Hakka Clothing: "Living Fossil" Of The Excellent Culture Of Han Nationality

"

It mainly refers to the traditional clothing of Hakka people in three areas of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi, mainly composed of big shirt, big crotch trousers and headscarves.

Hakka clothing is an important symbol and carrier of Hakka culture. It inherits the Central Plains culture since the Han Dynasty, and is a living fossil of the Han nationality's excellent culture.

Wei Jinhua, vice president of Guangdong Meizhou collectors association, told reporters 21 days about the cultural connotation of Hakka clothing.

In order to welcome the "International Museum Day", the "Wei Jinhua Tibetan Hakka dress exhibition" is on display at the Hakka Museum here, attracting tourists from home and abroad, and also arousing Hakka collective memory.

The historical materials have proved that Hakka clothing has a history of more than one thousand years. The Hakka ancestors moved south in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and took the outstanding Han ethnic culture and art to the migratory places.

This is an important part.

This exhibition has 80 traditional Hakka costumes, which are the essence of Wei Jinhua's collection over the years. They are divided into five parts: the big shirt, the big crotch trousers, the outer gown, the vest and the pleated skirt.

In the exhibition hall, the majority of these costumes were concentrated in the late Qing Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China. However, in those years, whether they were shirts, trousers or skirts, they had a common feature. They seemed to be baggy and relaxed.

Wei Jinhua told reporters that the "Leniency" characteristic of Hakka clothing is in line with the characteristics of the ancient Chinese clothing of the Central Plains.

In addition, Hakka costumes also used a large number of traditional auspicious culture patterns in the Central Plains, such as peony symbolizing riches and luxury, carp as a symbol of fish jumping, and treasure as a symbol of gold and jade.

Wei Jinhua also said that the most representative of Hakka costumes is the big shirt, which is very popular with Hakka people.

The "big Lapel" refers to the way of opening the garment. The traditional way of opening the Hakka clothing is mainly three kinds of "big cap", "lute collar" and "double collar".

Because the big shirt is mainly blue and black in terms of hue, it is also known as "blue shirt". Hakka "blue shirt" has become a symbol of Hakka culture.

People in the Hakka area like to wear big shirts because they are simple, practical, spacious and simple.

Hakka people work hard all year long. They are easy to move in and out of the fields. The blue and black tones are dirty and washable, but do not show publicity.

The "big shirt" carries Hakka people's thrifty, simple, industrious and tolerant personality characteristics, and expresses the customs and customs of Hakka people.

Wei Jinhua said.

Wei Jinhua, 56, did this year.

The collection of clothing has been over 10 years. In his memory, his mother wore a big shirt in 90s of last century. This is also a typical Hakka woman's image in many people's impression.

In the past 20 years, the traditional costumes bearing ethnic history and culture have gradually disappeared from people's perspective.

In the face of Hakka's "blue shirt" fading away from the current situation, Wei Jinhua expressed the hope that in the form of exhibitions, more people's attention will be aroused. Through research and inheritance, traditional clothes can have new vitality.

"If culture is built up by life, the dress itself represents life. Hakka clothing is undoubtedly an important window to study Hakka culture."

Wei Jinhua said.
