Traditional clothing plays an important role in any country's history and culture. In China, when it comes to traditional clothing, hanfu, qipao and the Chinese tunic suit are the most popular. However, most Chinese people are unclear about them. Here is some information about these three kinds of clothing.
Traditional hanfu Hanfu was created for Han people in the beginning. It shows the Chinese mind. Its colour, its style and even the length are about Chinese culture. Hanfu first appeared in the Shang dynasty, over 3,000 years ago. It was popular for a long time in Chinese history from the Qin dynasty to the Ming dynasty. At the beginning of the Qing dynasty, however, it lost its popularity. With growing calls for reviving （复兴） traditional Chinese culture, many Chinese people have taken a liking to hanfu nowadays.
Qipao Qipao, also known as the Cheongsam, appeared in the 1920s and remained as the "national clothing" until the 1950s. At first, people made it wide and loose, covering most parts of the body. Yet it was not beautiful and people wanted a more beautiful kind of clothing. So in the 1930s, people made the traditional qipao tight （紧的） to show the beauty of a woman's body. Now, lots of women still like to wear it.
The Chinese tunic suit It is also called the "Sun Yat-sen suit", because it was named after Sun Yat-sen, a famous person in Chinese history. It looked simple but good, so it quickly became popular among Chinese men in the mid-20th century. Although other kinds of clothing have replaced it, leaders of China still wear it when going to important events.

A. It started to appear during the Han dynasty.
B. It has a close relationship with Chinese culture.
C. Few people have interest in wearing it nowadays.

14．What do qipao and the Chinese tunic suit have in common？
A. They were both named after famous people.
B. They both appeared in the late 20th century.
C. They were both very tight in the beginning.
D. They are both traditional Chinese clothing.
15．Who is the passage most probably written for？
A. Jenny, who has difficulty in learning Chinese.
B. Xiao Qin, who wants to write about Chinese culture.
C. Lily, who is from the US and is good at making clothes.
