A probe into the implication of Zhongshan suit
In the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), men in China combed their hair, dressed and put on their hats according to the Manchu style until the beginning of the 20th century. Although China has entered the journey of modern history, traditional costumes still maintain a certain stability, and traditional styles such as robes, mandarin jackets and melon seeds caps are still in use. Shortly after 1900, traditional costumes began to be influenced by foreign costumes, and some changes took place, but the basic style remained the same. It was not until 19 1 Xinhai Revolution that some fundamental changes occurred, which marked the complete collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the end of an era. The Revolution of 1911 not only brought about drastic changes in society, but also made the changes in clothing more rapid and obvious. Zhongshan suit was born in this change.
The origin of the Zhongshan suit is said to be that when Dr. Sun Yat-sen was the Grand Marshal of China Revolutionary Government in Guangzhou, he felt that the style of the suit was cumbersome and inconvenient to wear, and China's clothes also had shortcomings in practice. 1902, Sun Yat-sen went to Hanoi, Vietnam to organize the Zhong Xing Club, and accidentally entered the western-style clothes shop opened by Huang Longsheng, a Cantonese in Hanoi. In order to save foreign exchange and reflect China's national conditions, he instructed Huang Longsheng to design a beautiful, simple and practical Chinese dress. Huang designed and sewed clothes with reference to western European and Japanese clothing styles, combined with the "enterprise collar" tops and student clothes popular among overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia at that time. However, it has also been reported that the Zhongshan suit was originally transformed from the military uniform at that time. 19 19, when Dr. Sun Yat-sen was living in Shanghai, he once took an old military uniform to the famous Henry clothing store and asked the tailor to change it into "casual clothes". After putting on "casual clothes", it still looks like a military uniform. But in casual clothes, it is neither a "Tang suit" nor a "suit", so the clerk named it Zhongshan suit. Because of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's high reputation at home and abroad, this kind of clothing spread like wildfire and quickly spread all over the country. At that time, the tunic suit had a seam in the back, a belt in the middle of the back, nine buttons nailed to the front door and "fat cuffs" in the upper and lower pockets. Later, it gradually evolved into the current style: a closed figure-eight neckline with sleeves, 5 buttons in the center of the front front, and a seamless back. According to the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty in the Book of Changes, it is meaningful. For example, according to the four dimensions of the country (courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame), it is determined that the front of the coat has four pockets, according to the separation of five powers (administration, legislation, justice, examination and supervision) different from western countries, it is determined that the front has five buttons, and the cuffs are also in accordance with the Three People's Principles (nationality, civil rights and people's livelihood) The cuffs can be decorated with split nails, fake split nails or without split buttons. Open pocket, symmetrical left and right, covered with a button. The upper two small pockets are flat patch pocket with round bottom corners, and the middle of the pocket cover is an arc-shaped tip. The two big pockets below are tiger leather bags (hanging on the side 1.5-2cm). Pants have three pockets (two side pockets and a covered back pocket) for rolling pants. Obviously, the modelling of Zhongshan suit is based on the basic modelling and combined with China's traditional consciousness. The overall profile shoulders are waist-folded, balanced and symmetrical, and it is steady and generous to wear.
