Costume, Cheongsam And Kimono

A

Clothing is an important form of human culture.

It can be said that human beings have clothes.

For the practicability of oneself and the dual function of human aestheticism, make

Become a necessity in human life.

At the same time, clothing is also a symbol of human civilization, showing social development and change.

Our country has existed since ancient times.

"Reputation".

When the primitive people bid farewell to the "fur coat", clothing played a role in distinguishing the class difference in the long slave society and feudal society.

The imperial concubines, dignitaries and even the people of Lebanon are strictly differentiated from their clothing and clothing.

And in the folk, different national costumes interact with each other, learn from each other, complement each other, its decorations are also varied and changeable, showing the rich and exquisite aspect of our dress culture.

In this constant change, clothing has formed its own basic laws.

The affiliated system is the two basic form.

The two forms are compatible and compatible.

In the decorative patterns, the most beautiful animal patterns, plant patterns and geometric patterns are adopted.

The pattern of expression has roughly undergone several stages: primitive abstraction, norms of Tang and Song Dynasties, and realism of Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the color of clothing, green, red, black, white and yellow are regarded as "positive colors". Some Dynasty rules are only available to emperors, but the people of the Li people can only wear the "shade" that is made up of these colors.

After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, yellow became the exclusive color of emperors.

In raw materials, from raw skins, feathers, leaves, etc. to the hemp,

Wool, silk, cotton and other fabrics.

In ancient China, clothing became the reflection and embodiment of the ruling class's thoughts, feelings and aspirations.

In different times, people's aesthetic requirements for clothing are different.

In our country, the Han Dynasty took Zhao Feiyan's slender and lean as the beauty. In the Tang Dynasty, the beauty of Yang Yuhuan's rounded and fullness was the beauty of the two women's costumes of the dynasties.

Bare the breast and show the full beauty of the people.

It can be said that "the short and the long and the barren are different, and the Yuhuan flying swallow will hate them".

In the Song Dynasty, it changed the width and exposure of the Tang Dynasty to narrow, thin, long and strange, forming a rigorous and implicit style.

The Qing dynasty women's clothing reflects the characteristics of Manchu Costumes: the big combs, the cheongsam, and the feet of the flower pots.

The changes of costumes of different dynasties highlight a decorative beauty and hide the beauty of curves.

Until modern times, because of Western Europe.

The influence of women's clothing began to tighten their waistline and show the female's posture to show its graceful and graceful curve beauty.

In many of our costumes, say cheongsam.

Cheongsam, formerly Manchuria flag woman clothing.

After the revolution of 1911, Han women were also widely adopted.

After continuous improvement, the general pattern of cheongsam is: straight collar, right open big neck, tight waist, long coat to knee, two sides split, and long short sleeves.

The most exquisite decoration is lace.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the border was narrower and the color was more plain.

By the end of Qing Dynasty, the edge of clothing became more and more extensive, and the lace was rolling more and more. From three sets of three rolls, five sets of five rolls, it developed to "Eighteen sets of rolls".

There are also different jewels in the skirts and heels.

Or hollowed up lace, with various designs.

Such clothes are almost invisible because they are too large to wear.

In the Qing Dynasty, when women wore cheongsam, they had to wear shoes with flowerpot bottom, four or five inches high, wide and round in shape, and resembling flowerpots, so they were commonly called "flower pot bottom".

Because the bottom of the middle is chiseled into a horseshoe type, the footprint is like a horse's hoof, so it is also called "horseshoe bottom".

Modern cheongsam has been improved on the basis of Manchu flag and has become a traditional Chinese dress.

Its material is excellent, tailored and exquisite.

Put it on, can better reflect the Eastern women's graceful figure and elegant demeanor demeanor.

Therefore, many foreign fashion designers say that they focus on the traditional aesthetic sense of Chinese costume design, and call it China.

Wisdom and crystallization.

Cheongsam, as a formal dress for banquets and other solemn occasions, is especially graceful and graceful. Therefore, the beauty of cheongsam is rich in another meaning: it shows respect for attending occasions and owners, and also contains a love of national costumes. It also shows a distinctive and extraordinary personality characteristic.

This year, the cheongsam has again become the favorite clothing of many contemporary Chinese women because of the movie "the mood for life" and the TV play "like fog and rain, like the wind".

From the Chinese cheongsam, people will naturally associate the women of Japan.

Kimono.

The history of kimono has been around for more than 1000 years.

In the sixth Century, during the Tang Dynasty, the style of the women's dress collar and the style of the veil were deeply loved by the Japanese people.

So the Japanese imitated the Tang Dynasty dresses and carefully designed kimono and became popular in Japan.

Because kimono is not only suitable for the humid climate in Japan, but also able to avoid weaknesses in the Japanese physique, kimono has gradually become a traditional Japanese costume.

Over time, kimono production has formed a series of rules: for example, the size of collars, the choice of colors, and the position of the clothes pillow (behind the small burden) should be changed according to age.

The common small circles on kimono are the marks of home patterns. There are also differences in family patterns of different classes and families, with foliage and flower like patterns showing differences in social status.

These patterns are fixed and handed down from generation to generation.

After the war, Japan developed rapidly and the way of life tended to be European and American.

People seldom ask for convenience, save time and reduce expenses.

。

But on important occasions such as graduation ceremony, daughter's day and marriage ceremony, kimono is still an essential clothing.

It not only plays an important role in adding solemn atmosphere, but also is a kind of enjoyment and edification of beauty.

Though wearing kimono and learning special theories, history, structure, place of origin, style, hairdressing choice, clothing pillow system, collar folding and shoes selection, it is cumbersome and exhausting, but the Japanese people still love kimono as before.

Whether it is cheongsam, or

They all constitute the cultural connotations of different nationalities.

With the progress of the society, the development of economy, the improvement of civilization and the change of lifestyle, clothing is the embodiment of a person's temperament and even cultural accomplishment, so modern people pay more attention to dressing.

Different people love and choose different styles of clothes. Different styles of clothing make different people show or air or mediocrity or simplicity.
