On July 16, 2022, CCTV CCTV4 launched a large -scale season auction cultural program "Encountering Civilization", which is of great significance in the current situation of global politics, culture, and economic changes. The theme of the "Infraceed Civilization" program is "Chinese and foreign civilization exchanges and mutual learning". The angle is unique. Through experts' description, wonderful display, scientific and technological vision, etc., the audience deeply understands the splendid and brilliant Chinese and foreign civilizations in the show.

1. The program presents the mutual learning of Chinese and Western civilization with the theme of "clothing", and the intention is high

Each issue of "In the Civilization" will be selected for each other, one middle, one, and two civilization themes. In the "Huacai Clothing Zhang Chinese Clothing and Western Clothing" program, with the gorgeous appearance of the seven sets of Chinese and foreign restoration costumes in the opening show, the aesthetics of Chinese clothing and Western costumes, the magic of craftsmanship, and the fruit of mutual learning are always one. The audience presented. Clothing is a cultural carrier full of humanistic connotation, aesthetic interest, and social heritage. The clothing of different times represents the social culture, spiritual appearance, and aesthetic pursuit of different periods. The mutual blending of Eastern and Western clothing has a long history. The "Civilization" is one of the themes of "clothing" as one of the east -west civilization comparison. It is very appropriate and necessary. It is an important chapter in the long -scrolls of Chinese and foreign civilizations.

The difference between the formation of oriental and western clothing arts is more than a thousand years by AD. Because humans in the primitive society period, many living environments and behaviors are roughly the same. For example, with grass leaves as a skirt, the image of the mountain ghost in the "Nine Songs" in the east is proved: "If anyone is a man, he is brought with a female Luo" or "Du Heng with Shi Lanxi"; "Nine Songs" The goddess Shao Siqi's life in "" The lotus is brought with, and the coming came and suddenly died "; in other chapters in" Chu Ci ", there are also" making the lotus and the clothing, and the hibiscus thinks ". In the West, the most typical is Adam and Eve in Greek mythology. They lived in the beautiful Garden of Eden, naked naked. Later, due to the temptation of snakes, they swallowed the forbidden fruit and felt that they should put on clothes. So he reached out and pulled off the fig branches, surrounded by the waist, and there was the earliest plant skirt of Westerners.

The differences between Chinese and Western culture were born after human beings were separated from obscurity, "Adam Eve had a brilliant eyes after eating banned fruit." Isn't this a sign of the improvement of human civilization? During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it was famous for its implicitly prestigious bronze wares, while the West was proud of the highly realistic and delicate marble statue. The Chinese clothing system has appeared and quite complete during this period. Its clothing regulations mainly emphasize social order and show the maturity of culture. The figurines of this period unearthed on the Crete island in Greece have also possessed the prototype of western classic clothing styles, such as the upper body, the waist, and the long skirts of the lower body. People with eyes can see that in more than two thousand BC, the cultural attitudes, aesthetic consciousness, and creative styles of people in the East and the West have their own characteristics, and they have embarked on different development paths. The display and narration of Eastern and Western costumes on these two roads is a cultural exploration of highly far -reaching cultural exploration.

2. Use rich TV methods to express cultural causes and historical stories.

The main creative staff of the clothing of "In the Civilization" took nearly a year to search for experts and prepare information, which can be described as improving. On the basis of strictly controlling the quality of the show, the show also strives to adapt to the appreciation habits of today's audiences, and try to make every paragraph and detail in the show vivid and lively, pleasing to the eye. This serious historical topic.

Fundamentally, the style of Chinese and Western clothing has always been highlighted to highlight the culture of culture. Whether men or women, they have weakened gender characteristics on clothing, and more expressed their national and cultural tenets. The western clothing mainly emphasizes the body and sexy of the pretender's itself. The classic style of Western clothing is the exaggeration of the shoulder of the male value of the top, and the outline of the lower limbs is clear. And women highlight the exposed neck, chest, and even back, try to reduce the waist circumference, and exaggerate the hips extremely enthusiastically. , Form the sexy body of women to the extreme.

Compared to the exposure of Western clothing, the deep clothes wearing men and women during the Warring States Period of the Chinese Warring States Period were just the opposite. Even in the form of detailed text description, it was solemnly appeared in the Confucian classics "Book of Rites" and set up "Deep Clothing". The focus of the deep clothes is "deeply being deepened", and the tailoring process of long plackets, sleeves, and upper and lower parts must adhere to the order and social requirements of heaven and earth. Rules and so on. That is to say, Chinese clothes can not be worn casually. Including the color of clothes, such as determining the grade of officials with a robe color; the pattern on the clothes has also been posted on the chest or back as a "Buzi" to indicate the official position as the official position; of……

The reason why Eastern and Western clothing shows such a very different characteristic is to trace the origin because the foundation of Eastern and Western historical and culture is obviously different. For example, the Oriental is dominated by farming, and China has laid a ritual model based on the agricultural economy on Wednesday. The West is dominated by the marine economy from the Mediterranean to the British islands. People dare to take risks and strive to novel.

From the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, a hundred schools of contention were confirmed, and in the early Han Dynasty, the philosophical thoughts of Confucianism were completely determined. The West did not stop fighting from Greece and Rome, and the germination of modern philosophy and aesthetics appeared. In the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese people emphasized the publicity of human nature. Since the agency of the Song Dynasty, they pay attention to the order of etiquette and education. The West first experienced the medieval religious rule that suppressed humanity. Later, the Renaissance of Renaissance, which held high humanities, and welcomed the industrial revolution. In the long history of thousands of years, Eastern and Western costumes have produced a completely different cultural style. This style not only stays in art, but also culture, civilization, but also the differences in the concept and thinking of thinking. It is inevitable that the cause behind culture is inevitable. Especially in the face of the grand theme of Chinese and foreign civilization, how to ensure the rigor and communication effect of academics need to be considered. The strength of the TV performance is fully reflected in the program "In the Civilization of Civilization". While digging the historical stories and telling the cultural cause, it also cooperates with the large -screen immersion scenes, the clothing show display, the combination of movement and static, strong visibility, and displaying it. The effect of joy. Of course, there are too many historical data from East and Western clothing. If you want to present as much as possible to the audience, it will always be too difficult. Therefore, the members of the director's team do their best to show their most representative, especially in the mutual understanding of civilization and the most impressive real thing to show the audience, and then supplement the professional interpretation and cultural explanation of the guests. , Presented the audience a wonderful meal for each other.

3. From the height of the human destiny community, the western clothing culture mutual learning

Eastern and Western clothing collide and integrate in history, and then create a colorful world. CCTV Chinese International Channel is basically the same in the 21st century when this fashion is popular. After leading the audience to relive the history of Chinese and Western civilization, it is more important to understand the cultural appearance of other countries. To strengthen the exchange of civilization exchanges, eliminate cultural gaps, promote the communication of the people, and then unite the people of the world, and create a beautiful community of human destiny together.
