The History Of Western Culture In China

Western style clothes were introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty.

People at that time, especially those with a certain status, wore gowns and gowns, which were considered "quintessence".

Whoever is the first to wear a suit, of course, is to take a big beating.

It is said that the first person wearing a suit was Yan Fu, the great thinker of the late Qing Dynasty, who was very serious.

He speaks fluent English and has been plated by a French diplomat.

The diplomat saw that he often wore long gowns and short gowns. He said, "if you're not dressed, you might as well wear a suit."

After listening to Yan Zi, he was afraid of people's words. He cut off his braid, wore his suit and tie and walked on the streets of Beijing.

In the crowd around the long gown and mandarin jacket, there was a stirring chat.

He is the first Chinese to wear a suit in Shenzhou, and his courage is still celebrated today.

After the middle of Guangxu (1875~1908), the number of students studying abroad increased day by day. Suits were prevalent among these people, and they continued to wear after returning to China.

At some trading ports, young people all wear suits to boast of the indignation of the rural party, the stubborn party members, and the ridicule of taking foreign clothes.

The suit maker retorted and said, "I will change my suit to the foreign clothing."

The public examination is self reflection, is it also ancient clothes?

The cover is full of state clothes and ears.

Manchu is also in Ming.

It is for both the public and the United Kingdom to take all the services of foreign countries and to choose them. "

The stubborn party was mocked and speechless.

Western dress culture represented by suits was officially launched on the Chinese historical stage after the revolution of 1911 overthrew the last feudal dynasty.

After 1919, the suit as a symbol of the new culture impacted the traditional robe, and the suit gradually became popular.

In 20s and 30s twentieth Century, with the coastal developed cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou ten Tianjin as the center, there was an upsurge in western style clothes among young students, teachers, companies and other organizations in the upper reaches of society and schools.

Since the founding of the Communist Party of China, the central clothing has always been the dominant clothing position.

After the reform and opening up, with the emancipation of the mind and the take-off of the economy, Western garments represented by western style clothes once again entered China with an irresistible trend of internationalization. People no longer discuss whether it has ever been worn by any class or ignore its unclear symbols and meanings. The Chinese people who want to integrate with the international market seem to accept this kind of dress culture which is strange but fresh.

As a result, a "suit heat" swept the land of China, and the Chinese people showed more enthusiasm for the suit than the westerners. It was a fashion to wear a suit and tie and tie.
