On The Verge Of National Costume Culture

In day to day work, surrounded by more and more tall buildings, the idea of breaking away from bondage and returning to nature has made the costumes with ethnic folklore become a bright spot in the new millennium.

In the costume design, national elements are shown on the stage of dress again and again, but they are not the replica of the national culture, but a new attitude and new vitality.

With its broad connotation, unique aesthetics and rich forms of expression, the spirit of national culture has brought new vitality to modern clothing, and has also added new sparkle to modern clothing culture.

As a carrier of national culture, national costumes contain deep national culture. Studying national costumes not only contributes to the innovation of fashion design, but also is an important work to promote national culture and promote the development of today's clothing culture.


Against this background, this year's ethnic minorities' clothing culture, which is on the brink of extinction, is worthy of our attention.

The book is Professor Yu Shi Ji, director of the center for Yao studies at Guangxi University For Nationalities.

Monograph.

The author obtained a lot of information and photos in the long-term fieldwork. Through these first-hand materials, he expounded and displayed the colorful and colorful clothing culture of Guangxi minority nationalities, and profoundly interpreted their cultural connotations.

For example, many friends who have been to Guangxi and Longsheng can not forget the long black hair of Longsheng red Yao women.

As an important part of clothing, hairstyle is also a symbol of significance in Guangxi minority costumes.

Longsheng Guilin and Pingxiang Huang Luo village are known as "the first village in the world." the local women believe that hair is the essence of human life, especially the hair of women. It is also the symbol of life. Therefore, women have long hair. The average hair of women is more than 1 meters long, and the longest is 1.9 meters, creating the Guinness world record of "the longest hair of group".

Girls in the village began to accumulate hair when they were 13 years old. They only cut their hair once at 16 years old to symbolize their adulthood.

The girl in the boudoir never easily lets others see their own hair. They put their hair on top of their heads, like a snail, and then wrap it up with a scarf.

Local customs hold that only the groom is eligible to see the bride's hair first; after marriage, they comb their hair on the forehead, wrapped in a scarf, and put their hair on top of their heads after being a mother.

Such a profound cultural interpretation is not known without fieldwork that has been going on all the year round.


Facing the splendid clothing culture, the author of the book still has some worries. In his preface, he said, "after 1980s, influenced by the modernization process and the impact of economic globalization, the protection and inheritance of the clothing culture of the ethnic minorities in Guangxi is facing a grim situation." but challenges and opportunities coexist.

The sense of historical mission of traditional culture, for those engaged in textile and garment industry, is more important to think about how to survive in the past, how to talk with the present, how to design with traditional features, how to have the characteristics of the times, at the same time, have local characteristics, and how to integrate the national feelings into the design, which requires people to practice continuously. These require people to fully understand history, which is also the important significance of our reading of the book.


In addition, the book has many interesting ethnic costumes and cultures, and the authors have presented them to readers in a single way, waiting for readers to open this wonderful cultural journey of Guangxi ethnic minorities.
