What is the meaning and symbol of cheongsam?
The cultural connotation of cheongsam is not only a symbol of tradition, but also a symbol of women's liberation in China. Women's dresses in ancient China were basically conservative. After the Revolution of 1911, Shanghai set off a wave of feminist movement. At that time, Shanghai female students were young and fashionable, and they were pioneers in the dissemination and popularization of the cultural connotation of cheongsam. Even all walks of life, urban celebrities and fashion figures have followed the example of female students.
Cheongsam is the product of women's clothing after the liberation of China. With the climax of the May 4th Movement and the continuous innovation of cheongsam, cheongsam completely got rid of the old look of the past, changed the old look of women in China for a long time, fully displayed the beauty of women's body and curves, put women who had been suppressed by feudal times on the wave of fashion art, and put forward a kind of resistance to asceticism very clearly at the same time. The change of cultural connotation of cheongsam was established for women's liberation.
2. The cultural connotation of cheongsam is the world's interpretation of "Chinese style"
The cultural connotation of cheongsam is one of the world's interpretations of "Chinese style", and a cheongsam often contains many elements of Chinese style. In recent years, Chinese style has deeply influenced the international fashion industry. The cultural connotation of cheongsam has been favored by many big coffee designers. It boldly breaks through the original model of cheongsam, blends into the innovative spirit of the times, injects the blood of the times, gives youthful vitality, expresses brand-new feelings with brand-new ideas and shows the cultural connotation of cheongsam.
For example, at the closing ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, China, as the next host country, will perform a program. The China delegation sent 14 girls from China, dressed in improved short cheongsam with red background in Bai Mudan, to play China's music Jasmine with traditional national instruments such as pipa and erhu, which was full of "Chinese flavor" and blew "Chinese style" to the whole world. The unique charm of the cultural connotation of cheongsam makes the eyes of the whole world shine, marvel and envy.
3. The cultural connotation of cheongsam is a symbol of the integration of Chinese and western cultures in modern times.
The cultural connotation of cheongsam is different from other traditional cultures in China, which is the result of the integration of modern Chinese and western cultures. Cheongsam is not the Manchu cheongsam in the past. In fact, after modern reform, it absorbed many western characteristics and created the unique cultural connotation of China cheongsam on the original basis. If we compare the traditional cheongsam in Qing dynasty with the modern improved cheongsam, we will find that under different cultural backgrounds, cheongsam will also present different aesthetic styles because of people's different beliefs and aesthetic tastes.
The biggest difference between Manchu cheongsam and cheongsam is actually the difference between lines and styles. Manchu cheongsam is influenced by Confucian hierarchy, the doctrine of the mean and the idea of seeking common ground. The traditional cheongsam in Qing Dynasty is characterized by complexity, gentleness and simplicity. The cultural connotation of modern cheongsam is influenced by western ideas of equality, humanism and freedom. Modern improved cheongsam is characterized by its simplicity, graceful curve and freedom and diversity.
The cultural connotation of cheongsam is a symbol of national spirit and characteristics.
The cultural connotation of cheongsam is a symbol of national spirit and characteristics, even though modern cheongsam has been integrated with western cultural elements. But the cultural connotation of cheongsam is still traditional, but endless. Cheongsam enjoys a place in China and even the world because of its unique spiritual and cultural connotation. Although today's cheongsam is far less popular and influential than it was in 1930s and 1940s, the cultural connotation of cheongsam has awakened again. As a symbol of China, it has gone to the world. In modern times when traditional culture is rapidly dying, how commendable it is!
The cultural connotation of cheongsam itself is the carrier of China's traditional costume culture, which contains different life customs, aesthetic tastes, color hobbies, various cultural mentality, consciousness and other civilized elements. As a typical representative of traditional costumes in China, the emergence and development of cheongsam is deeply rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese civilization, which embodies the unique cultural value and national spirit of the Chinese nation, shows the traditional national art and essence of China, and has a strong national style of China.
5. The cultural connotation of cheongsam is a symbol of the revival of China traditional culture in modern times.
The cultural connotation of cheongsam is a symbol of the revival of China traditional culture in modern times. It is said to be a revival because cheongsam was silent during the sensitive period after the founding of New China. In recent years, the state has vigorously advocated the promotion of traditional culture, and the cultural connotation of cheongsam has begun to recover. Cheongsam, as the representative of China fashion that can best set off the figure and temperament of China women, has once again attracted people's attention. With the re-emphasis on traditional culture, cheongsam is also regarded as one of the symbols of the Chinese nation, and the cultural connotation of cheongsam has attracted more and more attention.
Cheongsam, which has lasted for a century, has been baptized several times in the long river of years, but it still maintains a strong Chinese style after several changes, and its tenacious vitality is by no means comparable to other traditional costumes. There is no doubt that the spread of the cultural connotation of cheongsam will continue, and perhaps in a certain period in the future, it will create beautiful miracles again.
