　　 "One is the awakening of the Chinese clothing industry from being at a loss to exploring the information art route; the other is the awakening of the clothing style of more than one billion Chinese people from blindly following the crowd to pursuing the fashion of personality culture." At the beginning of 2025, Tan An, an 88 year old "old student", stood at the intersection of history and the future, looked back at the dawn of the awakening of the clothing industry at the beginning of reform and opening up. From Liancheng industrial system, Liancheng industrial line to Liancheng industrial prototype, the golden decade of reform and opening up, China's clothing industry has realized the industrial development model with clothing as the leader. With the development strategy of double integration of information technology line and information art line, it has basically built a whole industrial chain of Chinese clothing, becoming a bright international card of Made in China.

　　 As an experienced person in this glorious period, Tan An participated in the preparation of the China Fashion Research and Design Center from scratch, in charge of the clothing science, technology and culture. He is a pioneer and explorer in the reform and opening up of China's textile and clothing industry, a pioneer and thinker in the creation of a Chinese style fashion system, and one of the pioneers and promoters of Chinese clothing culture going global. His book Fashion Awakening: Thirty Questions of the Golden Decade of China's Clothing Industry not only engraved the practical exploration and ideological changes of the golden decade of China's clothing industry, but also deeply explored the path of innovative development of the fashion industry. The theory and practice complement each other, which is a valuable industry enlightenment.

　　 Information Art

　　 "Transforming" and Creating a "Beautiful" China

　　 The Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee opened the prelude to socialist reform and opening up, thus China embarked on a great journey and achieved a historic leap from "catching up with the times" to "leading the times". At the press conference of the new book held in Beijing on January 9, Ji Xiaofeng, president of the China Textile and Garment Education Association, reviewed with deep emotion that over the past 40 years, China's textile and garment industry has made remarkable achievements from changing the shortage and poverty situation of "ticket supply", rising to become the world's largest textile production, export and consumption country, and then continuing to transform and upgrade. The book Fashion Awakening: Thirty Golden Years of China's Garment Industry, published by Donghua University Press, faithfully records the magnificent history of industrial development, and pays homage to the pioneers who are struggling in the forefront of industry.

　　 Chen Ke, president of Donghua University Press, mentioned at the meeting that although Tan An has entered the age of 80, he has never stopped learning. He encouraged himself with old students and kept writing. As a professional academic publishing institution focusing on the field of textile and clothing, we highly value Mr. Tan's painstaking work, which took more than ten years to polish. The editorial team of the publishing house carefully polished every link, from cover creativity, text layout to paper selection, printing and binding, to ensure the quality of books, Finally, this masterpiece, which embodies the wisdom of the industry and the memory of the times, came out and became a rare witness of the times.

　　 "The information art route is not only applicable to the clothing industry, but also can be extended to all manufacturing industries, as well as cultural tourism industry, sports industry, sightseeing agriculture, environmental protection industry and many other fields." Tan An believes that digital "technology" and "culture" are in place, which means that the real effort of the manufacturing industry is in "calculus". This book fills in the white line of information art and finds the three foundations of the nature, humanity and rationality of the "harmony" gene of traditional Chinese culture. Cognition of the "harmony" gene is one of the most core high-quality genes in the gene pool of Chinese culture. Like the "open and inclusive" sea, the relaxed, comfortable and comfortable light fashion is the greatest common denominator of fashion and the mainstream fashion in the world today.

　　 The clothing industry is associated with people's life, and is an important carrier to highlight the national image and spiritual style. With the increasing demand for clothing quality, the clothing industry has gradually evolved into fashion industry, creative industry and cultural industry. The clothing industry chain and the information art route both start from the origin of consumer demand, go through dozens of links, condense into clothes, and then send them to consumers through sales channels, back to the origin. In his new book, Tan An adopts the methodology of circular thinking, which runs through the depth and borders all directions, emphasizing that everything in the universe follows the rule of "being circular", opening a new cognitive perspective for readers.

　　 Zhao Jinjun, the former Chinese ambassador to France and the former dean of the Foreign Affairs College, recalled that when he served as ambassador in France in 2003, Mr. Tan An actively participated in planning to hold a Chinese costume show in Paris. This is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China to display Chinese culture in the world's fashion capital, which has enhanced the friendship between China and France as well as the understanding and cooperation between China and people from all over the world.

　　 "Review the past and learn the new, pay homage to those who have explored the way, carry forward the past and open up the future, and realize the dream of rejuvenation." Li Dangqi, former dean of the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University and former chairman of the China Fashion Designers Association, said that Mr. Tan An's sincere heart and rigorous scholarship to the clothing industry were admirable. The new book not only records the extraordinary initial development of China's clothing industry with detailed historical data and true feelings, It also deeply digs the difficulties encountered in the development process and the ways to overcome them, which has important historical and academic value.

　　 Hua Mei, the former dean of the School of Fine Arts and Design of Tianjin Normal University, said at the meeting that Mr. Tan An's care and support for new things, and his support and help for young scholars deeply touched her. She believes that Mr. Tan An's understanding and application of China's "harmony culture" is highly forward-looking, making clothing a distinctive cultural symbol at the beginning of reform and opening up.

　　 Zhang Zhaoda, the former vice chairman of China Fashion Designers Association, deeply appreciates Mr. Tan An's dedication to work, contribution to industry and care for friends. He said that nowadays, the oriental clothing and civilization have gradually moved towards the center of the world, and become the new mainstream together with culture. Mr. Tan An's new book wonderfully records the starting point of the awakening of China's fashion industry.

　　 Dr. Liu Zundong, director of intelligent manufacturing engineering of Shandong Binzhou Joyful Home Textile Co., Ltd., shared the integrated development of information technology and art of magic fashion. He said that the line proposed by Mr. Tan An prompted the industry to re-examine the industrial line from the perspective of consumer aesthetic value orientation, and gradually sublimate the demand for basic functions of products to the pursuit of aesthetic art, which is not only an inevitable trend of social development, but also brings a new direction to the development of manufacturing industry.
