中国的服装产业需要规范化，中国的服装设计需要创新，中国的元素需要品牌化。我们应该努力超越西方的服装风格，同时打破东方的传统观念，创造出属于中国的风格。这种风格，既不是迎合（cater to)欧美的时尚品味，也不是简单地通过应用纯中国的元素而达到民族复兴（renaissance)的目的。这种风格，是将具有东方风格的各种因素有机地结合在一起的同时，巧妙地融入西式服装的特征。它是中国传统文化与世界多元文化的一种融合.
There is a need to standardize the clothing industry in China. There should be more innovations in Chine fashion design. Chine elements in fashion design should have their own brands。 While we are trying our best to transcend Western fashion styles, we should also try to break through the traditional Eastern concepts, eventually creating a style that can be called Chine. Such a Chine style neither caters to Western fashion tastes nor simply utilizes pure Chine elements to achieve a national renaissance. Rather, this style features an organic combination of various Eastern elements， skillfully infud at the same time with the
features of Western clothes。 It is a merging of traditional Chine culture and multiple world
cultures。

中国古代的史官（historiographer)制度，起源很早。有证据表明，至少在商代，我国已出现了史官和官方记事制度。早期史官记载虽然只是一种简单的史实记录，而非严格意义上的史学，却为后人研究
古史留下了重要的文献资料.应当指出，在古代，这类官方记事制度并非中国所独有，但只有中国古代的史官制度一直沿用下来。就其本意而言，这种史官记事制度不仅在于系统记载和保存文献史料，实际上还负有监督最高统治者的责任。
Historiography in China can date back to very ancient times。 There is evidence that， as early as the Shang Dynasty，historiographers and the official recording of events had become institutionalized。 Although the early historiographers made very simple records of historical events, not historiography in the strict n， they left important historical documents and information for later generations in studying ancient history。 It should be pointed out that in ancient times， the institution of such official recording of events was not unique to China, but only in China was it prerved for veral thousand years. As for its initial
purpo, historiographers recorded events not only to systematically record and prerve historical
documents and materials， but to supervi the highest rulers。
