文化认同与民族服饰的流变

Cultural Recognition and the Change of Ethnic Finery

中国历史一个最显著的特点就是从很早的时间起,各个民族在通过各种方式联系与交往的基础上,逐步形成了文化认同与政治认同的互动机制。在民族的生存和发展过程中,民族服饰往往以直观的方式参与并反映民族间的联系和交往。历史上有三次突出的民族服饰的流变:一次是赵武灵王的胡服骑射;一次是唐代的开放唐装;还有一次是清代的旗装。民族服饰在彰显浓郁的民族和地域特色的同时,还是多民族国家文化认同的外在符号。

An outstanding feature in Chinese history is that from very early of time, each ethnic group had formed the interactive system of cultural and political recognition based on the touch and communication between them. In the course of surviving and developing, ethnic finery tended to take part in the communication and reflect their relation. There were three changes in ethnic finery in the history, i. e. ethnic finery with riding horse and toxophily advocated by Zhao Wu Lingwang; opening finery in Tang Dynasty; Qi finery in Qing Dynasty. While displaying a rich ethnical and regional character, the ethnic finery is also the symbol of cultural recognition in a country with multi-ethnic groups.
