　　[Commemorating the 75th anniversary of the victory of China People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War]

　　On December 8, 1941, the Japanese army began to invade Hong Kong. At that time, the Governor-General of Hong Kong and Britain only persisted for 18 days, then led nearly 10,000 British troops to give up their resistance and formally surrendered on December 25th. At the time of Hong Kong’s crisis, the Communist Party of China (CPC) held high the banner of unity against Japan, led the people of Hong Kong and overseas Chinese to fight against foreign aggression, and wrote a brilliant and moving history of Hong Kong’s war of resistance against Japan, which became an invaluable common memory and collective epic of the Chinese nation.

　　When Hong Kong fell, mountains and rivers wept with blood.

　　During the Anti-Japanese War, Hong Kong was not only an important regional commercial center, but also a key window for China’s external relations, which had a special strategic position and value. However, in the eyes of the British colonists at that time, Hong Kong did not get the attention it deserved. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Britain was indifferent to the defense of Hong Kong. In April 1938, the "Royal Defence Committee" even suggested that Hong Kong’s defence force should be cut in half, and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill also said that Hong Kong’s defence force should be cut to an "appropriate level". It was not until the end of 1941 that the Japanese army approached Hong Kong that the British authorities symbolically ordered two additional Canadian infantry battalions to defend Hong Kong.

　　After the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, they burned, killed and plundered, committing all kinds of evils. The people of Hong Kong not only lost their freedom and dignity, but also fell into a deep disaster. The Japanese military government has formulated a large number of unprecedented regulations, and used the crime as an excuse to beat, scold, imprison and even kill Hong Kong residents at will. If Hong Kong residents don’t bow to the Japanese troops on guard, they will be slapped lightly, or they will be killed. They also commandeered comfort women. In August 1942 alone, they commandeered houses in Wan Chai and other places to set up 500 comfort stations. The brutality of the crime was outrageous. In Guangzhou "Nanshi Correctional Field", more than 100,000 Hong Kong refugees who were imprisoned became the experimental objects of the Japanese Bozi 8604 troops’ germ warfare. Many Hong Kong compatriots were lured to other places to work as laborers and suffered inhuman oppression and abuse. According to Hong Kong Medical Practice, Li Shufen, a Chinese doctor who opened a hospital in Kowloon at that time, "treated at least 10,000 rape victims, many of whom were stabbed in the street with bayonets". John Stryker, an Englishman, recalled in Japanese Occupation that he had witnessed "some people were pierced together with ropes through holes poked by bayonets in their arms and pushed into the sea of the harbor" and "three strings of Chinese people like pearls … … One of them fell down exhausted and pulled down the other, so they died one after another. "

　　Under the ravages of the Japanese army, the bustling "Pearl of the Orient" Hong Kong fell into endless darkness.

　　The mainstay is like a rock.

　　A high wind knows the strength of grass, and the board swings to see loyalty. At the darkest hour of the fall of Hong Kong, the Communist Party of China (CPC) actively carried out the United front, international propaganda and armed struggle, led the Hong Kong and Kowloon Independent Brigade to stubbornly persist in the war of resistance in Hong Kong, and established an anti-Japanese base area, becoming the longest-standing, most United and most influential political force in the war of resistance in Hong Kong.

　　On December 9, 1941, the day after the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong, the Guangdong People’s Anti-Japanese Guerrilla (the predecessor of Dongjiang Column) followed the guidelines formulated by the CPC Central Committee, transferred the backbone of party member to advance into Hong Kong, formed a guerrilla force and launched an armed struggle. At that time, the Japanese army invading Hong Kong was mainly composed of well-equipped elite troops, such as the 38th Division of the Army, the Second China Dispatching Brigade of the Navy and the 23rd Flying Team. The Army alone had 15,000 infantry, artillery and armored personnel. At first, the backbone of party member who advanced into Hongkong was only equipped with a small number of pistols and rifles, with more than 50 people. In order to bring light to the other side of the waves, they ventured into Hong Kong in three directions at night.

