Mao suit - Origin of clothing Mao suit appeared after the founding of the Republic of China. Regarding the birth of the Mao suit, there are currently two mainstream theories: The first theory is that the Mao suit was instructed by Sun Yat-sen, who once opened Long Sang Western Clothing Store on Paul Batt Street in Hanoi. Mr. Huang Longsheng designs a beautiful, simple and practical Chinese clothing. Huang referred to Western European and Japanese clothing styles, combined with the characteristics of the "corporate collar" dress tops and student uniforms that were popular among overseas Chinese in Nanyang at that time. After many discussions and modifications with Sun Yat-sen, Huang officially finalized the style in 1923 and named it Mao Zedong Suit. .
However, there is also information that the Chinese tunic suit was originally modified from the military uniform at that time. This is the second theory: In 1919, when Sun Wen was living in Shanghai, one time, he took a suit that he had already worn. The old army uniforms were taken to the famous Henry Clothing Store and asked to be changed by a tailor into "civilian clothes". After being changed into "civilian clothes", they still looked a bit like military uniforms. But among casual clothes, it is neither a "Tang suit" nor a "suit", so the clerk named it Mao suit. Mao suit - ideological connotation
As China's new national costume. Sun Wen elaborated on the ideological and political meaning of the garment: the four pockets on the outside of the garment represent "the four dimensions (property, righteousness, integrity, and shame)"; the five buttons on the front and the five pockets (one on the inside) represent Sun Yat-sen's five dimensions respectively. The doctrine of constitutional rights (executive power, legislative power, judicial power, examination power, and supervisory power are on the collar (button) and inside (pocket) to demonstrate the people's supervisory role of supervisory power); the three buttons on the left and right cuffs represent respectively The Three People's Principles (nation, civil rights, and people's livelihood) and the ideals of the Communist Party of China (equality, freedom, fraternity). The collar is closed with a lapel, indicating the rigorous philosophy of governing the country; the arc-shaped bag flap with a protruding middle in the middle of the pocket represents the pen and mountain shape. Paying attention to intellectuals and leaving no seams on the back signify the peaceful reunification of the country.
