• It is known in Mandarin Chinese(普通 话) as the qí páo in Beijing and Shanghai .
The origin(起源)
The Cheongsam (旗袍)came from the Manchus (满族人)who grew out of(产生于 ) ancient Nuzhen tribes(女真部落). • In the early 17th century, Nurhachi(努尔哈赤 ), a great political and military strategist, unified the various Nuzhen tribes and set up the Eight Banners System(八旗制度). Over the years, a collarless(无领), tube- shaped gown was developed, which was worn by both men and women. That is the embryo (萌芽)of the Qipao. The dress is called Qipao in Chinese or translated as “banner gown(旗服)", for it came from the people who lived under the Banner System.
The style
• Chi-pao has many styles, and the change is mainly based on sleeves, Jin, collar, openings, and the length of Cheongsam. • Sleeves (袖子): wide sleeves, narrow and long sleeves, middle sleeves, short sleeves or sleeveless. • Jin(襟): round jin, straight jin, slanting jin( 斜襟), double jin(双襟), and so on.
