The Beauty of Cheongsam is a remake of the Australian drama Miss Fisher's Detective Stories, which is a minority detective drama in China, but it has a good reputation. The play tells the story of Su (Ma Yili), a female detective who returned from Paris, France, and Luo Qiuheng (Wen Ge), the inspector of the central patrol room of the French Concession, working together to solve the unsolved case.
It is customary in China to call the period from the founding of the Republic of China to the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC) the Republic of China. Because the Republic of China 19 12 (the year after the Revolution of 1911) was officially announced on New Year's Day, it was called the first year of the Republic of China.
In the field of history, "the early years of the Republic of China" generally refers to the first ten years or so after the founding of the Republic of China. From 65438 to 0922, the government of the Republic of China was divided into Beijing and Guangzhou, as well as the so-called northern warlords. Historians usually call this stage a warlord scuffle. After the Northern Expedition, 1927 was still the capital of Nanjing in the Republic of China, and it was always called the Nanjing government of the Republic of China until the outbreak of the all-round anti-Japanese war in 1937.
The changes of women's clothing in this period were particularly remarkable, especially the combination of Chinese and western. During this period, the most common clothes in the Republic of China were roughly divided into cheongsam, student clothes, foreign clothes and other styles.
First of all, according to the traditional dress of Manchu women, cheongsam was popular in the Republic of China, which was the daily dress of many girls at that time. Qipao was actually in the late 1920s, that is, the New Culture Movement was influenced by European and American costumes, which awakened people's pursuit of beauty. Therefore, women pay more attention to the "curvaceous beauty" of the body. The design of cheongsam is biased towards self-cultivation, generally tailored and elegant in color.
Su has to put on different cheongsam and dresses in almost every episode, and the slim cheongsam will show the graceful and charming characters in a glance. Ma Yili is a Shanghainese, and Su occasionally speaks a few soft and euphemistic Shanghainese words, which is also very attractive for this role.

It is the style of the Republic of China-student dress, which inherits the style of wearing a coat on the top and a skirt on the bottom in Hanfu. However, in the early Republic of China, the skirt length was gradually shortened, the waist was closed, and there was an inverted horn design, which was the predecessor of the May 4th dress. After the Northern Expedition, students' clothing really took shape. The students' clothing was mainly light blue cloth tops with cheongsam neckline, but generally it was just buttocks. Then the lower body is paired with a dark blue skirt or a black pleated skirt, generally without decorative patterns, mainly simple.
Although most of the time in the Republic of China was dominated by cheongsam, under the influence of western culture, many western-style clothes appeared. We can often see women wearing dresses and hats with western elements from many TV dramas with the theme of the Republic of China, which shows that western-style clothing has become a fashionable dress for women at that time. In addition to skirts, western-style coats were also sought after by many fashionable ladies at that time. Whether it is aristocratic fur or other western-style coats, it has become synonymous with fashion in the Republic of China.
In short, during the Republic of China, China's clothing began to transition to western-style clothing, and both cheongsam and western-style clothing showed the characteristics of internationalization and modernization.
