Reporter: since the beginning of reform and opening up, how have Chinese dressing habits gone through? How many key words can be used to summarize and describe?

Ceng Hui: the basic necessities of life are clothing, food and shelter. Clothing is a barometer of social civilization.

As the saying goes, "people depend on clothes, horses and saddles", with the development of history and social progress, the function of clothing has gradually evolved from the early cold and shame, into an image carrier of people's spirit, thus becoming an important aesthetic symbol of an era.

Since the reform and opening up, the evolution of Chinese dress culture is a vivid reflection of the times: flourishing and colorful.

Although there may be different trends or trends at different stages and periods, it is consistent with people's desire to use clothing to embody their mental state and express their aesthetic claims.

If you want to generalize this feature with keywords, I think it's metamorphosis and iteration.

The so-called metamorphosis and iteration means that like cicadas molting, new and refreshing, like tidal landscape, rise, fall, and circle.

In the 60s and 70s of last century, bell bottoms became a fashion in Europe and America.

At the end of the 70s, China entered a new era of reform, opening up and modernization.

People have more and more channels of cognition to the world. They have come into contact with all kinds of clothing culture through books, radio, film and television.

Bell bottoms are popular in China, with sunglasses, tights and so on.

Since 90s, reform and opening up has entered a new stage, with rapid economic growth and continuous cultural prosperity.

China's clothing culture, including the development of the manufacturing system, is well developed to meet people's dressing needs at different times and occasions.

The tide is fleeting and its style is ever-changing.

Reform and opening up is like opening doors and windows, enabling us to integrate with the world and synchronize.

People constantly change themselves through clothing, not only the appearance level, but also the aesthetic interest.

Reporter: People's vision is more and more open, and aesthetics is becoming more and more diverse. To dress, what is beauty and whether it is expensive? What kind of dress concept should we set up?

Ceng Hui: this question is very important.

To promote cultural development and prosperity, in the final analysis, it is necessary to enable the culture to effectively change and enhance the lifestyle and aesthetic taste of the Chinese people.

General secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in the nineteen major reports of the Communist Party of China: "socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the main contradiction of our society has been pformed into the contradiction between the growing needs of people's life and the development of imbalances."

What is a better life? It is not only superficial sensual pleasure, but also quality, aesthetics and pursuits.

The trend is fleeting and the style is ever-changing.

With the development of the times, the standards of beauty are also changing.

Taking clothing as an example, the standard of beauty is concretialized as material application, tailoring, type effect, color matching, etc.

In the era of material shortage, people buy clothes, consider more likely to be material quality, durable or not.

With spare money and rich life, more attention and attention have been paid to clothing styles and colors.

Everyone loves to dress well and dress well.

The emergence of out of print clothing and luxury brands reflects the pursuit of individuality and beauty.

This is understandable in itself, but it should not blindly follow the trend and become obsessed with it too much.

In fact, clothing is not isolated, but is matched with the tonality of the whole living space and lifestyle.

It is the best combination of human and clothing to complement each other.

Material and spiritual constitute the two dimensions of beautiful life, and should not be neglected.

Wearing a famous brand and living in a mansion are not necessarily happy. The key is to develop good habits and behaviors.

For clothing, expensive, complex and luxurious are not necessarily beautiful.

Choose the right one and wear confidence and wear the taste. That's where beauty lies.

Reporter: in recent years, on the international stage, Chinese traditional clothing elements can often be seen. What positive role can clothing play in enhancing cultural self-confidence and promoting Chinese culture going out?

Ceng Hui: there is a saying that "cultural self-confidence, clothing first."

It's a natural expression to change yourself from clothing.

With a new tie, people may consider changing their shirts, changing their jackets, and changing them.

Changing glasses, changing hairstyles, even changing curtains, changing furniture and changing rooms.

The reason why "clothing first" is that clothing is a fast reaction system, which can be changed and popular in a short time.

People catch fashion and pursue actively, and may gradually give birth to new aesthetic trend.

adopt

It is of direct and important significance to enhance cultural confidence.

Chinese culture, which has a long history and extensive knowledge, is an important part of world culture. It must also contribute to Chinese culture and wisdom in the world culture.

Chinese culture needs to go out and the world needs Chinese culture.

This kind of "going out" is not to be sent out, but to sell and let the world consume Chinese contemporary creative culture.

With the innovation of ideas and methods, the Chinese culture will be better able to move towards the world.

Reflected in the aspect of clothing, oriental aesthetics has attracted much attention in recent years.

Many foreign fashion designers began to take the initiative to learn from the elements of traditional Chinese clothing to create beauty.

Chinese traditional clothing has become more fashionable through the pformation of modern design.

At present, the traditional culture resources and folk design wisdom that oriental aesthetics can excavate is still very rich.

The creation and creation of Oriental design is a global cultural expression based on the common aspiration of human beings to pursue a better life.

It is not limited to one style, it is the pursuit of civilized exchanges and mutual learning.

In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, we have seen the whole picture. From the drip of clothing, we can see the bright sunshine, see the great world, the world is diverse, and see the economic development, civilization and progress.

Future, hope China

The industry will carry forward the past, open up new ideas, and show the unique charm of Chinese culture to the world.
