Elegance in Hong Kong – Cheongsam, Cultural Integration and Symbol of Identity
“Integrating Past with Present: The Journey of Tung Wah’s Intangible Heritage through Time” Subject Talks /Activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series
| Date: | 2024/10/12 (Saturday) |
| Time: | 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. |
| Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library (Lecture Theatre) |
| Description: | Since its introduction to Hong Kong in the beginning of the 20th century, the cheongsam has developed into an internationally recognised iconic Chinese costume, deeply embedded in the city’s unique cultural ecology. From everyday attire to ceremonial costume, its evolution has been closely linked to local social practices, providing a sense of identity for the Chinese community. The cheongsam is a symbol of identity on multiple levels: in different ancestral groups and social communities, there are corresponding variations, applications and interpretations. This talk will examine how, over the past century, men’s and women’s cheongsam have reflected the changes in society and become an important component of Hong Kong culture. It will also explore topics such as the sense of identity and lifestyle of Hong Kong people and globalisation through the cheongsam. |
