Original text

Clothing Qingqian Yong

Clothing craftsmen are found in every province, but especially in Ningbo . Nowadays, all the ready-to-wear people inside and outside the capital are from Ningbo. In the past, someone held a piece of silk and ordered it to be cut by a tailor. Then he inquired about the master's temperament, age, appearance, and when he got the title, but did not mention the size. The person is strange. The tailor said: "Young people who are in the Department of Science and Technology have an arrogant nature, and their chests must be straight, and they need to be long in the front and short in the back; old people who are in the Department of Science and Technology have a lazy mind, and their backs must be bent, and they need to be short in the front and long in the back. Fat people have a wide waist and a thin body." Those with an anxious nature should wear short clothes, while those with a slow nature should wear long clothes. As for the size, why bother asking?"

I said that the craftsman can make the clothes. Today's ready-to-wear people often use old clothes to determine the size and new styles as fashion. They don't know the difference between good and bad, and they first covet. Regardless of whether it is men's or women's clothing, it is really difficult for people to have "stable and comfortable clothes" as Du Shaoling's poem said.

Translation

Tailoring is a profession that can be found everywhere, but Ningbo has an especially large number of people. Nowadays, most of the people making clothes inside and outside the capital are from Ningbo. Once upon a time, a servant brought a piece of silk to a tailor to cut. (The tailor) then asked about the owner's temperament, age, appearance, and also asked about the year he took the imperial examination and his grade, etc., but did not mention the size of the clothes. The servant felt strange. The tailor said: "A young person who has passed the scientific examination must have an arrogant temperament and must have a straight chest, and his clothes must be long in the front and short in the back; an old person who has passed the scientific examination must be depressed and his back must be bent, and his clothes must be long." The body needs to be short in front and long in the back; fat people have a wider waist and thin people have a narrow body; short-tempered people are suitable for wearing short clothes, and slow-tempered people are suitable for wearing long clothes. As for the size, there is a set of rules, so why bother asking! ”

In my opinion (referring to the author), it’s time to discuss the principles of making clothes with this tailor. Nowadays, ordinary tailors always compare the sizes of old clothes and adopt new styles to be fashionable. They do not understand the principle of clothes length, but they have the evil intention of embezzling fabrics. It is really difficult for today's tailors to make clothes for both men and women fit as well as "smoothly fit" as Du Fu said in his poem. 2. Translation of "Garment Craftsmen",

(Selected from "Lv Yuan Cong Hua·Yi Neng") The original text is that there are garment craftsmen in all provinces, especially in Ningbo. Today, all garment makers in and around the capital are from Ningbo. Also. In the past, someone ordered a tailor to cut a piece of silk. Then he asked the owner's temperament, age, appearance, and the year he got the exam, but did not tell the size. The man was strange. The tailor said: "Young man, he got the exam. If they are proud in nature, their chests must be straight, and they need to be long in the front and short in the back. Those who are old and have a weak heart, and their backs must be bent, and they need to be short in the front and long in the back. Those who are fat will have a wide waist, and those who are thin will have a slender body. Those with an anxious nature are better. If the clothes are short, those with slow temperament should wear long clothes. As for the size, there is no rule, so why bother asking?" I said that the craftsman can make clothes according to his words. Today's ready-made clothes often use old clothes to determine the size and new styles as fashion. , I don’t know the difference between pros and cons, and I have to covet it first. No matter whether men’s or women’s clothes, it is really difficult for people to be as “stable and fit” as Du Shaoling’s poem said. Translation and tailoring are available everywhere, and there are especially many people in Ningbo. Nowadays, Most of the people who make clothes in and around the capital are from Ningbo.

Suitable for wearing long clothes. As for the size, there is a set of rules, so why bother asking? "In my opinion (referring to the author), it is time to talk to this tailor about the principles of making clothes. Nowadays, ordinary tailors always determine the size based on the old clothes. They adopt new styles as fashionable and do not understand the principle of the length of clothes. Instead, they have the wrong idea of ????corrupting the fabrics. Clothes for men and women must be as well-fitting as Du Fu said in his poem "stable fit". It’s really difficult for today’s tailors...

It is really difficult for today's tailors to make clothes for both men and women fit as well as "smoothly fit" as Du Fu said in his poem. It inspired the clever tailor to work hard on "measurement" first, and not only mastered the age, appearance, and body shape of the person wearing the clothes, but also figured out the temperament and psychological characteristics of the person wearing the clothes, and even figured out the officialdom of the time. The habits and scholarly atmosphere can be said to have been thoroughly investigated and studied.

Unlike "today's tailors" who only know how to be fashionable and renovate new styles, but "don't know the difference between right and wrong", it is difficult to cut beautiful and well-fitting clothes. From a materialistic point of view, everything must be based on reality, we must insist on concrete analysis of specific situations, analyze the particularity of contradictions, and do things according to the characteristics of things.

On the contrary, only by exploring the inherent regularity of all things that exist objectively and grasping all the characteristics of the objects will we not deviate from objective reality. 4.
