Since the first COS show in Hong Kong in 1993, COSPLAY has developed for 22 years.During the period, under the dual action of the rise of domestic animation and the borrowing of game marketing, whether it is the size of the number of COS participants, the professionalism of COS, or even the public's awareness of it, China's COS has undergone tremendous changes.

China's COS level has achieved the effect of film and television blockbuster ("Badman" mobile game black and white impermanence)

As an auxiliary culture of animation and games, COS has undoubtedly become an important form of contemporary youth culture and entertainment.However, it is essentially a COS of imported products. In the background of China's cultural background, it is inevitable that there will be a traditional style of style, and the borrowing of marketing methods also gives it a commercial attribute.So, in the past 22 years, how does Chinese COS have grown and developed from small entertainment culture. What are the characteristics of COS at this stage?

Stone Age: China COS, which started from Hong Kong and Taiwan

The earliest birthplace of COS is Japan, where the animation game industry is very developed, or the United States, which is the first Disneyland in the world, has many controversies so far.However, the beginning of COS landing in China is Hong Kong, which is basically a determined historical fact.In 1993, a fan named "Four hundred feet" wearing the uniforms of the Allied forces in the Legend of the Galaxy Heroes appeared in Hong Kong, officially kicked off the curtain of Chinese COS.

Two years later, the first floor of Sagaworld, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, ushered in a COS activity based on video game characters.Although the COS size is not large, the following year, the three COS activities held by the "Super Orange Group" the following year, due to extensive publicity, Taiwan's COS has gradually formed a scale and entered a stage of rapid development.

In contrast, the COS in the Mainland was much later, and it was not until 1998 that there were scattered spontaneous COS shows on the exhibition.However, it is conducive to the increasingly mature COS of neighboring countries and regions such as Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc., and the mainland COS has been germinated to the first COS contest in the first COS competition, which is only two years apart.Among them, the frequent exhibitions and fellow conventions in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Beijing have also accelerated the growth of COS in the Mainland.

Early Chinese COS had significant cultural characteristics (the role of meteor butterfly sword)

Bronze Age: Chinese characteristics formed by leveraging games

Strictly speaking, COS is a role -playing form that is attached to ACG characters, visual bands, movies and novel illustrations.Relying on animation and movies in Japan and Europe, COS in Taiwan and Hong Kong has a rich carrier. At the beginning of the development of COS in the Mainland, due to the constraints of information dissemination, there is no similar advantage.In fact, this is also one of the reasons for the start of COS in the Mainland.

The Chinese style COS at the game exhibition is incorporated into fashion elements such as black silk (the role of sword fairy)