　　After the guerrillas arrived in Hong Kong, they quickly started their work and mobilized the masses. Establish anti-Japanese strongholds in mountain villages with weak enemy forces; Seize the weapons and equipment abandoned by the British troops stationed in Hong Kong and strengthen the anti-Japanese forces; Under the leadership of the Eighth Route Army’s office in Hong Kong, the "provincial and Hong Kong University rescue" was carried out to protect nearly 1,000 patriots in Hong Kong, such as Democrats, cultural celebrities and families of senior Kuomintang officials, as well as expatriates from Britain, India, the Netherlands and Belgium. In February 1942, in order to strengthen guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines in Hong Kong and Kowloon, the guerrillas in Hong Kong were unified into the Hong Kong and Kowloon Independent Brigade, which was subordinate to the Dongjiang column.

　　Through unremitting efforts, by the summer of 1943, the Hong Kong and Kowloon Independent Brigade had established anti-Japanese guerrilla base areas in Saigon, Sha Tau Kok, Yuen Long, Lantau Island and Sheung Shui with the momentum of single spark can start a prairie fire, and the number of troops increased to about 800, with five regional squadrons, one maritime squadron, two pike squadrons and one squadron directly under it, and established party branches in each squadron. On August 17, 1944, Yan ‘an Liberation Daily reported the achievements of Dongjiang Column in the first half of 1944 under the headline "Dongjiang Column is a great shock to Hong Kong and Macao": "It fought 148 times with Japanese puppet troops, captured 10 Japanese puppet army strongholds, destroyed 377 miles of roads, 70 miles of railways, 12 bridges, killed and injured 440 Japanese troops and more than 560 puppet troops. The Dongjiang column is like a steel knife inserted behind the enemy in South China, which is a great shock to Hong Kong and Macao. "

　　By the time of the Japanese defeat in August 1945, the Hong Kong and Kowloon Brigade led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) had become the only military force controlling Hong Kong at that time.

　　Concentrate and unite to resist foreign aggression.

　　Since the Japanese invasion of China, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people have actively carried out anti-Japanese and national salvation work in Hong Kong by forming anti-Japanese groups, running workers’ night schools and participating in mass organizations, publicizing the Party’s anti-Japanese ideas and rallying the will of Hong Kong people to resist the Japanese war. After the outbreak of the All-round Anti-Japanese War, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China immediately dispatched Zhang Wenbin, Liao Chengzhi and others to Hong Kong, and successively established organizations and institutions such as the Hong Kong Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Office of the Eighth Route Army in Hong Kong, which enabled the party organizations in Hong Kong to recover and develop rapidly and accumulated strength for the subsequent anti-Japanese war in Hong Kong.

　　The Hong Kong Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China has successively established 47 branches, including workers, students, educated youth and neighborhoods, to carry out in-depth publicity and education on the war of resistance against Japan, promote the awakening of Hong Kong citizens, and unite people from all walks of life in Hong Kong to participate in the war of resistance and national salvation.

　　The Hong Kong Cultural Work Committee of the Communist Party of China established a number of cultural progressive groups such as the Hong Kong Branch of the All-China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and organized more than 100 cultural celebrities in Hong Kong, including Xia Yan and Mao Dun, to create anti-Japanese culture, thus cultivating and uniting a large number of progressive people.

　　The Hong Kong Seafarers’ Working Committee of the Communist Party of China and the peripheral Hong Kong seafarers’ organizations made great efforts to mobilize seafarers to resist Japan and save the country, mobilized about 16,000 seafarers to stop working for Japanese ships, and organized most of them to return to their hometowns to continue to participate in anti-Japanese activities, among which more than 10,000 Hong Kong seafarers died because of the anti-Japanese.

