Qipao Culture: Qipao'S Legend

Cheongsam originally was

Because the women's cheongsam women wear beautiful and graceful, they become a national costume popular among women of all nationalities in the country, and they also enjoy a high reputation in the world.

Who designed this beautiful and beautiful dress? How can it be popularized? There is a legend among the Manchu people.

Once upon a time, there was a fisherman's girl on the Bank of Jingpo Lake. Because she was fishing with her mother by the lake from her childhood, her face was red and dark, and people called her black girl.

This black girl is not only handsome, but also ingenious. The needle work on the Kang is good.

At that time, all the Manchu women wore the clothes that were handed down from ancient times, but the black girls often turned around the lake, and the trees often scratching their clothes. It was very inconvenient, and she cut a kind of them.

A multi button loop gown.

This kind of long gown is open on both sides, and when the river is fishing, it can be put up in the waist. Usually the buckle is kept until the leg is bent. When the skirt is used, it fits and saves cloth.

It was a good thing. When I thought, such a long gown gave her life.

One year, the emperor dreamt that the first king told him that in the old capital of the north, there was a girl who was riding a dragon, wearing a flat top roll, a black helmet, a white jade square hand, and a twelve buckled gown, which could help him govern the world.

The emperor sent the imperial concubine down to the concubine.

Therefore, the Eight Banners girls were recruited into the collapsed wall of Bohai's old capital.

Sent to choose the imperial envoy, left pick right pick also did not choose one.

When I was too anxious to do anything, I suddenly saw a black faced girl with a dustpan on her head, a square tofu on her hands, and a multi button loop gown, standing on a pile of earth walls.

This girl is a black girl.

She went to her grandmother's house to wear her own long gown. She bought tofu for her grandmother. When she came back, she passed through the ancient city and saw the sea of people. I didn't know what was going on, and she came up and stood on the wall to watch the bustle.

Because the sun was shining in the dog days, the black girl put the bean curd on her hands and made the mud buckle on her head.

The Imperial officer pointed to the black girl and shouted, "here's the goddess!"

Someone asked the imperial envoy: "how do you say she is the empress?" the imperial envoy said, "do you see that the earth wall is not a dragon? Do you see that the small mud pot on top of her head is not a flat top with a black helmet? Is the piece of tofu in her hand not octagonal jade square? Is she wearing the twelve button gown that is the twelve gown?"

After that, the imperial commander told the attendants to carry the black girl into Beijing.

When I came to the palace, the black girl looked very handsome and graceful.

She was the empress of the earth.

The black empress is a working woman who is not accustomed to this garment to stretch out her hands and to open her mouth.

She missed her hometown, and even missed the real fishing and hunting life of the real mountain. After she entered the palace, she wiped her eyes and tears all day. In order to comfort her, the emperor brought her hometown's ginseng, mink, antler and so on. When the black empress saw the "Three Treasures", she remembered how many old men and women risked their lives in the mountains and forests to collect and hunt for such rare treasures.

This can make the people of Kuan Dong happy, beating up the octagonal drum everywhere, and dancing the Manchu dance to sing the praises of the black empress.

The black empress used her wisdom in the palace to do many good deeds for the poor.

Later, she saw that the empty skirt of the mountain and river was too long and too long to drag on the ground. It was too bad for her feet and shoes to pedal. She began to cut the skirt into a dress that was economical and convenient for her.

Where did this happen?

The empress and the concubines were very jealous of her. This time, when she saw that she had cut her skirt, she went up to the hall to tell her the emperor, and said that the black empress cut off the mountain and river skirt, which was intended to cut off my master's uniform.

The emperor heard the black empress call the palace, and said to her, "wear this precious.

It is the blessing of being a goddess, saving two words and not using it in court.

It is sinful of you to alter court costumes without authorization.

The black empress did not admit her guilt. She also mentioned that she was not accustomed to the life of this court and asked her to return to her hometown for fishing.

The emperor left the Dragon pier and walked up to the black empress and shouted, "get out of the palace for me!"

Since entering the palace, the black empress has never said a word "Xie" to the emperor.

When she heard the emperor let her out of the palace, she was delighted to say "thank you."

Turn around and go down to the throne room. The emperor scolded a "really a bitch". He didn't hit a place. He stepped forward and hit the black empress's heart.

So the black empress died in the palace.

The Kanto heard of the tragic death of the black empress and cried for three days.

In order to commemorate the black empress, the women of the flag house wear the tailor's long gown with her skirt cut out.

Later, the long shirt was called the "cheongsam". It was amazing.

All the women dressed in Qipao have become very slim, beautiful and beautiful. People say that this is the hardworking, frugal, ingenious black empress who helps to dress up secretly.
