The traditional Chinese type showed changes only in the width and length retaining the features of the traditional qipao until the 1910s. The China-Europe adjustment type used the same flat pattern making of traditional Chinese dress while imitating only the appearances of European one-piece, two-piece and three-piece dresses. It also was presented with European accessaries and hair-styles. The China-Europe blend type, starting to appear with the introduction of the three-dimensional pattern making from the Europe in the 1930s, showed a perfect mixture of European and traditional Chinese costumes in the early 1940s when the Chinese learned and adapted the European pattern making. The European type was the most modernized designs using a variety of European-style details and constructions as the traditional clothing started to have unrestricted European-style changes.

"일대일로" 전략을 세운 이래 중국은 중의약(中醫藥)을 해외에 보급하였고 더불어 중의약 교육 및 중의약 문화의 현대화라는 큰 성과를 거두었다. 그러나 중의약의 해외 보급 및 발전은 여전히 중국의 문화 강대국으로 발전시키고자 하는 국가의 전략적 요구와 중의약의 역사적 사명 사이의 격차가 여전히 존재하고 있다. 특히, 중의약의 문화 이론, 해외 전파 방식, 전문용어 번역 등에는 여전히 어려움과 이를 해결하고자 하는 도전은 여전히 잔존하고 있다. "일대일로" 전략의 맥락에서 중의약 종사자는 문화적 이상과 자신감을 강화하여야 한다. 또한 중의약 이론의 대중화를 미디어를 충분히 이용하여 강화하여야 한다. 더불어 중의약의 해외 보급 수단을 개선하고, 다문화 언어 교류를 가속화 해야 한다. 이에 중의약 문화의 혁신을 의사 소통 실천으로 실현하고 중의약의 대외 교류와 협력을 강화하며 중의약의 해외 발전을 촉진할 것을 제언하였다.

The present study examined generational differences in ethnicity maintenance among Korean-Chinese to understand the impact of recent social change on a Korean-Chinese ethnic community in China. A total of 1355 Korean-Chinese (557 parents and 798 children), who live in Shenyang, China, participated in this study. The subjects were asked about their language use during daily conversations and cultural activities. They were also asked about their ethnic identity and perceptions of social distance from Chinese people. The results reveal that the Korean-Chinese parent generation is more likely to maintain its ethnic language, while the child generation is more likely to maintain its ethnic culture. Second, more parents than children considered themselves as 'Korean-Chinese' rather than 'Chinese'. Third, members of the child generation show less social distance from Chinese people than do the parent generation. These results show a strong tendency towards ethnicity maintenance among Korean Chinese as well as recent changes in the community. This study argues for the importance of school education and school environment in maintaining the ethnic language and culture of Korean-Chinese children.