　　The Alliance for the Defence of China, which the Communist Party of China (CPC) planned to create, extensively carried out mass United front work, organized charity sales, charity performances and other activities to raise anti-Japanese materials, and stimulated the enthusiasm of Hong Kong people for the war of resistance against Japan. The "One Bowl of Rice Movement" launched in July 1941 called on everyone to support the anti-Japanese struggle with the cost of "one bowl of rice". People from all walks of life in Hong Kong actively participated. Many hotels hung banners with the slogan "Welcome to eat rice to save the country" and posted pictures of the heroic killing of the soldiers in the Anti-Japanese War. Many Hong Kong citizens regard participating in related activities as the most glorious and memorable activity in their lives. According to the then "China Business Daily" report, a small vendor usually has to weigh the matches repeatedly, but he did not hesitate to buy five "one bowl of rice sports" meal coupons with the hard-earned 10 yuan money, and said happily, "Our family has done its due duty in Chinese, and our conscience feels at ease".

　　Through the ages, the castle peak is the proof.

　　Since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Communist Party of China (CPC) held high the banner of patriotism in Hong Kong, won wide recognition from Hong Kong citizens, overseas Chinese and international friends with his spirit of sacrifice and fine style, and gradually became the most influential and cohesive political force in Hong Kong during the Anti-Japanese War.

　　The the Communist Party of China (CPC)-led Hong Kong and Kowloon Independence Brigade is known as the "Children of the Hong Kong people". Party member’s heroic deeds such as Liu Jinjin and Fang Lan are widely circulated. The Hong Kong and Kowloon Independent Brigade also carried out military cooperation with the Allied Forces in accordance with the instructions of the Central Committee and made outstanding contributions to the world anti-fascist war. While completing various tasks well, they rescued 84 British and American troops successively, and received letters of praise and commendation from General mountbatten, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia, and General Chennault of the American Army.

　　抗战胜利后，许多有识之士希望借此契机收复香港，但英国当局却蛮横拒绝。“中华民国”政府虽几经交涉，最终还是被迫同意由英国海军上将夏悫率兵进驻香港接受日军投降。对此，蒋介石曾在日记中愤然写道：“惟英国侮华之思想，乃为其传统之政策，如我国不能自强，今后益被侮辱矣！”

　　据英方史料记载，当英军重新进入香港时，“成千上万面中国国旗淹没了寥寥无几的英国国旗”。事实也确实如此，当习惯蔑称华人为“支那佬”的夏悫乘坐“不屈”号航空母舰前来“接收”香港时，中国国旗在海面上无数只帆船小艇和岸边几乎每一栋房屋乃至每一扇窗口迎风飘扬。香港居民用这种无声的方式，表达着中华民族的爱国情怀和不屈精神。

　　1945年9月28日，港九独立大队撤出香港时，香港民众纷纷登报赞颂功绩，自发夹道泪别。港九独立大队发表了饱含深情的宣言：“别了！亲爱的港九新界同胞们！今天，我们离开港九了，但我们关心你们的自由幸福仍和以前一样”“我们希望你们光荣的斗争能引起国际人士应有的尊敬，获得应有的自由、和平与幸福的生活。今天，我们撤退了，但我们的心却是永远不会离开你们的”。

　　In 1951, Hong Kong folk broke through the obstruction of the British authorities in Hong Kong and raised funds spontaneously to set up a monument in Wujiaoteng Village, where the Hong Kong and Kowloon Independence Brigade once worked. In 1984, the Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed, and Hong Kong’s return to the dawn was in sight. Overseas Chinese and Hong Kong compatriots were both excited and excited, and they donated money to rebuild the Wujiaoteng Anti-Japanese Heroes Monument. The Zhanzhuwan Anti-Japanese Heroes Monument in Sai Kung District was also completed in 1989. On December 28th, 1998, the SAR Government held a grand ceremony. At that time, Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa personally placed the list of 115 martyrs who died in the Hong Kong and Kowloon Independence Brigade in the Hong Kong City Hall for the public to mourn. In 2002, hundreds of surviving veterans attended the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong-Kowloon Independent Brigade. Although they are over 80 years old, their eyes are as determined as ever. They witnessed the history of the Anti-Japanese War in Hong Kong and felt extremely glorious and proud that they had participated in the struggle to defend Hong Kong.

