Chinese Tunic Suit: The Way Back

With the heroic images of the Republic of China portrayed on the screen by Jet Li and Donnie Yen, the Chinese tunic suit has returned to people's sight. Changed the material and details, but the classic image of Zhongshan suit still came back. Today, the clothing industry is increasingly emphasizing its own elements.

　　
Chinese wind blows Chinese tunic suit

　　
    Chinese tunic suit From birth to the early 80s of last century, it has always been the main male in our country. clothing 。 Whether in the Republic of China or after the founding of the people's Republic of China, the Chinese tunic suit became almost the uniform of Chinese men.

　　
But when hundreds of millions of men wore the same clothes into 1980s, "reform and opening up" made Chinese people see the new look of the world. The magic computer and the eye-catching color TV enable the Chinese to begin to listen to the voice of the outside world at once. The west wind blows, almost all Chinese men take off the Chinese tunic suit overnight and put on jeans.

　　
In the thirty years of "reform and opening up" which have made great achievements, Chinese clothes have been changed for a long time. But it seems that Chinese clothing has been playing the role of chaser. When people say "hip-hop", we buy large size. When we stop and look back at a certain time, we find that the "Chinese style" that we have left behind is the beauty of our country.

　　
The blue and white embroidered the Chinese woman's graceful, and the Zhongshan suit precisely portrayed the Chinese man's fortitude. As the world is paying more and more attention to the elements of China and China, the Chinese tunic suit also sees its way back.

　　
The Chinese tunic suit, which has been stirred by the Chinese wind, has been favored by more and more people, even foreigners. In this regard, some people will doubt whether the return of the Chinese tunic suit is a retrogression or the so-called patriotic slogans of so-called scholars. In fact, it is not that the return of the Chinese tunic suit is not simply a replication of the past, but rather a change based on twenty-first Century. You know, when the Chinese took off the Chinese tunic suit, the Chinese tunic suit could not give expression to their individuality in the age of emphasizing individuality. Today's Chinese tunic suits have undergone unprecedented changes in material and workmanship. Therefore, retrogression is not tenable.

　　
If it is not retrogression, is it not the blind patriotic slogan of so-called scholars? If there are people who hold this view, are they fashionable insulators or extremely self abased? Foreign clothes do have their own advantages, but this does not necessarily indicate that foreign countries are better than Chinese clothing. The so-called "no good, only suitable." China's elements and Chinese characteristics are also beautiful. Now that we have been internationally recognized, we should not belittle ourselves any more. With the help of the Chinese style, let the Chinese tunic suit become fashionable again.

　　
Captive fashion Tunic

　　
With the increasing popularity of the Republic of China's drama recently, after the 90s and 00, they also saw the faces of the "Zhongshan suit". More people began to admire the upright and upright Chinese tunic suit. The fashion industry is a member of the captive of the Chinese tunic suit.

　　
Jet Li, Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, Jaycee Chan, Donnie Yen, more and more famous stars are willing to wear Chinese tunic suits to attend various kinds of meetings. And fashion brands have also designed their own tunic suits, and Armani recently launched a ARMANI COLLEZIONI improved Chinese tunic suit, popular in Milan, Paris, New York, Tokyo and other major fashion cities. In addition, China's fashion industry has launched many new Chinese tunic suits in recent years. For example, in the Chinese tunic as a model, decorated with dragon, Phoenix, plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting and other patterns embroidery; for example, the printed fabric made of Chinese tunic, the black and white two colors of fabric stitching make Zhongshan suit, the solemn Zhongshan suit for lively and creative time.

