The aesthetic characteristics of Chinese traditional cheongsam clothing

The development and evolution of 1 cheongsam

From the word meaning, the cheongsam refers to the gown worn by the flag men (both men and women), but only the gowns worn by the Eight Banners women are closely related to the cheongsam of the later generations, and they are not used as the "cheongsam" category for dress ceremonial robes or Python robes.

In the early Qing Dynasty, Manchu women were wearing Han clothing illegally. But in the late Qing Dynasty, Han women were also effective in Manchu costumes.

The blending of dress styles makes the difference between costumes less and less, and gradually becomes the prelude to the popularity of cheongsam.

Origin of Cheongsam

Cheongsam is the traditional fashion of Chinese women rising in modern times, rather than the traditional traditional costume.

It has a vicissitudes of the past and a new look.

Cheongsam itself has a certain historical significance, plus a relatively high degree of appreciation, so it has a certain collection value.

Although there are fewer women in modern cheongsam, many places in modern Qipao retain their traditional charm and reflect the beauty of fashion, so they also have certain collection value.

In a strong feudal ethical atmosphere, it is impossible to expect women to expose curves as they are now.

Therefore, the traditional cheongsam system has been straight line, chest, shoulder, waist and buttocks are straight, and the female body's curves are not exposed.

Evolution of Cheongsam

Cheongsam, as a traditional Chinese dress, is popular in 1920s. It is also the object of many women's praise nowadays.

It is not only light and suitable, but also fully embodies the graceful posture and smooth lines of women.

Qipao originated from the banners of the banners, and Beijing was the largest place where the banners lived. So until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, cheongsam belonged to Beijing culture.

The banners of the Qing Dynasty include men's robes and women's robes, but because Qipao are women's garments, they can also be said that Qipao is derived from the robe of a flag girl.

Cheongsam, as a traditional Chinese dress, is popular in twentieth Century. It is also the object of many women's praise nowadays.

It is not only light and suitable, but also fully embodies women.

And smooth lines.

The cheongsam in 20s is still wide and straight; the cheongsam's hem is bigger than that of Qin's popular sleeves, and the whole robe is also "upside down".

But shoulders, breasts and even the waist have been fitted.

Eileen Chang said: "the cheongsam of Chu Xing is cold and upright, and has a Puritan style.

"This is the first time," said the female writer who is good at observing and describing fashion. If it means 20s, it must be the impression of her childhood.

30s and 40s are the golden age of cheongsam and the most glorious period of modern Chinese women's clothing.

The cheongsam style is very long at this time, which is consistent with the fashionable dress of women in Europe at this time.

At this time, Qipao has completely jumped out of the banner of the banner of the female robe, and it is entirely a new style of "Chinese and Western combination".

First of all, there is a saying of "clique".

Local cheongsam is westernized, and Western-style handles are used outside the collar and sleeves, such as lotus leaf collar, western style lapel, Hollywood sleeve, etc.

Although the application of these reforms is not extensive, it indicates the freedom of thought at that time, and the original program of Qipao is no longer necessary.

The match between cheongsam and Western style coat is also a feature of the "clique", which makes the cheongsam enter the international clothing family and can combine with many modern clothes. In today's words, it has become "internationalized and modernized".

In the late 30s, "improved cheongsam" appeared again.

The cheongsam's cutting structure and structure are more westernized, and the Qipao is more suitable for the use of chest and waist provinces, while shoulder joints and sleeves are also formed, so that shoulders and armpits are fitted together.

Someone also makes the softer shoulder pad "beauty shoulder".

This shows that women begin to abandon the old ideal shape angle characterized by shoulders.

These cuts and structural changes were completed in Shanghai.

2 Qipao wearing characteristics

After the evolution of the first half of the twentieth Century, the basic characteristics and elements of cheongsam gradually stabilized.

Cheongsam becomes a classic dress.

Classics are relatively stable while fashion is changing.

But fashion designers often look for inspiration from the classic treasure house. Cheongsam is also a source of inspiration for designers.
