"‘You shouldn’t wear pajamas when going out,’ was a request from the Shanghai municipal government before the 2010 World Expo. This statement sparked widespread debate. On one side, it was argued that wearing pajamas does not conform to international etiquette. On the other hand, some people worried that such a rule would limit personal freedom and reduce the sense of community autonomy.
The report highlighted that in Shanghai, it was common for people to wear pajamas on the streets—whether in alleys, markets, supermarkets, or even on Nanjing Road, one of the most famous commercial streets. A woman in colorful pajamas, paired with nice leather shoes, could be seen walking to the market to buy a bag of salt or taking out the trash. These scenes were once considered a typical image of Shanghai’s culture. However, in the context of modern civilization, this habit is widely seen as an uncivilized behavior, whether acknowledged or not.
Since it is indeed a bad habit, it should be abandoned without hesitation. The public authorities’ call during the World Expo for citizens to “not wear pajamas when going out†was not unreasonable at all. In fact, it was a modest form of civilized regulation, reflecting an evolution in management ethics rather than a restriction of public rights. The term “restriction†refers to the method, while the underlying intention is care and warning. In the long run, such measures benefit urban civilization and social morality. It is hoped that after the World Expo, the practice of politely discouraging people from wearing pajamas outside can continue.
Civilization is both a state and a mindset, and its existence naturally comes with rules and regulations. The argument that “not wearing pajamas when going out†infringes on social freedom is actually quite humorous. There is no absolute freedom—no one lives in a vacuum. We are all subject to laws, rules, and moral boundaries. Our behavior must follow certain norms and maintain a sense of proportion. If freedom were completely unrestricted, people might do anything they want, like running naked in the streets. But obviously, such behavior is not acceptable.
Some argue that in Western countries, people can go streaking freely, and it's common to see women in bikinis on the street. This line of thinking may sound reasonable, but it’s essentially a misinterpretation. I’m not sure if such scenes are really common abroad, but cultural customs are deeply rooted in tradition. Just because it’s common in the U.S. for women to wear bikini tops in public doesn’t mean it’s appropriate in China. Moreover, a bikini is still a piece of clothing, not underwear. If we consider a bikini equivalent to undergarments, then why do we still wear swimsuits when swimming? Why not just wear our underwear in the pool?
In short, "freedom" is two different concepts. One is complete laissez-faire, with no limits. The other is freedom of belief—modest self-restraint that ensures civilization and social order. What we should truly uphold is the freedom of belief. After all, pajamas are meant for private use. Why should they be worn in public? Is it really so hard to avoid wearing them outside? At the core of this issue is a lack of respect for civil rules. Spitting on the ground or jaywalking are similar in nature. Refusing to accept people wearing pajamas in public shows that the fear of civilization and order has not yet fully developed, which is something worth being cautious about.
