It is understood that the purpose of creating the "Chinese cheongsam Art Gallery" is to let more people understand cheongsam, understand Chinese culture and allow more foreigners to come to Yantai. According to the leaders of the Yantai clothing association, the "Yantai cheongsam Museum" is a native born Chinese who has won the "excellent Chinese fashion designer".

In the traditional way of thinking, museums are created by state related units and invested by individuals. This is the first case. In the office of banner source dress, the reporter saw this legendary intellectual woman, and also learned from all aspects of the Chen Yanqin, chairman of Yantai flag source clothing company, which aims at promoting the traditional culture and promoting it.

Chen Yanqin was born in a cheongsam family in 1968. From the grandmother, mother to her, three generations of people have made cheongsam, so far has lasted a hundred years, rare in the country. She was once known as "the queen of cheongsam" and "the king of cheongsam". It is a native of Yantai. When he was more than 10 years old, his mother began to teach her to make cheongsam. When he was free, he often led Chen Yanqin to Beijing, Tianjin and Ji'nan for sightseeing. In 1989, Chen Yanqin moved his family back to Yantai. At the age of 21, he began to run classes and teach people to tailor technology. What she did not expect was that after four or five training sessions, the TV station invited her to do a costume talk show. Later, the program was awarded a prize in the whole country. After that, her daughter was born. In the year of caring for her daughter, she buried herself in costume design. In 1994, her "dream of clothes" conference was held in children's theater. At that time, there was no personal clothing conference in Yantai. The fashion show was like an earthquake, which shocked people's old thinking. More than 100 costumes were refreshing. She also creatively integrated Chinese calligraphy into fabric design for the first time. For a moment, Chen Yanqin's name disappeared. In March 8, 1995, she formally established the "Chen Yanqin clothing design society", then set up Chen Yanqin clothing company, and then opened four branches. At that time, she was quite famous in Yantai, and she was not yet 30 years old, but she was not satisfied. She always believed that as a Chinese fashion designer, she should take up the responsibility. National culture The important task of inheritance, development and innovation. In December 1999, on the stage of China International Fashion Week, Chen Yanqin, one of the 30 top fashion designers selected by the China Apparel Association and the Ministry of textile industry, was invited to China International Fashion week. At that time, most of the participants were well-known clothing enterprises in the country, compared with her flag company. But she has designed more than 100 "Chinese clothes" with Chinese national cultural characteristics.

The success of the fashion week brought Chen Yanqin great confidence. She has opened nearly 30 stores in the country, only 6 in Beijing, and one in Japan and Austria. Some famous actors in China, such as Xi Meijuan, Ni Ping, Li Lin, Qiong Yao, Yu Junjian, Tang Guoqiang, Zang Tianshuo and so on, have become regular customers. After returning to Yantai, she took care of children, studied Chinese and foreign costumes, and extensively photographed, music, painting, religion and other aspects to enrich herself, and set up a flag source women's club. During this period, she still remembered cheongsam. Qipao originated from Manchu women's dress in Qing Dynasty. It is the quintessence of Chinese culture and a miniature of ritual. A cheongsam often reflects the beauty of implicit, restrained and tolerant Chinese culture. In the 20s and 30s of last century, Qipao was very popular in Shanghai. It disappeared in 60s and 70s and began to revive in 90s. With the improvement of people's living standard, and the design masters of various fields begin to pay attention to Chinese cheongsam culture and incorporate the cheongsam elements into their design, it has more and more influence on Chinese people's love for cheongsam.

Speaking of Qipao, Chen Yanqin said: "cheongsam should not only inherit, but also innovate on the basis of its own, so that it can be more close to life." Qiyuan company currently has five series of cheongsam and thousands of varieties. It has ceremonious dress gowns, leisure style cheongsam, and professional cheongsam and dynamic cheongsam. Last year, she sprouted the idea of creating the Qipao art gallery.

Chen Yanqin told reporters to create " Cheongsam Art Gallery The purpose is to let more people understand cheongsam, understand Chinese culture, and let more foreigners come into Yantai. According to her introduction, the cheongsam museum is located in the Yantai mountain scenic area. The exhibition hall has a total of more than 1500 square meters, which is divided into three parts: history, modern and future. The "historical part" shows the early cheongsam archetype, production tools and textile raw materials. The modern part shows pictures of influential people in qiongpao from all walks of life, and the future part shows the cheongsam works with originality and future flavor.

In addition, the cheongsam museum also has a button room and special exhibition room. The button room displays more than 100 kinds of hand made cloth buttons, and the special exhibition hall is used to display the works of masters of design at home and abroad with cheongsam as design elements. At present, the cheongsam Art Gallery has been renovated.

"Culture is the blood of a nation and the spiritual home of people." Chen Yanqin said that doing culture can not only inherit the unique Chinese national culture, but also make a contribution to the strong cultural market, and add cultural taste to the charming Yantai. If possible, the cheongsam Cultural Festival can also be built in the future.
