In April 1979, as the warm wind became stronger, the begonia flowers in the "Huatingyuaner" of the Hong family's old residence bloomed.
The strings of pink flowers with white inside bloomed so romantically, so free and easy, without a trace of thought or hesitation. Almost overnight, they were covered with branches, blooming in the warm sunshine, attracting attention.
Come and dance the bees and sing the birds.
The beauty of this kind of blooming flowers makes anyone feel a kind of unrestrained happiness when they see it. It seems that as long as they look at it a few more times, all worries and worries will disappear. Everyone's life and future will also change.
It seems so gorgeous.
Hong Yanwu regretted that the old house was being renovated and repaired. Because the "Huatingyuan" was in a mess all day long, with not only people coming and going, but also piles of sand and brick walls. This made it impossible for him to spend time with "Tang Xin'er"
Holding hands and admiring flowers.
Now it seems that this kind of beautiful thing "I only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals", I can only place my hope on next year...
It should be said that April of this year is the most prosperous and energetic month in Beijing since the "Movement". Because this month, our Republic is more closely connected with the word "fashion" than ever before.
This is not like the inadvertent opening of a small gap like before, just a few songs, a few fabrics or some fashionable products quietly appearing in people's lives, but an all-round recovery and rise.
"Testing the waters" like chasing after others.
At the beginning of this month, French fashion master Pierre Cardin was invited to visit China for the first time. He set up a temporary T-stage at the Palace of National Culture, allowing some Chinese people in the foreign trade and fashion circles to experience the costume performances of foreign fashion designers for the first time.
.
On the day of the performance, 8 French models and 4 Japanese models walked catwalks to the accompaniment of pop music, forming a strong contrast with the audience wearing blue and gray uniforms who watched with bated breath.
Especially when a blonde female model stopped in the middle of the catwalk and lifted up her skirt in excitement, the audience in the audience leaned back in unison. It was as if they were avoiding a shock wave that was so close at hand.
.
This scene later led to the emergence of some negative reports and objections, which lowered the reception standards of Pierre Cardin's trip to Shanghai and caused a cold reception. The number of performances and the number of audiences were also greatly reduced.
But this master is, after all, "the first person to dare to eat crabs." He pioneered costume performance in the Republic. No matter what, no one can prevent Pierre Cardin's name and brand from becoming a household name in the land of the Republic.
, women and children all know it.
Similarly, the corners and cornices of the Forbidden City and the Imperial Ancestral Temple also brought great inspiration to the contemporary French "Marco Polo". For a long time, he was inspired to pay special attention to shoulder design.
, so shoulder pads and shoulder pads are widely used in his clothing.
As the first international brand to knock on the door of our country, this undoubtedly affected our country's fashion trends, making clothing with shoulder pads a hot seller almost throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
At the same time, echoing the "official internal performance" brought by "Pierre Cardin", among the people, "bell-bottom pants" have completely formed a popular trend, completely shaking the number of people in this large Eastern country.
Ten years of uniformity and monotony.
In fact, this thing originating from sailor pants, like perms and slicked back hair, had been popular among the "social youth" of the 1960s before 1966. Later, it "died" because of the "four olds"
Dropped.
It has been ten years now, and the popularity around the world has come to an end. There are not many "flared pants" that can be brought in through Hong Kong and Macao compatriots. Logically speaking, there is no basis for recovery and re-popularity.
However, due to long-term confinement, young people's aesthetics have become very deformed, and they are particularly willing to pursue exaggeration. As soon as they discover such strange costumes from imported movies and TV, many people rush to imitate them, making this kind of "outdated"
The clothing has not only become popular all over the country, but has also remained popular for a long time.
Some young people make homemade "flared pants" that are even as wide as one foot two, and the width of the two trouser legs exceeds the waist size.
When wearing "flared pants", many people also wear high-heeled leather shoes, and some have triangular iron plates nailed to the heels. When walking, the leather shoes make a clicking sound and the trousers legs sweep the road. Then put on a toad mirror and carry it
The "four-speaker" VCR is so popular on the market that its return rate is absolutely 100%.
Of course, the fate of this "costume monster" is exactly the same as that of "Pierre Cardin"'s debut. It has encountered criticism and resistance from all sides since the beginning of its re-popularity.
Many people can't stand it and think it's just a big fool! A hooligan! It's just a joke! Anyway, those who wear fancy clothes are not good people.
For this reason, they rebuked young people for being too frivolous, saying that this represented the decadence, illusion, and decline of the West.
The cartoonists immediately seized the opportunity and drew the young man wearing "flared pants" as a villain, which was like the ancient trend of denouncement of "subduing monsters".
The cross talk actors wasted no time in making up cross talk jokes. They said that since some people in their alley wore bell-bottom pants, they no longer had to sweep the alley. Why? The trousers legs look like brooms!
There were even a lot of acts of oppression on the streets. Some police station and unit security officers, once they found someone wearing "bell-bottomed pants", they had to use scissors to cut them open for safety.
