Who can help me introduce cheongsam in detail?

Cheongsam has a history of more than 300 years. Compared with many cultures in China, it is not particularly long. However, in the past 300 years, cheongsam has given birth to a world-renowned beautiful scenery. Since we love our China cheongsam, we should know its history.

Cheongsam is a typical national costume which is harmonious and unified inside and outside, and is known as the representative of China costume culture. It shows the virtuous, elegant, gentle and beautiful temperament and temperament of China women with flowing melody, chic painting and rich poetry.

Clothing can't exist in isolation from the human body, and so can cheongsam. Women's head, neck, shoulders, arms, chest, waist, hips, legs, hands and feet are skillfully combined to form a perfect whole. It seems that the aesthetic of cheongsam comes from here.

As a member of the robe family, the origin of cheongsam-jujube (jujube three tones) cheongsam can be traced back to the deep clothes in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Flag-bearer robes and cheongsam are not a fixed form, but a process of change and development. Although it seems that there is nothing wrong with treating cheongsam as the robe of a flag bearer or a flag girl, it is inevitable that it is a whitewash.

Early years of the Republic of China-a cheongsam that passed quietly.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the political situation in China was ups and downs. The Revolution of 1911 abolished the imperial system, established the Republic of China, cut braids, changed colors, destroyed it, and sent the crown service hierarchy belonging to the feudal dynasty to the history museum, all of which created conditions for the extension of the new cheongsam.

1920s-Inverted sleeves and new styles.

In the 10 era and the early 1920s, there was a period of "civilized new clothes" among urban women.

1930s-Golden Age (I)

The 1920s to 1940s was the most glorious period of modern women's wear in China, and the 1930s was the peak of this period. It was at this time that cheongsam established an irreplaceable position on the stage of women's wear and became a typical representative of women's wear in China.

1940s-Golden Age (2)

It can be said that the process of cheongsam going classic was basically completed in the 1930s, and the 40s was the continuation of its golden age.

The 1950s-there was a glorious moment.

In an era when people are masters of their own affairs, if clothes are popular, the leading role of fashion will turn to civilians.

Cold in the sixties and seventies -20 years.

The Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976 was a great disaster for traditional culture and cheongsam.

80' s and 90' s-glory is hard to come by.

The heyday of cheongsam has gone far away, and no one cares about it for 30 years. It seems to be somewhat outdated in the land after the opening in the 1980 s.

Cheongsam aesthetics

In the past ten years, the cheongsam reappeared in the fashion world frequently appeared in international fashion dances, and its charm was even better than that of that year. As a national representative, formal dress appears in various international social etiquette occasions.

Beijing School and Shanghai School of Cheongsam

Beijing School and Shanghai School represent two styles in art and culture. Shanghai style is characterized by absorbing western art, being innovative, flexible and diverse, and having a strong commercial atmosphere; The style of Beijing school has the style of official school, which is restrained and concise.

In a word, cheongsam is a traditional dress for women in China, not a lost historical dress. It has both the vicissitudes of the past and the brand-new present. Cheongsam itself has certain historical significance, high appreciation and great collection value. Although there are not many women wearing cheongsam in modern times, modern cheongsam still maintains its traditional charm in many places, and at the same time embodies the beauty of fashion, so it also has certain collection value.

Selection of Cheongsam Style and Fabric

-If you want to understand cheongsam, you must know the knowledge of buying it. After we know the relevant knowledge of purchasing, we will have our own opinions when purchasing cheongsam in the future.

First, the choice of style.

When buying cheongsam, you should pay attention to the novelty of the style. It is not only elegant and graceful, but also smooth and natural. In addition, you should also pay attention to styles and fabrics:

1, in terms of style, it is best to adopt the style of big round lapel, stand collar, sleeves, tight upper body and hem. Its body length is generally below the calf, the long sleeve is between the wrist and elbow, and the middle sleeve is as long as the elbow.

2. In terms of fabrics, it is advisable to buy high-grade fabrics with soft texture and elegant color. You can choose different fabrics according to your preferences, dressing style, figure and occupation.

The high-grade velvet cheongsam sewn with dark green and purple sauce red looks solemn, gorgeous, elegant and rich.

The cheongsam sewn with knitted polyester has a crisp, flat, smooth and dignified feeling, and the price is suitable.

Cheongsam made of brocade, antique satin and other fabrics, with elegant patterns and rich national temperament, is the most popular commodity for young and middle-aged women.

Cheongsam made of printed silk, soft yarn and other fabrics is comfortable, cool and generous, and looks natural and beautiful.

Second, the choice of fabrics

Cheongsam has a history of more than 300 years. It is a representative dress of China women with strong national characteristics, which embodies the traditional art of herding in China and is unique in the world. There are many kinds of cheongsam, so you should pay attention to the following two points when purchasing.

It depends on your own needs. For example, wedding dresses (cheongsam) are not only excellent in fabric texture but also colorful and full of festive colors; The dress (cheongsam) for the welcome dinner should be high-grade and luxurious, with soft and generous colors and stable and elegant appearance; Casual cheongsam can be arbitrary, highlighting personality and body beauty, and is comfortable and convenient to wear.

The specifications of ready-made cheongsam on the market are all made according to the popular figure. Because everyone's figure has its own particularity, and cheongsam is a kind of clothing that tends to be tight-fitting and cohesive, the size specification is an important indicator for purchasing cheongsam. Therefore, when you buy a cheongsam, you must accurately measure your "measurements", that is, chest circumference, waist circumference and hip circumference, which are appropriate or slightly redundant with the "measurements" of the cheongsam. Then, try it on in the fitting room to see if its "measurements" fit comfortably, and then look at the length and thickness of the collar, body and sleeves. When choosing clothes other than dresses, the size of cheongsam is very strict, otherwise it will lose its style and uniqueness.

