A woman in Suzhou, wearing a kimono, was taken away by the police for causing trouble. How to analyze the legal basis of the incident?
To the average person, the kimono represents the country that invaded and massacred our country. Seeing this dress is an unpleasant memory. Moreover, according to the description of the locals, although this is a Japanese-style street, wearing kimonos is indeed prohibited. This girl knew that this rule was intentional, to disrupt public order.
There may be no legal basis for being taken away by the police to cause trouble because of wearing a kimono. At least the law doesn’t say you can’t wear a kimono. If there is a rule that kimono cannot be worn on certain special days, maybe there is a law for the police to enforce it.
But considering that this day is a special day, that is, the day when Japan was defeated and surrendered, if you have to wear a kimono specifically, it means that you are not political enough and you are lacking in heart. Just like a few years ago, when someone was watching cherry blossoms at Wuhan University, someone wore a kimono, and a dispute broke out.
However, we must also understand that kimono has its origin and development. In fact, Japanese kimonos are designed with reference to our Tang Dynasty clothes. After years of evolution, the current style was formed. In a sense, a kimono is like a mutated Tang suit. Therefore, the kimonos we see today can also be seen from another perspective as the inheritance and extension of our Tang Dynasty costume culture. If we consider the issue from the perspective of cultural exchange, especially from the perspective of clothing culture.
There is peace, war, and economic sanctions between countries. We have to look at the situation, the attitude we adopt, the principles we adhere to, and the measures we take. It all depends on the actions of the other party.
The law does not stipulate that households cannot use kitchen knives, but if you use it to commit a crime, it is evidence of the crime and must be confiscated. It is definitely not appropriate to wear a kimono during sensitive periods. This will make the people hurt by the Japanese invaders even more sad.
It would be easy if the kimono could represent friendship and act as a messenger of peace, but the fact is that it is like a symbol of war, reminding many people of the history of the Anti-Japanese War. How to wear it? How to use it? should be considered.
Some people say that kimono is the inheritance of ancient Chinese costumes, such as Hanfu. This is undeniable, but during the Anti-Japanese War, kimono has been marked by the war of aggression. Cultural erosion is the precursor to many competitions or wars, that is, the penetration of cultural elements.
Of course, since the reform and opening up, we should take the initiative to absorb all advanced things from the positive sunshine, but this depends on how to use things that affect national dignity like elements representing humiliating history.
