摘要:
服饰文化是人类特有的文化现象。
由于中西方各民族的审美观念、着装理念和服饰礼仪的不同,从而形成了不同内涵、不同特色的中西方服饰文化。
本文共分为四部分。
第一部分主要介绍了中西服饰的不同特征以及为什么人要穿衣服,第二部分写中西方服饰的差异,第三部分写导致中西方服饰文化差异的原因,第四部分则写中西方服饰审美文化和着装理念。
通过以上简单的论述,最后得出结论,中西方服饰文化各具有丰富的内涵和鲜明的特色,她们都是人类祖先留下来的宝贵文化遗产,是世界文化的瑰宝。
与此同时,我们应该珍惜自己五千年的文明而不是贬低自己的文明。
促进和发展我们独特的民族服饰文化具有重要的意义。
为了实现我们中华民族的文化复兴和丰富整个世界的文化,让我们自信起来吧!
