taste. The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a
fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set
off the beauty of the female shape.
The cheongsam is not too complicated to make. Nor does it call
for too much material, for there are no accessories like belts, scarves,
sashes or frills to go with it.
Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different
materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or
formal occasions. In either case, it creates an impression of simple
and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so much
liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.
Text 3. Silk flowers (Juanhua)
These are artificial flowers made of fine woven silk is exact
imitation of natural ones in respect of colour and shape. They are
made in several steps: starching and dyeing of the material, shaping
and pasting. The art of making silk flowers is believed to have
originated in the imperial palace; such flowers are therefore also
known as gonghua, or palace flowers.
In a famous painting of “the Palace Ladies” by Gu Kaizhi (c.345-
406) of the Jin Dynasty, the ladies are shown to be wearing flowery
ornaments artificially made, showing that silk flowers have had a
history of at least 1,500 years.
Silk flowers may be worn as personal ornaments or given away as
presents of good taste and personal touch. Needless to say, they are
welcome substitutes in seasons when fresh flowers are hard to come
by.
