On the streets of Changzhou in the 1970s, people wore gray, black and blue clothes, and the styles were only Zhongshan suit, military casual dress, student dress and Lenin dress, and the colors and styles were monotonous. What's more, you need cloth tickets to buy clothes or make clothes. It is good that a person can make a new dress with a year's cloth ticket. How can there be so much money and cloth tickets to turn over clothes?

However, everyone loves beauty, especially young people, who always want to catch up with fashion. Therefore, in the early 1970s, small trouser leg tubes became popular. The small trouser leg tube is about no more than six inches, which is laborious to put on and take off, and it is very tight on the body. It can show the curve of young people's legs, so the small trouser leg tube has formed a fashion. During the Cultural Revolution, the bourgeois way of life was severely criticized, and this kind of dressing was considered to be exotic and forbidden. Some proletarian radicals took scissors to the streets to cut the small trouser legs in the street. Although the person whose trouser legs were cut was angry and embarrassed, he was helpless. At that time, there was a popular saying that "either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind". How does the bourgeois westerly wind overwhelm the proletarian easterly wind? In fact, the proletariat should also love beauty. Otherwise, Xi and Yang Bailao are poor like that, and Yang Bailao will buy Xi's Al 2-foot red rope to dress up?

"Ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi". A few years later, around 1977, just after the Cultural Revolution, the popular small trouser legs suddenly became big trouser leg tubes, commonly known as "bell bottoms". Young people parade around the city in this kind of big trouser leg tube that is more than eight inches or even more than a foot, as if dragging two big brooms around the ground. Although "bell-bottoms" have also been criticized by some people, after all, the Cultural Revolution has passed and the times have improved, and the excessive behavior of cutting trouser legs in the street has not happened again.

In 1970s, trouser legs, with their small size and large size, triggered people's concept of fashion reform and opening up. Nowadays, this concept has been completely replaced by personalized and fashionable avant-garde concepts. People will never make a fuss about some people's clothes, even if the upper part shows their navel and the lower part shows their thighs. As long as you dare to wear it, as long as you can wear it, that is your freedom, and others have no right to interfere. "What exists is reasonable", which is what Hegel said. The person who shouted the loudest revolutionary slogan in the past has now entered the fashion show in the street: an aunt Wang who didn't like small leg tubes and big leg tubes in the past, guess what happened to her today? She is the captain of today's old fashion model team.
