Cheongsam (also known as Qipao), is a kind of traditional Chinese dress for women. It started from Manchu people of Qing Dynasty in the early 17th century.

Once there was a young fisherwoman living near a place called Jingbo Lake. She made a living by fishing. Her only problem was that when fishing she often felt bad because of her long wide clothes. Then an idea came into her mind — why not make a more comfortable dress to wear?Then she invented Qipao that helped herself fish easily.

The young emperor who was in control of China at that time had a dream one night. In the dream his dead father told him a lovely fisherwoman wearing a long dress who lived by Jingbo Lake would become his wife. After that,the emperor sent some people to look for that woman.
