〞, meaning simply “long dress〞, entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China’s Guangdong Province (Cantonese). In other parts of the country including Beijing, however, it is known as “qipao〞, which has in interesting history behind it.
When the early Manchu rulers came to China proper, they organized certain people,
mainly Manchus, into “banners〞(qi) and called them “banner people〞(qiren), which then became loosely the name of all Manchus. The Manchu women wore normally a one-piece dress, which likewise came to be called “qipao〞or “banner dress〞. Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of the Qing (Manchu) Dynasty, the dress survived the political change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.

The modern Chinese tunic suit is a style of male attire traditionally known in China as the Zhongshan suit, since it was a uniform that Dr. Sun Yat-sen (better known among the Chinese as Sun Zhongshan) liked to wear and recommended to the people of the country. He introduced the style shortly after the founding of the Republic of China as a form of national dress.
After Sun Yat-sen's death in 1925, popular mythology assigned a revolutionary and patriotic significance to the Zhongshan suit. The four pockets were said to represent the Four Virtues cited in the classic Guanzi: Propriety, Justice, Honesty, and Shame. The five center-front buttons were said to represent the five Yuans (branches of government) ---- legislation, supervision, examination, administration and jurisdiction ---- cited in the constitution of the Republic of China and the three cuff-buttons to symbolize Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People: Nationalism, Democracy, and People's Livelihood. Finally, unlike Western-style suits that are usually composed of two layers of cloth, the jacket is in a single piece–symbolizing China's unity and peace.