It wasn't until the Youth Daily wrote an article arguing that the characters in the Feitian murals of the Tang Dynasty in my country also wore bell-bottom pants, saying that they originated from our nation, not the West, that the opposition became quieter.
But no matter what, don’t underestimate the impact of “flared pants” on our country’s clothing culture.
Because it not only prompted Chinese people to start adopting A-line clothing silhouettes, but also raised Chinese people's height standards by ten centimeters.
This generation of young people began to admire the Western body shape because of "flared pants."
In recruitment and finding a partner, the requirements for men and women have increased from 1.65 meters and 1.55 meters in the 1950s and 1960s to 1.75 meters and 1.65 meters respectively. Even young men are willing to find girls who are taller than themselves as their spouses.
Until now, it is hard for people to believe that the popularity of a piece of clothing can have such a huge power, but this is indeed a historical fact.
The meaning of clothing openness is not just the above. Don't forget, everyone loves beauty, and how to preserve beauty is also everyone's expectation.
So not only did they perm their hair, grow their hair, grow a beard, wear high heels, pointed leather shoes, and new clothes, all of the "fashion" before the "breaking of the four olds" were revived. The "photography trend" also started uncontrollably.
Photography technology has been invented for nearly 200 years, and people have taken pictures before and since. The difference this time is that there are two main popular groups in society. In addition to true photography enthusiasts, there is also one who is in love.
People who love photography technology know the equipment itself very carefully and know all its functions very clearly. They take pictures of everything and the photos they take are very good. Although many of them are amateurs, there are often masters among them.
Comparable to the level of professionals.
For example, that month, the whole capital was talking about a photography exhibition titled "Nature, Society, People" held in Zhongshan Park. The organizer was a folk group called "April Photography Society". It is these photography hobbies
These pioneers are the pioneers of private art activities in the new era.
But it is completely different for people who are in love. It is the season when spring flowers are blooming and everything is resurrected. It is a good time for two people to go out together to enjoy the sunshine and life. More importantly, it is to attract the wind.
This kind of vanity is not only reflected in the photos. When you look back and show them to others, you will see where I have been and the beautiful photos I have left behind are worthy of my youth. It can also prove that I have a private camera and bought film to take pictures casually.
In exchange for the envy of others.
In fact, the greatest enjoyment is the moment when taking photos. Male and female lovers at that time often had a tacit understanding and liked to take photos in crowded places.
The woman dressed up beautifully, posed gracefully with a gauze scarf in hand, and the man took out his camera and chatted hurriedly. This process is not to mention very decent.
This is because taking pictures at that time relied on manual focus. The cameras were generally large and wore leather cases. They shone like small steel cannons in the sun.
Regardless of whether the photo is taken by a man or a woman, the feeling is basically equivalent to today's lovers driving a luxury car on the road. It will inevitably attract envious eyes and comments. Who can not be beautiful?
Just be careful not to be too arrogant and climb up and down unscrupulously to capture the view, and you won't have such unpleasant things as falling or slipping into the water.
"Bell-bottom pants" and "Photography style" have the same popularity transmission power as "Guitar fever" and "Dancing fever".
Not long after Teresa Teng became popular, Taiwanese campus songs that emerged in the 1970s were introduced again.
Compared with Teresa Teng's tenderness, campus songs are more fresh, simple, like homely words, and like heartfelt words. For a time, "Childhood", "Olive Tree", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "Walking in the Country"
On the Road" is widely sung.
Coupled with the Yunnan educated youth incident that broke out at the end of 1978, the country's top officials had to change the policy on educated youth and opened the door for returning to the city. By the beginning of this year, many young people had returned to their hometown after a long absence.
Therefore, before a relationship is established and before a job is found, many of these young people who have nothing to do put their energy into playing a guitar.
At that time, there were no professional textbooks or teachers. There were not many people who knew it. The skills were all passed down by word of mouth, self-exploration and mutual learning.
It is hard for people today to imagine how enthusiastic people were about learning the piano at that time. It was not a way to relieve a boring life, but a necessity of life.
Because without a guitar, these young people who have nothing to do will be full of irritability and loneliness. It is a guitar that gives them confidence and gives them the opportunity to prove that they are better than others.
The characteristics of that time were advocating for masters, requiring innovation in technology, and a strong thirst for new knowledge. Therefore, there were many people who practiced the piano for twelve hours a day. No one cared if their hands broke while playing the piano. It was almost certain that each string had its owner.
of blood.
And due to the lack of space, most young people who practice piano will choose to practice in the park. And they are all in their prime of life, which inevitably leads to the trend of "breaking the piano".
As the name suggests, "breaking the piano" is similar to "breaking the frame". The only difference is that the winner is determined by the skill of the piano. Whoever loses has to give the piano to the other party as a trophy. Of course, not everyone follows the rules.
So at the end of the evolution, after the "ballast harp" came the "ballast stand".
From this, it is not difficult to explain why rock music began to rise in Beijing in the 1980s. Folk songs and certain bands in the 1990s easily broke the dull music atmosphere of the entire country and created a lot of music myths.
