Why are the costumes of ethnic minorities in China so bright and gorgeous? Bright and gorgeous national costumes often appear on the stage of parties, tourist attractions and news broadcast. Why are these ethnic minorities dressed so brightly? In fact, nowadays, ethnic minorities do not wear gorgeous national costumes in their daily lives. Similar to the Han nationality, they also prefer modern fashion that suits the pace of contemporary life, especially in some big cities. For example, in Nanning, the capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Zhuang people account for half of the permanent population, and their streets are not obviously different from those inhabited by Han people. Even in areas where traditional ethnic costumes are relatively complete, the ethnic costumes worn by local residents will not be colorful at all. If you see gorgeous national costumes in your daily life, most of them are tourists wearing their work clothes. Of course, it is also possible that Han tourists are taking pictures. Is it the impact of modernization that makes ethnic minorities give up gorgeous traditional costumes? On the contrary, just a few decades ago, the daily clothes of most ethnic minorities were much simpler than today. Plain cotton and linen fur is often the main raw material of national costumes, and even bark and straw rope are used. As it is now, it is rare to see national costumes that occupy the color swatches of Gao Fancha and are made of reflective fabrics from head to toe. If you live in the tropical south, it is hard to say whether some ethnic men can even call them "clothes". In 1950s, we can see some records in the social investigation data of some southern minority areas: ... Both men and women are barefoot all day and never wear shoes and socks ... Usually, their upper body is naked, and their lower body is covered with fig leaf ... They wear blankets, but their lower body is not covered with trousers ... It is only in recent decades that ethnic minorities generally wear clothes ... So, how did these simple and rough ethnic costumes become today? 1, add elements for easy identification. In fact, many national costumes we see today were gradually formed after the Communist Party of China (CPC) began to systematically carry out ethnic surveys and ethnic identification in the 1950s. In the early years, the public's cognition of the specific images of different ethnic groups in China mostly stayed within the framework of "five-ethnic republic". In addition to understanding the images and costumes of Tibetan, Mongolian, Manchu and other major ethnic groups, the cognition of various ethnic groups in the south is basically the overall impression of "Hundred Miao". In 1950s, after the investigation of social living conditions in ethnic areas was carried out, the daily clothes of aborigines in many remote areas were systematically recorded by scholars for the first time. The national costumes recorded in these materials are also simple and rough, and the national differences are not so prominent. However, with the continuous advancement of national identity, it has become an important demand to define the unique cultural characteristics of different nationalities. If you belong to a minority, you should have its cultural characteristics, and it is best to wear it directly. Therefore, every nation spontaneously or passively embodies specific national visual symbols in its traditional costumes. After Baima people living in the border area between Gansu and Sichuan were identified as Tibetans, more and more typical Tibetan costume elements began to appear in their traditional costumes. During the Republic of China, the Hui people in Beijing were no different from the Han people. Out of the psychology of national identity, they began to wear national costumes after the 1980s and 1990s. However, some innovations have been made in the way of dressing. Some Hui women who find it too troublesome to wear headscarves flexibly choose to wear small white hats that originally belonged to men. 2. There are also some national costumes, which add color to the original traditional style considering that they live a happy socialist life. Every time a minority is identified, the image of them dressed in national costumes is carefully depicted by artists who participate in the study of ethnic areas and enter the field of mass communication. Especially after 1979, with the identification of "Jinuo", the last ethnic group among the 55 ethnic minorities, the ethnic identification work was basically completed, and a complete set of standard images of ethnic minorities' clothing gradually gained popularity through newspapers, posters, textbooks, stamps and other media forms. The national costumes established at that time, although "enhanced" a lot compared with the daily costumes of ethnic minorities in the early years, are still far from reaching the gorgeous level of national costumes today. 3, on the stage, colorful. The last gorgeous turn of ethnic costumes will have to wait until the reform and opening up and the people of China become rich. Compared with today, the biggest difference of the national costume after the national appraisal was completed 40 years ago is that it still needs to be worn in daily life and work. From the late 1980s to the 1990s, things began to change. With the increasing communication between ethnic minority areas and the outside world, most ethnic minorities no longer spend a lot of energy making traditional ethnic costumes they wear every day, but choose to buy modern clothes that are convenient, concise and practical. In daily life and production work, they also wear clothes they bought. Today, except for some ethnic minority areas with extremely special ecological environment and strong cultural continuity, most ethnic minorities have completely changed into modern clothes in their daily lives, and traditional ethnic costumes have completely lost their most basic practical functions. The significance of national costume has shrunk to the occasion of cultural performances and other foreign exhibitions, and this positioning puts forward higher requirements for the national identity of clothing. For actors on the stage, few people like clothes that are too simple. In order to show the effect, the national costumes in the new era are more and more colorful. 4. Gorgeous national costumes are easier to make and obtain than simple national costumes in the past because of the general national costume decorative materials produced on a large scale by mechanization. Therefore, under the dual function of functional requirements and convenient production, the national costume has finally become the colorful appearance we see today. However, in most cases, these gorgeous national costumes will only appear in various TV programs. References:
