B
Traditional Chinese clothing has a long history. The most famous styles are *hanfu*, *qipao*, and the Chinese tunic suit (中山装). Each has its own special meaning.
Hanfu* is one of the oldest Chinese clothes. It first appeared over 3,000 years ago in the Shang Dynasty. People wore it from the Qin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. But in the Qing Dynasty, fewer people wore it. Now, many young people like *hanfu* again because of their love for traditional culture.
Qipao*, also called Cheongsam, became popular in the 1920s. Before the 1950s, it was commonly known as the "national dress" for women. At first, *qipao* was loose (宽松的) and covered most of the body. Later, in the 1930s, people made it more fitted to look nicer. Today, women still wear the *qipao* at important events.
The Chinese tunic suit, or Zhongshan suit, was popular in the mid-20th century. It looked simple but formal. Although other kinds of clothing have taken its place now, Chinese leaders often wear it for big meetings.
These clothes show China's history and are still important today.
