What schools are cheongsam divided into?

Cheongsam is divided into Beijing School, Shanghai School and Su School. Cheongsam, the traditional dress of women in China and even China in the world, is known as the quintessence of China and the national costume of women. Although there are many controversies about its definition and time, it is still one of the most splendid phenomena and forms in China's long-standing costume culture.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, some people improved the flag dress to make it waist-closed, absorbed the stand-up collar of Han costumes, and split it left and right to get the Beijing-style cheongsam.

The piping of Beijing-style cheongsam is very wide, knee-high and conservative, and so are the cuffs. In the design style, some traditional peony, Meilan and celadon are also selected. In terms of color, it is also a calm and dignified color system, not too bright. Beijing cheongsam has a unique dignified tradition. Give people a very mature charm.

The fabrics of Beijing cheongsam are mainly traditional silks and satins, which are heavy. Printed cloth lacks Shanghai style, and its color is not influenced by the west. Compared with the openness and innovation of Shanghai School, Beijing School is conservative and traditional.

However, the decoration of Beijing-style cheongsam is richer than that of Shanghai-style cheongsam, with complicated embroidery patterns or woven patterns as beauty, which fully shows the charm of cheongsam itself.

From the perspective of preserving China's traditional culture, Beijing-style cheongsam more truly embodies the essence of traditional culture. However, nowadays, Beijing-style cheongsam is generally used as a high-end customized model, and Shanghai-style cheongsam is more common in the market. Compared with Beijing style, Shanghai style cheongsam is another style.
