Chinese Costumes and the Spirit of Chinese Aesthetics

摘要

The aesthetics of Chinese costume is the crystallization of traditional Chinese artistry and at the same time is not without dregs, such as the suppression of its subjectivity, restraint of human body and segregation of different social classes. In contemporary China, Chinese costume keeps changing with the aesthetic needs of the time. Under such circumstances, filtration, screening and sublation have become the basic methods to inherit and carry forward the essence of traditional Chinese costume. It is contemporary Chinese people’s due responsibility to demonstrate the spirit of Chinese aesthetics via dressing, take the initiative to spread such a spirit, and showcase the unique charm of Chinese aesthetics by the light of nature.
