Extended information:

Does "cheongsam" specifically refer to the cheongsam that appeared in the Republic of China, or does it include the "banner robe" or "cheongsam robe" of the Qing Dynasty? The definition of the cheongsam concept is controversial in academic circles, as is the origin and style of cheongsam.

As we all know, during the Cultural Revolution, the cheongsam was criticized as a symbol of the "four olds" and "feudalism, capital and repair" and was ignored. The study of cheongsam became a forbidden area in academia until after the reform and opening up. Research on cheongsam has only gradually increased in mainland academic circles. In the early days after the reform and opening up, based on the policy of "the Chinese nation is one family" advocated by the government, and in order to prove that the cheongsam has a long history and noble origin, scholars studied the cheongsam and consciously put the relationship between the cheongsam of the Republic of China and the costumes of the bannermen of the Qing Dynasty into greater detail. Connect in many places. "The concept of cheongsam, including the Qing Dynasty bannermen's robes or banner girls' robes, is not particularly numerous, but it is also a school of its own."

For example, there is an annotation about cheongsam in "Cihai": " The cheongsam was originally a garment worn by Manchu women in the Qing Dynasty. It had no slits on both sides, sleeves eight inches to one foot long, and the edges were embroidered in colorful green. After the Revolution of 1911, it was accepted by Han women and improved to: Zhi. Collar, right side opening, tight waist, length below the knees, slits on both sides, and narrowed cuffs."

For example, Yu Feng's point of view: "The cheongsam, as the name suggests, refers to the period before and after the Manchus entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty. The robes of the Eight Banners women are the regular clothes of women outside the customs, mainly Manchus and Mongols... This kind of cheongsam is mainly popular in the north. Most women in the south still follow the customs of the Ming Dynasty and wear longer coats and long skirts. "

Another example is Yuan Jieying’s point of view: “The regular attire of the bannermen is different from the military uniform. It is usually a robe... It has always been a simple straight body as the basic style, and they are all called cheongsam.” “The cheongsam in the Qing Dynasty It is a kind of clothing for both men and women in the Qing Dynasty, with only slight differences in wearing styles. The differences between official and civilian clothing are in the selection of materials and accessories."

However, the concept of "cheongsam" includes the "banner people" in the Qing Dynasty. The idea of ??"robe" or "flag girl's robe" has been questioned in academic circles from the beginning. "In the vast literature of the entire Qing Dynasty, the word 'cheongsam' has never appeared. In the Qing Dynasty, the bannermen called the robes they wore as qipao or qizhuang, and in Manchu they called them 'yijie'. The word cheongsam is used as a The word with a specific meaning first appeared in the book "Xuehuan Xiupu" written by Shen Shou in 1918 and written by Zhang Rui: "There are three kinds of stretch: the big stretch was used to embroider the edge of cheongsam, so it is called edge stretch" here. The cheongsam is a noun that specifically refers to a certain type of embroidered clothing.

”

The main view in today’s academic circles is that “cheongsam” refers to the cheongsam of the Republic of China, which matured and formed a relatively stable form of women’s robes during the Republic of China. Here are some representative views: Zhou Xibao In his book "History of Ancient Chinese Clothing", he believes: "The robes of Manchu women... This kind of robe was extremely wide at first, and later gradually became smaller in waist. It was close to the eve of the Revolution of 1911. This kind of robe later evolved into one of the main costumes of Han women, which was later called cheongsam.

Bao Mingxin also made a special elaboration on this issue in his book "Chinese Cheongsam": "Regarding the cheongsam as the robe of the banner man or the robe of the banner girl, although it seems to be insignificant, Wrong, but it is unavoidable that the connotation of cheongsam is much richer than the robe of the bannermen or the robe of the flag girl. In a broad sense, it can be said that the cheongsam has experienced the robe of the flag girl in the Qing Dynasty, the new cheongsam of the Republic of China and the contemporary fashion cheongsam. Of the three periods of development, the new cheongsam during the Republic of China is the most typical and important. In a narrow sense, cheongsam is the cheongsam of the Republic of China. Of course, it can also include cheongsam that basically maintains the characteristics of the cheongsam of the Republic of China. ”

Bian Xiangyang said in his article "On the Popular Origin of Cheongsam": "The so-called 'cheongsam' refers to a piece of clothing (One-Piece Dress) that is attached to the dress. At the same time, it must have all or part of the following typical appearances: Symptoms: open or semi-open placket form on the right lapel, details of the stand-up collar and side slits, single piece of fabric, and flat cutting of the body and sleeves, etc. Although some people think that cheongsam includes Qing Dynasty flag dress. robes and robes worn by women during the Republic of China, but cheongsam in the usual sense generally refers to a style of women's clothing after the Republic of China in the 20th century."

There were also many articles about the concept of "cheongsam" in magazines during the Republic of China. For example, in the 1937 "Modern Family" magazine, an author signed by Chang Yan wrote in the article "The Evolution of Women's Cheongsam in the Past Fifteen Years": "What is a cheongsam can be said to be an evolution of Chinese women in the new era after the Republic of China. A new product, it can also be said that it is a coat that Chinese women imitated from the clothing styles of former Qing banner women.
