Chapter 27: The Mao Suit

Wen Hao was wearing a Mao suit made of Melton fabric, this dress was the last time she accompanied Zhao Jingxiang to the store to make a cheongsam, Zhao Jingxiang had to make a dress for Wen Hao, originally Zhao Jingxiang wanted Wen Hao to make a suit. But Wen Hao thought about it and made a black tunic.

First of all, this is the period of the Republic of China, Zhongshan is more popular, and secondly, this kind of clothing is simple, convenient and money-saving. Moreover, it can be worn as a ceremonial dress or as a casual wear. It is also easy to move and move freely. It's not like wearing a suit and feeling uncomfortable.

It was said that in Jet Li, Donnie Yen wore a Mao suit when he portrayed the heroes of the Republic of China, so Wen Hao immediately crossed over to the Republic of China, of course, the first choice of clothing must be the Mao suit.

Even ** likes to wear it very much, so Westerners often wear it when they see **, so Westerners also call it "Zhongshan suit" and "wool suit", but Chinese have not called it that.

This tunic is different from the folk costume, Wen Hao asked the tailor to make it more fitting, and the same as the improved tunic in later generations, so that Wen Hao wears it more spiritually, which makes people feel refreshed.

Such a change not only made Zhao Jingxiang feel much better than the old style of the tunic before, but even the tailor looked at the Liansheng Award and said that the change was good.

Zhao Jingxiang also put on the cheongsam she made last time. Wen Hao and Zhao Jingxiang stood together, embroidered cheongsam to show the grace of Chinese women, and the tunic just depicted the perseverance of Chinese men. Wen Hao still likes Chinese style and Chinese elements. So when Zhao Jingxiang said that he should make a suit, he resolutely opposed it and insisted on making a suit of tunics.

At first, Zhao Jingxiang was still a little unhappy, but after doing it according to Wen Hao's suggestion, Zhao Jingxiang also felt that Chinese still wore Zhongshan suits, which looked much better than suits.

For many years, China has wanted to catch up with and surpass the powerful countries of Europe and the United States, to stand tall among the nations of the world, and to think about the ideal cause of the communist masters, but it has never thought about regaining its own national spirit. Wearing Western clothes all day long, speaking foreign languages, ignoring the culture of their own country. I spend a lot more time learning a foreign language at school than I do learning Chinese.

On the one hand, in order to seek the strength and prosperity of the nation. On the other hand, they despise their own traditional civilization and abandon themselves. This has caused the Chinese nation to lose many national things while pursuing national progress.

The tunic also has the cultural code of the Chinese civilization inside. Why is the tunic a five-button placket, four patch pockets, and three buttons at the cuffs?

The four pockets of the first predecessor refer to the four dimensions of the country (courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame). The lid of the bag is an inverted pen holder, which means "to Wenye country".

The second placket five-grain buckle is different from the separation of powers in the West, which refers to the separation of five powers (executive, legislative, judicial, and examination. Monitoring)

The three cuffs and three buttons refer to the three people's doctrine (civil rights, people's livelihood, and democracy). The idea of a republic (equality, freedom, fraternity).

It's just that the tunic and the cheongsam, two kinds of clothes that represent Chinese culture, were treated completely differently after the liberation, and the tunic became one of the favorite clothes of the masses of the people because of the likes of the central leaders such as Deng Lao after the liberation, but the cheongsam was neglected. It was once extinct in China.

When Wen Hao saw Zhao Jingxiang wearing a cheongsam and standing with him, he felt that the tunic and cheongsam really matched.

Wen Hao looked at himself and then looked at Zhao Jingxiang, the more pleasing he looked, and then he wanted to get a camera to take a photo with his sister in this dress and keep a memory.

Suddenly remembered that he brought a box with him when he crossed over, and there was a mobile phone and a camera function in it, how could he forget this.

"You've been watching it for a long time, and you haven't seen enough, we can go, and it's going to be too late if we don't leave." Zhao Jingxiang thought that Wen Hao hadn't worn new clothes for a long time, and generally wore new clothes during the New Year, and he didn't wear new clothes for Wen Hao during the New Year in the past two years, Zhao Jingxiang thought that Wen Hao was happy to wear new clothes.

"Wait a minute, sister, I remember that there is something I haven't taken, I'll go in and I'll be back as soon as I go." Wen Hao and Zhao Jingxiang had already gone out, and Wen Hao broke free from Zhao Jingxiang's hand and rushed back to the house.

Hide in your own house and summon the chest from the Treasure Pack that has been crossed. After opening the case, he ignored the gun inside, rummaging through his iPhone. Found soon under the chest. Put your phone in your pocket and put the box away.

It's really stupid to have a mobile phone that you don't use, although you can't call and communicate, but you can take pictures, and you can finally wear it once, why don't you keep it, that's really sorry for yourself, and when you're old, take it out and enjoy it, it's a good memory.

"What's the matter with you, hurry up, you forgot something just now, it matters." Zhao Jingxiang said impatiently.

"I forgot my handkerchief." Hao almost said that I forgot to take a napkin, but when I think about it, it seems that the napkin has not yet appeared, and now people who have the conditions can carry a handkerchief at most, and some people don't even bring a handkerchief. Like some toiling people, households, rickshaw drivers, porters, etc., they wipe their noses directly with their sleeves.

Zhao Jingxiang directly took Wen Hao out of the alley and recruited two rickshaws on the side of the road. One person sat on it with Wen Baitian.

"Santa Ana Ballroom." Zhao Jingxiang said to the rickshaw driver.

This is Wen Hao's first time taking a rickshaw, and it feels more enjoyable than taking a car, but this cannot be said to Shanghainese people in the 30s.

Don't underestimate the pursuit of fashion by Shanghainese in the 30s, which is not much worse than today's, or even surpassed. Living in our later generations, we may have watched a lot of TV movies about Shanghai is some anti-Japanese war, when I mentioned Shanghai, I thought that young people at that time knew how to march on the streets and actively participate in the anti-Japanese resistance, which is one aspect, but before the official anti-Japanese war with the Japanese, Shanghai people were famous metropolises in the world after all. Many people are fascinated in this metropolis and like to pursue fashion, excitement, and everything, including material and spiritual things.

At this time, Shanghai had some similarities with Shenzhen in later generations, both of which were bridges between China and the outside world, except that one was a door that China opened on its own initiative, and the other was a door that was forced to open. One is a symbol of shame, and the other is a sign of China's economic take-off.

After all, Wen Hao is a person who came from later generations, and some new things are attractive to Shanghainese, but some old things, such as rickshaws are more attractive than cars, Zhao Jingxiang's main consideration is that rickshaws are much cheaper than taxis, after all, taxis were considered high-end fares at that time, and they were not something that ordinary people could enjoy.

Wen Hao sat on the rickshaw and felt quite fresh, enjoying another kind of Shanghainese life that modern people can't feel.

In later generations, Wen Hao once saw a couple of married couples, and the groom used a rickshaw to pull the bride home. At that time, it aroused the curiosity and onlookers of the public. At that time, it also aroused Wen Hao's curiosity about rickshaws. But I haven't seen it since, and now the streets of Shanghai are full of rickshaws, and I have tried to get off the rickshaw myself.

Wen Hao wanted to go down and pull down the rickshaw in person to feel the difference between pulling down the car and riding in the car.
