Cheongsam, as a dress that can best show the beauty of women in China, what is its origin?

Cheongsam is the robe of the flag bearer in Qing Dynasty, which was born in the early 20th century and prevailed in 1930s and 40s. Experts regard the 1920s as the starting point of the popularity of cheongsam, which reached its peak in 1930s and soon spread from its birthplace to all parts of China.

At that time, Shanghai was a blessed place for high-class ladies and high-class socialites. They are keen on swimming, playing golf, flying and riding horses. Their luxurious social life and fashion pursuit doomed the popularity of cheongsam. Because Shanghai has always advocated the Shanghai-style western lifestyle, the "improved cheongsam" appeared relatively late. From concealing the body curve to showing the exquisite and abrupt curvaceous beauty of women, cheongsam has completely got rid of the old model and become one of the fashions with unique national characteristics for women in China.
