The Development Of Chinese Clothing And Accessories

Chinese dress and adornment is the result of human unique labor. It is both the crystallization of material civilization and the implication of spiritual civilization. Human society has been moving slowly for hundreds of thousands of years through ignorance, barbarism and civilization. Our ancestors wandered in the wind and rain for countless years after being aptly separated from apes. Finally, they had difficulty in stepping into the threshold of the civilized era, and learned how to hide their bodies and create a material civilization.

However, the pursuit of beauty is human nature, and clothing is to people, such as gold in Buddha, its role is not only in covering up the body, but also beautifying the function.

Almost from the day of the origin of clothing, people have deposited their life customs, aesthetic tastes, color preferences, and all kinds of cultural mentality and religious concepts into their costumes, thus forming the spiritual civilization connotation of clothing culture.

Chinese clothing, like Chinese culture, is formed by the infiltration and influence of all nationalities.

Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, especially after modern times, a great deal of assimilation and melting of the outstanding cultures of the world's foreign cultures has been able to evolve into a whole so-called Chinese dress culture with Han nationality as its main body.

This is the conclusion of American anthropologist English Fei: "a cultural project is the result of external infiltration, or the product of natural independent invention. This issue is very critical for those who focus on historical heritage, and it is also important for those who use comparative research methods.

We can say for sure that in all cultures, more than ninety percent of the content comes first in the form of cultural infiltration.

To understand the diverse styles, unique styles, bright colors and exquisite workmanship of Chinese costumes, the primary task is to have a clear understanding of the development path of the Chinese nation's vast and profound clothing culture, so that we can open up the foundation of Chinese costume culture through browsing.

The achievements of Archaeology and ancient anthropology after the founding of new China have traced the origin of dress culture back to the upper cave age of primitive society in the late Paleolithic age.

In the distant past, humans began to hide and protect their bodies and keep warm by hunting hide.

In summer, leaves are picked up to protect the sun from heat.

This indicates that human beings have just emerged from the animal realm, and the prototype of primitive costumes has emerged.

The clothing culture, which is characterized by sewing, is found in the remains of the cave man.

The clothing is no longer a simple use of natural materials, but also evolved into a structure suited to the needs of human life, creating a precedent for the Chinese nation's dress culture.
