Some people think that people will forget their own tradition and history because they no longer wear their traditional costumes. Do you agree or disagree?

 

In cities around China, western style colthes of all sorts are worn by people, to the extent that many people under a certain age are no longer sure what constitutes our traditional costumes. This, however, doesn't indicate that they are losing touch with their history and tradition.

People's preference to certain kinds of apparel has little to do with their attachment to their history and tradition. Consumers' choices to purchase or wear certain clothes are often influenced by fashion. Each year, the fashion industry is coming up with new types of clothes, sometimes unnecessarily, to maintain the huge profits. Men as well as women, fall victim to this enticement.

The abandoning of traditional clothes is sometimes necessitated by the changing lifestyle. As far as China is concerned, the growns worn two hundred years ago would certainly get in the way in our daily life today. The hectic life most people lead nowadays requires costumes that can offer confort and convenience. This is more a matter of practicality than of preference.

Therefore, people forgo traditional costumes solely out of other considerations; it hardly contributes to forgetting their history and custom. Traditional costume is only one remider of one's tradition, nothing more. Education plays a far more important rolw in enhancing one's understanding of one's history and culture. Sometimes, the more we let go, the more we can retain.

Thus, we need not to be alarmed that traditional clothes don't find favor with many people, especially the young. It is by no means a betrayal of the past or tradition. History and tradition should be borne in mind rather than merely put on our body.
