Acupuncture theories

   Basic acupuncture theory lies within the ancient philosophy of Taoism. The Taoists believed that the universe can be described by the dualistic concept of yin and yang. All matter is made of yin and yang, including every part of the human body. The concept of yin is described as that which is dark, cold, moist, yielding, negative in polarity and feminine. The concept of yang is described as that which is warm, dry, dominant, positive in polarity and masculine.

Although yin and yang are opposite in nature, it is their ability to interact and balance each other that creates a dynamic interplay what we can health. All diseases or conditions can be classified as either yin or yang in nature due to an imbalance of one or the other. An example of a yin disease would be a chronic, long-standing degenerative condition such as cancer. An example of a yang disease would be an acute condition of short duration such as flu or sore throat.

Chinese fashion and accessories

In the 1920s, the cheongsam underwent a change with the influence of western styles. The cuffs grew narrower and were usually trimmed with thin lace. The length of the dress was shortened as well. This new adaptation allowed the beauty of the female body to be fully displayed.

In the 1930s, wearing a cheongsam became a fashion among women in the whole China. Various styles existed during this period. Some were short. Some were long, with low, high or even no collars at all.

Starting from the 1940s, cheongsams became closer-fitting and more practical. In summer, women wore sleeveless dress. Cheongsams of this period were seldom adorned with patterns.

The cheongsam didn’t become standard female attire until the 1960s. Following western fashion, the tailors raised the hem, even to above the knee, so that the “long” was no longer long. In the west, during the sexual revolution of the 1960s, the style was deemed something oppressive, like the Victorian bodice.

In western popular culture, the cheongsam became synonymous with the 1960 movie character Suzie Wong and the sexual objectification of women.

The cheongsam goes mainstream

Today, with it’s varies of styles, the cheongsam shows its charm at many markets. More and more women in China appreciate its beauty. For instance, when wives of China’s diplomas attend important social gatherings, the cheongsam is their first choice among dress. In fact, quite a number of influential people have suggested that cheongsam should become the national dress for women in China. This shows that the cheongsam remains a vibrant part of Chinese culture.

Wearing a cheongsam nowadays has turned into something of a vogue, both at home and abroad. Due to its elegance and classical looks the cheongsam becomes a source of inspiration for fashion designers. World-renowned brands like CD (Christian Dior), Versace, and Ralph Lauren have all cited some cheongsam elements in their designs. Many foreign women are eager to get themselves a cheongsam should they visit China. Cheongsam is no longer a garment particular to Chinese women, but is adding to the vocabulary of beauty for women all over the world.

Chinese fashion and accessories-Cheongsam1

   Cheongsam

     The cheongsam, or qipao, is the classic dress for Chinese women, which combines the elaborate elegance of Chinese tradition with unique elements of style. The high-necked, closed-collar cheongsam features a loose chest, asymmetrical fastening, fitted waist and side slits. To fans, the cheongsam encapsulates a woman’s modesty, softness and beauty. Designed to show off the natural softness of the female form, it also creates the illusion of long, slender legs.

   Legend of the cheongsam

Legend has it that a young fisherwoman lived by the Jingbo Lake, she was not only beautiful, but also clever and skillful. But when fishing , she often felt hindered by her long and loose fitting dress. Then an idea struck her: why not make a more practical dress for work? She got down to sewing and produced a long multi-looped-button gown with slits, which enabled her to tuck in the front piece of her dress, thus making her job much easier. As a fisherwoman, she never dreamed that a fortune would befall on her.

The young emperor who ruled China at that time had a dream one night. In the dream, his dead father told him that a lovely fisherwoman in cheongsam by the Jingbo Lake would become his queen. After awakening from his sleep, the emperor sent his men to look for hr. sure enough, there she was! So she became the queen, bringing her cheongsam with her. Manchu (one of the minorities in China) women all followed the suit and soon the cheongsam became popular.

   Cheongsam through the years

The cheongsam came from the Manchus who grew out of ancient Nuzhen tribes (one of famous tribes in Chinese history, which live in north China). In the early 17^th century, Nurhachi (the ruler at that time), a great political and military strategist, unified the various Nuzhen tribes and set up the Eight Banners System. Over the years, a collarless, tube-shaped gown was developed, which was worn by both men and women. That is the embryo of qipao. The dress is called qipao in Chinese or translated as “banner gown”, for it came from the people who lived under the banner system.

    The cheongsam became popular among ladies of the royal family in the Qing Dynasty (the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history). At that time, cheongsams were fitted loosely and were so long that they would reach the insteps. Usually, they were made of silk and the whole dress was embroidered, with broad lace trimmed at the collar, sleeves and edges.

Chinese cheongsam, also named Chinese qipao, was improved from one of the Chinese minority clothing. During the Republic of China (1912-1949), the Chinese women begun to wear this vintage style cheongsam, soon qipao or Chinese cheongsam became popular everywhere especially in Shanghai, China, one of the best developed city in Chine.

Generally speaking, the Chinese cheongsam or qipao is different from the original style, it is more char acted by the Chinese culture as well as the western clipping style.

Most of qipao or Chinese cheongsam with the following features：on the right side it is open and connected with the special knot button, the 2 sides of the clothing is cut to 2 pieces , one piece of dress, the cutting is one of the features, not the must or necessary! The modern Chinese cheongsam combined more western elements like sleeveshape and other styles.

Wide ranged advertisement and the publicity of movies made the Chinese cheongsam become more and more popular today, and many of them treat the Chinese cheongsam as the national clothing thru It is not.
