The modern world's multicultural exchanges changes people's social life from various aspects, it is also an important factor in affecting the development of the modern society and history. As the external dominant ingredient of the social culture, the apparel custom reflects the social cultural characteristics influenced by the modern spirit, racial psychology, economy, development of science and technology, political regulations and so on. Studying the apparel custom and the phenomenon of modern society from a view of international cultural exchanges can enrich and expand the study fields of sociology, folklore, history and other related subjects, and it also can provide study references for historic theory of clothing, clothing in fashion and apparel psychology etc, which is of historic and realistic significance.This dissertation introduces the present situation of modern Shandong apparel through the methods of field survey, literature search and differential describe, demonstrates the exterior changes and the style of clothing, explains from different angle the influence of international cultural exchanges to the evolution of modern Shandong clothing using the method of comparative study and analytical study, and sums up its tendency of evolution. The conclusion treats historical materialism and dialectical materialism of Marxism as the dominate idea, gives a summary of the characteristics of modern clothing influenced by both traditional folklore and industrial civilization and puts forward constructive suggestions to the preservation and development of traditional folk clothing.Both of western material and spiritual culture's inrush and penetration pushed a boom in industry and commerce, changes of life style, varied classes of clothes-consuming and an updated dressing concept. The reform and opening-up policy directly influenced the spinning and weaving clothing industry of Shandong community, which has acquired a rapid growth in level of productivity. Common clothes-consuming style has been transformed during the process of modern industry and commerce's development. The newly-born city culture is gradually becoming the leading civilization of society and even has given birth to new urban custom, which appears especially remarkable in comparatively easy-changing areas like dress and make-up. As a center of clothes making, sale and spreading, city's orientation of dressing fashion influences the rural areas around continuously. The development of media decreases the unfamiliar feeling about alien culture to some degree and improves communication. The concept of "global village" planted deep in heart, fashion becomes the common language without barrier of people from different regions, different races or different nations. The modernization of material life has brought people great convenience in life and living environment, and is also producing changes of traditional dressing habit. As the reform and opening-up drive deepens, the aesthetic affected mainly by politics, economy, and awareness of sex is also an essential reason for the changes of social dressing custom.As the reform and opening up drives deepens, the evolution of Chinese clothing custom has shown up the following 5 characteristics: first, the traditional clothing drops while the western style clothing is enriched day by day; second, policy plays less important role on clothing; third, the economic growth negatively effects the traditional clothing; fourth, the input of foreign culture is more than the output of the domestic culture; fifth, traditional clothing influenced by post cultural modernism comes back..The evolution of modern Shandong apparel custom can be regarded as the miniature of the development of Chinese clothing style after the reform and opening up policy: influences from every part mixes here, especially the influences of traditional Shandong custom and industrial civilization gave birth to the modern clothing custom, which is of typical significance. Clothing and ornament industry of Shandong community has benefited a lot from international cultural exchanges, yet some problems still exist. The introduction of western clothing is almost at the cost of traditional folk clothing. Modern western clothing spreads from areas with advanced industry, high living standard and wide-spread information to surrounding areas. Regions where traditional clothing doesn't change much are usually ones with slow living pace and comparatively poor economy and culture. Under such background of social culture, the preservation of traditional clothing can't be accomplished simply by copying and resuming tradition. The ad vocation of traditional clothing culture should resort to a way of development and innovation.
