A Study of the Evolution of the Costumes and Personal Adornments in the Ming and Qing Dynasties from the Perspective of the Interaction between Rituals and Customs
The Ming and Qing dynasties were an important period in the evolution of traditional Chi-nese costumes and personal adornments.This period not only witnessed the resurgence of Chinese costumes and personal adornments and the succession and alternation of the dynasties but also reflec-ted somewhat the collision and fusion of Chinese and Western cultures during the early modern era.The reestablishment of the rituals of costumes and personal adornments during the early Ming dynas-ty,the violation of the rituals of costumes and personal adornments in the middle and late Ming dy-nasty,the implementation of the policy of"changing the hair style and costume style into the ones of the Qing dynasty"in the early Qing dynasty,and the influence of the Western learning and style on the Chinese costumes and personal adornments in the early 20th century all demonstrate the intimate interaction between costumes and personal adornments and the dynastic governance,the local commu-nities and people's life.A holistic analysis of the evolution of costumes and personal adornments of the Ming and Qing dynasties and their social implementation mechanisms from the perspective of the interaction between rituals and customs,especially during the stable and transitional periods of China,will help us understand the roles of costumes and personal adornments in the aspects of cultural iden-tity and ethnic fusion in the process of our national unification,which not only provides us with an op-portunity to observe the changes in the traditional Chinese society,but also helps us understand the current social development and national identity through providing some valuable historical experience and cultural wisdom for promoting the on-going construction of Chinese-style modernization.
