Why do people in China seldom wear cheongsam?

First of all, China's culture has been destroyed several times in history. Needless to say, Qin Shihuang burned books and buried Confucianism for too long. The two closest to us are the Qing army's entry into the customs and the May 4th Movement, which destroyed the traditional culture of the Han nationality for thousands of years (shaving their heads and changing clothes), while the May 4th Movement also destroyed the traditional Confucianism in China while opposing feudalism. After that, China was over-westernized, but lost its traditional things.

In addition, cheongsam and mandarin jacket were not originally the national costumes of the Han nationality, but they were all branded with Manchu rule. The real custom of Hanfu was destroyed by Manchu rulers after the Qing army entered the customs. China people wore Hanfu for thousands of years, and finally became cheongsam and mandarin jacket in Qing Dynasty. So the revival is not the revival of cheongsam, but the revival of Hanfu.

I suggest you go to Hanfu Post Bar, where there are a large number of people who are committed to reviving our national costumes, and encourage people to wear our traditional costumes on traditional festivals and important occasions:)
