The Chinese cheongsam, also known as qipao, is a traditional dress that first appeared in the early 20th century in Shanghai. It has become a symbol of Chinese culture and is worn by women around the world.

The cheongsam hugs the curves(曲线) of the body and is mostly made of silk or cotton. It's typical with a high collar(领), short sleeves(袖) and a short cut on the side of the skirt to make movement easy.

The cheongsam was first worn by wealthy women in Shanghai as a way to show their social positions and wealth. But it quickly became popular among all classes of women as daily clothes. During the 1920s and 1930s, the cheongsam experienced changes and became fitter and better designed with fashionable elements(元素). Nowadays, designers are creating new styles to follow modern fashion.

Today, the cheongsam is often worn for formal situations such as ceremonies, celebrations and cultural events in China. One of the most popular looks of the cheongsam is Anna Wong, a Chinese famous movie star. She often wears cheongsams on and off screen. Her look helps to make the dress win popularity in Hollywood and around the world.

The cheongsam is not just a symbol of fashion, but also of Chinese culture and history. It brings out that Chinese people can always keep up with  changing fashion over years.

The cheongsam has stood the test of time. It will continue to catch eyes of the public and give ideas to people for years to come.

Many countries have special holidays that celebrate important events in their past. For example, the United Statc s has Independence Day on July 4th. France has Bastille Day op July 14th. And in Chile, they cclebrate the Fiesta s Patrias on September 18th. But Chile doesn't spend only one day celebrating its independence. It is celebrated for at least two days, September 18th and 19th. 

These two official days are referred to as Dieciocho("eighteen, " pronounced dee-cee-oh-cho)because they start on the 18th. September 19th is celebrated as the Day of the Glory of the Armies. It marks the victory of winning the Spanish army in wars. It is also time to celebrate the end of winter, which in Chile appears during July and August, and the coming of summer, which begins in December. Sometimes 26 festivities might go on for an entire week, and many schools and businesses close for that week so people can travel and celebrate with their families. 

How is Fiesta s Patria s celebrated? There are parades, music and dancing, lots of amazing food and drink, and many partics. Most of all, it is a time for Chilcans to cclebrate their culture and customs. Many men and women dress in traditional Chilean outfits. 

Many small towns and cities begin their celebrations with traditional parties called fondas. These fondas feature live cueca music and dancing. Cueca is a type of music from Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia, and is played with guitars, accordions, percussion, and guitarrons (a large bass gutar) La Cueca is Chile's national dance It is one of the most important parts of celebrating Fiesta s Patrias. Everyone can learn the dance quickly. They work in pairs and mimic(模仿) the courting dance of a rooster and a hen. The partners hold hands using a cloth, and they stomp(跺脚)and circle cach other. Couples often compete to sc e who is the best cueca dancer. 

Dicciocho is a great time to visit the country and experience Chilean culture, food, and fun. Just make sure to bring your dancing shoes and your appetite.

You don't have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change - and he's inviting bikers to join him. 

Daan Ronscgaarde. 38, is a designer from Holland. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog(雾霾)Free Project, he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In Holland, he designed a shining bicycle path. 

Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike - sharing company Ofo to create a new product for public use. It's an air - cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker's face. 

It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it's common for thick clouds of haze(霾), caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions(排放物) to cover areas of China. 

In 2016, only one - fourth of Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards, according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection " 

Of course one tower and a few bikes won't solve China's air pollution problem, " Daan said. " But smog - free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully inspire communities to create greener cities. "
