Both the designer and the shopkeeper mentioned that there exist a lot of problems in the Han clothing circle. Today, I want to talk about what those problems are and how did they affect the development of Han clothing in the contemporary society.
“Han modern clothing insults traditional Han clothing”:
A lot of people believed that Han modern clothing cannot help advertising Han clothing at all. Conversely, they maintained that it will causes misunderstanding about what the real Han clothing is for learners. What’s more, they believed that while Han modern clothing changed the design of traditional Han clothing, it lost the cultural meaning behind it at the same time, and without the cultural meaning, the clothing is neither unique nor important.
On the contrary, another group of people thinks that Han modern clothing is better than traditional Han clothing. People can wear it casually, and there is basically no limitation about how to design a Han modern clothing.
“We have to wear Han clothing formally”:
A few stubborn people in the Han clothing circle fight against the Han clothing routinization activity. They maintain that Han clothing represents our traditional culture, which means that we shouldn’t wear it with the other weird clothes. It shows disrespect for our own culture. It was a good thought at first, however, they went too far on this point. They do not allow people to wear sneakers or even glasses while they were in Han clothing, because “Those things did not exist in ancient time.”
However, with the development of the times, culture and clothes will develop as well, and this development is positive. I believe we should not just stumble upon this subject. Renaissance does not mean that we have to return to the ancient society. On the contrary, it teaches us to learn the positive experience from the ancients and make it better in the modern world.
