服装起源的再研究

A further study on the origin of clothing

服装起源问题一直是服装文化研究领域无法回避的重要课题之一。基于文献学、考古学、人类学三条研究路线的困境分析基础上,并结合前人的研究成果,文章将古汉字字源学与哲学二维融合来深入研究服装起源的本质。研究表明:从古汉字字源学研究路线上看,与服装相关的古汉字可以映证服装源于携带工具的客观需要,并且其材质为皮质;从哲学研究路线上看,在人类进化的过程中服装的雏形起源于旧石器时代携带工具的原始皮质腰带,它是原始人类提高生存几率的重要工具,而成型的服装又是原始人类走出非洲,扩展生存空间的基础。

The origin of clothing has always been one of the most important topics in the field of apparel culture research.Based on the dilemma analysis of the three research routes including philology,archeology and anthropology,and combination of the previous research results,the essence of the origin of clothing was studied by combining ancient Chinese character and philosophy.The research shows that:from the research route of ancient Chinese etymology,the ancient Chinese characters associated with clothing can reflect the origin of clothing stemmed from objective needs of carrying tools whose material are cortex.From the perspective of philosophical research route,clothing prototype originated from carrying cortical belt during the Paleolithic in the process of human evolution.It is an important tool for primitive humans to increase their survival rate.And the formed clothing is the basis for them to get out of the Africa and expand their living space.
