China culture includes not only traditional culture with a long history, but also modern culture with great changes in China cultural tradition. China traditional culture is an important part of China culture and a rich historical heritage handed down by our ancestors. It not only records the history of the occurrence and evolution of the Chinese nation and its culture, but also permeates everyone's blood as a way of thinking, values and customs handed down from generation to generation, which restricts the behavior and way of thinking of China people today.
First, the development of traditional culture in China
The origin of traditional culture in China can be traced back to 5,000 years ago? 7,000 years ago. According to the general tendency and essential characteristics of culture, it can be roughly divided into the following three stages:
(1) from? A hundred schools of thought contend? Arrive? Respect Confucianism alone?
From the pre-Qin to the early Han Dynasty, the traditional culture of China was laid and shaped, and the elements and essential features of China culture basically took shape during this period. The Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years, and the development of China culture has gone through a long time. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are turbulent times full of wars. Due to the separation of princes and the rise of heroes, a relatively relaxed cultural environment has been created, which has led to the grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought contending in the ideological and cultural fields. The academic thoughts of different schools have developed traditional culture from different angles, which makes our ancient culture not only span the vast areas of north and south, but also have richer and more diverse contents, showing the pluralistic characteristics of Chinese culture.
Judging from the historical development and the evolution of traditional culture, Qin and Han dynasties are an era of integration. From the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, the blending of various Chinese cultures in the Central Plains was completed, and the culture of the Chinese nation was formed. The remarkable feature of this period is that the basic elements and framework of China traditional culture were basically formed, and they transformed and merged with each other, thus creating the overall characteristics of China traditional culture.
(2) Buddhism spread to the east, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism coexisted, and Neo-Confucianism was formed.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the native culture of the Chinese nation was challenged by foreign culture Buddhism for the first time. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the society was in violent turmoil, and wars, disasters and deaths came at any time. What goes around comes around three times? It took root and gained the upper hand. It is in this historical torrent of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism and the multi-directional evolution of various ideas that China's traditional culture shows its inclusiveness and vitality. Buddhism has become increasingly nationalized and China-oriented, which has become an important part of China culture and greatly enriched the traditional culture of China.
(3) The rejection, adaptation and integration of China traditional culture to other cultures.
After the Song Dynasty, on the one hand, the cultures of all ethnic groups in China were further integrated. On the other hand, since the middle of Ming Dynasty, the feudal culture of China has become increasingly prominent because the capitalist relations of production began to sprout in the capitalist body. After the Opium War, scholars appreciated the advantages of western scientific and technological development, especially? May 4th Movement? Later, people clearly realized that the old traditional ideological and cultural system could not meet the needs of social development, and China's traditional culture needed to be transformed.
Second, the underestimation and revival of China traditional culture.
From a cultural perspective, the process of modern culture in China is a process in which China culture responds to the impact of western culture, tries to adjust itself to western culture and establishes a new culture in China. With the rapid development of China's economy, there is even a strong revival trend of China's traditional culture in China, and people begin to re-examine China's traditional culture, especially the Confucian tradition. This important cultural phenomenon is the inevitable result of the social and historical development of China since the 20th century.
(A) the gushing of the anti-traditional torrent
From 19 19 to the end of 1980, the mainstream ideology and culture in China was radical and comprehensive anti-traditionalism, with the Confucian tradition bearing the brunt, which was the first stage of the evolution of Confucian tradition in contemporary China.
Since the May 4th Movement 19 17 advocated vernacular Chinese? It started the process of completely denying Confucian culture, and the denial of tradition entered the cultural level from the political level. Leadership? May 4th Movement? According to some intellectuals, the problems faced by China cannot be solved by western learning and western politics, and the old culture of China must be completely replaced by modern western culture. What is the highest value in the May 4th Movement? Science? And then what? Democracy? The concept of. They borrowed the western enlightenment to save China's ideological weapon.
Until? ""? When you're done, use? Reform and opening up? With the implementation of the ""policy, the social development of China has entered a new era. Ideologically, the past practice of denying all human cultural traditions has changed. But this society has not changed people's negative attitude towards China's traditional culture. In a sense, it has just returned? May 4th Movement? The beginning of the period. Embracing western culture and condemning China's traditional culture, especially Confucianism, became a powerful ideological trend at that time.
(B) a new understanding of tradition
After 1990s, radical anti-traditionalism gradually ebbed, and the traditional culture with Confucianism as the core was affirmed by China society and even the world, and the traditional culture of China began to revive. With the development of China's economy and the improvement of its comprehensive national strength, China people's national self-confidence began to recover, and the call for rebuilding the spiritual tradition of the Chinese nation and reviving Confucianism was gradually widely recognized.
