Abstract

Cheongsam is the most oriental traditional dress of Chinese women. With its unique design-fitted waist and Chinese style collar, it reflects the curvaceous beauty of women and the elegant temperament of traditional Chinese women. In some film or TV dramas describing life in the 20th century, cheongsam is regarded as a symbol of women in the Republic of China, showing the charm of Oriental women and the charm of Chinese culture. During the history of the Republic of China, great changes have taken place in Chinese society and Chinese traditional clothing. This change not only liberated the body of civilian women, but also became a sign that women accepted new ideas and began to get rid of feudal patriarchal forces. At the same time, it has witnessed the development track of Chinese female consciousness. China’s feminist culture not only opposes the old society, but also constructs a new female image.
