From the "old coarse cloth" all the way to "colorful" - from the change of clothing to see the republic 60 years of footprints from the colorful, individuality demonstrated the current upstream, looking back that had gone through the "blue ocean" "military uniform green" , Like a wide historical picture scroll. Garment, as a group memory, is a symbolic phenomenon. However, in the 60 years since the founding of New China in non-text form, people's lives have undergone tremendous changes with acceleration. From material to aesthetic: the value of clothing conversion In the early days of New China, and even before the reform and opening up, whether it be urban or rural streets, people's wear gives the impression of monotonous black, white and gray. Nowadays, it is no surprise that not only young people, but also old people in their 70s and 80s wear colorful clothes. At the foot of the Hero Hill in Jinan City, the reporter met several elderly people who are enjoying the shade. Although these old people are both seventy and eighty years old, they wear bright blue, purple and small floral shirts and dark blue skirts. "When we were young, we had no skirts at all, weaving clothes with our own old coarse cloth, and the clothes we wore in summer were not cool at all." One old man who had done tree-planting work in the Bureau of Gardens of Jinan City said that at that time he Spinning and weaving fabric used to make clothes, but also hand rubbing hemp rope, satisfied that the soles do cloth shoes. "What style of clothes, pull the staple cloth nailed on the two buttons on the body." Hou Ying-tang, a resident of Jinan Shun Yu district, is 64 years old. Before the age of eighteen, she said, she had worn her old coarse cloth. "I made my own cloth, soaked it in water, and dabbed it with indigo powder, light blue tops and dark blue pants, all year long. Until the age of 18 as a barefoot doctor, only to have a blue printed pants, a pink shirt, the baby had no choice, usually reluctant to wear. "60s of last century, from wearing a hair style to lifestyle, China by the Soviet Union great influence. "At that time, some fashionable women began to wear pleated skirts, but a very small number of most men wear tunic when we eat, very few people think about to wear good-looking." Jinan City Garden Bureau of the retired elderly Say. In the early stage of reform and opening up, apparel design entered into people's lives. Apparel was transformed from tailor's one-piece production or small workshop into garment factory mass production. The fabrics were also converted from coarse cotton to chemical fiber, but the style was relatively monotonous. Shandong University of Arts and Crafts Professor Lv Xuehai said that in the early 1980s, China put garment education into higher education, and some art circles began to intervene in fashion design education. They thoroughly infiltrated the idea into the colors, shapes and styles of clothing. With the diversified pursuit of clothing, clothing is not only artistic, but also gradually with scientific and technological content. Subsequently, the manufacturers applied the new technology to the garment production, the art and science, people also give clothing more emotional appeal. Nowadays, apparel has risen from simple goods of value to people's pursuit of aesthetic symbols, and the pace of popularization has been getting faster and faster. From conservative simplicity to the opening up of diversified reforms and opening up, apparel has undergone tremendous changes. The style changes from single to multiple, and the color tends to be gorgeous from monotonous. The hidden behind is the tremendous social and economic development and the diverse changes in people's concept. Lv Xuehai said: Prior to the "Cultural Revolution", the material shortage, clothes only played its most instinctive role, only with the value of things. The restriction of the social environment, the lack of innovation in technology, the low material level and other factors determine the monotonous unification of people's dress. "Whether it is tunic, military casual wear, or tooling, people have to wear, not unconventional." "More and more personality, more and more diverse, more and more beautiful," which became China's reform and opening up 30 years of distinctive and powerful apparel changes Portrayal It is understood that from the early days after the founding of New China until the reform and opening up, the conservative ideological concepts have always affected the mass of people's dress. "In the new three years, the old three years, the seams make up another three years," people are totally unwilling to wear new clothes under the influence of such concepts. They even have to wash their new clothes for wear or wear out again, or they have not been damaged Put some clothes on the patch. "Before the 1970s, people were tucked in and kept very conservative.Aloe the woman can only do some articles on the collar, or turn the shirt collar inside the shirt out, or do a little 'fold' Seeking different. Now the girls wearing a harness, Lu Na Zhuang, low waist pants, and some even underwear Waichuan. Walk in the city on the street, looking ahead, all kinds, all highlight the flying personality, jumped "Lv Xuehai said that the so-called" beauty "was originally comfortable, graceful and concise. Nowadays people's concepts have been completely subverted. With their visual impact, fashion and uniqueness, they are beautiful. Due to the collision of Chinese and Western cultures, popular clothing is now almost a combination of "strange" and "beautiful." Now the clothing, not just items, but also a cultural product, the diversification of clothing reflects the people's pursuit of fashion, new and changing psychology. Traditional, national: "Rise and Fall" Xiao Ru who works in a unit in the Central District of Ji'nan bought a cheongsam at Quancheng Road for 197 yuan. The red base with pink leaves printed on the pink base material revealed in fashion Classical temperament The owner of a cheongsam booth in New World Mall told reporters that the cheongsam is very fashionable nowadays. There are a lot of girls to buy, can wear at home, work can wear. Today, some people in their 50s still favor tunic, some elderly people like to wear Tang suit. Despite the changing times, people's dress has undergone great changes. However, some of the symbols that represent the Chinese nation are inherited with tenacious vitality. Recalling the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Miss etiquette dress is a combination of Chinese-style cheongsam and Western clothing style, very eye-catching throughout the Olympic Games. Today, the girl wearing a cheongsam is still an unforgettable scenery in the city, a number of major events Miss Yingbin, etiquette Miss costume even cheongsam uniform trend. The traditional Tang suit of our country is equally loved by the people. Not only elderly people and children wear in the streets during the New Year, but at the 9th APEC Informal Leadership Meeting in 2001, China, as the host country's leader to the participating countries, Donated a costume. Lv Xuehai said: "The Tang suit can reflect the Chinese culture and national characteristics, which is also an indication of the enhanced self-confidence of our nation." On the traditional Chinese dress cheongsam, Tang suit, tunic, as well as the characteristics of ethnic minority costumes changes, Lv Xuehai said that overall , These still retain the traditional clothing presents a "cycle of rising" trend. At present, the higher education classroom is studying how to extract these traditional elements, combining modern techniques and techniques, and applying them to modern clothing design.
