青年的审美特点与服装的流行趋势

"好美之心,人皆有之."当代青年,当他们急切地祈望将自己内在的审美理想、审美观念外化为客观现实,同时将外部社会的审美风尚、审美习惯内化为自身的审美品格时,总会在自身的服装上下一番功夫.纵观服装发展的历史,各个时代的生产力状况、社会意识形态,各个民族的生活环境和文化传统,都会渗透到人的着装风格当中,并以其特有的艺术语言表达出来.所以,服装是一面既具体又抽象的镜子,它用音乐化的语言,表现和带给人一种情感、一种知觉、一种气氛、一种格调,反射出人们审美的心理内涵,同时显示出整个民族、整个时代的政治风貌与文化因素.当代青年对服装的选择与追求,是以中国传统的美学思想和文化氛围为渊源,以中国现代改革开放、观念更新的时趋为杠杆,借鉴西方现代美学与现代艺

思南苗族探析

思南是一个多民族杂居地区。全县有汉、苗、土家、记佬、蒙古等IS个民族，少数民族人口26万多人，占1995年底总人口的47％。其中有苗族10万多人，占总人口的18．6％．占少数民族人口的390h。这些少数民族基本是在党的十一届三中全会后，作为历史遗留问题落实民族政策得以识别恢复的。由于思南苗族在语言、文字、服饰以及本民族生活习俗等方面被汉族或土家族自然同化较深（包括印江、沿河、德江、务川等县乃至整个黔东北地区都同样如此），因而，学者们往往忽略了对他们的研究，本文就思南苗族作一点粗浅探析，求教于行家，以期引起学者们对…

Shanghai Keeps Its Cool

For a city about to receive an estimated 70 million visitors,Shanghai is remarkably composed as it nears the opening of the World Expo.Walking along the Bund and strolling through the former French Concession on a Saturday afternoon in spring,it would be easy for a foreign visitor not to realize what is going on.There are notices in hotels apologizing in advance to guests for any inconvenience caused by enhanced security measures.Taxis advertise hotlines for visitors having trouble in communicating with their drivers in English.But the air of suppressed hysteria which characterized Beijing in the run-up to the Olympics is absent.Shanghai is looking forward to a party,but is far too sophisticated for any display of overexcitement.
