Explanation: From this picture, we can see female students wearing Civilized New Look and standing out the gate of Peking University of Arts and Sciences for Women. Before the May Fourth Movement, as the result of devaluation of women of Confucianism, male and female students were strictly segregated in universities. Anger towards the colonizers and passion for patriotism gave women the courage to march and demonstrate with male students in the  May Fourth Movement, 1919. The May Fourth Movement promoted women’s quest for equal educational rights, and in 1920,  Peking University started coeducation.

St Paul’s Co-educational College, Qipao as Uniforms

# data[].attributes.body
Explanation: The Qipao has a historic meaning as it was the first school uniform to be introduced in Hong Kong. Uniforms didn’t appear in Hong Kong schools until 1918, when St Paul’s Co-educational College, introduced its two-piece Qipao set featuring white plain tops with matching pants or skirts. The wide sleeves and loose-fitting bottoms were prominent in women’s clothing during the early years of the Republic of China.

# data[].attributes.body
Explanation: The Qipao, which appeared in Hong Kong as a uniform for schoolgirls, was colored in different shades of blue, and differed from those of the same period in mainland China, both in terms of fabric and style. On the one hand, the designers took into account the climatic differences, and on the other hand, due to the deeper influence of European culture, traditional Chinese elements were less reflected in these Hong Kong school uniforms.

Explanation: This picture shows the high school class of Shanghai St. Mary’s Girls’ High School, with the students in their Qipao uniforms. Beginning in the 1920s, female students who were the youngest and most fashionable and progressive segment of society in Shanghai were the first to wear the modified Qipao. Qipao reflects the hybridity of modern Western aesthetics in Chinese style items of clothing and the demands in pursuit of equal social status for women.

Men not doing physical labor wore trousers and Cheongsam(长衫), a long top that opens up at the waist and reaches the ankles. Qipao transforms the women’s two-part suit into a single, long “one-piece” expressing the demands of equal social status and equal rights in education by minimizing the differences with men in clothing.
