Chapter 303 Dresses, Cultural Differences

"What's the blame, don't you think this mash-up is very postmodernist free-spirited. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Leslie Cheung said casually with a red card.

"Mr. Zhang really takes the bureau wherever he goes. Wu Tianlai came over to say hello and looked at Mo Ke, who he saw for the first time, "Who is this beauty?"

"My friend, Moko. Wang Yao casually introduced and took the teacup handed by Rie Miyazawa.

"Director Yang, you said that it is really not good to gather like things, you see that Xiaoyao is surrounded by beautiful girls, which is enviable. Wu Tianlai quipped.

Director Yang Fan was wearing a silk Tai Chi practice uniform, and smiled at Wu Tianlai, "This thing can't be envied, anyway, I feel that being with Xiao Yao is really pleasing to the eye, and there is a kind of tranquility that returns to history." ”

That seems a bit strange. Wang Yao secretly pointed out the cards to Zheng Jingjing, and smiled at the two, "I have to declare, we are not ancients, we are modern people, and Hanfu is not ancient clothing." ”

"We all know the truth, but we have to give it time to get used to it. Director Yang Fan smiled, "You just say, how many white people have come to ask us whether we are Koreans or Dongying people along the way." ”

Wang Yao raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a smile, "Indeed, you have to adapt slowly." ”

Wang Yao and the others arrived in Moscow last night, were received by the organizers of the film festival, and visited the night view of Moscow.

This precedent made Wang Yao very regretful, before in Berlin, in a country like Sydney across the ocean, people asked this kind of question, he felt that it was understandable, after all, in terms of clothing, there is indeed almost no Chinese export culture, which is far inferior to Goryeo and Dongying, the only outstanding thing is the practice clothes brought out by Bruce Lee and the long coats in foreign textbooks.

But no one in Russia, a neighboring country, or even the big brother who was a close comrade-in-arms with the Dragon Kingdom during the war, knew about Hanfu, and it was indeed a pity.

However, what Director Yang Fan said is right, there must be an adaptation period.

"Beautiful, what kind of execution is this?" Wu Tianlai circled around Wang Zuxian and the others, looked at the elegant clothes on their bodies and asked, "It looks a bit like a Western dress." ”

"It's called a jacket. Wang Yao took a sip of tea and introduced, "It has been handed down from the Yin Shang period, Mo Ke stood up and took a turn." ”

Mo Ke looked at Wang Yao whitely, got up and turned around, showing the robe embroidered with peony flowers and white silk moire on his body.

"This dress is an ancient woman's dress, you see, when it is opened, it looks like the shape of a swallow, isn't it? Wang Yao said with a smile.

Wu Tianlai's eyes lit up, "Indeed, I just felt that my chin was a bit like a Western tuxedo dress." ”

"The legend of the Shang Dynasty is that the Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao will give birth to Shang. The Shang Dynasty was originally called the Shang Dynasty, and it was the descendant of one of the five emperors, the ancestor Yin Qi's mother ate a Xuanniao egg and gave birth to the Shang ancestor Yin Qi, and later overthrew the Shang Dynasty established by the Xia Dynasty, so the Shang Dynasty worshiped the Xuan Bird as the ancestor, and the ancient Xuan Bird should be the shape of the swallow, but whether the swallow for thousands of years is what it is now, it is unknown. Wang Yao began to popularize science.

Therefore, the shape of the jacket is like a swallow, from the beginning of the Shang Dynasty is the dress of the noble woman, specially used for prayer and sacrifice for the child, and then slowly developed into the clothes of the goddess sculpture, and there are earlier unearthed sculptures and other female cultural relics on the stone wall of Dunhuang. ”

"Originally, there were a few more fairy streamers, and a few of them were too hot and not entangled, otherwise they would be more beautiful. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"It's good enough. Wang Zuxian looked at Wang Yao with white eyes.

"Brother Yao, let me give you an opinion, next time you change this kind of clothing to a men's model, I can be a model for you. Leslie Cheung said with a smile.

