Chinese Etiquette Dress &Nbsp, Showing 5000 Years Of Brilliance.

　　 To the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Olympic Games and the Chinese compatriots:

The Chinese nation has always been a warm and hospitable people. At the Beijing Olympic Games, we will welcome friends from all over the world. We should take the enthusiasm of our hosts and put on our national costumes and give our national traditions. Ceremony Let the enthusiasm and charm of the Chinese nation always leave the best memories for the guests.

The Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee has exclaimed "the world's sixteen days to China and China's five thousand years in the world". China is the sum of the past, the present and the future. The Chinese nation is linked by the Chinese culture from ancient times to the two sides of the Taiwan Straits and compatriots from all over the world. Therefore, what we want to show to the world is the cultural tradition of our nation, the cultural spirit of striving for self-improvement and moral integrity. It is the ideal of today's achievement and future. A perfect nation is bound to have a unique personality. A nation with long charm must have a long and splendid culture. A warm and hospitable nation must have self-esteem, self-confidence and sincerity. Therefore, we should not only show the same side with the world, but also show China's unique style, showing our nation's self-esteem, self-confidence and courtesy. Let human civilization meet and merge here!

The conclusion of International Olympic Committee's assessment of Beijing is that "hosting the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China will leave a unique Olympic legacy." In the statement of the Beijing Olympic bid delegation, He Zhenliang, chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee, pointed out: "the Olympic Games in Beijing will leave a unique legacy for Beijing, China and world sports." (see "the full text of the Beijing Olympic bid delegation") how to make this unique legacy as much as possible to reduce future regrets is a question that we need to consider now.

No matter what country the Olympic Games are held, all of them show their unique style. How can our national style be displayed? Clothing and etiquette are very important aspects. Costumes are the second skin of human beings and the first impression they give to people. Wearing ethnic costumes, the nation's self-esteem, self-confidence and unique demeanor can be displayed. Etiquette is an important form of dealing with people. Wearing national dress and adopting national etiquette embodies national dignity and reflects respect for guests. Therefore, what kind of dress and etiquette should be given special attention in Olympic Games.

"The outline of the cultural development plan of the 11th Five-Year" clearly pointed out: "culture is the soul of a nation and a nation, and embodies the character of a nation and a nation." The power of culture is deeply rooted in the vitality, creativity and cohesion of the nation. It is the spiritual support for uniting the people and promoting development. The 5000 year long splendid Chinese culture has made great contributions to the progress of mankind. It is the spiritual link of the Chinese nation's endless growth and the transmission of the national vein. It is also a source of strength for the Chinese nation to face severe challenges and to stand up to all kinds of complex environments and to endure calamity. Ceremonial dress is an important carrier of Chinese culture.

We are in the mind of the world. Culture In the spring tide, we should be the tide makers, instead of being allowed to rise and fall in the spring tide, and should not be drowned in the spring tide. We are in the environment of multicultural communication. The prosperity of the Chinese culture is our responsibility. The promotion of our country and the nation's soft power needs form and content. "Gentle, then gentleman."

We are pleased to see that Ye Hongming, member of the CPPCC National Committee, proposed this year to establish "Hanfu" as "national costume". Liu Minghua, deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC), suggested that when the three major degrees of Chinese Ph.D., master's degree and bachelor's degree were awarded, the Chinese costume of Hanfu series should be awarded. The Han nationality head of the People's Republic of China government website had been modified to wear Han Fu's image. In the mainland and Taiwan, as well as Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand, Japan, Canada and other places, there were many websites to publicize deep clothing and Hanfu. Many compatriots not only promoted the deep clothing and Hanfu, but also brought Chinese costumes and etiquette into their lives. Therefore, in the Olympic Games, the Chinese wore deep clothes and Han members wore Hanfu, and they put the Hanfu into reality.

