Clothing is a unique achievement of human labor, not only the crystallization of material civilization, but also the connotation of spiritual civilization. Human society has been marching slowly from ignorance and barbarism to civilization for hundreds of thousands of years. After bidding farewell to apes, our ancestors criticized skins and leaves, wandered in the wind and rain for countless years, and finally struggled to enter the threshold of civilized times, learned to shelter from the wind and rain, and created material civilization. However, pursuing beauty is human nature. Clothing people, like gold to Buddha, not only covers the body and warms the body, but also beautifies it. Almost from the day when clothing originated, people deposited their own life customs, aesthetic tastes, color hobbies, as well as various cultural mentality and religious concepts in clothing, and constructed the connotation of clothing culture and spiritual civilization.

From the initial "clothing" shape to the late Qing Dynasty, although the specific content of China's clothing changed with the historical evolution of the dynasty and the infiltration of minority cultures, the overall form showed the characteristics of generosity, far from showing the human body. Some insightful western fashion masters have pointed out that China's traditional clothing obviously shows the spirit of "meekness". In other words, it is a lack of personality. From the perspective of China culture, it was almost impossible to produce such a tie with distinctive personality, especially a masculine color, in China at that time. From a cultural point of view, ties can only be introduced from foreign countries.

Whether in the East or in the West, the cultural history view of clothing always clearly embodies the characteristics of the times and nationalities, and always fully permeates the main characteristics of culture. Only when a nation psychologically begins to think against the old tradition, the external cultural level, including clothing, will also change its appearance, thus clearly reflecting new cultural concepts.

In modern China, imperialist powers opened the door to China, and many people of insight went abroad to seek the road of national development. When they returned to China, they also brought back western culture. Since then, with the Revolution of 1911, the New Culture Movement and the May 4th Movement, China people's political, ideological and cultural concepts have also changed, and they have begun to challenge the tradition in terms of clothing, and there have been suits and ties, gifts, hats, ties, short skirts and so on. However, due to the limitations of the times, economic poverty and deep-rooted traditional culture, China's suits and China's ties have been struggling. Under the influence of western culture, China people accepted the Chinese tunic suit. This kind of clothing has the characteristics of modern western men's wear. The tie with distinctive personality is omitted, which embodies the concept of traditional dress in China. The four pockets of clothing symbolize "four dimensions of the country", five buttons represent "separation of five powers" and three buttons on the sleeve represent "Three People's Principles". Compared with a suit and tie, the Zhongshan suit reveals the subtle, dignified and elegant side of China people, showing a closed and conservative side.
