What kind of clothes can represent China's national costume? What are the characteristics of China's national costume?

In view of these public concerns, Donghua University, which has the strength of domestic first-class fashion research, recently organized experts to carry out related seminars, and made a deep interpretation of national costume from many dimensions such as history, design, culture and so on, calling for timely promotion of national service innovation.

Bao Ming Xin

He is a professor and director of the art design department of the clothing College of Donghua University. He has been engaged in the research on the history of clothing for a long time.

Professor Bao gave his answer to the question of "what is the national costume": "clothing is a very important part of the national system.

National costume is a kind of institutionalized dress, which shows the specific identity of a nation, a nation and an individual from the perspective of clothing.

In Bao Mingxin's view, China's state can not be fully represented by taking any existing form. "China's national costume is not a garment, but a series of clothing. It must have Chinese characteristics, use Chinese elements to mark the Chinese nationality and identity, and dress according to different venues, time and objects."

Professor Bao said frankly that the implementation of national costume is a matter of need to face up to and solve the problems of ethnic diversity and individual differences in China's multi-ethnic country.

Professor Liu Xiaogang is the first master and doctor of costume design in China.

"National costume is a symbolic dress, and its design is a difficult problem."

The former "top ten designers in the country" also said.

In Liu Xiaogang's view, the national costume is different from the industry uniform. Its design goal is to make the design result to the greatest extent that a country and its people are widely accepted and generally embraced.

This is the prerequisite for the popularization and application of national costume.

Therefore, the design process should be based on a wide range of public opinion, and make certain provisions on the elements that constitute the national costume, so as to facilitate people to identify and evaluate the national costume.

"The design of the proposed national costume can be promoted by three principles," Liu Xiaogang said.

The design elements appearing in national costume should be able to withstand textual research, from traditional clothing and national culture.

Refine

We should respect the multi-ethnic cultural customs and satisfy the universal aesthetic of universal nationality.

The two is the positioning design style.

The design style of national costume should be based on respecting traditional culture and embodying national aesthetics, using design elements that imply certain meanings, and integrating into the advantages of international clothing with modern meaning.

The three is the integration of division and field.

National costume should be a series of ceremonial costumes that distinguish the occasion.

From the point of view of popularization, it can be divided into two editions: the advanced edition and the ordinary edition, with the stipulation design element use quantity distinction.

Liu Xiaogang also suggested that the national costume is a whole series of clothing concept. In order to make the national costume adapt to different etiquette occasions and the needs of climate change, it can not only reflect the standardization of the use of national clothes, but also enhance the clothing of national costume.

Set effect

At the beginning of the design, in addition to considering the difference between men and women, we could also try to establish a systematic style library of national costume and form a series of national costume system.

"People are eager to talk about national costume, but the phenomenon is not about clothing, but what is more is the return of the public's respect for Chinese dress etiquette and the expectation of the inheritance and development of Chinese clothing culture".

Bian Xiangyang, a professor at the clothing Institute of Donghua University, is mainly concerned with the teaching and research of fashion culture and fashion industry. He was invited to lecture on the topics of fashion and fashion in twentieth Century at the invitation of Harvard University.

Bian Xiangyang believes that more emphasis should be placed on the analysis and research from the perspective of culture and public psychology.

Bian Xiangyang also stressed that clothing itself is a spontaneous and individualized behavior of the public and has a strong custom color. Therefore, China's national costume must conform to the customs and consider the acceptability of the Chinese people, which is in line with the psychological state of the Chinese people.
