Here world Clothing and shoes The Xiaobian of the net introduces the meaning of the new Chinese dress.

In November 14th, Wu Jianhua came to Beijing, and was invited to attend the twenty-second informal meeting of the Asia Pacific economic co operation (APEC) at the Beijing National Swimming Center (Water Cube) to conclude the conference on service guarantee in Beijing.

Wu Jianhua, chairman of Jiangsu Dingsheng silk Co., was arranged on the seats of important participants. Before that, someone had greeted him. After half a meeting, he would come to the stage to receive the award. The prize winner would be mayor Wang Anshun of Beijing. Thinking of this, Wu Jianhua was a little excited, writing his mood and knowledge on WeChat's circle of friends.

4 nights ago, it was also in the water cube. President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan hosted the leaders, representatives and spouses of the APEC member economies. They dressed in Chinese designer's "new suit" specially made for this APEC conference, leaving a "family portrait" in the background of the water cube interior wall.

As a result, Song Jin, "new clothes" and other words with rich Chinese characteristics have become a hot topic in all walks of life. It is like the APEC "second venue" to scrutinize the conference. Apart from the costumes, whether it is the exquisite banquet porcelain, or the "Four Seas rising" Cloisonne vase, the "flowers" handbag suit, and the "harmony 0" pure silver scarf fruit plate three sets of "national rites", have greatly enriched China's national image.

"The application of Song Jin and new suits in the APEC conference is a way for us to convey and convey the diversity and richness of China to the world." Jin Canrong, vice president of University of International Relations and vice president of China Association of international relations, told the times weekly reporter of Renmin University of China.

"Rush for examination" in textile industry

Song Jin finally wears on the leaders of the APEC Member States, which is inseparable from a person's "matchmaking" - Design Director of Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology design and Research Center, Chu Yan.

Chu Yan is the first Chinese doctoral student in the field of traditional clothing to rescue and inherit and innovate design. He participated in the dress design of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. In November last year, she introduced song brocade to her design work in China Fashion Week and was recognized by the industry. Shortly after that, Chu Yan signed a song brocade brand under the silk banner of Dingsheng.

Chu Yan told the times weekly reporter that the collection of the leaders' fashion design scheme started in late December 2013, and the organizers sent out design invitations to 71 enterprises, 259 designers and 18 colleges and universities. From February to September this year, after several rounds of deliberation and review, the expert evaluation team selected 35 samples of clothing from 455 design proposals for further design. As at the end of October, leaders' clothing production and packaging work were completed according to the plan.

Another designer, Zhao Huizhou, said that from the beginning of fabric design, the China Textile Information Center and the national fabric Innovation Alliance under the national textile product development center cooperated with each other and gathered the innovative force of the entire textile industry chain.

In 2014, APEC, one of the members of the office of the Preparatory Leading Group of Beijing, Liu Yuanfeng, President of Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology, told the times in an interview with the media that in fact, at the beginning of the design, the leaders' special instructions to reflect the profound culture that China has 5000 years of inheritance in the choice of clothing is an ancient civilization country. Therefore, when choosing Hanfu, Qipao or Chinese tunic clothes as representative of Chinese costumes, it is always controversial from the design team to the society when presenting to APEC leaders.

Finally, Liu Yuanfeng put forward a new design concept, so that those who are persistent in debate will return to the thinking of design, simply summarizing the past as the present, the combination of Chinese and western, harmony and difference, and the future. As soon as his proposal was reported to the central level leaders and contractors, the relevant leaders of Beijing were immediately highly recognized, and a completely new design guidance was quickly finalized and handed back to the design group. Leaders also specially asked that it is necessary to run through the design of this set of clothing throughout our 5000 years of civilization heritage essence.

According to the interpretative information provided by the design team, the "Zhong" represents China's tradition and civilization. Style, the fusion of Chinese classics of the past dynasties. On the pattern, show the essence of traditional patterns. Such as the sea water river cliff, the Song Dynasty has appeared on the clothing; the WAN character pattern, the Han Dynasty has already applied on the clothing. In the process, we adopt traditional Chinese characteristics. Such as the Song Dynasty, the use of the clasp is popular in the Qing Dynasty. In terms of color, traditional colors such as the Imperial Palace red, indigo, peacock blue, deep purple red, golden brown, black brown and so on are selected.

The "new" represents innovation on the basis of inheritance. Style, such as "standing collar, pair of cardigan" innovative style more traditional formal clothing means, rich levels add a sense of livelier and more relaxed. Fabric, such as computerized jacquard weaving, greatly improves the production efficiency and reduces the cost of song brocade. A small amount of wool and colorful yarn make it more extensive, warm and bright. Patterns, such as the innovative design of the traditional patterns such as the Hai Shui River Cliff, make it more convenient to convey the beautiful meaning of the 21 economies. The tailoring process, such as the way of clipping the combination of Chinese and western, makes it more comfortable and comfortable under the premise of expressing Chinese rhyme.

"Etiquette" represents the Chinese etiquette culture. The 2014 APEC conference is an important multilateral diplomatic occasion, with high specification, great influence and worldwide attention. Leaders' clothing should not only convey the idea of "pluralism, openness and inclusiveness", but also conform to the requirements of occasions and personas. It should not only reflect a strong sense of ritual, but also fully show the temperament and demeanor of leaders. This series of garments is not only rigorous, dignified, but also tolerant and atmosphere. In the patterns, they both symbolize auspiciousness, and they are not dazzling, expensive and not obvious. In color, they are both joyful, warm, pure and fashionable. As a whole, it has a great momentum and a strong sense of ritual. It expresses the way Chinese people "have friends from far away".

