Generally semiotics is the research of the symbol of the humanities, in a sense, the domain of human consciousness is a symbol world. The famous American philosopher, logic home Peirce not only induced the characteristics of symbol, but he connected the symbol with other things and entitled its definition. Finally he put forward three classifications of the symbol theory divided into icon, index, and the symbol of three kinds of symbols, which reflects different logical expression and far-reaching influence. Peirce symbols of art theory research, especially China apparel culture research provides another thought method and interpretation, and space for Chinese academics will put Pierce theory into specific areas of practice of the art of text effects less. This paper not only from Peirce symbol of Chinese cheongsam in the beginning, attempts to explore the theory of culture and aesthetic significance of exploration, but from the angle of icon, index, and the symbol , explores the special status of qipao dress culture in China. Peirce symbols for methods to study theory of qipao can support as a philosophical methodology, also can be a practical approach strategy. The 21st century Chinese qipao dress culture represented by the China still faces, how to grasp the tradition and the modern age, nationality and internationalism, creative and accept such cultural transmission relations, and faces to the contemporary art of China apparel culture development space. Peirce symbols to explore the theory may provide some new methods of proposition, new ideas and breakthrough. This is what I choose this research.The main research method is to use the "symbol theory", the three points from "from symbols to qipao to explain a target object" to interpret symbols item. The first chapter focuses on the life and the academic contribution of Peirce, the symbol theory of Peirce and research applications. The second chapter, from the perspective of the symbolic image, through comparison of characteristics, the western dress from cheongsam modelling, colour, pattern and texture features to understand other external beauty of Chinese dress. The third chapter, from the angle of index, the deeper understanding symbol in the development and change of the ups and downs of qipao of innovation and development of modern society. The fourth chapter, from the angle of view, the symbol will rise to the world from the western aesthetic culture, and the comparison of aesthetic culture, costume, see how visual art of Chinese cheongsam as symbols to the world.The semiotic theory of Pierce, which is put into the significance of Chinese costume culture research, is based on the interpretation of semiotics frontier. This text may be many holes due to lack of knowledge and culture. However I wish that in my efforts to dress art research provides a new perspective interpretation and research methods. |
