In teaching, Professor Huamei always insists on teaching undergraduates in the front line. She takes every class seriously and is never late. In the past 32 years, I have never missed a class, whether it is windy or rainy, or when I have difficulties at home. In the classroom, we should not only adhere to the traditional teaching methods, but also use blackboard writing to teach vividly, and at the same time adopt the way of crossing with multimedia to teach vividly and easily, so that students can learn as much knowledge as possible in pleasure. The main courses taught are "China Clothing History", "Clothing Culture" and "China Arts and Crafts History".
2. Teaching concept and teaching content reform
(1) Pay attention to the update of teaching content and keep pace with the times.
Professor Huamei has been teaching in colleges and universities for 32 years and has rich teaching experience. She never sticks to the rules in teaching content and teaching methods, but strives for innovation. She keeps abreast of the latest scientific research achievements at home and abroad and the new trends and trends of related disciplines, and supplements students with new knowledge in time in combination with the teaching content. The textbooks she compiled are also advancing with the times, constantly improving and constantly putting forward new ideas and new viewpoints. For example, the first edition of "History of Clothing in China" wrote 1949, the second edition added a chapter to 1997, and the third edition was written in 2007, adding a chapter "Clothing at the beginning of the 20th century". Although 2 1 century is only seven or eight years, it is indeed a very beneficial teaching and research work to continue to write the history of clothing in time. This practice is of great significance for students to know the changes and fashions of clothing in time, and also promotes the construction of courses. After 1996, the teaching achievement of clothing culture won the first prize in Tianjin, the teaching achievement of national colleges and universities, and in 2009, the textbook construction of clothing history won the second prize in Tianjin, the outstanding teaching achievement of national colleges and universities.
(2) The theory course is not limited to the form, but insists on the method of "coming in and taking out" to increase students' interest in learning the theory course through on-site teaching.
The teaching of clothing history belongs to theoretical teaching, but in order to cultivate students' comprehensive ability, Huamei draws lines according to ancient paintings in self-made teaching materials, and then lets students copy these clothing illustrations according to the course order, so that students can understand and master the clothing styles in different periods and effectively cultivate students' practical ability. On the other hand, in addition to classroom teaching, Professor Huamei leads undergraduates into China History Museum, Palace Museum, Tianjin Art Museum, Yangliuqing New Year Pictures Exhibition Hall and other places every year. Combining with physical teaching, it not only increases students' intuitive feelings, but also enables students to have a deeper and more vivid understanding of China culture, greatly improving students' interest in theoretical courses and drawing sufficient nutrients from them.
(3) Insist on promoting teaching through scientific research.
In order to improve the level of theoretical teaching, Professor Huamei insists on taking undergraduates to engage in scientific research, tirelessly provides professional writing guidance for undergraduates, and revises it word by word, which embodies her selfless character and hard work spirit! Dozens of undergraduates have published papers in official journals such as Facing Art, Essays on Development Strategy and Outlook of Clothing Culture. This "learning by doing" method, which was created by Professor Huamei, combined with encouragement but not forgetting strict requirements, effectively cultivated students' perseverance and curiosity.
In order to broaden students' horizons, on the one hand, she actively contacted and held various special lectures, on the other hand, she also actively organized students to participate in various professional forums, such as "clothing culture and modernization concept", so that students could have all-round contact with information and ensure that students could master first-hand information. Organize necessary social practice as much as possible. For example, in 2009, in Tianjin, when designing costumes for people on floats participating in the National Day parade, not only young teachers and graduate students, but also undergraduates were boldly brought, so that students could get exercise in practice. At the same time, we pay attention to the expansion and use of teaching bases, and the undergraduate students have achieved remarkable results.
3. Teaching art and methods
(1) In teaching, we pay attention to the advantages of traditional teaching methods. The students say that gorgeous teachers are full of energy and passion, with refined words and reasonable layout, which can always make students listen attentively and learn real knowledge. Huamei pays attention to using flexible teaching methods to drive students to think, encourage students to participate, make the classroom atmosphere active, and the teaching effect is very good.
(2) Using modern teaching methods scientifically, reasonably and effectively. Over the years, a large number of exquisite slides and related documentaries have been collected and arranged, and a full set of teaching ppt has been produced; Organize, collect and sort out a large number of books and electronic materials as teaching reference materials; Take advantage of the network to overcome technical problems, upload materials to supporting online courses, provide online support, and answer questions raised by teachers and students in time. All teaching resources are open and students can download them freely, which expands the teaching scope.
(3) The teaching videos of the main courses have all been made and uploaded to the online courses. The video is clear and high resolution, and can be downloaded from play online, which is convenient for students to study and review systematically.

Research on Clothing Culture
The research focus of this direction is to stand on the height of human culturology, combine costume culture with other natural sciences, and study costume culture from social, historical, folk-custom and economic aspects with modern methods and theories, so as to make costume culture a three-dimensional interdisciplinary research system and explore a brand-new way of teaching and research of costume culture. From the beginning of 2 1 century, the most needed scientific research projects need to be all-human, multidisciplinary and close to people's lives, and costume culturology has these characteristics.
Research on Fashion Design Creation
Based on the research theory of clothing culture, combined with modern fashion concepts, theory is integrated with practice. Or constantly improve the theoretical height in innovative design, develop fashion ideas and improve the quality of life and aesthetic taste on the premise of satisfying the aesthetic taste of the public. In 2008, the "Exhibition of Cultural Achievements of Huamei Costume" was exhibited at the 50th anniversary celebration of Tianjin Normal University. Invited by Nankai University in the same year, he went to Thailand in 2009.
Research on the Concept of Clothing Education
Combining with the actual teaching situation, according to the market demand for fashion design talents, we should reform and adjust the teaching methods, explore new ways of "school-enterprise cooperation", and seek new ways for fashion culture and fashion design creation to serve the society and transform the real productive forces, so as to make fashion culture education more flexible and adapt to the market demand. For example, in cooperation with Tianjin Phoenix Clothing Co., Ltd., Ying Da Leather Clothing Co., Ltd. and other professional units, we have opened up teaching bases, organized popular science books on clothing culture, and cultivated students' organizational and innovative abilities from practical teaching.