"Song brocade selected as APEC clothing fabric is of great significance, because in the history of Chinese clothing evolution, it has the meaning of the past." Wu Xiangtian, a research expert in Chinese traditional dyeing and weaving technology, told the times weekly reporter.

In Wu Xiangtian's view, although the song brocade was full of disorder and lost several times, it was regarded as a mascot for longevity and prosperity. "This APEC conference takes song brocade as a costumes. Apart from showing the world the beautiful future of China's blessing, it also expresses to the world the spirit of Chinese traditional culture being broad, profound and immortal."

Over the years, Chinese government officials have chosen tunic and Qipao as formal costumes to take part in some domestic and international activities. Until the 2001 APEC summit in Shanghai, Tang suit was put forward and applied.

At the same time, as people's enthusiasm for traditional Chinese culture has been enhanced, Hanfu has also been included in the costumes representing China's image. At this APEC meeting, the new business card of the representative service is the new suit.

According to Wu Xiangtian's analysis, the new costume shows the inheritance of all the clothing accumulated by China's 5000 years of civilization, instead of inheriting and carrying forward a certain Dynasty and a certain civilization. "This can be regarded as a new attitude."

New style of traditional culture

According to the Times reporter's interview with many government officials and scholars, the new leadership group attaches great importance to the modernization of state governance and rationally utilizes the wisdom of Chinese excellent traditional culture.

The Xinhua news agency has combed President Xi Jinping's talk about the dynamics of traditional culture. He visited the Confucius government and the Confucius Research Institute in Confucius's hometown of Qufu, and visited the "Guoxue scholar Tang", "54". From the Politburo collective study, it talked about the traditional culture and the national soft power, and when it visited Beijing Normal University, it definitely opposed "de Sinicization". It explained the exchanges between Chinese civilization and overseas civilization from foreign affairs activities, and advocated the introduction of ancient poetry and classics on the special plane of 10000 meters high. President Xi Jinping has shown the importance of traditional culture on many occasions.

On the morning of March 7th this year, during the two session of the twelve National People's Congress, general secretary Xi Jinping and the delegations of the Guizhou delegation considered the report on the work of the government. They pointed out: "the core of a country's comprehensive strength is its cultural soft power. This is about the cohesion of the spirit. We must strengthen our theoretical confidence, self-confidence and confidence in the road, and the most fundamental thing is to add a cultural self-confidence."

In March, President Xi Jinping's neat Chinese style dress went to the state banquet in Holland; in April, President Xi in Belgium again dressed in "Chinese style" dress to make the world shine. Speaking at the time, he said that the Chinese people have a unique and long spiritual world, so that Chinese people have strong national self-confidence. At that time, foreign media generally believed that President Xi Jinping's "Chinese style" dress was a miniature of showing the Chinese culture and showing the confidence of Chinese culture.

"China has both an ancient and long history heritage, and has a strong ability to learn and sea. It can fully integrate with modern changes and is not to be belittled. The APEC contractor, by chance of many heads of state coming to China, can attract international attention to China and highlight the existence of China to the whole world. Jin Canrong told the times weekly reporter.

The concept of "soft power" was put forward by Joseph Nye, a professor at Harvard University in the early 1990s. In short, the reason why "soft power" is important is that it relies on its own "attractiveness", so that it is more durable and stable than "hard power", and is more in line with the theme of peace, development and cooperation in the post Cold War era.

Therefore, Jin Canrong believes that in the new historical period of globalization and the interdependence of nations, soft power has a significant impact on the overall development of a country and the promotion of its international status. He said: "cultural soft power and economic hard power, like diplomacy, are two wheels of a car and two wings of a bird. Especially for China, a rising emerging power, the importance of soft power is self-evident.

According to Jin Canrong, China's application of diplomatic soft power began relatively late. In 1990s, it was aware of the application of soft power in foreign exchange. In the middle of 90s, the all-round diplomacy strategy of "big country is the key, the periphery is the most important, developing countries are the foundation, and multilateral diplomacy is the stage".

"For example, the establishment of Confucius institutes is a prominent function of building soft power." Jin Canrong said that from the middle of the first 10 years of twenty-first Century, China began to focus on building its own soft power as a new diplomatic task and new content, and placed it in an indispensable position.

Jin Canrong revealed that the guiding ideology of China's diplomatic orientation this year is to make full use of home diplomacy.

There is no doubt that China has handled many bilateral issues skillfully through hosting APEC. At the same time, in the process of hosting, China has brought the host's influence to the extreme and achieved notable results, such as signing the Beijing declaration against corruption, APEC blueprint for interoperability, and building a partnership for the future Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, the 25th anniversary statement of APEC. "If someone is not in your country, you may not take your advice." Jin Canrong believes that the APEC conference can be regarded as a successful force in the leading thought of home diplomacy.

It can be said that the summit is the highest standard event since the hosting of the Olympic Games in 2008. Jin Canrong believes that such a high standard of hosting APEC also fully reflects China's ability to realize its diplomatic strategy.

The "new suit" becomes a good carrier. One chooses the ancient song from the material.
