(Women's Stills in the Republic of China)

During the Republic of China, all kinds of brand-new educational models swept the country, and new primary schools, middle schools and even universities were built all over the country, but students' textbooks, etiquette and clothing changed. In fact, great changes have taken place not only in schools, but also in all aspects of social life. The change of clothing is a reflection of this great social change.

First of all, it should be clear that both men's and women's clothing changed during the Republic of China, and not only women's clothing had a complete evolution. During the Republic of China, men wore three kinds of clothes. The first one is the robe, jacket and melon seed cap that continue the Manchu habit.

It was worn by a large number of people who were deeply influenced by the Qing government, mainly the older generation of scholars or the new generation who had studied foreign things but thought China was good. Typical is to educate everyone Gu Hongming. In fact, he is only the spokesman of this group of people, not that he did it alone.

Secondly, they wear suits. They are deeply influenced by foreign cultures. These people have either studied in the west or gone abroad, and many of them do business with westerners, so they dress like them. The most important reason is that there was no ban on clothes during the Republic of China, and the government did not interfere.

Finally, that part was influenced by foreign culture, which ended the feudal social habits but always retained the characteristics of China. Here are the dresses and cheongsam that everyone is most concerned about. The man's gown is very imposing, and the woman's cheongsam is beautiful. But this kind of dress was still very popular in big cities or literati at that time.

The same is true of the evolution of women's clothing in the Republic of China. The older generation of women still retain the dress culture of the Qing Dynasty, while those who have stayed abroad or married foreigners either wear suits with them or combine Chinese and Western styles. The rest is to get rid of feudal habits and keep China characteristics, including cheongsam and student clothes. Women's dresses in the city are similar to those for students in Otawa, but the colors are different.
