Zhongshan Suit: The New Origin Of Modern Chinese Costumes

In 1920s, Mr. Sun Zhongshan took

Based on the traditional Chinese aesthetic concept and taking into account the specific functions of overseas Chinese, a new garment suitable for Chinese people is designed and produced.

Because of Mr. Sun Zhongshan's creation and taking the lead and advocating vigorously, "new clothing" was named "Zhongshan suit".

Since the three main needs of the Chinese traditional aesthetic spirit, social revolution and the needs of the times are successfully unified, the Chinese tunic suit is recognized and accepted by the general public.

The dress of any nation is a tradition.

The inheritance of imagery is also a manifestation of the spiritual connotation of traditional dress.

For the continuation and development of Chinese civilization, it has always been a major part of Chinese culture and an expression of the most innovative spirit and creativity of Chinese civilization.

Therefore, in the new historical period, how to further promote the inheritance, dissemination and innovation of traditional dress culture as a cultural sign has become a new topic of the times.

The formation and development of the structure are deeply influenced by traditional culture. The four pockets of its predecessor represent the four dimensions of the country. The five buttons of the front button symbolize the separation of five powers. The three cuffs of the cuffs represent the "three principles of the people". The upside down pockets of the upper pocket contain the idea that the Chinese revolution needs to rely on the intellectuals.

The most representative feature of aesthetic thinking.

The close collar and front buttons of the five buttons tie up the spirit of Chinese traditional culture, which is upright, firm and firm.

The Chinese tunic suit, which has undergone the process of "bringing in" and "digestion", has become a model of "making foreign things serve China", inheriting national culture, adapting to the trend of internationalization and the characteristics of the times.

Its modeling structure and modeling style are representative.

The change of style from tradition to modernity reflects the turn of dress culture in an era.

Since the founding ceremony and the National Day parade ceremony since the founding of new China, important international and domestic political activities, the Chinese tunic suit and its improved outfit are the first choice for national leaders to dress.

In March 22, 2014, President Xi Jinping was dressed.

The improved package was held in Amsterdam for the state banquet hosted by the king of Holland. This is the first time that Xi has dressed in Chinese style clothes to attend the western state banquet.

In October 20, 2015, President Xi Jinping again dressed in a Chinese tunic suit to attend the welcome dinner hosted by Queen Elizabeth S of Britain.

Practice has proved that it is of great significance to build up a sense of identity in the new era of Chinese civilization and enhance the cultural confidence of the Chinese nation through the activation of the traditional memory and the vitality of traditional Chinese clothing carriers in the blood of the Chinese people.

Only with cultural confidence can cultural innovation be achieved.

Taking the Chinese traditional spirit as the connotation, it integrates the modeling and technical means of the foreign dress, which has a strong reference for the development of Chinese clothing in the new era.

On the occasion of commemorating the 150th anniversary birthday of Mr. Sun Zhongshan, we will review the cultural connotation of the Chinese tunic suit and highlight the cultural confidence. We should also learn from Mr. Sun Zhongshan's spirit of constantly advocating and trying to give full play to the role of clothing as a symbol of cultural confidence.
