— HISTORIC NOTE —
The traditional Chinese dress called qipao 旗袍 was established by the Qing dynasty from the seventeenth century. The exact origin of this clothing was the organization into different classes
With the arrival of the Manchus to the imperial throne in the 17th century, many changes occurred in Chinese society at the time. The new Manchu dynasty called the Qing dynasty was hierarchically organized into eight parts called the eight-flag system. Each citizen dressed according to the membership of his family in a different flag. With the introduction of the Han ethnic group into the Manchu system, the Han people were forced to wear a certain piece instead of wearing the traditional dress from the Ming dynasty era. Since then, this Manchu clothing called qipao was institutionalized as traditional Chinese clothing.
In the 1920s, the qipao was popularized by the Chinese accommodating classes of the more cosmopolitan Shanghai and its use spread throughout the Western world.
