Differences In The Han Clothing Circle

“Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.” (Fashion Quotes 1) The words once spoken by Henry David Thoreau are politically correct. People often look at Elizabethan‘s choice of fashion and ridicule everything about it from the hair, down to the stockings. As it appears, fashion has always been a broad topic of discussion in the world. Whether it is NY Fashion Week or a Macy’s fashion show, fashion is something that has always been an eye catcher. Fashion has been around for many years, and whether we know it or not, Elizabethan fashion has influenced the way modern fashion is today.

For the past hundred years the need for clothing increased since the number of people of keeps growing. As the years go on, producers must find new ways to produce more clothing to make more profit and keep up with demand. Before people would either have to ride all the way into town to have tailors make their clothes, or have someone at home make the clothing for them. But as the years progressed, methods have changed dramatically.

The Han Dynasty was the second imperial dynasty right after the Qin Dynasty, so there are major similarities between the two. One of those is the social structure of the country. The system consists of three tiers. Bureaucrats and government officials are on top, skilled laborers such as farmers and blacksmiths were the middle class, and servants and merchants were the bottom class. The country was ran by the Emperor and his/her royal family. Importantly the social class did not impact the wealth or power of each individual or family, it only indicated their status. This is how order was established throughout this civilization.

In conclusion, the way people dress is indeed important. It has been important from the beginning of the ancient times until today. As much as we would like to believe that Hans Christian Andersen’s interpretation of “dress is not what is important,” there is absolutely no way that this is possible for us. We are shallow as a whole. Much like the Emperor was in The Emperor’s New Clothes. Works Cited

In William Golding’s, Lord of the Flies, the recurring mention of the boy's’ clothing or lack thereof shows their attachment to society and rules. At first, the boys are wearing uniforms and are fully clothed, this represents their initial unity and regard for rules. As the boys’ time on the island grows longer, their growing lack of clothing mirrors their growing disregard for rules, and ultimately their descent into savagery. Golding shows that… through this evolution.

Clothing has existed for many centuries and has evolved over time. At one time, clothes were made very simple; over time the stages of developing clothes has drastically changed. The design and style of clothes changed as well.

Clothing styles have always had a close connection to developments in clothing creation. The two are inextricably linked by public demand, fabric availability, and the wealth of people to afford them. Even back to the Industrial Revolution and Renaissance, when people began to have more clothing choices, one can see the relationship between what the people need or want and what the manufacturers create.

Fashion is very important in modern day society, and can be seen all around. Most of what people know about fashion today came from the fashion during the renaissance. From the vibrant fabrics to the spectacular jewels, renaissance fashion has been thoroughly threaded in the fashion of modern society. Modern day women often wear shorty, fun gowns, tightly fitting jeans, and lower cut tops. Popular fashion trends for men in modern society include saggy jeans, V-neck shirts, and stylish watches. “A fashion is merely a form of ugliness so unbearable that we are compelled to alter it every six months” (Oscar Wilde). Fashion in modern day society is ever changing, but most changes do not stray too far from the original product.

In ancient times, art was often made to become a burial object for the tomb of a respected individual. The Chinese are apart of this tradition and this mingqi or "spirit object" of a dog belongs to the religious concept of following the deceased into the afterlife. The artist of Mingqi (standing dog) is unknown but the period of the artwork falls around 250 to 200 BCE, during the Han Dynasty. Though much is unknown or undefined about this work, the visual components reveal the aim behind the artist's choices. The Han artist focuses on the media, ceramic techniques, and composition to fulfill the role of a protection vessel.

Clothes have changed in the many years of life. We have different materials, different fabrics that can either be cheap or expensive. Back in the 19th century, clothing was much more difficult to find. It wasn’t as simple as slipping on a pair of pants. Back then, people had Ready-made clothing which fit poorly although it was modern and affordable. Finding the perfect outfit was always difficult in the early ages, but now we have the ability to find clothes that

Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Chinese people.There are two different types of Hanfu, 上衣下裳制, which is two pieces of clothes, and 深衣, which is one long piece of clothing. The main features of Hanfu include: a crossed collar, having the front of the collar going to the right, and having all buttons and bands hidden. I think that it is important to keep the tradition of wearing Hanfu during important events because it helps everyone as a culture feel closer to one another, as well as letting people nowadays even if just a little bit, see how the ancestors

Ever since their invention many centuries ago, clothes have been used as a way of communicating. The message communicated relies on a number of factors including the social background of both the communicator and the receiver, and the context in which the message is communicated. Although at times the exact message or symbolism one is trying to portray may not be clear, it is evident that clothing has long been embraced as one of the best ways to project one’s desired personal image to those around them.

Shanghai Tang has been in the business of selling high quality retail items for men and women, clothing and accessories, since 1994. Their designs have been based upon Chinese cultural influence while also being modern and wearable in markets around the world.

Shanghai Tang’s competition is about to establish a market presence in China and in order to stay ahead in the game; Le Manse needs to figure out how to expand the existing customer base. Also, Le Manse’s long time creative partner, Joanne Ooi, is leaving

I agree with Simmel’s theories on fashion today. I feel as though fashion is a way of not only expressing yourself but also letting people know “who you are” in a way. Some people find it extremely important to dress in brand names because it makes them appear “rich”. However, some people who have millions of rupees dress ordinary and do not care to wear name brands as long as it looks good on them. So sometimes it can give people the wrong impression of where you stand based on how you are dressed. I would never judge someone by their clothes but when I do see someone wearing high end clothing i do say to myself “wow they must have a lot of money”. But this might not be true because some people wear very expensive clothes and shoes but in really they’re debt because of this. I feel like people should wear what they can afford and not try to present
