The Hanfu chapter of a culturally powerful country

Hanfu is a comprehensive cultural symbol system with protective clothing as the material form and Chinese excellent traditional culture as the core. Hanfu was born with the ancient Chinese civilization. After more than 5,000 years of ups and downs, it has been integrated into the blood of the Chinese nation. It is the carrier of national history, culture and spirituality. Together with traditional Chinese food, architecture, Chinese characters and Chinese language, it forms a magnificent Chinese cultural edifice. , is an important support for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and an important part of the construction of a culturally powerful country.

Hanfu is an important representation of China’s excellent traditional cultural image system. It is a cultural production and consumption custom guided and regulated by traditional Chinese philosophy. His works are the externalization of traditional Chinese philosophical thoughts. They are composed of three internal and external parts: Chinese cultural spirit, Chinese institutional civilization, and Chinese traditional clothing form. They have irreplaceable ideological, political, social, artistic, and Economic Value. The revival of Hanfu, the revival of Chinese studies, the revival of traditional Chinese medicine, and the revival of traditional etiquette and festivals together constitute an overall revival that makes up for the shortcomings of China’s excellent traditional culture.

Hanfu is the backbone of traditional Chinese clothing. As the quintessence of the nation, Hanfu runs through all dynasties and regions in Chinese history. It is a stable national cultural system created and enjoyed by all Chinese people. Since “The Rites of Zhou” standardized a complete system of clothing and etiquette, although each dynasty has been influenced by the “correction of Shuo and Yifu color” clothing and clothing system, Hanfu has always represented the national image of the Chinese nation before the Qing Dynasty and served as the foundation for ancient China. It has won many reputations, such as “a country with great clothes”, “a country with etiquette” and “splendid China”. Hanfu has been the undercurrent of Chinese clothing for more than 300 years, and even its details are still ingenious and priceless today. There are 12 clothing items listed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list, including Nanjing Yunjin wood machine embroidery hand-weaving skills, Song brocade weaving skills, silk weaving skills, and sericulture customs, and 225 items are listed at the national level. . The Central Ethnic Work Conference pointed out that it is necessary to correctly grasp the relationship between Chinese culture and the culture of various ethnic groups. The excellent traditional culture of all ethnic groups is an integral part of Chinese culture. Chinese culture is the backbone, and the cultures of various ethnic groups are branches and leaves. Only when the roots are deep and strong can the branches and leaves flourish. . Under the conditions of the times when the tide of China’s excellent traditional culture is surging, Hanfu, which has been a model of Chinese clothing for more than 5,000 years, will inevitably glow with charming splendor and fill the gap in the absence of recognized orthodox clothing for the Chinese nation.

Hanfu contains the Chinese discourse system constructed by core concepts such as Tao following nature, the sky is round and the earth is round, heaven and man are one, yin and yang and the five elements, and respecting the right. It has strong Chinese characteristics. Since ancient times, Hanfu has been characterized by elegant and grand, upright and generous, benevolent and free and easy inner character, showing a distinctive Chinese style. Hanfu places emphasis on form and spirit, illusion and experience. It is graceful, elegant, profound and agile. It embodies the Chinese people’s pursuit of the aesthetic ideal of doing whatever they want without breaking the rules, and implicitly and implicitly maintaining harmony. It has a unique Chinese style.

The revival of Hanfu means the realization of a better life for the people. The first is the acquisition of better material life. In the process of striving towards the second centenary goal, Hanfu is no longer a piece of clothing to protect the body from the cold, but a second skin for the human body with the purchasing power to choose fabrics, workmanship, and price. This is brought about by the decline in the Engel Index of the entire society. Demonstration of dividends. The second is the enjoyment of a higher spiritual and cultural life. The distance between poetry and distance is not only a distance in space, but also a distance in time. The return of Hanfu is not a time travel, but a true connection with history in terms of cognition, etiquette, festivals, etc. It enriches cultural life, improves aesthetic quality, and strengthens spiritual character. A set of Hanfu is a showcase of cultural accomplishment when sitting, and a catwalk of personal charm when walking. The third is the establishment of a clearer Chinese national identity. Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and India all use clothing as an important way to construct national identities in the context of globalization. Only when the identity of the Chinese people is established in an all-round way and all citizens confidently wear iconic clothing that represents the spirit of contemporary Chinese culture can the modernization of the Chinese nation be completed in a true sense and the Chinese nation be equally ranked among the nations of the world.

