After 1949, the cheongsam gradually being left out in the mainland, especially during the Cultural Revolution was considered a symbol of a lot of repair destroyed capital letters. Cheongsam has two TV series of the same name, a starring Qiu Xinzhi, Tian Hairong, a starring Zhou Xun, Yunlong. Writers snow static historical novel published called "cheongsam" in. One of the traditional Chinese women's apparel, one half of the twentieth century fashion by the Republican Women of Manchu women traditional reference services and the flag design on the basis of Western culture, is an East-West cultural kneading and figurative. In the eyes of some of the existing Westerners, women dress cheongsam with Chinese cultural symbolism Gan Tingting dress according to justice. In a strong feudal ethics atmosphere, as is now generally want women exposed curve is impossible. Traditional cheongsam tailoring has been using the straight-line, chest, shoulders, waist, hip completely straight, no curves of the female body exposed. Despite the change in Manchu women cheongsam gown, or called flag mounted flag clothing, but not the flag cheongsam dress.
