เสน่ห์กี่เพ้ากับวิวัฒนาการสังคมจีน

Abstract

       China is a country with a civilization and culture that has been passed down for thousands of years by the “旗” (flag) “袍” (long robe), combined as “旗袍” (Qi Pao in Chinese Mandarin), but in Thailand it is pronounced as "Ki-pao" (as pronounced in Teochew Chinese), which means a long robe. The Qi Pao is the Chinese national costume. It is a Chinese dress that has existed since ancient times and regarded as an important cultural heritage of China. It is one of the reflections of an outstanding Chinese cultural identity. In today’s Chinese society, the Qi Pao is becoming more important and popular to wear as seen in its application and revival in modern fashion and everyday wear. The evolution of the Qi Pao reflects the concept and way of life of the Chinese people after the era of socialist rule transformation. Qi Pao is not only a beautiful dress, but most especially it is the science of dressing and sewing that Chinese women have always been proud of.