　　In 2015, Wujiaoteng Monument to the Anti-Japanese Heroes and Heroes was included in the list of national anti-Japanese war memorial facilities and sites. On September 3 this year, 15 members of the Hong Kong-Kowloon Independent Brigade were selected into the list of famous anti-Japanese heroes and heroes, and the monument to the anti-Japanese heroes and heroes in Zhazhuwan was also included in the list of national anti-Japanese war memorial facilities and sites.

　　The mountains are green and the spirit is eternal! The towering monument tells the posterity the history that can never be forgotten.

　 　 　　[The reader says]

　　Marx and Engels pointed out: "People want to be able to ‘ Make history ’ , must be able to live. But in order to live, you need clothes, food, shelter and other things first. Therefore, the first historical activity is to produce materials that meet these needs, that is, to produce material life itself. " Among them, "clothing" is the first of people’s livelihood, and its production mainly depends on the emergence and progress of textile technology. China has a long textile history. In the Neolithic sites more than 7,000 years ago, archaeologists discovered textile tools such as spinning wheels and waist machines. The mastery of sericulture and silk reeling technology enabled our ancestors to weave silk at the earliest time in human history. Accompanied by Zhang Qian’s hollow journey, silk opened the first large-scale commercial and cultural exchange between the East and the West in the history of the world, and made great contributions to the development of human civilization.

　　After thousands of years of accumulation and precipitation, China’s textile culture has profoundly influenced the daily life style and production mode of the ancient people in China. On this basis, the costume culture has shaped the ancient people’s understanding of life order and social order in China. Although there are many contents related to the ancient clothing system in handed down documents, these records are mostly concentrated in the upper classes of society such as emperors and courtiers, and the color of "standardization" is obvious, which can not reflect the complex content and overall appearance of ancient Chinese clothing culture. In 1950s and 1960s, Mr. Shen Congwen overcame the difficulties such as lack of data in his pioneering research on ancient Chinese costumes, and successfully summarized the development clues of ancient Chinese costumes by using the research method of combining objects, images and documents. Under the guidance of Mr. Shen, scholars such as Wang and Wang Yarong opened up a new field of textile archaeology with the help of the continuous unearthed textile objects. The newly published "Great Power Dress — — Shen Congwen and Our Road to Textile Archaeology deeply reviews the arduous road that Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang Yarong went through when they assisted Mr. Shen in the study of ancient Chinese costumes, and shows the development course and related achievements of textile archaeology in China for half a century.

　　Constructing the historical chain of textile objects in China

　　It is the primary task of textile archaeologists to collect archaeological unearthed textile cultural relics and construct the historical chain of ancient textile objects in China. The textile raw materials in ancient China mainly include kudzu, hemp, wool, silk, cotton, etc., all of which are natural fibers. Because of their organic properties, textiles are easily eroded by physical, chemical, biological and other factors, so it is difficult to preserve them. Therefore, there is a saying in textile archaeology that "once in a thousand years, one tomb is hard to find, and a thousand tombs are hard to find a coat". The discovery of textile objects in this world is really hard to find. Fortunately, since 1970s, textile archaeologists have excavated and protected textile cultural relics in many archaeological sites all over the country. In his book, Mr. Wang Yarong introduced the landmark achievements in the development of textile archaeology in China, and led us into the archaeological sites that surprised the world.

