中山裝這兩天很紅，因?yàn)榱?xí)近平主席和夫人參加荷蘭國宴時(shí)穿的是改良版的中山裝。因?yàn)槊掷镉小爸猩健倍郑芏嗳舜蟾哦寄懿碌竭@款服裝與孫中山先生有關(guān)，不過這服裝背后蘊(yùn)含的深層意義，你可知道？

Sun Yat-sen introduced Zhongshan suit shortly after the founding of the Republic of China as a form of national dress although with a distinctly political and later governmental implication.

中華民國成立后不久，孫中山將中山裝引入中國作為國民服飾的代表，不過中山裝后來被賦予了鮮明的政治和統(tǒng)治理念。

The Zhongshan suit was an attempt to cater to contemporary sensibilities without adopting Western styles wholesale. The tunic can be traced back to British army uniforms from World War I and U.S. Army uniforms during the Spanish-American Philippine War.

中山裝意在不全盤照搬西方服裝風(fēng)格的前提下迎合當(dāng)代的理念。這種服裝制式可以追溯到一戰(zhàn)時(shí)期的英國軍隊(duì)制服以及美西及菲律賓戰(zhàn)爭時(shí)期的美國軍服。

After Sun Yat-sen's death in 1925, the Zhongshan suit was assigned a revolutionary and patriotic significance. The four pockets were said to represent the Four Virtues cited in the classic Guanzi: Propriety, Justice, Honesty, and Shame. The five center-front buttons were said to represent the five Yuans (branches of government)–legislation, supervision, examination, administration and jurisdiction–cited in the constitution of the Republic of China and the three cuff-buttons to symbolize Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People: Nationalism, Democracy, and People's Livelihood. Finally, unlike Western-style suits that are usually composed of two layers of cloth, the jacket is in a single piece–symbolizing China's unity and peace.

1925年孫中山逝世后，中山裝被賦予了一層革命和愛國的理念。四個(gè)兜代表《管子》中的“四維”：禮、義、廉、恥；正中間的五顆紐扣代表中華民國根據(jù)《憲法》設(shè)立的五個(gè)院：立法、監(jiān)察、考試、行政以及司法；袖口的三顆紐扣代表孫中山的“三民主義”：民族、民權(quán)、民生。最后，西式服裝通常都由兩層布料做成，而中山裝只用一塊布料制成，代表中國的團(tuán)結(jié)與和平。
