"Cheongsam everywhere" is a major feature of the ceremony. All kinds of cheongsam are displayed in the window, or the clustered blue background, the charm is deep; or the hollow design, the style is retro; or the multi-color stitching, bright and playful, dazzling.

Interestingly, a unique cheongsam silk scarf show was also held on the spot. I can only see the models dressed in various types of cheongsam in a delicate posture, or wrap the silk scarf around the neck, or spread it on the shoulder, or lightly put it on the wrist, flowing and flexible, gorgeous and free. Different from the cheongsam with classical charm, the "tiger looks back at the flower bush" above the silk scarf, and the charm of a soft and a rigid is just mixed.

"Tiger in the heart, smell the roses" is the famous poet Mr. Yu Guangzhong, translated from the classic poem "In me the tiger sniffs the rose" in the representative work of the English poet Sigrif Sasson, "To Me the Tiger Sniffs the Rose". It means that even if it is as strong as a tiger, it will be impressed by the gentleness of the rose flower, showing the masculine and feminine sides of human nature. If the qipao culture wants to develop by leaps and bounds, it also needs to be based on the "multi-faceted" of the times, and the combination of the classical qipao and the "tiger sniffing rose" silk scarf shows the charm of the integration of Eastern and Western cultures.
