Video of the Evolution of Traditional Costume in Qing Dynasty

Clothing in Qing dynasty is characterized by narrow sleeves, but loose body. Because most of the costumes in the Qing dynasty advocated simplicity, there were not many patterns on the clothes, and the only thing that stood out was the pattern of the cloth. Because Manchu dominated the Qing Dynasty, the dress characteristics of the Qing Dynasty must be based on satisfying people's dress characteristics, and of course it must also absorb some Han dress culture. Manchu people are conservative, so the biggest feature of clothes is conservatism.

Watching TV dramas in the Qing Dynasty, you should also find that women and men in the Qing Dynasty are very conservative in their clothes, and the people watching them are suffocating. Especially in the Qing dynasty, you can only show your hands from head to toe, and other places are wrapped under clothes. But the costumes of the Qing dynasty did influence modern costumes. Women's clothing in Qing Dynasty is also called flag clothing, which is a kind of clothing worn by women in the Eight Banners in Qing Dynasty. In fact, the cheongsam that everyone wore later was evolved from the flag suit.

Because cheongsam began to appear in the Republic of China, and at that time it was also the time when the Qing Dynasty perished. Because at that time, we were in troubled times, and everyone's thoughts were rapidly opening. Flag clothing is equivalent to a bad habit in the old society. So in order to get rid of bad habits and make it more convenient to wear, cheongsam gradually appeared. Cheongsam has been passed down to this day, and it is also the traditional dress of Chinese women.

However, the current cheongsam is completely different from the flag dress at that time. Although there are some similarities in shape, the current cheongsam is more convenient to wear, and it can also show the figure curve of women and make women more dignified and elegant. Moreover, the costumes of the Qing Dynasty need to match the unique hairstyles of the Qing Dynasty, but nowadays people usually just wear their hair in cheongsam.