　　
In addition, it is worth mentioning the emergence of the female version of Zhongshan suit that highlights the beauty of women's lines. All along, the Chinese tunic suit is a man's patent. The image of a firm and determined man has long convinced people that the Chinese tunic suit belongs only to men. However, the appearance of women's Chinese tunic suits completely subverted the mindset of people before the Zhongshan suit. As long as it looks good, why can't women wear a set of Chinese tunic clothes? In the last year's conceptual design of the Zhongshan dress concept sponsored by Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology, a large number of novelty Zhongshan dress designs made the audience look bright. The combination of popular elements and the classic version of the Chinese tunic style, desalinated its practical functions, and injected more elements of culture and art. The Chinese tunic suit is not a single uniform, but a change of body and a carrier of culture. These changes also make many brands regard Zhongshan clothing as an irreplaceable classic.

　　
As far as the audience is concerned, the Chinese tunic suits are not the nostalgic patents of older people. Choosing to wear Chinese tunic suits is no longer a matter of dress matching. It seems that it has become a problem of choosing a new way of life. Nowadays, a lot of young students who like to do "new meanings" wear Chinese tunic suits to take pictures of graduation and wear tunic to participate in literary and artistic performances. While some groom like to wear a Chinese tunic suit to take pictures of the bride's nostalgia. As a major event, men's suits and suits are no longer thriving. More and more people who love traditional culture replace Chinese suits with tunic suits. In the fashion of the captive, the Zhongshan suit also came to the countdown of its own return.

　　
Don't let the "inscription" obstruct development.

　　
It seems that any mention of the Chinese tunic suit requires mentioning the "inscription".

　　
The dispute over the right to apply for the Chinese tunic suit is fierce and dramatic. And the "Zhongshan dress inscription" is also like a buffoon. Excuse me, are you really so selfless for the flourishing rise of "Zhongshan suit"? Actually, it is driven by market interests. However, even those who are only interested in doing the job must do their homework well, so that the application of the inscription will not hinder the return of the Chinese tunic suit.

　　
As we all know, the Chinese tunic suit is made by Mr. Sun Zhongshan referring to the style of Japanese Sergeant costume. But in pursuit of the history of world clothing, we will find that Japanese NCO has a more profound source -- the German Sergeant costume at the end of nineteenth Century. Its concise style accords with the spiritual needs of the military and political movement at that time, thus becoming the object of imitation by all countries. The Russian official uniform and Japanese NCO costume are the results of the large-scale cloning. They have made their mark in the Russo Japanese War and the first World War.

　　
Since then, the German took the lead in inheriting the military uniform in nineteenth Century, and even the official uniform of the national defense army. The Russian official uniform, which was copied from the German military uniform, was later used by the Soviet regime and became the famous "Stalin suit". In China, it became a "Chinese tunic suit" because of Sun Zhongshan's "reference", and became a "Mao suit" because of Mao Zedong's "inheritance". In Vietnam and North Korea, it became "Hu Zhiming dress" and "Kim Il-Sung dress" because of the "transformation" of Hu Zhiming and Kim Il-Sung.

　　
Stalin, Sun Zhongshan and Hu Zhiming wore the same suits according to the observation of historical photographs. Although there have been some changes in detail, the uniforms of many countries in twentieth Century still show a shocking similarity. There is no doubt that the name of the Chinese tunic suit is called Deutschland, and its design does not have much original artistic content. In the time of plagiarism and accusation, it is only a shame for the Chinese tunic to take the clad clothes to the memorial.

　　
It is important to emphasize that the Chinese tunic suit does not impede its development. Although the Chinese tunic suit is "reference", it has different cultural connotations and emotional sustenance in China. In China, the Chinese tunic suit is not a uniform, but a formal dress. How to enable more people to choose the Chinese tunic suit as their formal dress in the future is the problem that the costumes should consider.

　　
Chinese tunic history

　　
In the early twentieth Century, although China had entered the path of modern history, traditional costumes still kept its original appearance. Clothing still used traditional robes, mandarin jacket, and leather cap. Shortly after 1900, the traditional style of dress began to be influenced by some foreign styles, and some changes occurred, but the basic patterns remained the same. Only after the outbreak of the revolution of 1911 in 1911 did some fundamental changes come into being. The revolution of 1911 not only brought about social upheaval, but also promoted the transformation of clothing. The Chinese tunic suit was born in this change.

