一、选择型阅读
In recent years, it has become popular for women to wear a traditional qipao dress. Especially during the National College Entrance Examination, better known as the “gaokao”, many mothers wear qipaos to wish their children good luck in the exam. The reason is that “qipao” represents the Chinese phrase “qi kai de sheng”, meaning victory.
2
The qipao has a high collar, with pankous, traditional Chinese knotted buttons, on the front. Some people believe the qipao originated from gowns (长袍) worn by women in the Qing Dynasty. Influenced by Western culture, it changed continually during the early 20th century, becoming more fitted and body-hugging.
After years of development, the qipao is now mainly divided into Beijing styles, Shanghai styles and Hong Kong styles. ▲
3
The Beijing-style qipao is more traditional than Shanghai-style and Hong Kong-style qipaos. The colors of Beijing-style qipaos are much brighter. High-quality Beijing-style qipaos are usually made by hand and there are many different kinds of designs.
Compared with Beijing-style qipaos, Shanghai-style ones are more fashionable. More Western elements(元素) are used in the designs and colors. Shanghai-style qipaos became the most popular qipao style around the 1930s because of the fashionable design and slim shape. Now, Shanghai-style qipaos are still the first choice for most women.
4
Hong Kong-style qipaos have been influenced greatly by European fashions. They have shorter sleeves than the other two. The decorations are simpler, too.
The qipao is a very classic product to represent the beauty of traditional Chinese clothing. It shows not only the history of the Han people, but also the footprints of other cultures on the land.