"You are greedy for everything. Wang Zuxian snorted lightly.

Leslie Cheung came to see Wang Zuxian on purpose, because he was worried that she would be emotionally unstable after falling out of love, which made Wang Yao a little moved, and Leslie Cheung was able to take time out of his busy schedule to take care of his friends, which shows how much he treats people.

Although he didn't go through the film festival, Wang Yao also knew the importance of walking the red carpet, and this was a good opportunity to promote Hanfu, so he asked the embroidery girl to make three sets of dresses for Wang Zuxian and others.

A robe, a curved robe, and a set of skirts with skirts.

Of course, it's all yarn or chiffon, after all, July is the dog days, but fortunately, the temperature in Moscow is relatively cool.

In addition to the Tang-shaped clothes, Hanfu is mostly more conservative, which is completely different from the exposure of Western dresses, even if the skirt only leaks a small piece of the chest this time, which makes Wang Zuxian, who often goes in and out of various ceremonies and is accustomed to wearing Western dresses with revealing styles, still feel a little uncomfortable.

Evening dress culture is common to the East and the West, but in modern times, due to economic and international status and cultural trends, basically all the fashions and rules are drawn up by the West, including dress culture.

In Western dress culture, because of the liberation of the human body in the early Renaissance era, as well as the influence of the more exaggerated and demonized in modern times, the evening dress originally used to reflect the female figure and grace is exposed in the understanding of Eastern culture.

This is an aesthetic difference that comes with cultural differences.

But unfortunately, even if you don't like it, the East will still follow the cultural characteristics of the West and adopt their dress culture for important ceremonies.

Women's figure is beautiful, and the Western dress culture pays the most attention to three-dimensional tailoring and tailor-made tailoring, in which women's shoulders, chests, backs and arms are necessary to show the beauty of women.

In modern aesthetics, this necessary exposure of the female body is a compliment to women, not a derogation, but in fact, the origin of the evening dress is in the 15th century, under the reign of Philip III, the Burgundy court, the formal dress to attend the court occasions, there is a trend of fashion and art.

The concept of court dress became popular throughout Europe, and gradually formed a dress code that must be present in formal court events, including daytime and evening social activities.

But during this period, female nudity was a faux pas, and most court dresses were tightly wrapped, regardless of day or night.

During the Renaissance, formal court dresses remained unexposed, with the exception of the popular square collar that exposed part of the chest, and the rest was covered with ornate fabrics and precious ornaments.

This shows that what the court dress was to show off was not the body but wealth and rank. However, this court dress was worn with a corset and skirt, and the fabric was mostly heavy velvet, fur, sewn with pearls and gemstones, and a lot of padding to shape it, which was quite difficult to wear. Outside of court activities, aristocratic women usually wore a more relaxed and convenient garment for private occasions, and in the sixteenth century there was a long evening dress.

This was the prototype of the evening gown, made of light fabrics such as silk and linen, and since it could only be worn in front of family and closest friends, the degree of nudity was relatively high, especially the chest that had been tortured all day by the corset, and this nudity was initially a comfort.

During the Renaissance in the 15th and 17th centuries, it became fashionable to ask artists to paint portraits, and it was a reflection of social status.

Wearing this informal, "disrespectful" costume to paint portraits was a privilege for aristocratic women, and at the same time reflected a feminine sensuality that differed from the court dress, which subsequently affected the whole society.

This privilege was gradually carried over into the daily life of the court, and wearing evening dresses and even nightdresses to meet people of lower status became a sign of status, most notably Louis XIV, the Sun King, who wore pajamas, sometimes not at all, in bed to meet courtiers, and the women around him wore only a nightdress.

Nudity, becoming a symbol of power.

Until the 18th century, when the queen got up, she wore a nightdress, and was dressed by a group of aristocratic female officials dressed in formal court dresses, which was already one of the formal etiquettes of the European court, and such scenes can be seen in the movies "Princess Sissi" and "Marie Antovanet", which is the contrast between casual nudity and formal dresses, which is the embodiment of power.

