.

The name "cheongsam," meaning simply "long dress," entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China's Guangdong Province (Cantonese). In other parts of the country including Beijing, however, it is known as "qipao", which has a history behind it.

When the early Manchu rulers came to China proper, they organized certain people, mainly Manchus, into "banners" (qi) and called them "banner people" (qiren), which then became loosely the name of all Manchus.

chu women wore normally a one-piece dress which, likewise, came to be called "qipao" or "banner dress." Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of the Qing (Manchu) Dynasty, the female dress survived the political change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.

Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits well the female Chinese figure. Its neck is high, collar closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on season and taste. The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.

The cheongsam is not too complicated to make. Nor does it call for too much material, for there are no accessories like belts, scarves, sashes or frills to go with it.

Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. In either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.

旗袍是哪个民族服装？

旗袍（男式又称长袍、大褂、长衫）是中国满族的传统民族服装，和清朝的正式男装之一。

[编辑] 旗袍的雏形及发展

旗袍，意指“旗人之袍”。旗人即是满人。

在清王朝建立之前，满洲民族的服饰在当时受周边民族影响颇大。特别是效仿了金、辽、蒙等马上民族之衣装习俗。而满人为适应游牧狩猎生活，在而后的女真服饰基础上，借鉴了蒙族袍装的瘦长，袖口狭小等特征。

旗袍在满语称为“衣介”，分单、夹、皮、棉四种。传统满族长袍的特点是圆领、右大襟、用纽扣而不是衣带，窄袖、袖子末端平时挽起，需要暖手和行礼掸下，称“马蹄袖”、男装系腰带、下面前后左右开叉以便于骑射。总的外形比汉族袍服紧窄。领口、前襟和袖口有时还镶花边。上身在长袍外穿有马褂。

满洲灭明建立清后，中国人改穿满洲服饰。因此满式服饰成为主流。旗袍由此成为中上层阶级男子的常装和平民阶级的礼服。另外式样也有所改变：开叉减少为左右两个甚至不开叉（称作“一裹圆”），不系腰带。非官服旗袍开始使用直袖而不是马蹄袖。棉旗袍外面一般罩单长衫。

在近三百年的时间内，满汉之间的民族界限逐渐模糊。到民国初期，由于中西方文化发生碰撞。旗袍被作为中国的民族服饰继续沿用，民国一十八年四月，国民政府正式将旗袍作为“国服”。之所以启用旗袍，而不是明朝以前服饰，还有一原因是因为旗袍当时属于各朝服饰中最简化，且拥有轻便、易用省工、省料等优点，且纽扣的形式也便于穿著。这些都是适合当时历史潮流的。尔后，长袍改短袄流行，其用意是汉人将旗袍的狭长剪除，和剪去辫子同理。领型也出现了前高后低的元宝领。男式旗袍精简了繁琐的装点修饰，腰身宽松，袖口宽大，领前低后高，加宽下摆，提高开衩，最后发展成了长衫。其流行一直延续到20世纪30年代后期。之后，长袍作为日常服装的使用变得稀少。例如50年代，李敖在台湾大学就读时，因为穿长袍被称为“长袍怪”。

[编辑] 女装旗袍

二十世纪二十年代中期，经民国各界人士的使用过程中的改良。女式旗袍袍身逐渐减短，腰身变窄，下摆收小，同时开衩变低，领型变矮。三十年代，学生运动的兴起，女性接受维新思想，开始上学，于是旗袍作为轻便制服出现。

尔后，旗袍不断被改良，加入了汉族服饰的元素.

另外，英文里的Cheongsam虽然是“长衫”的音译，在实际应用上仅指女装旗袍。

旗袍为什么叫cheongsam

长衫，来源于广东话的发音

为什么采用广东话的发音我就不知道了，但是词典上确实是这么解释的。可能最早是从广州流传到欧美地区的吧，虽然起源于北方，但是那时可能还没有对应的英文称呼。

旗袍 英文简介

以下这篇关于中国旗袍的完整介绍内容，应值得你参考：

CHINESE CHEONGSAM (QIPAO)

The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world of high fashion.

The name "cheongsam," meaning simply "long dress," entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China's Guangdong Province (Cantonese). In other parts of the country including Beijing, however, it is known as "qipao", which has a history behind it.

When the early Manchu rulers came to China proper, they organized certain people, mainly Manchus, into "banners" (qi) and called them "banner people" (qiren), which then became loosely the name of all Manchus. The Manchu women wore normally a one-piece dress which, likewise, came to be called "qipao" or "banner dress." Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of the Qing (Manchu) Dynasty, the female dress survived the political change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.

Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits well the female Chinese figure. Its neck is high, collar closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on season and taste. The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.

The cheongsam is not too complicated to make. Nor does it call for too much material, for there are no accessories like belts, scarves, sashes or frills to go with it.

Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. In either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.

急急~用英语介绍旗袍

Qipao (Ch'ipau) is one of the most typical, traditional costumes for Chinese women. Also known as cheongsam, it is like a wonderful flower in the Chinese colorful fashion scene because of its particular charm.

In the early 17th century in North China, Nurhachi, a great political and military strategist, unified the various Nuzhen tribes and set up the Eight Banner System. Later he led his troops into Beijing and overthrew the Ming Dynasty. Over the years, a collarless tube-shaped gown was developed, which was worn by men and women. This is the embryo of the Qipao. It became popular among the royal palace of the Qing Dynasty and the mansions of the Manchu nobility. At that time, it was loosely fitted and long enough to reach the insteps. Usually it was made of silk, and embroidered, with broad laces trimmed at the collar, sleeves and edges. The dress empresses of past dynasties wore them. Their style of dress was regarded as the highest of standards for Chinese women for several thousand years.

The only medium to display the elegance of a human body is an elegant costume. Whatever costume a woman wears, in addition to magnificence and nobility, she must have a thirst for elegance or beauty. Perhaps that's the reason why Qipao was born.

In the past, the collar of the costume was made high and tight-fitting to keep warm. Qipao has incorporated this feature, not just for preventing coldness but also for beauty. The collar of Qipao generally takes the shape of a semicircle, its right and left sides being symmetrical, flattering the soft and slender neck of a woman. The collar of Qipao is meticulously made, especially the buttonhole loop on the collar, which serves as the finishing touch. We can't help but admire the designers' artistic originality. The design of the front of Qipao depicts the maturity of women properly, reminding people of the line of a Chinese poem 'A garden full of the beauty of spring can not be prevented from being enjoyed.'

Qipao generally has two big slits at either side of the hem for convenient movement and display of the slender legs of women. Unlike a short-length skirt, the slits of Qipao expose a woman's legs indistinctly when she walks, as if there was a blurred emotional appeal of 'enjoying flowers in mist.'

Qipaos can display Chinese women's modesty, softness and beauty. Like Chinese women's temperament, Qipaos are elegant and gentle.

Like other costumes, the beauty of Qipao comes first. Simplicity is one of its features from the collar, loop, chest, waist and hips to the lower hem, and a Qipao almost varies with a woman's figure. It not only lays stress on the natural beauty of a female figure, but also makes women's legs appear more slender. Mature women in Qipaos can display their graceful refined manner.

Besides its simplicity, Qipao provides designers with vast, creative space: some short, some long, with low, high, or even no collars at all.

Practicality always goes with beauty. Qipaos are worn in both urban and rural areas, its long-standing elegance and serenity making wearers fascinating.

When wearing Qipao, women should pay attention to the match as a whole; particularly middle-aged or elderly women should do so. Hairstyles, jewelry, socks and shoes should match Qipaos properly in color and design.

Today, with the development of the market economy in China, designs or styles of fashions are so dazzling as the stars that the eye cannot take them all in. As a result, people are often at a loss what to choose when facing the vast sea of fashions. On the other hand, it is just a golden opportunity for Chinese national costumes to regain their popularity. Fashion culture has become a point of intersection of social culture, reflecting economic developments, social progress and educational level. It represents people's spirit, living standards and aspirations towards beauty.

旗袍

清统一中国，也统一全国服饰，男人穿长袍马褂，女人穿旗袍。到了上世纪30年代初，旗袍已经极为流行了。旗袍正以浓郁的民族风格，体现了中华民族传统的服饰美。棉制旗袍很受欢迎，尤其是那些具有中国传统图案和文字的式样更受欢迎。至二十年代末，因受欧美服装的影响，旗袍的样式也有了明显的改变。旗袍的袖口便逐渐收小，而且绣边也不像之前那么宽了。如今中山装和旗袍已经成为我国男女服装的代表。

The Qing Dynasty unified China, and unified the nationwide costume as well. By the early 19306, Chi-pao had been very popular. Cheongsam features strong national flavor and embodies beauty of Chinese traditional costume. The cotton cheongsams are selling well, especially the ones with the traditional Chinese patterns and characters.At the end of20s, with the influenced of occident, the style of cheongsam changed obviously. The cuff was reduced gradually, and embroidered border was not as broad as the previous one. Nowadays, Zhongshan Suit and Qipao have become the representatives of Chinese men and women clothing.