　　About 2500 years ago, 300 pieces of textiles from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were unearthed in the tomb of Jing ‘an, Jiangxi Province, which pushed forward the time axis of China’s textile physical chain to the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period. The weaving skills of these textiles are exquisite, and the density of geometric brocade warp is as high as 240 per cm, which is amazing. About 2300 years ago, a large number of silk fabrics in the middle and late Warring States period were unearthed in the No.1 Chu tomb in Mashan, Jiangling, Hubei Province. This batch of silk fabrics is not only varied and colorful, but also has mysterious patterns and superb skills. Western scholars greatly admire it after reading it, saying that its designer was China’s "Picasso" more than 2,000 years ago.

　　During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the textile technology in China was further developed, and the unearthed textile objects were gradually enriched. Fine silk fabrics from the Western Han Dynasty were unearthed in Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, Laoshan Han Tomb in Beijing and Dabaotai Han Tomb. High-grade silk fabrics from the Eastern Han Dynasty were found in the Niya site in Minfeng, Xinjiang, among which the most famous one is the brocade armguard of "Five Stars Going East and Benefiting China". The pattern of this brocade is complicated and changeable, with clouds, five stars, phoenix, phoenix, unicorn, white tiger and other exotic birds and animals on it, and the small seal script character "Five stars go out of the East and benefit China" is used. "Five-star" brocade not only represents the highest level of brocade technology in the Han Dynasty, but also witnessed the close communication between Jing Guo and the Central Plains Dynasty. Once discovered, it was recognized as a first-class cultural relic and became one of the first cultural relics forbidden to go abroad for exhibitions.

　　During the Tang and Song Dynasties, with the social stability and economic prosperity, the textile industry also ushered in a prosperous development situation. A large number of textiles from the Tang court were unearthed in the Tangta Palace of Famen Temple in Fufeng, Shaanxi Province, covering nine categories: brocade, silk, silk, embroidery, embroidery and painting, printing and weaving. Among them, brocade and embroidered clothes represent the highest level of silk weaving in Tang Dynasty. Paper and silk paintings and calligraphy in the early Northern Song Dynasty were found in the hidden niche of Ciyun Temple Tower in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province. When these cultural relics were unearthed, they were broken into pieces, hardened and severely pulverized. With the efforts of Mr. Wang Yarong and others, more than 60 paintings in the early Song Dynasty were successfully spelled out. One of them is the statue of the goddess who fights in the night. The silk version of the painting is colored, and all the female immortals painted are wearing long back hair, white long-sleeved collar robes, long-sleeved dresses and red shoes, which provides important physical data for studying the costumes and painting styles in the early Northern Song Dynasty.

　　After the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, China’s textile technology continued to innovate and develop, becoming more and more superb. Fifty-one pieces (sets) of silk embroidery at the end of Yuan Dynasty were unearthed from the Gezidong Tibetan site in Longhua, Hebei Province. The materials used included satin, silk, yarn, Luo, brocade, Nashiyi (woven brocade) and other varieties. The discovery in the cave of "a brocade quilt made of brown peony and lotus flowers" provides important information for studying the development and evolution of ancient satin fabrics in China. 128 pieces of silk fabrics buried with Empress Xiaojing were unearthed in the Ming Dingling Mausoleum, the most famous of which was a hundred-piece garment. The clothes of the ancient philosophers are embroidered with geometric patterns on the ground of the red lotus, and then embroidered with patterns such as golden dragons, flowers and ancient philosophers. There are more than a dozen embroidery stitches used in this dress, which is a masterpiece of various embroidery techniques and represents the highest technological level of embroidery clothing in Ming Dynasty.

　　The above-mentioned cases in the book were carefully selected by Mr. Wang Yarong from the textile archaeological projects she presided over and participated in. When she arranged the contents of the book, she disrupted the excavation order of archaeological sites, and constructed a textile physical chain from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties in order of the unearthed textile cultural relics, which was helpful for readers to grasp the development context of China ancient textile physical objects more clearly and then form a systematic understanding of China ancient textile culture and costume culture.