Selection of cheongsam fabric: the selection of cheongsam is very extensive. In summer, you can choose pure cotton printed muslin, printed poplin, yarn-dyed poplin, assorted poplin, all kinds of linen yarn, printed striped satin, jacquard cloth and other light fabrics to wear in your daily life. The self-made short cheongsam is light and cool, beautiful and practical. In spring and autumn, you can choose chemical fiber or blended textiles, such as bright silk, polyester silk, tweed and other fabrics. Although these fabrics have poor hygroscopicity and air permeability, they are smoother and more beautiful than cotton fabrics, and are suitable for wearing in lukewarm seasons.

It is elegant to wear cheongsam as a concierge or performance. Wearing in summer, cheongsam fabrics should be made of silk crepe de chine, spun silk, electrospun silk, Hangluo and other silk fabrics. The fabric is soft, light, non-sticky and comfortable and cool. Wearing in spring and autumn, cheongsam fabrics should choose all kinds of satin and velvet, such as brocade, antique satin, jade satin, crepe satin, georgette velvet and golden velvet. Cheongsam made of these high-grade fabrics can fully show the beauty of oriental women's figure, with prominent dotted lines, rich charm, elegance and nobility. If the chest, collar and lapel are slightly decorated, it will be even more dazzling.

Classification, washing and collection of cheongsam

-The maintenance of cheongsam is very important for us who own cheongsam.

First, the arrangement of cheongsam.

At present, most women wear cheongsam made of brocade fabric, which is not suitable for washing, so you should be very careful when wearing it, especially not to be contaminated with oil stains, cola and lipstick, because these substances are the most difficult to clean, even if they are sent to dry cleaners, they may not be completely removed, so we suggest:

1 cheongsam should not be worn for several days.

2. Pay attention to sharp objects to avoid hooking the hook hole and cheongsam.

Don't roll up your sleeves for convenience.

Second, the washing and ironing of cheongsam.

If the newly worn cheongsam gets dirty by accident, you can spread a slightly wet cloth in the dirty place and iron it with an iron, so that some dust will adhere to the cloth, which not only cleans the cheongsam, but also plays the role of ironing.

Third, the collection of cheongsam

If you don't wear cheongsam, hang it with a hanger (wide) and pay attention to propping up your shoulders. Remember to put away the mothproof products before hanging them in the closet.

Look at the posture and choose cheongsam

Choose the cheongsam that suits you best according to your own conditions.

Cheongsam is a traditional dress for women in China. Its lines are clear and close-fitting, which fully shows the curvaceous beauty of women. Modern cheongsam is the most ideal dress for women in China, and even some foreign women compete to wear it.

The high collar of cheongsam gives people an elegant and solemn feeling, and the fashion and figure of tight waist reflect the curve of waist and hip; Especially the split on both sides, the lower corner flutters slightly when walking, which has a light and lively feeling. Cheongsam made of plain cotton poplin or polyester-cotton fine cloth can be worn everyday, simple and generous. Cheongsam made of small flowers, plain squares and thin silk can show a gentle and steady style. Cheongsam made of cotton satin and velvet is the most luxurious dress for welcoming guests and banquets, which is solemn and elegant. In recent years, the application of batik, tie-dyeing, manual gift and other techniques in cheongsam has made cheongsam step into the ranks of high-end fashion.

Cheongsam can be divided into sleeveless, short sleeve, medium sleeve and long sleeve. Collar type has traditional and collarless changes; The improved cheongsam skirt is also deeply loved by ladies.

Qipao is well dressed. Cheongsam is a dress, which is obviously not suitable as a hotel uniform; Some people wear cheongsam to ride bicycles, which is very unsightly; You must wear pantyhose when wearing cheongsam to prevent the socks from being indecent; Standing is like standing, sitting is like sitting, and it is unsightly to tilt your legs, fork your feet, lift your legs and push your stool after wearing cheongsam.

Choosing cheongsam should be considered from many aspects such as age, figure and season. For older women, the color of the fabric should be darker and the style should be looser to show solemnity, gentleness and elegance. Middle-aged women should choose colorful and elegant cheongsam, even embroidery and piping to show elegance. Young women should choose gorgeous and beautiful colors and fancy and lively and handsome styles, which reflect youthful bodybuilding and vigor. As far as the season is concerned, in spring and autumn, when the weather is cool, you should choose thin wool or thick medium-long fiber cheongsam, which is both warm and crisp. The weather is getting hotter in early summer, so you can choose a half-sleeve cheongsam made of chemical fiber fabric, which is light, cool and cheap. When the summer is hot and dry, you should choose a collarless sleeveless cheongsam made of thin cloth or silk, which is cool and pleasant to wear, like a fan. You can also wear cheongsam in winter, but it should be made of silk cotton and camel hair. If you put fur on it, it will become a fur robe.

The cheongsam with high neck and tight tie looks solemn and elegant, but it depends on the posture. A tight high collar for people with slender necks; It will highlight the deficiency of the neck and the collar will be shorter and wider to make up for this deficiency. The split of the hem of the cheongsam should be proportional to the height, slender and wide. You will look handsome when you walk. If the slit is small, it is difficult to wrap the leg. Short legs, short legs, and smaller swing range can be coordinated properly.

Cheongsam is the clothing that can best show the beauty of the body and needs a special fit. When choosing a ready-made cheongsam, you must try it on carefully in the fitting room. Not only the length should be appropriate, but also the collar, shoulder width, chest circumference, waist circumference and hip circumference should be appropriate. Even the waist length, chest distance and waist-to-hip distance should be appropriate. Too tight movements are inconvenient, and too loose, it is difficult to present the physical beauty of women.
