The Historical Origin Of The Chinese Tunic Suit

The Chinese tunic suit was born after the success of the Xinhai Revolution. It is the Chinese style dress designed and advocated by Mr. Sun Zhongshan, the great pioneer of democratic revolution.

In 1912, when Sun Zhongshan became the provisional president of the Republic of China, he promulgated a series of decrees and policies for political, economic reform and social reform.

"Braid" and "easy to serve" are the major reforms.

He called on the people to "clean up the old stain and become the people of the new country".

At that time, in order to abandon the Qing Dynasty government's gown, the uniform of the revolutionary party and the uniform of the revolutionary party, he hoped to have a new dress which is suitable for health, convenient for movement, economical and vigorous.

After careful consideration, Sun Zhongshan decided to design in person, made by the Revolutionary Party member, overseas Chinese, Huang Longsheng.

First of all, the Nanyang overseas Chinese's "enterprise collar" and students' wear are the basis of the suit. The characteristics of the suit are blended. A lapel is added to the straight collar, and three dark bags are changed into four clear bags. The clothes are also covered with a "inverted penholder cover" with the inverted Hill shape, and each button is set, which is both beautiful and safe.

The four clear bags are made of "Piano bag" with a freely adjustable and flexible shape, designed to facilitate the placement of essentials such as books and notebooks.

After several modifications, it has been identified as the three buttons of the closed lapel, the cuff border, the four bags and five buckles, and has been integrated into the Chinese traditional culture and the ideal of revolution.

In this way, the Zhongshan suit was set in 1912.

Its birth condenses Mr. Sun Zhongshan's wisdom and struggle ideals, and is a classic creation for the Chinese costume culture.

It represents the Chinese people's patriotic spirit of revitalizing the Chinese nation and striving for self-improvement.

Under the vigorous advocacy of Sun Zhongshan, the whole nation advocated, and later evolved into a new generation of Chinese people's symbolic dress, which is recognized as the "national costume" of China by the world.
