Why is the school uniform of the Republic of China, the most beautiful school uniform, not used now?

During the Republic of China, old and new ideas collided violently, and talents came forth in large numbers. Young people's pursuit of their own freedom and study has become their most basic demand. At that time, many national revolutionary leaders had the experience of studying abroad, so they brought a lot of western culture and integrated it into the traditional culture of China, among which the uniforms of the Republic of China were one of the representatives.

However, with the development of the times, the uniforms of the Republic of China gradually disappeared in the long river of history, but people still have not forgotten them. That was not the case. Some time ago, the graduation season ushered in. Many college students put on uniforms of the Republic of China and filmed retro graduation photo. Then the problem is coming. Since everyone likes the uniform of the Republic of China so much, why not use it now? Before analyzing this, let's briefly review the styles of school uniforms in the Republic of China.

The first is the girl model. Women's school uniforms in the Republic of China were initially divided into two styles. 1 style is a combination of Chinese and western styles, forming a distinctive "skirt style". As shown in the picture, the upper body of the school uniform is a short dark coat (dark blue or gray), the hem is shorter than the hips, the cuffs are shorter, and the wrists are exposed. The collar and sleeves are decorated with exquisite lace. The lower body is a pleated skirt longer than the knee, with a pair of small leather shoes, which is fashionable and generous.

The second is a school uniform with cheongsam as the main part, also called "short coat and long skirt". As shown in the picture, in fact, this school uniform looks like a cheongsam, but because it is a student, the looseness is adjusted appropriately, and the long openings on both sides are adjusted to short openings, which looks dignified and generous. Finally, according to their own habits, with small leather shoes or cloth shoes, you can exude the unique oriental beauty of China girls.

Then look at the boys' money. Compared with female models, male models pay less attention. Generally speaking, boys wear "improved Zhongshan suit", with straight lapels close to their necks, seven buttons in the middle arranged in turn, pockets on both sides of the suit for students to load things, and straight suit pants and polished small leather shoes to make the young boys look more and more handsome.

When men and women wearing such school uniforms walk on campus and on the street, it really makes people shine, which is why countless young people are willing to wear it to take "retro photos" today. However, why did such excellent school uniforms gradually disappear in the long river of history?

The first reason is not conducive to unified management. For a simple example, if we really want to follow the uniform of the Republic of China now, should primary school students, junior high school students or college students wear it? It is inconvenient for primary school students to wear it, and it does not reflect the charm of the book. Instead, it covers up the child's innocent childlike interest. Junior and senior high school students dress too adult; Let college students wear it. They really don't take it seriously. After all, wearing a school uniform every day is not the same as taking pictures occasionally.

The second reason is the change of times and aesthetics. Although we all know that the uniforms in the Republic of China were more elegant and temperament than today's sportswear, in the final analysis, they are only a shadow of the old times, and no matter how beautiful they are, they are not the mainstream. Forcing them to "go back to the ancients" will have a certain ideological influence on children in the new era, which is not worth the candle. Similarly, in recent years, some people have advocated "using Hanfu as a school uniform", which is actually equally difficult to operate.

In fact, many designers have developed a variety of "improved uniforms of the Republic of China", and those who are really interested will buy them themselves. There is no need to deliberately ask everyone to wear them. Besides, students' primary task in school is to study. There is really no need to spend too much time dressing up. Wide and comfortable sportswear is also a good choice, don't you think?
