What is the origin and significance of the Zhongshan suit?

The origin and significance of Zhongshan clothing is as follows:

In 1919, Dr. Sun Yat-sen asked Henry's Clothing Store in Shanghai to convert a set of British Army uniforms into civilian clothes. This set of civilian clothes, on the basis of retaining certain styles of military uniforms, drew on the advantages of Chinese clothing and suits, and appeared to be concise, simple and generous. Due to the promotion of Mr. Sun Yat-sen and his fame, this style of civilian clothes was quickly spread, and after continuous modification, it developed into the Zhongshan suit, and became a common clothing for Chinese men.