We have always called ourselves "the Chinese nation", and we are proud and confident in "Huaxia", so why are we called "Huaxia"? "Zuo Zhuan Ding Gong ten years" sparse: "China has a great etiquette, so called Xia"; the beauty of the service chapter is called Hua. Therefore, if we can not show the beauty of our national costumes, we will be ashamed of the word "Hua" and cannot show our national etiquette. We will be ashamed of the word "Xia". China has been known as "the state of clothing and ceremonies" since ancient times. Therefore, we must pay attention to our etiquette and pay attention to our decorum. Only in this way can Chinese culture be fully reflected in the five thousand noon, which is more consistent with the requirements of the 11th Five-Year cultural development program.

How do we present Chinese costumes and Chinese rituals to the world?

Wearing personnel and occasions: Chinese athletes in the opening and closing ceremonies, etiquette service personnel throughout the Olympic Games. Or appear in the opening ceremony.

Why should we choose " Deep clothing "As a Chinese nation's" dress ", because the Chinese national dress should have at least four conditions: first, it should be a costumes that are enduring with the long history and culture of our nation, rather than the costumes that are fashionable in a certain era; second, it should be the costumes that best reflect the Chinese culture, rather than the only fashionable dress; third, it should be the costumes representing the overall image of the Chinese nation, rather than the dress of a group image; fourth, it should be the costumes with the unique style of the Chinese nation, rather than the patchwork combination of the costumes of various nationalities and even the countries of the world. There is only one best choice that can fully meet the above four conditions. That is "deep clothing".

The deep garment originated in the era of Huangdi Xuanyuan (with very definite evidence dating back to the Shang Dynasty). Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was the most important Chinese costume. Deep clothing was not the dress of a dynasty, nor the dress of a certain nation of the 56 peoples. Therefore, only the deep clothing is enough to represent the costumes tradition of China. Because we have been attaching importance to cultural heritage and attaching importance to the continuation of history, this long history dress has lasted for more than two thousand years in China, and in the Ming Dynasty, the "deep clothing system" followed the "family rite" into the official repair of the "sex science", which is a compulsory course for every student, thus making it a necessary and popular costume for folk festivals and wedding ceremonies.

The influence of "deep clothing" is not only in China but also in many Eastern countries. In terms of clothing, Japanese kimono and Korean Hanfu are all derived from Chinese costumes. For example, the Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and other mound areas, because they belong to the Chinese civilization circle in history, their clothes are also handed over to the right side, and the wide sleeves are the same as ours. They reflect the consistency of Eastern civilization and the spiritual influence of the Chinese nation. But Japan, Korea, Vietnam and other countries in the song and Ming Dynasties laid their dress patterns, so their clothes were called "straight body" in ancient terms (also called direct and Dao Pao), which belonged to the Chinese traditional clothes. {page_break}

Deep clothing is the costumes that best reflect the spirit of Chinese culture. Deep clothing symbolizes the unity of heaven and man, magnanimous, fair and upright, and the Oriental virtues of all things. The cuffs are broad, symbolizing the harmony of heaven and the earth; the intersection of the necklines at the right angles symbolizes the right founder; a straight seam is linked up and down, symbolizing the integrity of humanity; the waist is a large belt, symbolizing trade-offs; the two parts of the upper garment and the lower garment symbolize the two instruments; the top coat is made of four cloth, symbolizing the four seasons of the year; the twelve clothes of the next cloth are used to symbolize the year December. Wearing a deep clothing can naturally reflect the harmony of heaven and nature, embrace the right way of integrity, suit the correct path of human life, move forward and retreat and balance the rules, and make the daily life conform to the order of four. Therefore, it is the best and the only choice to wear deep garments as the dress of the Chinese nation. In addition, any "created" dress can not contain 5000 years of Chinese culture. The dress of any 56 ethnic groups can not represent the whole of the Chinese nation. Therefore, it is suggested that athletes of the Chinese nationality wear deep garments at the Olympic Games, in the entrance and closing ceremonies, wearing ceremonial clothes, ceremonial ceremonies and ceremonial personnel. At least there should be a square array of deep clothing.

During the Olympic Games, we should advocate the whole nation to wear the costumes of the most distinctive Chinese nationality, especially the citizens of Beijing and the citizens and overseas Chinese who watch the games. Of course, the clothing of spectators and citizens is not considered by the Olympic Committee, but it can be passed quickly through the advocacy and patriotic enthusiasm of the people. As the host of the Olympic Games, as a 5000 year old ceremonies, we should first have a sense of ownership, just like the ancient greeting guests -- the master will put on his best dress, so that guests will never forget.

