Social background of cheongsam.

At that time, many scholars and media believed that it was an important reason for the popularity of cheongsam in the early Republic of China that women imitated men to wear robes in order to seek ideological independence and women's rights liberation.

Since the Han dynasty, Chinese Han women have gradually only worn the style of "top and bottom clothes", commonly known as "two-piece clothes", and wearing robes has almost become a patent for men. Women wearing "two clothes" has also become a symbol of feudal ethics oppressing women, and is regarded as evidence of feudal ethics persecuting and discriminating against women. In the daughter's classic, it is written like this:

"For two clothes, a woman will not be with her husband.

Everything should be humble and obedient. Can't you crow the hen in the morning? "

At the beginning of the Republic of China, due to the influx of western culture and ideas, the country suffered the invasion of foreign powers and the war of warlords. Young people with advanced ideas actively learn from the West, especially women bravely pursue liberation, which is unprecedented in the history of feudal society in China.

Social movements with young people as the main participants, such as the May 4th Movement and the New Culture Movement, provided great impetus for women to seek ideological emancipation and equal rights at that time.

Many scholars studied the origin of cheongsam in such a social background at that time, such as Orfila's China Women's Clothing and Body Revolution (191-1935). This view also has supporters, WESSIELING.

Ms. Zhang Ailing once wrote in "Change Clothes": "After the peace of the five ethnic groups, women all over the country suddenly unanimously adopted cheongsam, not because they were loyal to the Qing Dynasty and advocated the restoration movement, but because women deliberately imitated men.

At first, influenced by western culture, they were addicted to the theory of equal rights between men and women, but the surrounding situation was far from ideal. In shame and indignation, they rejected everything feminine and wanted to strangle women's roots. Therefore, the original cheongsam was rigorous and square, with a Puritan style. "

On the eve of the Revolution of 1911, many young women who actively participated in revolutionary groups also liked to wear robes. Zhou Yawei recalled 1907 Qiu Jin's costume in Miscellanies of the Guangfu Association: "At that time, she wore a dark blue lake robe (like a man's robe), braided her hair, braided her ears with dark blue, put her feet down and wore black satin boots. She was thirty-two years old that year. Young members of the Guangfu Association called her' Mr. Qiu'. "

The so-called trend that women wear men's robes to strive for equal rights with men did not end with the victory of the revolution. The Republic of China Daily 1920 published a letter written by Zhu Rongquan to Mr. Chu Lun, discussing an article about women wearing robes-The Benefits of Women Wearing Robes. "Long gown" was originally the name of Guangdong men's gown, so it was not uncommon for Shanghai women to wear long gowns at that time.

After the victory of the Revolution of 1911, women's liberation flourished in the mid-1920s. With the development of feminist movement, it is more and more common for women to wear men's robes throughout the country.

A newspaper in Beijing published an article: "Nowadays, women have cut their hair, let go of their feet and even put on robes. I couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman when I first met him, so men's and women's clothes will inevitably assimilate one day, right? . "

Not only in Beijing, "On Tongheng Avenue in Guangzhou, there is a world full of women wearing long gowns. ..... and regardless of wealth, if it is a young woman, if it is not a gown, it will not be spectacular. " It can be seen that it was a trend for young women to wear men's robes at that time, but the public opinion at that time did not have much encouragement, but there were many critical voices.

Later, after the victory of the Northern Expedition, cheongsam has completely recovered its femininity, and women wearing men's robes are rare.
