12、ronment From the geographical environment, China culture originated in the the Yellow River civilization, is the formation and development in a relatively fixed and closed geographical environment. Since ancient times, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity have in this land of mutua

13、l collision, and communicate together to jointly form a subtle, inclusive for the characteristics of the Chinese culture, feudal political system with a long reign, to build a highly developed cultural system. In contrast, western culture is based on the Nile civilization in North Africa around the

14、Mediterranean, the two river valley civilization in West Asia, the Aegean civilization and the ancient Greek and ancient civilizations in southern Europe. After the great migration from the north of Rome, After the medieval development and Byzantine Culture, especially the development of Christian c

15、ulture, Western European countries formed a completely different Christian culture circle from far east China. In the cultural circle in the survival of many races, there are different cultural character, mutual collision, communication and integration between these cultures, formed a vibrant, aggre

16、ssive personality trait. China culture compared with western culture, the former is booming in a relatively fixed geographical environment, has relatively single and lively personality characteristics, the nature of an individual occurs; the latter across Asia, Africa and Europe on three continents,

17、 in a broad geographical environment, by a variety of civilizations mixed, alternating control and influence, with ethnic migration, cultural movement formed, with mixed characteristics, the nature of a system.2.2 differences in religious background The Western clothing culture seeks the law of natu

18、re. The West emphasizes the separation between the subjective world and the objective world, and makes it clear that the subjective is me and the objective is the object. The Western rational observation of the world and explore the law, form a kind to obtain the truth of traditional pursuit of natu

19、ral law, thus showing a rational or scientific attitude in the unified clothing, clothing and the environment is emphasized in the harmony with nature, emphasis on natural science knowledge, the development of the clothing is full of it to grasp the objective law of clothing, clothing of the basic t

20、raits. Western clothing culture emphasizes the mankind body. The development of clothing in the West shows that it serves for the beauty of human body. Its role is to fully show the beauty of human body and make up for the defects of human body. Clothing concept takes the pursuit of human body as th

21、e core. It shows the features of extroversion, extrovert, extrovert, extrovert and extrovert in the form of wearing the body as the precondition. The use of clothing to improve the beauty of the human body, pay attention to the study of the natural material characteristics of the human body, is the

22、combination of clothing and the human body. Also pay attention to the size of the body parts of the data. The most significant feature is to use clothing to highlight personality, display personality, and use clothing to express the affirmation and attention to personal value. In the context of reli

23、gious culture, ancient Western clothing has a theological point that transcends the needs of the body. Confucianism for a dress or a concept that Taoism concept, the ornamental and the combined plain properties is beneath the coarse home-spun,one may discover talent and ability. Both are elegant and

24、 solemn attitudes towards clothes. China has always paid attention to the etiquette and education. The dress embodies the self-cultivation of a person and the degree of respect for the people to see. If a person exposed skin can go out, is known as indecent or abject people. This is particularly evi

25、dent in ancient women. Women in feudal society lack the power to defend themselves with dignity. In a period of time or in some areas, they go out and have their face. In addition, China pays attention to the unity of nature and man and is devoted to the achievement of people With the fusion of natu

26、re, the clothes are both flat and elegant, and the gender differences are not obvious.3. Comparison of clothing culture3.1 different material culture The original social material culture from eating animal flesh raw and drinking its blood, human beings created different dress culture in different ge

27、ographical environment. Chinese people began to use animal fiber such as GE, linen, ramie and other animal fibers for weaving very early, and began to raise silkworms and weave 6900 years ago. Silk is a great contribution of the Chinese people to the life of human clothing. Without the elegant silk,

28、 it is impossible to talk about it. Compared with the developed silk culture in China, ancient Egypt is mainly flax culture, the two river basins are mainly wool culture, and India is the birthplace of cotton culture. Ancient Greece and ancient Rome did not create anything in terms of clothing mater

29、ials. They inherited the ancient civilization on the Mediterranean coast, that is, linen culture and wool culture. As for the silk, though the Silk Road in the Far East has seen the silk style from the Far East as early as the BC, ancient Rome did not understand the mystery of the beautiful fabric f

30、or a long time. Until the year 552, the Byzantine Empire sent two missionaries to Chinese China understand words, to know the secret of silk, a century later, in the Byzantine to weave silk, and the Europeans themselves can weave silk, until the 13-14 century Italy after the renaissance.3.2 differen

31、t sense of clothing function For the function of clothing, Chinese and Westerners have clear differences in understanding and focus on: since ancient times, Chinese attaches great importance to the social ethic function of dress. The dressing is not only confined to the warmth or ornament, but also

32、pay more attention to the social ethic function of stabilize the world. From the Xia and Shang to Zhou Dynasty, with the perfect dress etiquette system, this concept is almost throughout the entire China history, dynasties and rulers have attached great importance to wear costumes to unify peoples t

33、houghts, not to mind taking the trouble to revise repeatedly clothing system, in order to regulate the behavior of all walks of life to the country, . In the western countries cannot Chinese and compared, although the Romans had paid great attention to clothes said the identity, the feudal era has c

34、ontinued to launch a variety of clothing bans, but most of them are some of the luxury ban, there are few like Chinese fully put clothing social function into full play, and more attention is paid to the value of the wealth of clothing and aesthetic function. Chinese are always conservative and rese

35、rved in dressing, but do not like bold and bold fashion styles. Therefore, clothing is mainly covered with shading and bags, especially in traditional costumes. The cover is also considered one of the important reasons for the origin of clothing, ancient field of Fisheries and food, clothing because

36、 of its skin, the prophet word before the word after. Therefore, Chinese clothing is usually wrapped up with human beings, and few of them reveal the structure and style of the body. Western clothing is rather bold and unrestrained, from ancient Greece to the middle ages. Western costumes are mainly

