zhongshan suit history

• Clothing is part of human civilization and
  represents the identity of one nation and its
  people. In fact, the type and the amount of
  clothing we worn is dependent with various bases.
  It may be on gender, physical attributes social
  and geographical considerations. It involves
  different process to perfect and years to
  formally stabilize since it is anchored in our
  costumes and traditions, or culture in general.
  This is worn with a purpose of protection from
  the elements and can secure safety. In China,
  there are some clothing remain to be their
  important articles. In Communist China, Mao Suit
  is know and had been used centuries ago and had
  been even remarkable. It has its exceptional
  style and wondrous meaning and legacy. Yet, this
  became quite outdated since the young generation
  adopting new and modern approach and styles.
  However, this suit has great meaning and symbolic
  associations.
• Mao Suit is firstly known as zhongshan zhuang
  which was named after Dr. Sun Yat-Sen. In fact,
  Sun Zhongshan, Mandarin name for him, had a
  direct involvement in the development of the
  suit. Dr. Sun once desired of developing a style
  of national dress with modern and practical
  approach but is identical with Western-style
  suit. He also spent some time in Japan where he
  lived and had influenced Japanese with their
  dress specifically the cadet naval and came up
  with Mao suit with general style.
• During the Qing, Han people imposed Machu style
  as clothing. However, after the revolution, there
  were lots of changes including the dress a
  break from traditions. Thus, Mao Suit came across
  and had been used by many people in the area.
• The suit is a symbol of party unity. This had
  been recognized as such and became standard
  attire. This was worn by Chinese, both
  Nationalist and Communists. This is still worn in
  formal occasions by leaders of Communist party.
  But, Nationalists had first developed and become
  forever associated with the Communist Party. And,
  it is quite strange.
• Mao Suit, as a two-piece outfit made of
  polyester, can be visualized as unique with
  Western-style business suit because of the thin
  collar. Navy blue or olive green is the usual
  color. Thischinese clothing consists of tunic
  style jacket with loose fitting trousers. Also,
  with buttons that run all the way up to the neck.
  The five buttons serve as representation of the
  five branches of the government namely
  supervision, jurisdiction, examination,
  legislation, and administration. Likewise, Dr.
  Suns Three Principles of the People were adopted
  and had been a reason to depict the three buttons
  on the cuffs. Pockets made the suit attractive
  two lower pockets and pocket on each side of the
  chest. These four pockets represent Four Virtues
  honesty, justice, prosperity, and shame. These
  representations came after Dr. Suns death the
  beginning of peoples ascription of symbol and
  its significance.
• Moa suit will remain as it is. For the West
  people, it serves a symbol of lack of
  individualism and conformity. But, means a lot
  for Chinese as symbolic associations more and
  more symbol of the past.
