Cheongsam (also known as Qipao), is a kind of traditional Chinese dress for women. It started from Manchu people of Qing Dynasty in the early 17th century.
Once there was a young fisherwoman living near a place called Jingbo Lake. She made a living by fishing. Her only problem was that when fishing she often felt bad because of her long wide clothes. Then an idea came into her mind — why not make a more comfortable dress to wear?Then she invented Qipao that helped herself fish easily.
The young emperor who was in control of China at that time had a dream one night. In the dream his dead father told him a lovely fisherwoman wearing a long dress who lived by Jingbo Lake would become his wife. After that,the emperor sent some people to look for that woman. At last they found her in the place which his father told him. Then she became the emperor’s wife bringing her beautiful Qipao with her. Manchu women all liked Qipao and soon it became popular across China. Now it's also well known all over the world. Not only Chinese women but also women from foreign countries such as Indonesia are interested in wearing it. This kind of traditional dress is made of either silk or cotton. And anyway, it becomes one of the symbols of China.