The Han costume is worn as the dress and occasion of Han nationality's costumes: the compatriots of the Han nationality are playing with the other 55 nationalities at the same time. Han compatriots are encouraged to wear Hanfu.

Deep clothing represents the image of the Chinese nation, and Han clothing represents the image of the Han nationality. Hanfu is evolved from the development of deep clothing. In the period of pre Qin and Han Dynasties, people usually used "clothes" to refer to Chinese clothing. Therefore, China enjoys the reputation of "ancient clothes and crown". The word "Hanfu" was first recorded in Hanshu: "after the number of visits to the Han Dynasty, the clothing system of Yue Han". The Han Dynasty mainly refers to the Han Dynasty, which refers to the dress etiquette system in the Han Dynasty.

The formation of the so-called Hanfu is directly related to the Han Dynasty. Just like the traditional clothing of Hu people is called "Hu Fu", the Han nationality's traditional costumes also have the corresponding name "Han eye". Therefore, the basic connotation of this term is also fixed, that is, Han traditional costumes. It was originally used by other ethnic groups to call the Han traditional costumes, and thus became a cultural symbol of Chinese self-identity. In the song, yuan and Ming Dynasties, some alien rulers explicitly referred to Han costumes as "Hanfu". For example, "after the emperor came into the Jin Dynasty, the emperor and the Han officials in the south of the Han Dynasty used Hanfu, and the imperial service of the Empress Dowager and the North class Qidan officials were used in the Five Dynasties. When the Yuan Dynasty repaired Liao history, it even created a "Hanfu" strip for Hanfu. From then on, the "Han" in Hanfu did not refer to the "Han nationality" but "Han Dynasty". In this sense, "deep clothing" existed before Han Dynasty, and Hanfu was only a name from Han Dynasty.

There are 56 nationalities in our country. Up to now, 55 ethnic groups still have their own national costumes, but it is amazing that the Han nationality who lost more than 90% of the population of the Chinese nation has lost their national costumes. It is unbelievable that the Han nationality does not have its own national costumes, but because of the well-known reasons, this dress has been suspended for more than three hundred and sixty years since the Qing Dynasty. In view of this, we sincerely invite the organizing committee to encourage Chinese compatriots to wear Han clothes in this rare occasion, so as to solve the Han nationality's dress problem.

"Ritual" is divided into two aspects of etiquette and politeness. Etiquette is the intrinsic meaning of ritual, and ritual is the external form of etiquette. "Li Ji Qu Li" said: "propriety is appropriate and custom is made." The husband is a ritual, so it is not enough to be intimate, not suspicious, or different. We know that "the three generation of different rites", so the form of etiquette can be adapted, but the inner meaning of etiquette can not be changed. Our nation can not do without its own national etiquette.

When our country's personnel visit other countries, we respect the local ceremonial form, which is respect for other countries. When representatives from other countries visit China, the adoption of Chinese etiquette is also a respect for China. If we discard our national etiquette and adopt the form of foreign etiquette at home, it is not only our disrespect for our national etiquette, nor our national self-esteem and confidence.

The use of the ceremonial form of the Chinese nation is a manifestation of "self-improvement". Respect for the etiquette of the other side when going abroad is a reflection of "carrying virtue". We have always used the "ceremonial state", but we have used the handshake ceremony of foreign nationalities in the important occasions of our country, and abandoned the ceremonial form that the Chinese nation has been circulating for thousands of years. We can no longer regard ourselves as a "state of ceremonies". Therefore, it is suggested that we should use the very basic skills of Chinese etiquette as a form of etiquette. The difference between men and women is that the man's left hand is in front and the right hand is behind; the woman's right hand is in front and the left hand is behind. )

The above initiatives are solemnly put forward by members of the Chinese nation. We earnestly hope that the OCOG and the national government will consider this and eagerly look forward to the warm support of the Chinese compatriots.