And this sense of power, mixed with pornography, gradually expanded to the formal evening activities of the court, and the large number of nighttime social activities such as dinners, balls, and card parties increased, so that the evening dress gradually became a formal dress, forming a different branch from the day dress. And lightness and nudity also became the rules of night dresses.

Whether it was in the imperial era of Napoleon or the conservative Victorian period, the evening activities of the upper class maintained a naked dress style, which was also the privilege of the entire high society.

Therefore, in Western aesthetics, women's naked bodies, of course, are within a certain scale, which is a symbol of women's rights, which means that women are no longer vassals of a patriarchal society and have the meaning of independent rights.

However, after the nineteenth century, the popular aesthetic S-shaped body in the West became popular, and this right of women became a symbol of pleasing men, which can be regarded as influencing the modern evening dress culture.

Later, after the invention of the bra, women gradually regained the right to the body again, Chanel reformed the 'tight S beauty era', and created a loose, comfortable and simple female aesthetic trend became the second innovation in modern times, so Chanel's early popularity in the West has been undoubted.

In 1918, a genius in the clothing industry designed the first backless evening dress, so that in the evening dress culture, women can freely show their beautiful backs.

In 1935, nylon fabric was invented, which was first used for war munitions, and was later used in stockings by DuPont, which became an important turning point in women's aesthetics.

In 1946, a French inventor cut a one-piece swimsuit and created the bikini, allowing women to show more of their rights over their bodies.

Therefore, the exposure in Western women's aesthetics is completely different from that in Eastern culture.

In the Western perception, women's naked clothing is a symbol of a woman's own rights, and it is also an important indicator of women's equal rights and interests in a patriarchal society, which has nothing to do with bad morals.

But later, this kind of aesthetic culture, which originally meant very well, was used as a means to attract the media shutter in the uncultured entertainment industry, which is really chilling, and for hundreds of years, female pioneers have used their lives and blood to break through the secular bottom line of male power again and again to fight for equal rights and interests for women, but in contemporary times, it has become a means for women to please male power again.

It's scary to think about.

Wang Yao naturally respects the Western culture of evening dresses, but he also hopes to let the world know that it belongs to the Chinese dress culture.

The word equal rights and interests is not only fought for by Western women, but also outstanding women in the past dynasties of China, led by the Tang Dynasty, and the women's rights and interests of the entire Tang Dynasty can even lead the current women's rights and interests.

Although when it comes to the rights of men and women in China, foreigners think most of them are three wives and four concubines, but in fact, in the past dynasties and the entire human history and civilization, the rights given to women by Chinese culture have always been ahead of other countries.

Before the Song Dynasty, women in China could divorce their husbands, and even remarry with their children, which was not a big deal, but it was only after the Song Dynasty that there was a strange traditional culture of 'keeping festivals'.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's mother, Wang Huan, remarried Emperor Jing, and had two children with her ex-husband before remarrying.

The degree of clothing exposure of women in the Tang Dynasty and the control of their own bodies were much higher than those of contemporary women, and wearing low-cut clothes in the Tang Dynasty would not be scolded by people on the street as "shameless" and "fox spirit".

Western body aesthetics, ****, etc. have not been very accepted by Eastern culture, and I don't know who has the problem.

The human body is given by parents, it is composed of flesh and skin, it should be the only thing that human beings can completely control themselves, the so-called freedom, if you don't even wear what you wear to live, you need to be pointed at by others, then this world, is there really such a thing as freedom?

The freedom that human beings have always sought, although bound by morality and rules, should not become a prejudice and arrogance, because at least, what to wear should be personal freedom, you can not appreciate it, but there should not be too much right to blame.

Even if some are for flattery and fighting, it is just a choice for others.

Therefore, Wang Yao does not want women under the influence of Eastern culture to be forced to cater to Western aesthetic culture to wear things that they find awkward.