　　Reproduce the original historical appearance of China textile objects.

　　Excavating, extracting and protecting archaeological textile cultural relics is only the first step of textile archaeological work. On this basis, Mr. Wang Yarong and his team will restore and weave them. At present, there are three main forms of reproduction of textile cultural relics: one is to copy according to the unearthed appearance of cultural relics, not paying attention to materials and technology, but only pursuing "current copy" products with similar appearance; Second, the replica of the combination of the present situation and restoration of cultural relics; The third is the "restoration of composite fabrics" under the guidance of experimental archaeology methods. Textile archaeologists take the third form.

　　Experimental archaeology is a branch of archaeology, which advocates copying and reconstructing archaeological relics by means of practice or experiment, so as to understand the behavior of ancient humans. Specifically speaking, in the field of textile archaeology, it is necessary to fully study the morphological process, aesthetic value and historical position of unearthed textile cultural relics, carefully select the same materials as the cultural relics, and use the process method in line with the development level of ancient technology to carry out the restoration and re-weaving work on the basis of mastering the materials and parameters of cultural relics. In Mr. Wang Yarong’s words, "Restoration and Reweaving" is a research achievement to restore the original appearance, quality and technology of cultural relics based on comprehensive research and scientific experiments, which has "scientific research value and collection value similar to cultural relics" and is "the best scientific research means to study the weaving, design and cutting of ancient costumes".

　　In 1983, Mr. Wang Yarong began the initial restoration and re-weaving experiment by selecting the clothing and clothes unearthed from Mashan Chu Tomb, such as the dragon-to-phoenix tattooed quilt, the phoenix-bird flower tattooed cotton garment, the colorful embroidered field hunting decorative belt, the dragon-phoenix-tiger tattooed single garment, and the dragon-to-phoenix large pattern colored embroidered quilt. After seven years of hard work, Mr. Wang Yarong’s first reply to the original weaving work was completed. There is bitterness in it, only self-knowledge. Thankfully, her efforts have been successful. In particular, the exquisite restoration fabric of the phoenix bird flower embroidered cotton coat has made all scholars who have seen it admire. Later, the approved woven embroidery also went abroad and was exhibited in Seoul, Amsterdam and other places, which was highly praised.

　　In the book, Mr. Wang Yarong introduced in detail the restoration and reweaving process of textile cultural relics from the aspects of material selection, dyeing process, weaving method and embroidery stitch. In order to facilitate readers to understand these techniques, the relevant contents in the book are accompanied by various diagrams such as pattern diagram, pattern line diagram, cultural relics structure diagram, knitting schematic diagram and so on. This arrangement brings readers a reading experience, just like reading Mr. Shen’s Research on Ancient Chinese Costume. Mr. Wang Yarong has an expert insight and analytical power on the warp and weft structure of these textile cultural relics. Through her hands, one piece of textiles buried for thousands of years has been "alive" again, showing the world the profound and profound beauty of the Chinese nation.

　　Inheriting the Craftsman Spirit of China Textile Archaeology

　　Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang Yarong are both assistants of Mr. Shen Congwen, and their road to textile archaeology began with assisting Mr. Shen in the study of ancient Chinese costumes. There are two gentlemen’s reminiscences in the book, which are unpretentious to read, but touching. Between the lines, there are not only their admiration and nostalgia for the teacher’s teachings, but also their responsibility and responsibility for the inheritance of the teacher’s career.

　　Patience and serious professional character.The word "patience" that Mr. Wang Yarong used many times in his book was inherited from Mr. Shen. "Patience" means dedication, perseverance, and fear of trouble and effort. "Be patient! Seriously! " It is not only Mr. Shen’s inculcation, but also his professional character, which deeply influenced Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang Yarong. Mr. Wang uncovered the silk fragments of Mawangdui Han Tomb layer by layer, and spliced the pieces of gold and jade clothes in Han Dynasty; Mr. Wang Yarong and his team are practicing the professional character of textile archaeologists for their patience and perseverance in the face of rotten textile cultural relics and their Excellence in restoring woven cultural relics.

