When the red walls and grey tiles blend with the Danxia red rocks, and when the school motto of Renmin University of China meets Zhu Xi's Neo - Confucianism, a cultural dialogue spanning thousands of miles, from Mingde Building of Renmin University of China to Wuyi Mountain in Fujian, is 'unfolding' with Hanfu as the carrier. On March 22, the parallel sub - forum with the theme of 'Cross - strait Youth Continuing the Chinese Cultural Context' of the Second Wuyi Forum was successfully held in Wuyi Mountain, Nanping, Fujian. At the event, the youth creative achievement of 'Hanfu Customized by Renmin University of China and Nanping' was officially released!
'Zhu Mo Qing Jin' Set
The 'Zhu Mo Qing Jin' set is inspired by the red ink and the aspiration of scholars. It combines the solemnity of the red walls of Renmin University of China and the red rocks of Wuyi Danxia, and inherits the profundity of Zhu Xi's Neo - Confucianism and the lasting meaning of the school motto of Renmin University of China.
Female Sanjian Skirt Suit: The female style of the 'Zhu Mo Qing Jin' set is a Sanjian skirt suit, which consists of a Song - style outer robe, a corset, and a Sanjian skirt. It integrates the natural scenery of Renmin University of China and Wuyi into the clothing design. The main color is cinnabar red, which combines the red of Renmin University of China, the red of Wuyi Danxia, and the red of rock tea soup.
The white of the magnolia, the school flower of Renmin University of China, is used as the secondary color to convey the balance between enthusiasm and purity. The main pattern of the outer robe uses the elements of the school emblem of Renmin University of China. The seal characters 'Ge Wu Zhi Zhi' (Investigation of Things to Extend Knowledge) and 'Shi Shi Qiu Shi' (Seek Truth from Facts) are embroidered with dark - golden silk on the hem, interpreting the philosophical concept of 'Unity of Knowledge and Action' through design language.
The pattern of the corset is a simplified version of the traditional window lattice pattern, embroidered with silver thread on the satin, which is a modern interpretation of the architectural details of traditional academies such as Kao Ting Academy in Nanping that carry Zhu Xi's thoughts. The color of the skirt transitions from cinnabar red to silk white from top to bottom, simulating the visual effect of the clouds and mists in Wuyi Mountain.
The whole set of Hanfu outlines the Oriental aesthetics of 'Harmony between Man and Nature' with red - and - white gradient and flower embroidery, achieving the integration of history and modernity, nature and humanity in the interweaving of warp and weft.
Male Lanshan Robe: The male style of the 'Zhu Mo Qing Jin' set is a Lanshan robe. Its design inspiration comes from the interaction between the spirit of Renmin University of China and Neo - Confucianism, highlighting the artistic conception of 'Source of Living Water' by Zhu Xi in the landscape pattern, and reflecting the dual missions of academic truth - seeking and cultural inheritance.
The main colors of the Lanshan robe are mountain - and - water green and rock grey. The fresh and elegant overall style symbolizes Zhu Xi's honest and upright character. Green and grey correspond to the scenery of Wuyi Mountain and the texture of tea rocks respectively, highlighting the elegant and beautiful scenery of Wuyi. The pattern on the cuffs is inspired by the iconic landscape of Yishao Pond on the campus of Renmin University of China. The green collar background and the living - water pattern of the whole Lanshan robe weave Zhu Xi's cultural context into the tangible cultural texture.
'Jiu Qu Ming De' Round - Collared Gown
The 'Jiu Qu Ming De' round - collared gown turns the Jiuqu Stream around Wuyi into a pattern, uses the red of Renmin University of China from Mingde Building as the main color, and depicts the beautiful scenery of Wuyi tea mountains on the gown, with a bright and grand overall style. The red robe has the same pronunciation as the famous tea 'Da Hong Pao' in Wuyi Mountain. Its main color not only symbolizes the mellow tea soup of 'Da Hong Pao' nurtured by the Jiuqu Stream in Wuyi, but also implies the long - standing 'Red of Renmin University of China' accumulated in Mingde Building of Renmin University of China.
The gown is decorated with golden flowing patterns, which are derived from traditional Chinese water patterns. The water patterns are as flexible as the winding Jiuqu Stream and the stretching mountains in Wuyi. The bottom pattern of the red robe is designed as a tea mountain.
The charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture is not only rooted in national traditions but also permeates real life. The fluttering sleeves are not only a vivid interpretation of the Neo - Confucian spirit of 'The essence of learning lies in practice', but also a youthful annotation of the 'Second Combination'.
The students of Renmin University of China will continue to firmly shoulder the responsibility of cultural protection and inheritance, and contribute their youth power to the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture. As they move forward, these unique Hanfu designs will surely inspire more young people to explore and embrace the rich heritage of Chinese culture, bridging the gap between the past and the future.
