Abstract

The promulgation and formulation of ordinances on apparel system in past dynasties are not only the factors restricting clothing culture, but also the factors promoting clothing culture. The enactment of the ordinances on apparel system of the Republic of China is the inheritance of the Chinese costume system, such as The History of “Yu Fu Zhi” (“舆服志”, record of the clothing systems) and “Li Yi Zhi” (“礼仪志”, record of etiquette), as well as the denouncement and continuation of the historical remnants of the previous dynasties. The ordinances on apparel system of the Republic of China emerged with the collapse of feudalism which lasts for over 2,000 years along with the fall of Qing Government. With its presence attached to the turbulent situation of the society, it was the driving force of social progress. The beginning of the apparel system of the Republic of China began with the rise of the “braid-cutting and costume changing” movements. What were cut off were not only the long braids in form, but also the feudal culture of the Qing Dynasty and what were changed were not only the tedious Manchu clothing at that time, but also the culture in a new era. The issuance of ordinance on apparel system promoted the development of costume culture in the Republic of China.
