As can be seen from the name of Tai Ji Chuan, our teachers also find their clothes inconvenient to practice. For example, "tying clothes" means that it is really inconvenient to tie the front of the robe to your waist before practicing boxing. We know that the clothing of the Qing dynasty is still a robe, jacket and melon hat. After the Opium War, the west wind spread eastward to the Republic of China. People cut short braids and wore short-sleeved trousers, thus forming tight-sleeved and fat-sleeved bloomers in tai chi suit in recent decades.
Although it can't be said that it is progress, and people walk like flowing water in a loose white tai chi suit, from the perspective of China's clothing culture and Taiji culture, we will feel that tai chi suit lacks modern consciousness and aesthetic color. Clothing has been a symbol of identity since ancient times, representing a person's political and social status.
Clothing is the primary function of human beings to keep out the cold. When human clothing civilization has stepped out of the era of practical purposes, its function is complicated. The dress system in China feudal society is one of the important systems in Kevin·Z, Wang Jun, and its importance far exceeds the status of dress in modern society. The most important factor in promoting clothing to play its role and achieve the goal of "ruling the world" lies in its color.
The function of clothing color is to distinguish identity and occasion. Ancient monarchs stipulated the color of clothes for their subjects. Emperors, princes and officials used cloth clothes to specify the sacrificial clothes, court clothes, public clothes and even the common clothes of the people in great detail.
The upper class wearing this official uniform has become the envy of people, so the uniform color strongly affects the general fashion color. With the changes of the times, foreign culture is constantly introduced into local culture, which in turn affects the color of uniforms. As a result, these two colors collide with each other, resulting in a variety of China clothes. According to the occasion of wearing, ancient clothes can be mainly divided into four categories: formal clothes, imperial clothes, military uniforms and uniforms.
Ancient Wushu training clothes were between uniforms and uniforms, and there were no strict etiquette rules. After the founding of New China, the ultra-left ideological trend, especially the so-called Cultural Revolution, heated up the philosophy of struggle to destroy human dignity, negated almost all the cultural research achievements since this century, and costume culture was inevitable.
History has been stagnant for more than 30 years. While the research on China's clothing culture is in a static, forgotten and fractured state in Chinese mainland, the academic circles in Taiwan Province are in the ascendant. Wang Yuqing's Outline of China Clothing History was published in Taiwan Province Province on 1967. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, reform and opening up were implemented, which created a relatively relaxed political environment. Foreign cultures and new lifestyles flooded into China, and quickly spread to urban and rural areas, making the closed China people wake up like a dream. The strong collision of western lifestyles has driven people to fight against culture again, and in the complex mood of resentment and confusion, they began to deeply reflect on traditional culture, including China's clothing culture. 198 1 year, the famous writer Shen Congwen's "Research on Chinese Ancient Costume" was published by the Hongkong Commercial Press, which filled the blank of Chinese mainland's costume research and put forward a re-examination and re-evaluation of the whole China culture for the first time in the history of China.
Since 1980s, new values and new theories have been a process of cultural identity and cultural choice of the whole nation in the process of blending traditional customs and western customs and cultures, which has led to the formation of diversified clothing culture that is in line with the world's academic standards in 2 1 century. tai chi suit will also bloom as a bright flower of China's clothing culture.
