Anyone who has seen the drama of the Qing Palace should understand that all the women in the Qing Palace are dressed as flag bearers, so it seems very inconvenient to move. It can be said that this kind of clothing is not suitable for working people at all, and in fact it is. In the Qing Dynasty, only those nobles could wear this kind of clothing, so cheongsam was also a status symbol at that time.
After the demise of the Qing dynasty, cheongsam did not disappear forever, but appeared in the Republic of China soon after. However, the cheongsam of the Republic of China is a little different from that of the Qing Dynasty, except that the material is the same. The modeling design of cheongsam has been greatly improved, and the most important thing is to highlight the beauty of women's lines. This style became popular after World War I and developed in big cities. As a big city in China, Shanghai has the earliest natural development.
As we said above, cheongsam is a status symbol. If you wear cheongsam, it is not only inconvenient to do things, but also inconvenient to move. The popularity of cheongsam in Shanghai also shows that many women are beginning to get rid of heavy physical labor, and they prefer to show the curvaceous beauty of women.
At that time, the status of women was getting higher and higher. At that time, not only girls from rich families would wear cheongsam, but even ordinary families would wear cheongsam to participate in various social activities after work. In every corner of the city, women can often be seen wearing various cheongsam.
It's time for the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC). Cheongsam still exists in this city. Not only that, it also appears in other places. In many cities in China, cheongsam has also appeared in film and television works. The earliest film was Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love, which shows that the cheongsam culture has become a nostalgic culture.
