Qipao after hundreds of years of evolution, with the change of people's lifestyle and aesthetic taste, the interpretation of the colorful style, so dizzying. Twentieth Century 40, 30 years of the golden age of the development of Chinese dress, style changes and very rich. Cheongsam lapel, collar, sleeves and skirt and parts of different kind style: placket round lapel, collar, collar, etc.; licensed Shanghai collar, gold collar, low collar and other; the sleeves are long sleeved, short sleeved, roll sleeve, sleeve flower sleeves and trumpet shaped down big sleeve, cuffs are trimmed, embroidery, roll, swing a variety of patterns, very chic; skirt in addition to changes in the length, also increased the fishtail, wave shaped, skirt styles.
By Qing Dynasty Manchu robe take influence, from the Republic of China has begin to the gown collectively referred to as cheongsam, affected by the prevailing environment, most people know the Qing era of Manchu women has its unique cheongsam, and mistakenly believe that the Chinese women only wear dresses, different from the Manchu. So today we all say the skirt is Han Chinese women's clothing, but do not know two or three thousand years Chinese women this is tunic and skirt and carrot, robe gown for traditional dress, but because of the changing times, gown, inclusion of entanglements and need to be clarified. Taiwan had to dress had a name, will be on the modern Chinese female robe in the name of the cheongsam name auspicious gown. To its ambiguity, to take its auspicious meaning. Gu card name, so as to clarify the errors to real name, logical. There are many women Chinese robes, under two thousand or three thousand years should not only come down in one continuous line, the cheongsam is a term that covers all. Taiwan Chinese cheongsam will chairman Wang ever initiated name rectification campaign, Qipao for Kei robe, and reported to government offices, to obtain approval. The reasons are as follows: "a city shop has a large department for more than ten years of auspicious gown. For the two auspicious auspicious meaning. Why have to change dress for Kei robe. Because of the robe of the Chinese women's clothing, but two or three thousand years to ancient ritual, and dress the origin of the word very late, only three hundred years, and when the three thousand years female robe? Worn in the Manchu cheongsam has inherent styles, and relatively fixed, while China's thousands of years of female robe with colorful, far from cheongsam can hold a candle to, cheongsam and what can be called by their name? Therefore, will flag for kei. And why not just said a robe or gown, robe due to lack of female exclusive speech, female robe not used is not smooth, there is no feasibility. If not, it's more, and be more in name than in reality, Brooke, Qi a mess, unable to agree on which is right. And a lot of a precedent, such as the Jin Kesi, landed gentry."
In fact, the cheongsam renamed Kei robe, has officially begun in the sixty-three year of the Republic of China new year. This day Chinese dress research will be held in Taipei city. Change the flag for Kei by consensus, immediately for constitution provisions, the competent authorities for approval. Hence the verdict, stated official nationality.