　　
Chinese tunic suit is a large variety of modern Chinese clothing. The upper and lower sides of their jackets have a pocket with a lid and buttons. The lower part is a pair of trousers. This is a popular clothing after the revolution of 1911. It was worn by popular revolutionary forerunner Sun Zhongshan as a temporary president and was popular in the world.

　　
The origin of the Chinese tunic suit is said to be Sun Zhongshan when he was appointed Chief Marshal of the Chinese revolutionary government in Guangzhou. He felt that the suit was not only cumbersome in style but also inconvenient to wear, and it was not suited to the practical requirements of the Chinese people in their life and work at that time. However, the original Chinese clothing (breasted jacket, big shirt, etc.) could not fully show the spirit of the times when the Chinese people were striving to move forward, and also had the disadvantages of being similar to a suit in practice. So he advocated that a collar with a reverse collar instead of a suit shirt should be added to the collar at the time. In this way, a jacket will have the function of a suit, shirt and hard collar. The three dark bags of the top coat will be changed to four clear bags. The two bags next to it will also be cut into a "Piano bag" pattern that can be contracted with the amount of articles put into it. Sun Zhongshan said that he needed to reform his pocket so that his pocket could be put into books, notebooks and other essentials for study and work, and the soft cover was added to his pocket, so the articles in the bag were not easy to lose. The trousers designed by Mr. Sun Zhongshan are: front slots, dark buttons, left and right dark bags, a small pocket (front pocket) in front, a dark bag on the right rear hip, and a soft cover. Such trousers are convenient to wear and are also suitable for carrying necessities.

　　
At that time, there was a seams on the back of the Chinese tunic suit, with a middle waist on the back, 9 buttons on the front door buttons, and a "fat pleat" in the upper and lower pockets. Later, it gradually evolved into the present design: closed eight neckline neckline, sleeves, 5 front buttons, clear buttons, and seamless back. The cuff can be forked or fasten, or the buckles should be open or not. Ming pocket, left and right symmetry, cover, nail button, the top two bags are flat bags, the bottom corner is circular, the middle of the bag cover is curved, and the two big pockets below are tiger bags (1.5~2 cm on the edge). The trousers have three pockets (two side trouser bags and a back pocket with a cover), with trouser legs. It is obvious that the formation of the Chinese tunic suit has incorporated the traditional Chinese consciousness in the basic formation of the suit, and the overall profile is shoulder pad waist, balanced and symmetrical, and wears steadily and generously.

　　
Since its birth, the Chinese tunic suit has always been the most popular and favorite style for Chinese men. Sun Zhongshan, the democratic revolutionary of China, is the founder of Zhongshan suit.

　　
The Chinese tunic suit was promoted by Sun Zhongshan because of its simplicity and practicality. Since the revolution of 1911, it has become popular with Western-style clothes. Later, the government of the Republic of China ordered the Chinese tunic suit to be a dress, modifying the style of the Chinese tunic suit and giving the new meaning. Set up lapel collar, front button five buckles, four stickers, cuffs three buckles. The rear piece does not crack. In fact, these forms are exquisite. They contain meaning according to Zhou Dai's etiquette in the book of changes.

　　
First, the four pockets of the predecessor represent the four dimensions of the country (courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame), and the bag cover is the inverted penholder, which means to govern the country by writing.

　　
Secondly, the five buttons of the lapel are different from the separation of five powers in the western three powers (administration, legislation, judicature, examination and supervision).

　　
Third, the cuffs of three buttons represent the three principles of the people (nationality, civil rights and people's livelihood).

　　
Fourth, the back does not crack, indicating the great meaning of national peaceful reunification.

　　
Fifthly, the collar is turned into a closed collar, showing the concept of strict rule.
