Qipao was born in the 1920s, and its origin can be traced back to the Shenyi(深衣) of the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. After continuous improvement, it formed the classic qipao style of the Republic of China, which was the most popular among the Chinese people from the 1920s to the 1960s, and was regarded as the national treasure of China and the national costume of women.
