Speaking of the military coat, it originally originated in the United Kingdom in Europe, which is in the north of Europe, so the winter is relatively cold. Especially in the army, when soldiers want to march outdoors, they must wear clothing that can withstand the cold, so that soldiers can fight or patrol with peace of mind.
Saying goes:
"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass have gone first."
Marching and fighting is not just about food and grass first, but in summer, it only needs plenty of food and water. Winter not only requires plenty of food and water, but also ensures that soldiers can dress warmly so that soldiers can have the strength to win battles.
However, the general clothing is not very warm,
The local British army developed a cotton jacket that was much larger than ordinary clothes and very warm
This is the original "military coat".
The military coat probably appeared in the First World War in 1901, the military coat used green as the main color, because green is the closest to the color of the plant, and it can be well camouflaged when fighting,

。
Military coats as clothing are not only used in the army to protect against the cold
，

Military coats are both warm and convenient to wear
It soon spread to other countries, and later, many national militaries in the world became popular to wear military coats.
Military coats as clothes are really very practical, from the last century military coats have been popular for hundreds of years, deeply loved by the people,
But now it is gradually being eliminated.
"Military coats" are popular in China
During the First World War, Yuan Shikai found that many armies in European countries wore such military coats, which were both warm and convenient to wear in winter, which greatly reduced the time to wear clothes. subsequently
Yuan Shikai transformed the military coat according to the size of the Asian into a new type of military coat suitable for the Asian body type
However, because china was in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society at that time, agriculture, industry and economy were very backward at that time, and cotton production was very low, but the production of military coats required a large amount of cotton. If all the soldiers were wearing military coats, it would be a huge expense, and in the early twentieth century China would not have been able to come up with enough money to buy them.
Hence the military coat
It could only be equipped with officers with relatively high official positions, which was still a relatively valuable item at that time
After the success of the Xinhai Revolution, Dr. Sun Yat-sen also wore a military coat to worship the Ming Tombs. The popularization of military coats was after the founding of New China, the country was stable, industry and agriculture developed rapidly, and the economy began to become active.
In the 1960s and 1970s, military coats were commonly seen on the street.
Because the style of the military coat has been modified, more like people's daily dress, it is more loved by the people
。 Military coats are worn by soldiers and are very resistant to cold. For soldiers, military coats are of unique significance to them.
It's a faith

。 It was not until the 1990s that military coats were gradually replaced. At the time,
The military coat was an influential sign of that era
The story of the "army coat" and the War of Resistance Against Japan
In Fujian Province, there is a memorial hall for revolutionary history, and the curator of this museum once introduced: "In a battle in the late 1930s, a lieutenant general named Norihide Abe killed by a lieutenant general named Norihide Abe during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in a battle in the late 1930s.
After the battle, the victorious officer of the Eighth Route Army called Yang Chengwu and said, "Tell you the good news: Yan'an sent a congratulatory telegram saying that you had killed Lieutenant General Norihide Abe of Japan and congratulated us. Yang Chengwu was very satisfied, so he ordered his subordinates to look for the relics of Lieutenant General Abe Norihide at the scene after the battle. Finally, the warriors found Lieutenant General Abe's military coat in the ruins, which was intact, and the military coat was embedded with two collar badges with golden stars and a knife embedded with gold and silver.
At that time, after Abe Norihide was killed and was known to the top leader of the CPC Central Committee at that time, the leader was very happy. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China immediately called the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.
Refute the Kuomintang's slanderous remarks against the Eighth Route Army at that time
'Swim without hitting'. Chiang Kai-shek then sent a congratulatory telegram to the Eighth Route Army, congratulating the Eighth Route Army on killing the Japanese lieutenant general, and the great man rewarded the military coat to the translators around him.
Later, Japan's Asahi Shimbun reported: "The death of a lieutenant general-level commander on the front line of combat is rare in the history of the Japanese army. 'and lamented:'
Japan's protectorate flower has withered
’。
But in China,
The killing of a lieutenant general-level commander by the Eighth Route Army is a good thing that inspires the morale of the army
Let the masses of the people have confidence in the victory of the revolution
"This is the story of the army coat and the War of Resistance Against Japan.
The collision of times and times
Military coats were previously only used in the army, and were primarily used by soldiers to withstand the cold,1
In 965, the government abolished the rank system, and the army, navy, and air force were called "military civilian clothes" dominated by green.
In the era of "all the people are soldiers",
The people's enthusiasm for military coats is particularly high
Every household has one or two military coats, whether men, women, young or old, spring, summer, autumn or winter.
At that time when the intellectual youth went to the countryside, they were sent to various remote areas.
At that time, the wave of military coats in the cities was also brought to the countryside and remote areas by intellectual youth
。 After the reform and opening up, China's economy has grown rapidly, foreign cultural customs have gradually introduced into China, skirts, jeans, suits, sportswear and other clothing have also been introduced to China. Military coats gradually withdrew from the market.
However, fashion was like a reincarnation, and in the mid-1980s, military coats began to become popular in the market. But at this time, the military coat was not like before, but made a little change and adjustment accordingly, more practical and cheap. At this time, the military coat is not as formal and solemn as before,
The military coat was more casually worn
, catering to the ideas and psychology of young people at that time.
However, it was not until the early 1990s that the military coat seemed to gradually withdraw from the public's vision, and more choices were made of cheap and comfortable leather clothes at that time.
Clothes that make more people affordable have become popular again, and people gradually think that military coats are becoming more and more earthy.
It seems that each era has its own characteristics. The times are constantly progressing, the economy is constantly developing, people's living standards are constantly improving, people's thinking is constantly changing, and the requirements for clothing are not the same.
Until now, the variety of clothing on the market has made people pick their eyes, and now people not only pursue practicality, but also pursue beauty. Before there was such a sentence, everyone should have heard:
"There is nothing you can't do, only what you can't think of",
Especially now, the women's group, their costumes keep up with the trend of the times, and even lead the fashion trend.
Although the military coat is now out of people's field of vision,
However, in some variety shows, we sometimes see stars wearing military coats, and military coats that have been popular for hundreds of years have their significance and value
The "military coat" should be integrated with contemporary aesthetic culture
Although the military coat has not disappeared, the masses of the people have forgotten it.
As a clothing that has been popular for hundreds of years in the last century, it has a unique meaning of existence
But the costumes change very quickly
Military coats are also not quite in line with today's popular aesthetics
When people have better choices, they will abandon military coats to buy other inexpensive clothes.
The economic conditions are getting better and better, people have more and more funds at their disposal, materials are rich, they care more about the style and color of clothing, not only pursue warmth, but also military coats are too bulky and make people inconvenient.
The times are constantly advancing, weapons are constantly advancing, and ideas are constantly changing.
What you wear should also change with the aesthetics of the times
Nothing is set in stone
, whether dynamic or static. Even if it is a military coat that has been popular for hundreds of years, it has finally been eliminated.
What is old and not adapted to contemporary developments should be improved or replaced
In this way, it can keep pace with the times
