What kind of clothes did the Han people in Qing Dynasty wear? Is it a cheongsam?

Han people in Qing dynasty didn't wear cheongsam.

Women's clothing in Qing dynasty:

During the period of Kangxi and Yongzheng, Han women still kept Ming style, and clothes and long skirts were popular in small sleeve. After finishing, the clothes are getting fatter and shorter, the cuffs are getting wider and wider, and with the cloud shoulders, the pattern renovation is endless. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, urban women had put on skirts and trousers, which were inlaid with lace and rolled teeth, and most expensive clothes were spent on them.

Men's wear in Qing dynasty:

Men's wear in the Qing Dynasty was dominated by robes and jackets, and the sleeves were horseshoe-shaped, which was unprecedented in previous dynasties. The robe is simple in shape and has a straight collar and a large lapel. There are seams in the front and back of the robe, and there are two slits, four slits and no slits at the hem.

In order to facilitate riding and shooting, the royal nobles wore robes with slits on all sides, that is, the front and back seams of the clothes and the slits on the left and right sides, while the civilians wore round slits on the left and right sides or those that could not be opened.

Extended data:

From the records of imperial edicts on folk costumes issued by the imperial court during Shunzhi period, we can learn some specific situations of costume changes. In October of the first year of Shunzhi, it was ordered that civilian clothes should be made like lighting, and there was no provision for civilian clothes.

In June of the second year of Shunzhi, it was stipulated that the shaving system should be observed within ten days, and offenders would be killed without forgiveness. It is said that there was an old Han man who had to dress up as a man because he didn't want to shave his head.

Countless people were forced to die because they refused to shave their heads, and many people were forced to dress up as men. In November of the fourth year of Shunzhi, the system of official clothes and civilian clothes was determined, but only colors and materials were used, and the clothing style was still unclear.

Until the Qianlong period, it was stipulated that the national flag was generally worn in cities and densely populated areas, and civilians in closed areas still did not wear mandarin jackets or red tassels.

Even some men with braids tie their braids around their heads and wear a felt hat, which is difficult to identify from the outside. Especially in the early Qing dynasty, the braid was very short, which was even more difficult to distinguish.

When Manchu entered the customs, men were forced to change clothes, and women's clothes were gradually realized. At that time, the resistance of women's modification was great, and it was difficult to change plain clothes, but it greatly attracted Manchu people.

Many banners also deliberately imitate China costumes. Although Manchu foot-binding was forbidden by imperial edict in Qianlong period, the attraction of foreign women's clothing made many Manchu people disobey the imperial edict from time to time.