　　Professional methods of mutual proof between material objects and literature and history.Mr. Wang Yarong thinks that if we want to comment on Mr. Shen, it is not enough to be a writer, but we should also call him a "cultural relic historian" or an "image historian". It is the research method of material and cultural history that Mr. Shen follows to cross-reference archaeological objects and cultural and historical records. Influenced by this, Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang Yarong paid great attention to the collection and application of documents in archaeological practice. Yili, The Book of Rites, Mozi, Xunzi, Zuo Zhuan, Historical Records and The History of the Three Kingdoms are all historical documents cited in the book. On this basis, Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang Yarong also resumed weaving, so that textile archaeology really embarked on the road of mutual proof of practice and literature and history.

　　Professional concept of making the past serve the present.Mr. Shen advocates "making the past serve the present" and that cultural relics research should serve production. When Mr. Wang Yarong faced the unearthed ancient cultural relics, he often felt that the present was worse than the past, which made her realize the importance of "making the past serve the present" and decided to carry out the restoration and weaving of textile cultural relics. Her efforts have awakened the historical relics that have been sleeping for centuries, revived the excellent textile and costume culture of the Chinese nation, and shocked ordinary readers and audiences with the ancient colors that were originally seen only by archaeologists.

　　Time and tide wait for no man’s professional mission.When Mr. Shen studied the ancient material culture of China, he was deeply challenged by foreign scholars, and often had a sense of urgency and mission. This kind of responsibility and responsibility is the concrete embodiment of Mr. Shen’s patriotic spirit, and it has also become an important magic weapon for Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang Yarong to overcome their work difficulties. In the book, the word often mentioned by Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang Yarong is "responsibility". Facing the "urgent" excavation work of Mawangdui Han Tomb, Mr. Wang overcame the difficulties of life and took the train to Changsha. In order to protect the textile cultural relics in Mashan Chu Tomb, Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang Yarong spent the New Year’s Eve in the streets of Jingzhou. In order to clean up the textiles in Jing ‘an Tomb, Mr. Wang Yarong and his team dipped their hands into the water at 2℃ needed to clean up the corpse, and kept beating them to wash away the sediment. They hope to protect and inherit the precious heritage left by their ancestors through their own responsibilities.

　　"China has great etiquette, so it is called summer; There is the beauty of the service seal, which is called China. " The costume culture created by ancestors is deeply engraved in the genes of the Chinese nation. As an integral part of China’s excellent traditional culture, China’s ancient costume culture embodies the essence of the Chinese nation’s material civilization and spiritual civilization for thousands of years. It is the time mission of textile archaeologists to inherit and carry forward China’s ancient costume culture and contribute to the construction of "Archaeology with China characteristics, China style and China style" proposed by the Supreme Leader General Secretary. "Textile Archaeology" has been approved as a unique discipline, and Mr. Wang Yarong has also won the first batch of honorary titles of "Great Craftsman", which is a great affirmation of textile archaeology. Mr. Wang Yarong believes that the development of textile archaeology in China in the new era should focus on the establishment of professional teams, the cultivation of professional talents and the creation of disciplines, and finally build a real "China Clothing Museum" that integrates the protection and restoration of textile cultural relics, experimental research, clothing culture research, exhibition, patriotism education and other functions. At the end of the book, Mr. Wang Yarong showed the readers nine organizations and leaders of textile and clothing cultural relics research and protection initiated and guided by her, and listed the doctoral students she trained, which are the effective forces to inherit and develop the textile archaeology in China.The publication of "Great Country’s Nishang" not only makes us look back on the founding history of textile archaeology in China, but also summarizes the achievements of textile archaeology in China, and finds out the way out and points out the direction for the development of this cause.