First of all, Confucian culture has never been eradicated in China society, and it still occupies a place in the deep psychological structure and daily life of China people. The basic values of Confucianism have been playing a role in traditional society? People's hearts and customs? The role of. The historical process shows that after destroying the traditional value system, people have not established a universally accepted value system that can be used as an alternative value system to reshape the spiritual world of China people, thus causing serious value loss, spiritual loss and belief crisis. However, no matter a person or a nation, they must have their own value system. After an unsuccessful attempt, people turned their attention to their traditional culture. It has become the consensus of China intellectuals to get rid of the value crisis by deeply excavating the spiritual resources in traditional culture and rebuild the cultural value system of the Chinese nation through creative transformation and innovation.
Secondly, with the process of globalization, the identity of national culture becomes more and more important. China people can gradually get rid of radical anti-traditionalism, and tend to affirm China traditional culture with Confucian culture as the core again. The problem of cultural and value identification under the background of globalization is an important reason. Since 1990s, with the development of globalization, the problem of cultural identity has become increasingly prominent. With the increasing convenience and frequency of human communication, is it difficult to contact different cultures? Who am I? The more prominent the problem is. People are more and more aware that only the tradition rooted in their own national culture can truly occupy a place in the global pluralistic pattern. Can no nation, even anyone, really rely on pure foreign culture to build? Self? Only by deepening one's own traditional culture can we achieve it? Self? The establishment of. At present, the rise of China has become a reality, and it will make great contributions to the world economically and politically.
Finally, there is another reason why the fate of China's traditional culture can't be ignored, that is, a group of intellectuals who truly understand and agree with Confucian values, and at the same time appreciate and accept the excellent western culture, spare no effort to rebuild the Confucian tradition. This wave has developed strongly so far and will undoubtedly have a far-reaching impact.
Third, the problems faced by China traditional culture.
The construction and development of contemporary culture in China can't simply rely on a certain cultural form, but realize the mutual exclusion, mutual supplement, mutual blending, mutual collision and comprehensive innovation of different cultural forms under the new practice. The different cultural forms created by different nationalities in the historical development have mutually exclusive, conflicting and opposing aspects, as well as mutually integrated, complementary and unified aspects. Can't we? Hide in the corner? But it should be viewed from a higher level. Therefore, no matter what kind of culture, China will face the problem of modern transformation, or how to transform to China.
As far as the traditional culture of China is concerned, it originated from the ancient society of China, reflected the economy and politics of the ancient society, and solved the problems and tasks of that era. If we want to play its positive role today, we must realize its creative transformation and make it adapt to modern society in ideological content and expression form.
Four. conclusion
Therefore, to carry forward Chinese culture and build the spiritual home of Chinese civilization requires us to abandon any cultural prejudice, treat all kinds of excellent cultures created by human beings in their historical process fairly and objectively, correctly understand the relationship between different cultural traditions, and truly realize the dialogue and integration between Chinese and Western cultures, which is an important path to develop and prosper contemporary China culture.

2,500-word Political Papers on Traditional Culture Analysis of China's Traditional Costume Culture
China's traditional culture is a huge cultural system. How to choose, inherit and combine it with fashion design, so as to keep the tradition and conform to modern people's life taste, needs constant trial and repeated verification. There are many levels that can be studied and methods that can be used on this topic. We will discuss how to combine modern fashion design with China traditional culture from the perspective of China elements.
Keywords traditional culture China element clothing design
Since ancient times, clothing, as the external representation of human image, has integrated clothing culture with rich perceptual and rational connotations with its stylized, personalized and nationalized artistic charm. This cultural phenomenon accompanied by human existence is vividly reflected by many factors such as nationality, religion, belief, folklore, art, society, economy and even ideology through clothing language.
1. How to design a garment product with China traditional characteristics?
How to carry out innovation and fashion transformation on the basis of traditional design is a problem that fashion designers often think about. Thinking about this problem is not only the inheritance and protection of China's traditional culture, but also the challenge that China's clothing products must face to realize their own characteristics and go global.
(A) the application of China traditional dress in modern dress design.
The outstanding point of China's fashion design is the Chinese flavor that can be seen at a glance. China's long history provides rich materials for modern design. In addition to the common stand-neck, side slit, buttons and piping, there are many China elements such as patterns and color matching, especially the style concept, which can be applied in modern design, which requires designers to have a good cultural literacy of China costumes and make continuous efforts to explore.
