The origin of cheongsam

Cheongsam was formed in the 1920s. Some scholars believe that its origin can be traced back to the deep clothes in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties. It became a common women's dress after the 1920s, and was designated as one of the national dresses by the government of the Republic of China in 1929. After 1980s, with Chinese mainland's re-emphasis on traditional culture and the influence of film and television culture and fashion shows, cheongsam not only gradually revived in Chinese mainland, but also spread all over the world.
