Things are all-like, they look like yan concubines, and they are always natural. The average person relies on proper clothing to boost their self-confidence. Therefore, female thrush fu powder, brocade dress, non-closed body, is actually to increase beauty, self-confidence to please people. This is the common sentiment of man, and there is no need to despise it. Of course, there are very exceptions, she does not have to resort to external modifications to come out of nature, this is only a very small minority. Tang shi wrote that Lady Yu Guo was an example: "Lady Yu Guo accepted the lord's favor, and Ping Ming rode into the palace gate." But the fat powder stained the color, lightly sweeping the moth's eyebrow towards the supreme. "On the one hand, Madame is born beautiful and full of self-confidence; on the other hand, she is pampered and arrogant, and she is full of spirit. This is very human, but it is a scenery of the Tang Dynasty.

Food, clothing, shelter and travel, these four, clothing is the first. Clothing is not covered, survival is difficult to continue, talk about anything else, so it is the first. In his early years, he read Huang Zhongze's poem, "The whole family is in the wind, and the clothes in September are not cut." A list of clothes, sorrow, and misery for a long time. Young and poor, empathetic. I remember that when MinDu was old, every time there was a new time, the eldest and youngest had to change into new clothes, and the annual festival was frequent, and the mother was worried. The mother has five boys and one woman at a time of hardship, the family has no food, and she can wear new clothes at the age! Whenever this happened, my mother always responded silently, picking up the lights late at night, renovating the old and piecing together. In the joy of the new orthodox road, there is actually a splendid "new" dress! It is the "mother's hand line" in the shadow of the midnight light. The years are miserable and the feelings are deep.

Interpersonal communication, the first emphasis on instrumentation. The so-called dignified person is not referred to by the current "appearance" and "famous brand". It is said that temperament and cultivation reflect personality, but they are not born by themselves, and they are cultivated in many lines later, and neat and proper clothing is indeed a good recipe for making up for clumsiness. In fact, people's cultivation and demeanor do not need to be branded, nor do they need to be dressed in brocade and light fur, which is naturally appropriate. This is true in public, as well as in private past. That year in Vienna, my best friend Yan Shan bid farewell to our visit and invited me and two other friends at a high-end restaurant. I solemnly tied my collar to the meeting. Yan Shan was very touched: "You are so formal! "This is not a general courtesy, but a sign of respect for the host.

Today's society is gradually becoming one with the world. Suits and shoes, the world is free, it is about the appearance, and it is not the admiration of those people who criticize. Recently, some advocates of "national service" have moved out of the ancient style of Eguan Bo Belt, which is not modern or ancient, not in the Middle and not in the West, and stealing is quite dismissive. In fact, the country is not big or small, people are not divided into Chinese and foreign, the same suits and ties, the same peace of mind. Abandoning suits because of "patriotism" is too narrow. That year, Mr. Wen Rumin will be the head of the department of Chinese, and he feels the current atmosphere of lightness and contempt, and has spoken to me about the necessity of some ceremonies, such as solemn occasions, welcome or graduation ceremonies, thesis defense, academic conferences, including the professors' meetings of the whole department, etc., should be formally dressed. I agree. Later, I retired, and I wonder if he fulfilled it seriously in office?

At this end, Hong Kong is worth learning. For Hong Kong Island public officials and corporate employees, men wear formal ties during their work, and women generally wear high heels and skirts. Every day, it is a common practice. That year, Mr. Guo Feng of Taiwan invited a banquet at the Tsim Sha Tsui Peninsula Restaurant, and special attention was paid to attending in full dress. On a hot day, I still "went into the countryside and followed the customs", and the tie leather shoes gladly attended the meeting. In contrast, in the region, in recent years, public servants have paid considerable attention to appearance, and there are many formal occasions with dress requirements, which seem solemn and solemn, and the civil response is also good.

But outside of the political and business circles, it seems to be less exquisite. In particular, the gathering of literati, which is said to be the most cultured, is grinning widely, and even deliberately sloppy. I have attended a number of poets' gatherings, most of them dressed casually, with the intention of not trimming the edges, and those who are in formal costumes often seem awkward. Some people even deliberately pretend to show off, behave obediently, people are accustomed to it, and they are not surprised. As for the art world and the performing arts world, it is the norm to regard "no trimming". For clothing, my concept tends to be conservative, I always think that the academic world emphasizes etiquette, the poetry world should be elegant, and although the show business world knows that it is colorful and colorful, it should not behave obediently.

Clothing is not a trivial matter, mostly related to the rise and fall of society. We can find a grand Tang Dynasty from the costumes of Tang Sancai's ladies, and we can also see the prosperity of the day from the clothing of those who offered people in the Dunhuang Grottoes. For this reason, I think that although clothing is a daily routine, it can be glimpsed from the fashion of the times, and the prosperity and decline of society should not be taken lightly. Social unrest, survival loses its normality, of course, can not take care of the end of the instrument. Generally speaking, the society is stable, the spirit is calm, the people's hearts are relaxed, and the costumes are also presented in a hundred and one hundred, and everyone thinks that they are normal and no longer fussy. That's what I see right now.

In early spring and February, the swallow garden welcomes the spring flowers in full bloom. It was also at this time that Yuko Shima returned from Osaka on spring break. Yuko Shima returned home, and the annual "International" dumpling contest officially kicked off. At this time, the mountain peach has bloomed, and the forsythia is budding. The lake ice is beginning to melt, and the weeping willows are green. The Spring Festival of Minghe Garden is anxious, but it has become a sea of gold. This is our annual spring party. In fact, the so-called pie contest is an excuse, and the annual reunion of teachers and students is the purpose. On this day, the girls all appeared in costume. Most of them were dressed in cheongsam, with coiled hair and shiny earrings. Fragrant sideburns, full of pearls. It is said that it is a competition pie, but it is a grand costume show.

The Analects of Advanced Has an important teacher-student conversation. Confucius talked to his disciples about his life's interests. Zi Lu, Ran You, gong Xihua talked, and it was Zeng Hao's turn. Zeng Haoyu shocked the four seats: "Twilight spring, spring clothes are completed, crowns are five or six, boys are six or seven, bathing, wind is dancing, and singing and returning." The teacher listened very much in agreement: "The master sighed: I and Dianye! "The master, who has always paid attention to etiquette, originally advocated the beauty of clothing.
