Ancient and modern problems
Today's clothing in our country did not come into being out of thin air, it inherited the ancient clothing, and it is also an inheritance for us to wear the ancient clothing now. However, this inheritance is not immutable. I understand that the Hanfu, Tangzhuang, Qipao and so on we produce today are all based on ancient costumes, but they have been improved. For example, at the APEC meeting, the Tang costumes worn by heads of state were not exactly the same as those of the Tang Dynasty, but after improvement, it caused a wave of Tang costumes all over the country for a time. Another example is China clothing. I think it can be produced in the future, but its sleeves are too wide to hold a child. I suggest that it can also be improved to keep the basic things of Hanfu and meet some requirements today. Otherwise, it will not be widely used.
In short, according to the artistic characteristics of ancient costumes, we should explore the artistic treasure house of ancient costumes and find the window of today's costumes.
The relationship between Han nationality and ethnic minorities
To study costume aesthetics, we should not only pay attention to the costumes of the Han nationality, but also pay attention to the costumes of more than 50 ethnic minorities. The costumes of the Han nationality and ethnic minorities are rich and colorful, so we should also strengthen the study of ethnology and draw nutrition for our clothing aesthetics.
Chinese and foreign issues
Of course, there are many excellent places in China's clothing, but I don't think we should stand still and learn the essence of foreign clothing. In fact, in ancient times, China's clothing absorbed the good things of foreign clothing, such as the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty also absorbed many foreign good things. Completely westernized, it is wrong to wear only a suit. In fact, in China, some foreign companies only let them wear suits, while casual clothes such as jackets are not allowed in China, which should be wrong in China.
Of course, it is impossible to wear only your own clothes and blindly exclude foreign clothes. I think Chinese-foreign relations are very important.
National and global issues
As far as clothing is concerned, our clothing must be national first. China's clothing is national, while other foreign nationalities do not have such clothing.
At present, the exchanges between various ethnic groups and countries are also very extensive, so we should take into account some fashions of the world's clothing, such as popular colors, and we just have to take care of them, otherwise we will be particularly opposed.
If you don't care about popular colors, sometimes it's ok at home, but you will encounter problems when exporting. After China's entry into WTO, we should also strive to make our clothes reach the advanced level in the world and learn from the advanced things in the world.
In the contradiction between nationality and the world, I think nationality is the main aspect of the contradiction. Speaking of cultural revival, I think it is necessary to advocate a little nationalism, that is, to pay more attention to everything about our nation.
The more national it is, the more cosmopolitan it is. What we should emphasize is to preserve the Excellence and essence of the nation. The same is true of clothes. We should inherit and retain its excellence and essence, and develop it. In this way, our clothes can occupy a place in the world.
Giving up nationality means giving up characteristics. For example, if we make a suit, it will be difficult to surpass famous brands in Italy, France and other western countries. But if you make Hanfu, Tang suit, Zhongshan suit and cheongsam, you can do it very well. Let our clothes go to the world, which will also contribute to the revival of our culture.
