When I was in middle school, when the first section of history class talked about the concept of Huaxia, I learned for the first time that Huaxia is because there is the beauty of the chapter of clothing is called Huaxia, and the greatness of the etiquette is called Xia. I remember Yu Qiuyu in one of his articles had articulated such an idea, because he felt that our Chinese culture is now manifested in front of the world, more and more vulgar, and the traditional Chinese culture in fact was not so, the Japanese culture from China's Tang, Korean culture from China's Ming, which has been the academic community's conclusions, and we are the origin of this culture and the suzerain country, the cultural discourse on the but We, the birthplace of culture and the sovereign state, are becoming more and more marginalized and vain in our cultural discourse. Just like that year, when South Korea applied for the inscription of the Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival, many of our countrymen were angry, but when we think back, our Dragon Boat Festival is only left with the Zongzi Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival, and after the anger, there is indeed a deep despondency. Some people say that a nation has its own national costume is not important, it does not matter, we only need to preserve our culture, good publicity is. But have we forgotten the saying "if the skin does not survive, the hair will be attached to it"? Moreover, the most important aspect of Chinese culture is Confucianism, and the most important aspect of Confucian culture is the culture of rituals and music, and rituals and music are a form of external appeal of this civilization, which is a very powerful force capable of attracting the conversion of others. I don't know if you have ever had such an experience, my first time in the church to watch the Mass, those costumes and music baked the kind of atmosphere makes me feel sacred and noble, so that I will be full of reverence for this culture and a sense of affinity, in fact, can not be ignored, a lot of religions is precisely the call of such rituals to achieve its everlasting to maintain a strong attraction. Similarly, the Chinese culture, also need this point, which is why Confucius has been emphasizing the importance of rituals and music, because of this ritual appeal, is unique Chinese civilization's source of attraction, culture for ordinary people, the role of rituals to be far greater than the dissemination of books. Many people have the impression that the Chinese dress is inconvenient for daily life, in fact, they only see the characteristics of the dress in the Chinese dress, the dress was not born for convenience, but for the momentum, the priest's robe, the monk's robe is not convenient, in some traditional festivals and ceremonial occasions, wearing Chinese dress, not only in order to find the roots of the nation, but also a collective rituals under the role of the cultural appeal, in the Gentiles, is a unique cultural form and export influence. In the case of the Gentiles, it is a unique cultural form and a way of exporting influence. Many young people like church weddings, in fact, like the kind of sacred and solemn and moving, but do not know, our own culture in the wedding ceremony was also very sacred and solemn and moving, once upon a time, the loss of culture leads to some of the wedding is now always engaged in the not in the foreign not foreign farce. In fact, the restoration of Chinese dress, the earliest or Yuan Shikai sacrifice to heaven, although his dream of the emperor against the trend of the times, but his recovery of traditional culture and attention, than Sun Yat-sen to do a good job, Mr. Sun Yat-sen stayed in the ocean for many years, as well as China's modern times by the century of the Great Powers of the ravages of the phenomenon of the unconscious began to their own culture is not confident or even a total negation of the phenomenon of a certain public want to abolish the Chinese characters is one of the examples. However, today, China is getting stronger and stronger, the rejuvenation of China has begun to mark the schedule, at this time, if we do not pay attention to the revival of our own culture, then we will not get and our economic status of a large country as the same cultural status, a country that can not do the export of culture, it is difficult to become a truly strong country. Some people say, the cheongsam, ma coat, zhongshan suit can also represent national costume ah, I think this view is not entirely true, cheongsam, ma coat, zhongshan suit has its own history, life wear Chinese style is not bad, but the real revival of Chinese civilization and the Chinese civilization with the Oriental etiquette system and the resulting cultural magnetism, the cheongsam, ma coat, zhongshan suit can not afford to bear the burden, because they can be beautiful can be convenient, but they are missing the cultural magnetism, the Chinese culture is the same, the Chinese culture is the same, the Chinese culture is the same. But they are missing the most important quality in the construction of cultural magnetism - momentum. As for life wear Hanbok, I think it really does not matter, Hanbok is also a regular dress, not all are wide robes and big sleeves, but because after all, the history of the interruption of more than three hundred years, in daily life Hanbok still need to evolve the space. But ceremonial occasions, wedding occasions, but can wear dresses, wide robe and big sleeves in this occasion is to reflect the momentum and birth. In fact, look at the history of Chinese dress from the Yellow Emperor to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the regular clothes have been evolving, but the dress is basically fixed, and dress and etiquette are complementary, have the opportunity to read the "Book of Rites" will find this point. Korean and Japanese culture, especially Japanese culture, is prevalent in today's world, and I have been thinking about this, and it pains me every time. It is difficult for people who have not traveled abroad and have not personally seen how the Japanese promote their culture in the world to feel this way. That should belong to our elegant and magnificent dress, martial arts, etiquette, only by the Japanese Tang Dynasty learned a skin, today let foreigners hit the gasp, a cherry blossom festival, wearing kimono locals than the Japanese are more, but also a lot of young people, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Japanese culture affects a lot of Europe and the United States of America's young people, especially after the 90s. And we a publicity of Chinese culture, either the official text of the book, or the big red and green square dance costumes, a little bit not attractive, not to mention, but also a little bit of self-confidence, in the aesthetics is simply vulgar off the dregs. Because of the lack of ceremonial cultural appeal, the propagandists themselves will not be proud of their own culture, so that foreigners look, on the contrary, Japan and South Korea is more like China, and we, more like barbarians. Finally, the question of whether to wear Hanbok, Hanbok said heavy is culture, said light is a piece of clothing only, wear or not to wear is completely personal freedom, just I think we should be more tolerant of Hanbok and respect, but also to Hanbok forerunners more understanding and praise. After all, Hanbok looks good or not, it is also something handed down from our ancestors, just like "children do not mind the mother ugly, the dog does not mind the poor". Those who say "wearing Chinese dress is not important, the spread of Chinese culture is important" people, I think you can think about it, you do not think it is important, there are many like me countless Chinese in a little bit of hard work, and you personally think it is important for you to spread the Chinese culture has really done a few things? How many things have you personally done to spread the Chinese culture that you think is important? When I used to give lectures on the Analects of Confucius, where were the people like you? At the beginning of everything, there is bound to be a lot of incomprehension, which is understandable, because after all, it is normal for people to be insecure about unfamiliar or forgotten things, but if the Wright Brothers, who invented the airplane, and Fulton, who invented the ship, had given up because of the ridicule and lack of understanding, would we still have the transportation convenience and accessibility we have today? More understanding, more sense of responsibility for the country and the nation, I put on the Chinese dress is not to cross, not to show me how much I have to be outstanding and innovative, I just, as a Chinese, a Chinese culture inheritors should do their duty.
