Why is cheongsam a feature of China?

When it comes to the beginning of cheongsam fashion, it is generally believed that it was in the 20th century and the Republic of China. Mr. Zheng said that "in the Qing Dynasty, women wore short clothes instead of cheongsam, and cheongsam was adopted after the Republic of China." As for the specific year, the previous research was vague. Both Mr. Zhou Xibao and Ms. Zhang Ailing believe that cheongsam became popular after 192 1 year. Zhou also inferred from the pictorial data of 1923 that there were only one or two so-called cheongsam among dozens of people in Shanghai at that time.

In fact, in view of the sensitivity of Shanghai press to social phenomena at that time, the popularity of a new style is bound to attract widespread attention. However, it is difficult to find words about cheongsam in newspapers such as Shenbao before May 1925, and a large number of materials provide evidence for the appearance of cheongsam in 1925. In the old imperial capital Beijing, it is also recorded that the fashion of cheongsam began at 1925.

Therefore, it is reasonable to regard the beginning time of cheongsam popularity as 1925.
