2、COS

COS is named after the word COSPLAY, which means "role-playing" and "animation reality show". Contemporary Cos is usually regarded as a sub-cultural activity, and its target characters generally come from animation, comics, games, electronic games, light novels, movies, TV series, special photos, idol groups, occupations, historical stories, social stories, legendary and unique things in the real world, or other self-created tangible characters. The method is to imitate these characters by deliberately wearing similar clothes, adding props, makeup modeling, body language and other parameters.

The origin of cost development—

The earliest origin of Cos may come from the interpretation of myths and legends, folk anecdotes, holiday stories, literary and artistic works, philosophical theories, plots of ancestor worship, exciting plots, eccentric ambitions and spiritual fantasies. And vividly present the characters and contents to be interpreted with corresponding costumes, props and plots.

These activities usually belong to theatrical performances, folk activities and so on. Strictly speaking, they are very different from today's Cosplay, but they can still be regarded as the origin of Cos culture, because Cos is based on costumes that imitate various dramas or anime works. For example, there are ancient Greek priests dressed up, and then there are two great Greek epics, Iliad and Odyssey. The active bards in the pre-8th century played the role of others.

The former became the prophet and prescient of later generations, and successfully explained the existence of apostles, while the latter, like the originator of modern drama, performed some heroic deeds in a superb way.

Gypsies, a nomadic people in Europe, can also be said to be the earliest costume performers.

Whenever they pass by, in order to survive, they get bread and water by performing myths and legends, folk anecdotes and singing, among which costumes and props for various performances are naturally indispensable equipment.

In masquerade balls, Halloween parades, New Year parades, National Day parades or special ceremonies held anytime and anywhere, many people dress up as characters of holiday stories or various mascots, showing a strong dress culture.
