晚清女性服饰改革:女性身体与国家、细节和时尚——从废缠足谈起

晚清服饰改革在晚清女性解放运动中发挥着特殊的作用。在以维新人士为主的精英知识分子的倡导下,废缠足等女性服饰改革被提到了强国保种的高度,但由此带来的另一个后果是人们忽视了女性身体的真实处境。女性身体被隐匿的另一原因是晚清女性服饰繁琐的细节,细节的堆砌淹没了身体。随着服饰改革的推进和细节的被剪除,女性的身体和内心都得到了重新的展示,而在这一过程中,时尚起到了关键性的作用。

Changes in Women''''s Dress in the Late Qing: Women''''s Body and the State and the Fashion——Starting from "Unbinding the Feet"

Changes in women's dress in the late Qing played a special role in women's liberation movement.During the "Weixin" reforms,leading intellectuals proposed the elimination of women's bound feet and other changes in women's dress and elevated the proposal to the level of strengthening the country and protecting the quality of Chinese race.However,this effort had also a setback as it neglected the actual conditions in which women's bodies were treated.For instance,it neglected the complicated details of women's dress,which nearly buried women's bodies in the late Qing.Along with the changes in women's dress and the removal of details in dress,women had a chance to show their bodies and inner feelings.In this process,fashion played a crucial role.
