A Big Country With Clothes Must Have Its Own National Costume &Nbsp; What Kind Of Diplomatic Dress Should Be Chosen?

Looking forward to the future, what kind of clothes should we wear in the diplomatic field? Do we need to have our diplomatic dress? What diplomatic dress is the best way to represent our country?

I think there are four possible options in the future:

1. Western-style clothes "convergence" + nationality clothing 。

This is the trend of people's dressing up in international exchanges, which will be quite long in the future. period This will remain the case. Today, leaders and diplomats in the world generally agree with Western suits rather than Western dresses. They were dressed in common. Man's suit Attendance at various official and ceremonial activities has become a trend. The leaders of some countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Arabia still insist on wearing traditional clothes. This style of "big group and small freedom" is in line with the trend of multi civilization development. Under the situation of "convergence" of this suit, we seem to have forgotten the "little freedom", that is, to wear Chinese tunic suits, but gradually to like western clothes and "follow the crowd". In view of the prevailing Western-style clothes, there is a tendency of "convergence" in style and color, so some clothes with national characteristics are good phenomena.

Two, western dress space is limited.

Western dresses are popular only in some western countries. Over the past 60 years since the founding of new China, our leader and diplomat dress practice has shown that we are not accustomed to wearing it, and this situation will continue in the future. However, when there are special circumstances (such as the new year banquet in Iceland and some western countries' submission of the book of ceremonies), they should be flexible. My diplomats can also wear Western gowns as appropriate.

Three, the Chinese tunic suit should still be chosen.

After the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, the use of Chinese tunic suits in the Republic of China was a great progress in the history of China's clothing reform. It was inherited by new China and became the landmark clothing of Mao Zedong and other founding fathers. Since the reform and opening up, Chinese leaders, government officials and diplomats who have been accustomed to wearing suits have gradually forgotten the Chinese tunic suit, resulting in the decline and embarrassment of the Chinese tunic suit. However, in diplomatic etiquette, we only have tunic and Qipao when we need to wear formal dress. Therefore, it is suggested that the relevant regulations should be issued by the government. In the important ceremonial occasions (such as the submission of national credentials, the national ceremonial activities, etc.), the Chinese tunic suit should still be the official form. It is particularly emphasized that the leadership of the state is the key.

Four, in the long run, a big country with clothes must have its own national costume.

The Chinese tunic suit is depressed, which shows that it can not shoulder the heavy responsibility of national service for a long time. How can we be submerged as a big country in the rise of Chinese civilization? The design of new national costume should be mentioned on the agenda. The design of national costume is not fast, but to be stable, we should fully embody the broad and profound cultural tradition of the Chinese nation. At the same time, we must proceed from reality and make it solemn, elegant, beautiful and practical.

In fact, the dress design for diplomats was mentioned more than 100 years ago. In the thirty-four years (1909) of Guangxu, Sun Baoqi, Minister of Germany, played the Ministry of foreign affairs, requesting diplomats to abandon their royal clothing and wear western dress. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs published the Provisional Regulations on the consular official service system of diplomats in January 10th (January 10, 1913) in two. However, those dresses obviously did not withstand the test of time and did not pass down. When we design a new national costume, we must learn from that unsuccessful lesson.
