Cultural Characteristics Of Chinese Tunic Suit

Nearly 100 years ago, the revolution of 1911 overthrew the monarchy and brought about tremendous changes in Chinese politics, economy, society, culture and life.

One of the major changes in the lives of thousands of men and women in China is one of men's "braids". Therefore, some people say that the 1911 Revolution is "starting from scratch", and the other is related to women.

No matter from the beginning or from the foot, when it comes to the revolution of 1911, people usually mention these two things.

But for Chinese tunic suits, most people will not hook up with the revolution of 1911.

In fact, designing, making and popularizing Chinese tunic suits is also a great event of the revolution of 1911. We can call it "the national costume".

We can call the revolution of 1911 "the whole body revolution" by "braid" and "putting foot" together with "national costume".

"Braids" and "putting foot" are certainly the great liberation of Chinese men and women, but in my view,

To be more specific, this feeling can be extended to the "four personalities" contained in the Chinese tunic suit.

One is political. The Chinese tunic suit reflects the pformation and replacement of the old and new political and social systems. This is the biggest politics. Many important parts of the Chinese tunic suit have rich political connotations, which materialize the three principles of the people, the four dimensions of the country and the separation of five powers.

Later, the Chinese tunic suit was designated as the statutory national costume of the Republic of China, and its political significance was even more prominent.

The two is revolutionary. The birth of the Chinese tunic suit is closely related to the revolution of 1911. Under the atmosphere of "braid and easy to serve", the Chinese tunic suit becomes a unique symbol of the revolutionaries. Wearing the Chinese tunic suit becomes a symbol of the revolution and the breakup of the Qing Dynasty feudalism.

The three is openness. As a revolutionary design, Zhongshan costume has inherited some traditional elements of Chinese clothing.

Of course, its biggest feature is openness.

First of all, it subverts the "gown lira" of the Qing Dynasty, absorbing elements of Western European hunting clothing and Japanese clothing, and combining with the prevailing "business collar" style jacket and student dress style of the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and referring to the characteristics of Western-style clothes, such as smoothness, smoothness and pockets, shows strong openness and openness.

The four is practicality. Compared with the long gown, mandarin jacket, especially the Qing Dynasty official uniform, the Chinese tunic suit is both economical and convenient for action.

The design of four bags plus soft buttons with buttons is both elegant and practical.

In particular, the two "tiger bags" under the top of the jacket can be more impressive with the amount of goods in the bag.

The Chinese tunic suit did not use the open collar and open way of the suit. Instead, it adopted an introverted style, which was easy to cut, not to waste cloth, and to save the annoying tie.

In this way, the Chinese tunic suit is not only a simple garment, but also a cultural symbol of an era.

Today, the political, revolutionary and openness of the Chinese tunic suit seems to have fallen back to the background of history. Yet the strong spiritual core embodied in it still has an enlightening effect on us.

And its practicality has always been accompanied by Chinese people. It has even affected some countries and influenced some foreigners.

I think this practicality will continue.

What I want more is the cultural meaning of the Chinese tunic suit, that is, its fifth personality.

We study the Chinese mountain suit today. The foothold should be on how to study, discuss, carry forward and utilize the cultural significance of the Chinese mountain suit.
