Analysis Of The Cultural Connotation And Current Situation Of Tujia Costumes

As an important carrier of the culture of the nation, clothing has four aspects of cultural connotation, which is an important symbol reflecting the social development of Tujia people, an important aspect reflecting the cultural exchange of the Tujia nationality, an important embodiment of the aesthetic interest of the Tujia people, and an important carrier to reflect the religious beliefs of the Tujia nationality.

Comparatively speaking, Tujia costumes do not wear gold and silver like Miao people, and are closer to life style and practical type.

Since the Republic of China, Tujia men and women wear headscarves all year round. Men are mainly green, blue, white or striped. They are two or three meters long, wrapped around their heads in a circle and wrapped in adult words. Women mostly use green silk handkerchiefs or white printed scarves. Silk handkerchiefs are thin like cicada wings, and up to seven or eight meters long. They are women's lifelong companionship.

Wear a pair of corsets, double row seven to eleven buckles, commonly known as centipede buckle, cuffs, necklines and trouser ends with lace; women are right on their sleeves, sleeves are large and short, decorated with lace, hanging with silver and copper ornaments, commonly known as "full skirts", with Manchu customs; unborn girls wear flower clothes, stress on bright red green; children like Bodhisattva hat, tiger head hat; men's shoes are mostly green blue cloth, women wear embroidered shoes; when girls get married, they must wear "dew clothes", with colorful peach blossom embroidered clothes, and eight rolls of dresses, and eight old women's skirts are similar. The clothes are mainly blue, blue, white and printed cloth.

According to Shen Congwen, a great writer, eight Luo skirts are authentic Tujia clothes.

In the past, Tujia men and women did not wear stockings, and played the role of leggings, especially men wrapped their trousers in the way of adult words, matched with cloth shoes or straw sandals. They were very spiritual, and national experts said that this was the war costume of Tujia soldiers and traces of the traditional system of chieftain "soldier peasant integration".

In addition, there are different professional clothes, such as a blacksmith wearing a long and wide leather belly pocket to prevent burns. Hunters Hang embroidered bullet belly bags for actual combat needs.

For those children who are not good at life, they should wear "100 locks" and wear hundreds of clothes according to the instructions of Tu Lao Si, that is to say, wear one hundred pieces of rags from one hundred families to make clothes, otherwise they will not be able to raise adults.

Therefore, the outsider said: Tujia people wore a "fastidious".

The present situation of Tujia costume culture

Since 1990s, the costume of Tujia nationality has undergone profound changes in the times.

On the one hand, under the influence of national cultural exchange, the traditional costumes of Tujia nationality gradually fell into the dilemma of being marginalized, and the Tujia people were dressed.

With fewer and fewer people wearing more and more modern fashions, on the other hand, with the gradual increase of the national consciousness of the Tujia people, the ecological culture tourism in our prefecture has developed rapidly, and various ethnic festivals have been gradually increasing, which makes the Tujia dress regain attention.

People's demand for innovative modern Tujia costumes is getting stronger and stronger. More and more modern costumes have been developed around the country.

However, in recent years, the Tujia ethnic costume developed by our state is multifarious and chaotic, which can not adapt to the contemporary changes of Tujia costumes, and can not meet the needs of the modern clothing of Tujia people.

To protect and inherit the culture of Tujia Costumes:

1, the loss of the costumes of the Tujia nationality is due to the fact that they constantly abandon the old and meet the new, and the difficulties of keeping clothes themselves. The national costume owners do not realize their importance and so on. On the other hand, due to the lack of enough eyesight in the national costume, the research conditions are poor, the funding gap is relatively large, and the relevant laws and policies have not yet been promulgated.

In view of this situation, on the one hand, we should actively rescue Tujia ethnic costumes resources, so as to avoid the disappearance of the distinctive ethnic costumes culture; at the same time, we should actively, purposefully, organised and systematically guide Tujia people to dress reform.

2, set up an exhibition of Tujia costumes and vigorously publicize the national culture of Tujia people, so that more and more people realize the importance of the dress culture of Tujia people, so that people can consciously protect this kind of intangible culture.

3, hold an art festival of Tujia costumes and let people know this dress culture better through arts festivals.

4, it is appropriate to allow commercialized entry, and to ensure that it does not affect the protection of Tujia dress culture, it will commercialize some handicrafts, such as embroidery, brocade, batik and ethnic costumes, making it a real tourist handicraft, pforming it into a certain economic product, while bringing economic income, and it can also be used as an effective means of cultural inheritance.

5, collection and personal collection is a very effective form of protection.

At present, the protection of the traditional ethnic culture in China is still dominated by museums, that is, through the recording of characters, audio-visual and other means, and together with objects, it is displayed in museums. Although the museum is carried out from the perspective of cultural relics collection, it also plays an important role in protecting the dress culture of ethnic minorities in China.

6, to further raise public awareness of the importance of salvaging and protecting the cultural resources of Tujia costumes is also a key task that is easy to be overlooked but should not be overlooked.

In the direction of public opinion, we should attach great importance to and strengthen guidance, and further awaken people's awareness of the protection of cultural resources of Tujia ethnic costumes, and correctly understand the importance and far-reaching significance of protecting them.

Through media publicity and educational intervention, we should enhance people's awareness of protection.
