Wu Haiyan, the protagonist of this news event, also displayed the cheongsam specially designed for NPC deputies and CPPCC members. Although they did not wear themselves to the Great Hall of the people at the end of the day, the static display also showed the exquisite design and exquisite workmanship. Wu Haiyan said she did not expect to bring such a strong response, originally just wanted to let the cheongsam reflect the Chinese style into the present life, and the social reaction reminded her of the mass movement decades ago. But she said that she would not stop developing the Chinese elements, and the cheongsam she had designed for herself would wear it on suitable occasions in the future.

Zhao Feng, curator of the China Silk Museum, said the cheongsam exhibition will be touring around the country. On the evening of the opening ceremony of the cheongsam, the Chinese women's wear academic forum was also held. Scholars and designers from the institutions explored the evolution and inheritance of cheongsam.

　　 On the way of Cheongsam

Zhao Feng, curator of the Chinese Silk Museum: cheongsam has become a dress or dress for women. It is one of the important costumes that represent the image of China. It is everyone's responsibility to inherit silk dress culture. I believe in cheongsam in the future. Fabric Varieties will be more diverse, and the production process will become more sophisticated. Cheongsam follows the trend of the times, and seeks balance between classics and trends, becoming one of the most important basic types of Chinese women's clothing.

Li Dangqi, Secretary of the Academy of Fine Arts Party committee, Tsinghua University: Cheongsam is very symbolic and of cultural value. Now we all advocate the great development of culture, and we should also carry forward our own culture in our costumes. The cheongsam seems far away from life. It usually wears as a dress at the party, unlike ordinary people in the 20s and 30s of last century. We also need to tap the culture of cheongsam. This kind of excavation is not duplication, but a combination of modern people's way of life. Many domestic designers, such as Zhang Zhifeng, are digging, rescuing and promoting traditional culture, which shows their sense of responsibility.

Fan Dian, curator of the Chinese Art Gallery: the Chinese cheongsam is contemporary in the United States, and the female costume represented by fashion improvement cheongsam is the modern innovation of Chinese clothing aesthetics. The development of contemporary clothing needs to search for traditional resources, and its aesthetic and practical significance is worth studying.

Xu Jiang, President of The China Academy of Art: the cheongsam exhibition in the past hundred years can make us savour traditional culture. If Qipao wants to become a national costume, people in life need to wear it. Today's life is somewhat estranged from cheongsam. How to rebuild Chinese fashion requires us to attach importance to the tastes of young people. How to build cheongsam's taste is a good way to let them feel the traditional atmosphere.

He Yang, associate professor of Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology: Cheongsam in modern sense came into existence only after the revolution of 1911. After being released, people immediately took off their traditional costumes for hundreds of years and accepted it. The women of all walks of life and professions were captured. When Song Meiling visited the United States and wore prostitutes, what kind of cheongsam was acceptable to everyone? This adaptability is worth exploring.

Zhang Zhifeng, the famous designer, should be grateful to the Shanghai actresses in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century, who led a trend. "Chinese clothing" is the abbreviation of Chinese dress, and the cheongsam can best assume this role. Our cheongsam show has been connected with ancient and modern art with new technologies and new fabrics.

Bao Wenqi, chairman of Hangzhou Limin Chinese garment factory: now there are few enterprises that make Chinese clothes, and only two of us hang "Chinese". It is sad for a country to have no clothing of its own, and clothing is the most direct manifestation of culture. Cheongsam is the most representative Chinese clothing. We have the duty and obligation to promote its development. How to develop? In fact, it is promising. If you want to adapt to the fast pace of life, you can launch Mini. cheongsam The movement is not affected at all.
