Dress-changing fully reflects Zhang Ailing's creative mentality at this time, and the national image outlined in her works is vivid and appropriate. Although it is called "Changing Clothes", it is actually about the changes, life and psychology of China people under changing clothes.

In her article, she wrote that although men in China live a more leisurely life than women, they are too limited in clothing. Based on this, Zhang Ailing is glad that she is a woman and was born with the right to wear red and green. Under the nearly 300-year Manchu rule in ancient China, women basically lost the possibility of pursuing fashion.

Clothes should be uniform, colors should not be too bright, and there are strict rules on dress. Different identities determine different clothing combinations. At this time, if you look at the clothes of people walking in the street carefully, you can probably guess each other's identity. From the Qianlong period of Kangxi to the end of Qing Dynasty, women's fashion remained basically unchanged.

Wearing a gown and trousers, I feel dignified and serious, and my good figure is hidden in a wide gown. The neckline of the upper coat is very low. There is often a big coat outside and a small coat inside the middle coat. This little coat won't take off even if you go to bed. The color is naturally pink or pink, secretly revealing a delicate and charming.

Generally dare not violate the rules. Even if I can't help loving beauty, I can only show my innermost clothes when no outsiders see it. In this way, although all the coats have Phnom Penh embroidery, the special feeling of women has long since disappeared. In ancient times, women's trousers were mostly black when they went out, and red and similar colors could only be seen during festivals or happy events.

There are also strict regulations on the degree of skirt swing when a woman walks: well-educated ladies walk in tandem, and pleated skirts only swing slightly from side to side when she walks. For Xi Niang, this rule is the most stringent. There is a ribbon hanging from the waist of the red skirt, but a bell is tied at the end of the ribbon. You shouldn't make a lot of noise when you walk. If it rings.

It can only be a faint jingle, much like a wind chime hanging in front of the window, swaying gently with the breeze. From the revolutionary era in the late Qing Dynasty to the national period, women's clothing has changed to a great extent. The first point is that the decoration on the clothes begins to decrease, the second point is that the coat gradually narrows from loose to narrow, and finally it is very close to the vest with a base on it.

Speaking of this vest, it can be said that it is beautifully designed. Even if the clothes are tight outside and have a backing inside, they are not afraid of being too exposed, but at the same time, the curves of the body have been displayed to a certain extent, which is no longer the kind of style that is too broad to tell whether it is a man or a woman. The outermost long coat extends all the way to the knee, and the situation below is two narrow trouser legs.

At first glance, it can give people a sense of pity. This pity is not sympathy, but a desire for protection after suddenly feeling cute. Of course, this protection naturally refers to men. Behind the dressing must be the maturity of thought. In the Republic of China, China people, especially ordinary people, began to make great strides in their ideals.