The revival of Hanfu marks the effective construction of a community with a shared future for the Chinese nation. Hanfu was interrupted by the violent coercion of the Qing Dynasty, but the view that Hanfu gradually died out is not valid. Hanfu embodies profound cultural connotation, embodies long-lasting and strong national sentiments, and shines with dazzling artistic brilliance, which cannot be annihilated due to the change of dynasties. Judging from the five thousand years of Chinese civilization history, the retreat of Hanfu is only a temporary phenomenon. The current revival of Hanfu is essentially the restart of Hanfu after its development was interrupted. For more than 300 years, the development process of Hanfu was forcibly interrupted due to the change of dynasties, which was full of memories of blood and tears between nations; due to the invasion of foreign powers, it was criticized and exiled along with the traditional Chinese culture, which was full of inner determination and sorrow. The restart, development and revival of Hanfu in the new era, especially the emergence of Hanfu in the new era that represents the unifying temperament of the contemporary Chinese nation, will deepen the understanding of historical events related to ethnic relations, heal the historical trauma caused by ethnic conflicts, and liberate fraternal ethnic groups. �The first goal of reviving Hanfu is to strengthen theoretical research. In terms of understanding, Hanfu is not a static unearthed cultural relic, but a living social custom. We should understand Hanfu from a developmental perspective. If traditional Hanfu is the clothing of the Han nation, new era Hanfu is based on traditional Hanfu, absorbing the clothing genes of ethnic minorities, suitable for the dressing needs of contemporary people, and representing the Chinese nation. Strengthen research on the cultural integration function, make Hanfu in the new era a common symbol of the entire Chinese nation, and build the cultural gene of a community with a shared future for the Chinese nation. Ideologically, strengthen the research and interpretation of Hanfu, conduct in-depth research and interpretation of the historical origins, development context, and basic trends of Hanfu, profoundly clarify that Hanfu is an important component of China’s excellent traditional culture, and profoundly clarify that the inheritance and development of Hanfu is a practical need for building a socialist cultural power. , profoundly clarified that Hanfu is enriched and developed through continuous exchanges and mutual learning with brother national costumes, and strives to build a theoretical system and discourse system of Hanfu with Chinese heritage and Chinese characteristics. In terms of attributes, Hanfu includes cultural attributes and natural attributes, both of which are inseparable and equally important. Cultural attributes constitute the spiritual value of Hanfu, and natural attributes constitute the economic value of Hanfu. If we underestimate the natural attributes, the revival of Hanfu will have no foundation; if we underestimate the cultural attributes, the revival of Hanfu will not be sustainable. It is necessary to study the “Book of Songs”, “Shangshu”, “Zhou Rites”, “Book of Rites”, the Twenty-Four Histories and other handed down classics, and study the intangible cultural heritage items of spinning, dyeing, weaving, embroidery, and local ethnic costumes to make up for the lack of understanding of the cultural attributes of Hanfu. It provides theoretical support for the design and production of Hanfu.

The second is to leverage the power of multiple parties. The clothing system is an important national system. Each Chinese dynasty regarded the inheritance of Han clothing as a sacred national event. Therefore, the Twenty-Four Histories specially compiled the Yufu Zhi. As a national act, in 2017, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the “Opinions on Implementing the Inheritance and Development Project of Excellent Traditional Chinese Culture”, proposing to “implement the Chinese festival etiquette clothing and apparel plan, and design and produce clothing that showcases the unique cultural charm of the Chinese nation.” “Series of Clothing and Accessories”, “study and propose social etiquette, clothing and civilized terminology standards that inherit traditional customs and meet the requirements of modern civilization”, and make overall arrangements for the revitalization of traditional clothing. To implement the requirements of these “Opinions”, we must formulate an action plan for the revival of Hanfu, do a good job in top-level design, and arrange a timetable and mission statement for the revival of Hanfu. The central department in charge of civilized construction plays a comprehensive coordination role, integrates various resources, mobilizes the strength of all parties, and promotes the formation of a work pattern for the inheritance and development of Hanfu in which the party and government groups coordinate, relevant departments each assume their own responsibilities, and the whole society participates. The Hanfu industry is an important cultural industry. The cultural and tourism system should include Hanfu into the scope of intangible cultural heritage and tourism to provide cultural and market guarantees for the inheritance of Hanfu. The news media should increase the publicity of Hanfu, spread Hanfu culture with great fanfare, and create a good public opinion atmosphere at home and abroad for the revival of Hanfu.

The third is to promote and apply it step by step. Since its return, Hanfu has attracted widespread attention and gathered a preliminary group of enthusiasts. It has become a common “national trend” scenery at clothing conferences and tourist areas, and has become the ignition that triggered a prairie fire. However, it is still far from the goal of reviving Hanfu. . To restore the proper functions of Hanfu and reproduce the glory that Hanfu should have, the specific promotion steps are recommended as follows: In terms of scenes, change from art clothes to formal clothes to regular clothes. At present, wearing Hanfu still belongs to the category of displaying artistic beauty in specific cultural spaces. In the future, Hanfu can be used as a formal dress to be promoted to the country, society, life rituals, as well as cultural, educational, technological and other industry agencies and workplaces of enterprises and institutions, and finally to the people. daily life. In terms of categories, there are national clothes, industry clothes and regular clothes. Party and state leaders, diplomats, government officials, and celebrities from all walks of life took the lead in advocating the use of Hanfu as formal wear in foreign affairs activities, major festivals and other occasions. Later, education, science, culture, health, sports, industry, agriculture, commerce, etc. followed suit and launched industry-specific Hanfu was finally introduced to the vast urban and rural masses. In terms of the crowd, it is composed of young people and children and others. Currently, 91% of Hanfu enthusiasts are young people aged 16 to 35, and the majority are women. Based on this, it can be set to be promoted first among young people who advocate tradition and pursue fashion, and then spread to infants, young children, and teenagers, and then to people over 36 years old. Geographically, it ranges from cities to towns to rural areas; seasonally, it ranges from spring and autumn to winter and summer; nationally, it ranges from Chinese to international people, ultimately forming a grand scene covering the whole society, the whole life, and the whole climate.

Standing at the intersection of two centuries-old history, and taking advantage of the mighty east wind of the Chinese nation from standing up, getting rich, and becoming strong, there is reason to believe that there is a strong and lasting trend of traditional cultural rejuvenation in the only ancient civilization. As a driving force for consumption, there is abundant capital investment from the largest developing country, unparalleled product production capacity of a major manufacturing country, a consumer market prospect of more than 9.6 million square kilometers inhabited by a community of a shared future for the Chinese nation, and the potential of a powerful modern socialist country with Chinese characteristics. With common prosperity as a guarantee of purchasing power, the great renaissance of Hanfu, like the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, has entered an irreversible track of the times. The Hanfu dream will surely become the most gorgeous and joyful chapter in the vision of a socialist cultural power!
