In this paper, I posit that the transformation of monastic habits is observed and maintained in East Asian school uniforms. School uniforms at the schools founded by religious orders, mainly by Protestant and Catholic missionaries, could have manifested faith and religious identity. These religious authorities, who acted as managers of civic education, coincided with other public and private schools founded in secular contexts, unlike the religious emblems of those groups in their home countries. Many schools founded by Christian missionaries in East Asia in the early twentieth century eliminated a “sacred versus profane” dichotomy in their school uniforms and school symbols. In the formulation of a nation state in East Asia, homogeneity among inhabitants was more important than a faith-based religious identity by each Christian missionary group. Wearers of school uniforms in East Asia were taught to nurture civic identity along with the faith.

在本文中，我认为在东亚校服中观察到并保持了修道院习俗的转变。由宗教命令建立的学校的校服，主要是新教徒和天主教传教士，可能表现出信仰和宗教身份。这些宗教当局，作为公民教育的管理者，与世俗背景下建立的其他公立和私立学校相遇，这与这些团体在其祖国的宗教标志不同。二十世纪初，基督教传教士在东亚建立的许多学校在校服和学校标志中消除了“神圣与亵渎”的二分法。在建立东亚民族国家时，居民之间的同质性比每个基督教宣教团体基于信仰的宗教身份更为重要。
