qipao 旗袍
【詞源】
[ < Chinese qípáo (Wade-Giles transcription ch'i p'ao), lit. ‘banner dress’
The dress was so called with reference to the Manchu people who ruled China during the Qing dynasty: they were organized into groups designated by different coloured banners, and consequently the term qírén‘bannermen’became a way to
refer to Manchus. The one-piece garment was characteristic of Manchu dress, as distinct from the two-piece styles used by Han Chinese women. 這種婦女服飾得名自清朝統治中國的滿族。滿族人民依不同顏色的旗幟而分類編制，因此“旗人”這個說法便用來指稱滿族。這種連身的衣服是滿族婦女的特色服飾，有別于漢族婦女所穿的兩截式風格。