37、 wrapped in unshaped clothing and pre - Open semi - shaped clothing, emphasizing and protruding the bodys lines Beauty, such as tight bras, buttocks and so on. In the Rococo period, in order to reflect the delicate and touching waist, women will never mature girl Start their day and night. So the We

38、stern men and women in many of the paintings and films we see are daring. And the figure is also more prominent. China dress on the overall dignified, traditional culture for more outlandish costume rejection. If there is a section of Zuo Zhuan describes a person wearing a partial clothing, be calle

39、d iucci impermanence is also not willing to wear clothing. So Chinese traditional costumes are more orthodox, there is little strange dress; western many times will be wearing strange as a personality some clothing is different from the cloth and put all sorts of things together clips.3.3 different

40、colors culture The traditional Chinese green, red and white, black, Huang Dingyi stern, and the several color mix colors become color. The color is more orthodox, the color was more. Evil purple spoils Zhu Zhu Yezhong for orthochromatic purple color. Yellow is as the symbol of the emperor, in ancien

41、t Chinese, only wearing a bright yellow emperor in the body, the other king Pro nobles, officials and ordinary people can only wear dark yellow or yellow ink. Red, symbolizing the sun, fire and blood, is also a symbol of joy, so it is also an auspicious color. Black and white, it is representative o

42、f the funeral. Since ancient times, Baishi said, black and white are the color of kyrgyzstan. In the west, the opposite is the opposite. In the western culture, white represents the supreme purity and the symbol of the noble. The aristocratic women we see are all dressed in white. And black in Engli

43、sh culture also symbolizes the nobility, the black velvet and the black velvet. Black satin is also very popular among the aristocratic women, and the black suit is a great representative of elegance and dignity.3.4 different patterns of culture In Chinese culture, the dragon and Phoenix are the sym

44、bol of class status and the famous totem. It represents the supremacy of rank, solemn and majestic. Only the emperor had the power to wear robes, Coronet is generally only king, after has the power to wear. The dress pattern is also relatively China for attention, we can often see some embroidery pa

45、tterns, including flowers, birds and animals, landscape geometric style, can add beauty to clothing, more delicate. Fukulu Zuki, he is also the deer Tongchun clothing adds auspicious meaning. The patterns on the Western costumes are not fixed, and change with the changes of the times. Such as the Ro

46、coco period to pay attention to the natural pattern, a large number of natural flowers as the theme, mainly by rose and orchid, and vine linked flowers, especially dynamic smooth, looks beautiful; Renaissance decorative pattern and decoration luxurious and beautiful flower pattern, compared to the R

47、ococo period, more ornate, and due to the re cognition of the world and its pagan mythology, with the lion and eagle pattern.4.dress differences 4.1 different dress concepts In the history of Chinas thousands of years of history, in the relatively stable, autistic and conservative state, Confucianis

48、m and Daos doctrines and beliefs complement each other and become the mainstream of ancient philosophy. Our ancestors created profound undress clothing culture, formed a unique aesthetic and philosophical concepts, different from the west, East and other ethnic groups are different. Thus, in womens

49、clothes shown on the form of a China style air and charm, revealing the potential of national spirit and culture of the inner soul. It reflects the China women Xian good tolerance, natural simplicity, indifferent personality and moral realm, and a graceful, reserved, Sophie Yu Gang, color charm temp

50、erament and personality quiet. The Confucian standard of Virtue and rite to standardize the dress. Confucianism strives for the ethical norms of the society and the combination of the psychological desire of the personality to be embodied in the dress. Confucian aesthetics from the aesthetic point o

51、f view of the whole society requires people to dress style exterior form beauty and inner quality artistically consistent with the United States, reflects the ideal personality to strengthen and enhance the costume ideas, moral personality to be the same outside and inside, both inside and outside i

52、nto neat uniform, in order to clear social fashion. The concept of clothing due to the long history of dominance, influence on womens basic shape of the past dynasties. Taoism believes that the state of pure nature is the most ideal state of human beings. Clothing should also conform to nature, tend

53、 to nature, and display the natural spirit of personality. The simplicity and rustic simplicity of womens dress, and the reduction of cumbersome decoration, are not equal to spiritual scarcity. They do not affect the beauty of clothing, and gradually reach the no ego situation when they try to get c

54、lose to nature. The relationship between man and clothing, man and nature, clothing and nature are harmonious and not conflicting with each other. Clothing can not shackle or harm the body, people can not destroy the law of nature. In the pursuit of clothing, the pursuit of the human body naturally,

55、 not to show off as the purpose of self publicity, not to show the individual. The loose body of clothing makes body and mind free and free. When it is dressed, it comes to a comfortable and relaxed sense of comfort, which reflects the natural and refined world. Although the Chinese history of the u

56、ps and downs of dynasties, changes in womens clothing dissipated, but retains the basic undress shape, cutting plane line loose. The WTO Confucian thought embodies the simple undress shurei personality of the founder, rigorous fashion. The born thoughts calm clean air, aloof and indifferent to the e

57、motional mood. In contrast, Western clothing is different, besides the influence of medieval Christianity had emerged, deny the existence of human beings, the beauty of the human body negative performances of this special period, whether it is the ancient undress culture, or since the Renaissance na

58、rrow clothing culture, Western clothes are very realistic, even an exaggeration to show the shape of people, especially since the late Middle Ages Gothic era, it is very explicit to strengthen the gender characteristics on the body of men and women, not only trying to expose the gender shape charact

59、eristics, expand the area and position of the bare and constantly (especially women). In the aspect of revealing, a series of means of strengthening are also created. This way makes western clothing undulating in shape, in the structure of clothes. There is a lot of human creativity. Westerners regard themselves as the masters of the world, the masters of all things in the world, take the self as the ce
