身体形态在其自然属性与社会属性这一对矛盾中发展变化,它被文化塑造成为一种工具,借助这个工具,个体才能在一种文化中认知和生活。文化塑造身体不只是通过服装手段,还会直接使用外力使身体变形,例如:缠足和束腰,通过对这两种对身体形态装饰的手段进行比较,能进一步了解中外文化异同。 The physical form develops and changes in the contradiction between its natural and social properties. It is culturally shaped into a tool by which an individual can recognize and live in a culture. Culture shapes the body not only by means of clothing, but also directly uses external forces to deform the body, such as footbinding and corset. By comparing these two means of body decoration, we can further understand the similarities and differences between Chinese and foreign cultures.
