14、ina, its nominally called “internationalization” or “globalization”. in recent years, the costume industry of china has developed swiftly. the “international” costume, featured by the western costume culture, has become a pretty important part of our daily life.however, as our economy takes off, int

15、ernational status rises and living standard improves, a wave of national costume culture resurgence is rising. moreover, people from the west pay more and more attention to the giant dragon in the eastchina. western costume designers constantly introduce chinese costume cultural elements to their la

17、se one or the fusion of the two? to obtain the answers to these questions, we are supposed to study and contrast carefully the characteristics and developing processes of them, and then draw some regularity.to contrast the costume culture between china and the west, it is necessary for us to master

18、a good knowledge of the chinese and western costume cultural characteristics.chapter 1 chinese and western dress 1.1 the different features of chinese and western dresschina is known as “xia” as its a land of propriety, and its also known as “hua” with the beauty of its costume.

26、re about its social function of helping to rule a country well than that of keeping warm or decorating. it has a lot to do with ruling a country to regulate the dressing way of the common people. nevertheless, the westerners pay more attention to its wealth value and function. therefore, people put

27、on clothing for functional and social reasons.1.2.1 the functional reason the first use of clothing is to resist the cold and cover the body. functions of clothing include providing the human body protection against extremes of climate (extreme heat, icy winters, and drenching storms) and protection

28、 against insects, noxious, chemicals, and contact with abrasive substances. in sum, clothing protects human beings against anything that might injure the naked, unprotected human body. 1.2.2 the social reasonclothing also delivers social messages to other humans. social messages sent by clothing, ac

29、cessories, and decorations can involve social status, occupation, ethnic and religious belief, marital status, cultural degree and sexual availability, etc. for example, only roman citizens can wear “toga” in rome while dragon robe can only be dressed by the emperor in china.chapter 2 cultural diffe

30、rences between chinese and western clothingas the saying goes："people rely on apparel, beauty relies on good make-up". this is the same between china and the west, but for the specific performance - it will be different.chinese clothing culture differs from western clothing culture in the

31、following aspects.2.1 designthe chinese style is decided by the unique chinese culture and the oriental body feature. as the curve of we yellow races body is not so obvious, and chinese are fastidious about self-respect, implicitly and the doctrine of the mean, our clothing is a straight overall wit

32、h wide coat and fat sleeves, which emphasizes plane design. mens wear is a one-piece robe while womens wear is a short chinese-style jacket and a long skirt. the western style is determined by the western aesthetic thought of pragmatism and nationalism and the white races body structure. their body

35、ular stress on emotion and pays attention to psychological adjustment. the most important factor is the color element of clothing. clothing color falls into two colors which are the pure color and the secondary color in ancient china. the pure color is blue, yellow, red, white and black, the other c

36、olors are secondary color, and it provides that: the upper garment is the pure color, the under garment is the secondary color. (礼记·玉藻) darker colors were favored over lighter ones in traditional chinese clothing, so the main color of ceremonial clothing tended to be dark while bright. lighter

37、colored clothing was worn more frequently by the common people for everyday. chinese are said to have a fully developed system of matching, coordinating colors and shades of light and dark in clothing.people in ancient china also use different colors of clothing to distinguish peoples identity. the

38、black color was regarded as the one of the celestial ruler supreme god to rule everything. so in the xia shang and zhou dynasty, the clothing was mainly black. with the development of the feudal unitarianism, people began to adore the ground (yellow) instead of god (black). so it formed the rulers i

39、n ancient china believed in the theory of “five element”. they though the blue, red yellow, white and black represented respectively five elements of the wood, fire, earth, gold and water. “yellow, regarded as the noblest, symbolized the east；red, the south；white，the west; and black, the north. thes

40、e five colors were “principal colors,” and in some dynasties were exclusive to the garment of emperors and officials, common people were allowed to wear only secondary colors.”(zhi 73) this system of clothing colors had lasted to the qing dynasty and the yellow robe had been the symbol of imperial p

49、 a great contribution to human life from chinese people, so it is impossible to talk chinese clothing culture without silk. different from silk culture in china, flax culture prevails in ancient egypt, wool culture prevails in the mesopotamia and cotton culture prevails in india. ancient greece and