China traditional culture has great vitality, because its cultural China element is the perfect combination of form and connotation. For example, the items worn and used by the royal family in past dynasties are all cultural China elements that convey the identity of the royal family, even though their forms and uses are different; And folk paper-cut embroidery reveals the meaning of praying for good luck and peace everywhere. We must learn to inherit critically. Not all cultural China elements left over from history are suitable for modern fashion design. The so-called inappropriate, but also more reflected in the connotation. So we need to know which China elements can represent the traditional culture of China, and what kind of cultural information these China elements convey. This puts higher demands on our fashion designers, not only to find China elements that can represent China's traditional culture, but also to skillfully apply these elements to modern design, which is another problem we need to explore. For a long time, we have always emphasized that modern fashion design should be integrated with traditional culture? Combination? Since it is a combination, it must not be a simple cut-and-paste relationship, and the simple combination form is not convincing. In fact, inheriting traditional culture covers a wide range, including not only form and connotation, but also the transformation mechanism of form and connotation in traditional culture. This is a grasp of the laws of traditional culture. Only by mastering its laws and understanding how China elements in traditional culture convey their meanings through combination and change can traditional cultural elements undergo reasonable and rich changes in modern design.
(2) There are various forms of artistic expression.
Due to the vast territory and different terrain, climate and cultural conditions, China's national culture and art have presented different forms in different places, forming different local characteristics and cultural atmosphere. Mongolian moire patterns are very common in Mongolian costumes and yurts. Manchu cheongsam, Guangxi batik, Tibetan one-shoulder coat, blue and white porcelain and paper-cut patterns, buckles, embroidered collars and side slits are all unique arts formed by various ethnic groups in the historical development process. The artistic expressions and technological processes of these different nationalities are the treasures of our nation and the source of inspiration for our clothing design.
(3) The local application of China traditional costume in modern costume design.
How is the local treatment? Make the finishing point? The highlight of its efficacy. Used properly, the taste is intriguing, and the magic is seen in the plain. Adding a little warm color to a large area of cool colors can reflect the tension of the use of bright spots. And this bright spot tension needs the concentrated foundation of culture to give it eternity. In the design of Chinese clothes, it is usually common to express the designer's style by effectively reproducing the factors such as stand collar, placket and buckle. The application of these points is the most convincing and conquering, which makes people understand the essence of China's traditional clothing at a glance, and can better express the elegant and subtle characteristics of women through the body-based fit tailoring in the western clothing system, which plays a role in the design process.
Second, the pictures of traditional costumes.
China's elements spread in many ways. In international communication, we should respect each other and live in peace without losing our national style. During many state visits with his wife, he wore Hanfu, which showed the cultural connotation and elegance of a big country. It has attracted the attention and appreciation of the media in various countries. Integrating into the world, China element wins respect. The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, which attracted worldwide attention, is the best example: the five-star and five-ring pictographic Chinese knot, and the Fuwa with the fish pattern on its face? Harmony between man and nature? Concept, the Olympic torch auspicious cloud originated from the moire pattern in the Han and Tang Dynasties: origin and harmony, which is the cultural implication of the auspicious cloud pattern. From the performance at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, guests and friends from all over the world were brought into passion and surprise, and felt the unique welcoming ceremony of China with an ancient history. The opening ceremony fully expressed China people's love for the Olympic Movement through the perfect combination of China traditional cultural elements such as scrolls, movable type printing, Peking Opera and other world elements such as the Olympic rings, the global torch relay and the pictures of athletes' footprints. China elements shine everywhere, showing the connotation of Chinese civilization that has lasted for 5,000 years in the world.
Third, the internationalization of traditional costumes.
With the development of today's society, people's demand for their own surrounding environment can not only meet the use requirements, but also pay more attention to the demand for spiritual functions such as environmental atmosphere, cultural connotation and artistic quality. The emergence, development and transformation of different artistic styles and schools of fashion design are the continuation and development of the historical context of fashion art. China's fashion art is an important part of China's profound humanistic tradition, which has experienced thousands of years or even longer development and achieved remarkable achievements. Whether it is simple Qin and Han costumes, exquisite Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties costumes, or rich Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties costumes, elegant Song costumes and luxurious Ming and Qing costumes, they all have their unique charm.
China's traditional costumes have a profound cultural background. It can be simply described by stylized wide-body style, flat-cut structure, decorative clothing materials, exquisite clothing accessories and implicit social aesthetics. In terms of decoration, because the traditional clothing is cut in a straight plane and presents a two-dimensional effect, the decoration is also based on the two-dimensional effect, emphasizing the plane decoration. Decorative means are traditional Chinese techniques such as embedding, embedding, rolling, winding and embroidery. The clever use of these techniques makes Hanfu simple in shape, but colorful and beautiful in pattern. Japanese kimono and its accessories were initially mainly influenced by China's Tang Dynasty costumes. Korean costumes are also traditional Korean costumes that have evolved from ancient China to modern times. Elegant and tasteful, it is also one of the excellent traditional cultures in Korea. On the Oscar stage, the dresses worn by international movie star Gong Li have a strong China traditional style, so we say: National is the world, and the world is popular! ?
