A Brief Analysis of Representation and Reflection of Chinese Traditional Garment of Women

Abstract

Chinese clothing, especially women's clothing, is very exquisite. Not only the texture of the clothes but also the expression of each clothing style. A lot of information can be reflected in women's clothing. Through the combination of documents and historical materials, this paper analyzes the aesthetic characteristics and cultural connotations of Chinese women's clothing. The results show that Chinese traditional culture is all-encompassing and is the spiritual source of contemporary Chinese clothing design. From the choice of fabric to the colors and embroidery patterns, there is a unique meaning and status symbol. In the end, it is found that the influence of traditional Chinese women's clothing is profound. Women's clothing has not only become powerful evidence for ancient civilization study but also can make future generations strongly feel the spiritual abundance of ancient people. People can only effectively communicate profound cultural implications in fashion design and develop and innovate based on inheriting heritage by deeply comprehending traditional clothing culture and respecting its aesthetic meaning. The proper approach to carrying down traditional clothing culture is to continually improve upon, advance, and transcend it. Rather than concentrating just on the form of traditional Chinese cultural aspects, the vitality of traditional Chinese clothing culture lies in the harmonious fusion of form and connotation.
