中國服飾（英）

　　“中華之美”叢書圍繞中華優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化這一主題，擇取其中15個專題分別加以介紹。這15個專題，包括以思想、智慧、藝術為主的“無形遺產”，以工藝、器物為主的“有形遺產”，以衣食住行樂為主的“民俗生活”，它們精心構架，有機結合，勾勒出中國文化的一個總體面貌，并反映出“中華文化的理念、智慧、氣度、神韻”。 中國人習慣把日常生活概括為“衣食住行”，服飾排在了一位，可見它在生活中的重要位置。在這個歷史悠久的衣冠大國，從古至今，伴隨著民族間的相互融合和東西方文化的交流，服飾的樣式和穿著習俗始終在不斷演變。 幾乎從服飾出現(xiàn)的那天起，人們的社會身份、生活習俗、審美情趣，以及種種文化觀念就已融入其中了。服飾的面貌是社會歷史風貌直觀、寫實的反映，從這個意義上說，服飾的歷史也是一部生動的文明發(fā)展史。 In the Chinese way of describing the necessities of life， clothing ranks at the top of “clothing， food， shelter and means of travel”， which shows its important place in life. In this country with a long history of garments and ornaments， with integration of ethnic groups and cultural exchange between the East and West， clothing styles and customs have been evolving since ancient times. Almost from the day when clothes emerged， people’s social status， living customs， aesthetical tastes and various cultural concepts were integrated into them. Clothes are the most straightforward and realistic reflection of social and historical scenes. In this sense， the clothing history is also a vivid history of the development of civilization.
