From material to Aesthetics: value pformation of clothing

In the early days of the founding of new China, even before the reform and opening up, no matter the streets or alleys of cities or villages, the impression that people wore to people was monotonous black, white and gray.

Today, not only young people, but even seventy or eighty year old people wearing colorful clothes are no longer strange.

At the foot of the hero mountain in Ji'nan, the reporter met several elderly people who are enjoying the cool. Although these seventy or eighty old people are wearing bright blue, purple, black and white floral shirts and dark blue skirts.

"When we were young, we had no skirts at all. We made clothes made of old coarse cloth that we made, and clothes made of coarse cloth in summer were not cool at all."

An old man who had done tree protection work at the Ji'nan Bureau of parks and Woods said that at that time, he used spinning and weaving to make clothes, rubbing hemp rope with his hands, and making shoes for cloth shoes.

"What style of clothes is there? Pull two buttons on the cloth and put them on the body."

Hou Yingtang, who lives in Ji'nan Shun Yu District, is 64 years old.

She said, before eighteen, nine years old, she always wore coarse cloth, "she weaves cloth and bubbles in the water, and puts on the stain of Indigo powder, light blue coat, deep blue trousers, and wears it all the year round."

It was not until the age of 18 that a barefoot doctor began to have a blue printed trousers and a pink coat. The baby was very much and could not bear to wear it at all.

In the 60s of last century, China was greatly influenced by the Soviet Union from dress, hairstyle to life style.

"At that time, some fashionable women began to wear pleated skirts, but very few.

Most men wear tunic suits.

At that time, everyone had a good time to eat, and few people wanted to wear nice clothes.

The retired man of Ji'nan Bureau of parks and Woods said.

In the early days of reform and opening up, clothing design entered into people's life. Clothing was pformed from tailor's one-piece production or small workshop processing to factory garment and batch production, and fabrics were converted from coarse cotton to chemical fiber, but the style was relatively monotonous.

Lv Xuehai, a professor at Shandong College of Arts and Crafts, said that in the early 80s of last century, clothing education was brought into higher education in China. Some artists began to get involved in fashion design education, and they fully penetrated into the colors, shapes and styles of clothing.

With the diversified pursuit of clothing, clothing is not only artistic, but also gradually with technological content.

Subsequently, manufacturers applied the new technology to clothing production, combining art and science, and people also gave clothing more emotional appeals.

Nowadays, clothing has risen from simple objects with value to people's pursuit of aesthetic symbols, and the rhythm of popularity is faster and faster.

From conservative simplicity to open pluralism

Since the reform and opening up, clothing has undergone rapid changes. The style has changed from monotonous to pluralistic, and its color has been monotonous.

Lv Xuehai said that before the "Cultural Revolution", material was scarce, and clothing only played its most natural role, and only had material value.

The restriction of social environment, lack of innovation in technology and low level of material determine the monotonous unity of people's dress.

"Whether it's a Chinese tunic suit, a military uniform or a tooling, people have to wear it and not dare to make innovations."
