What are the basic items that novices should buy?
Whether you are a novice or an expert in Hanfu, a shirt with an open collar and right hem is a must-have for beginners of Hanfu. Whether it is worn as a lining or as an outer layer, you can’t go wrong with it with a long skirt or a short coat. Zhang Yi said: "The 'cross-collar right collar' is an important feature of traditional Chinese clothing! This feature has been finalized in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has continued to this day through the evolution of generations, although buttons (metal buckles) appeared in the Ming Dynasty (female buttons), jacket collars, cuffs, etc. have undergone many changes, but the characteristic that the left placket covers the right placket continues to this day."
Hand over the right garb
In modern life, the first piece of clothing that a newborn baby wears is still in the "cross-collared right-fold" or "no-button knotted" style, because such clothing overlaps the left and right sides on the chest and abdomen, and has a significant effect of keeping warm and protecting the body. In addition, the short rope used for fixation is still made of the same fabric as clothes, making it softer and more comfortable to wear. It can be seen that owning a Chinese garment with the collar folded on the right lapel is a wise choice made for us in the evolution of traditional Chinese clothing.

Did men also wear skirts in ancient times?
Yes! In ancient times, both men and women wore skirts, but they also wore pants under the skirts. Before the Han Dynasty, the "shang" of the ancients' tops and bottoms referred to skirts. Skirts were generally made of silk, linen, and cotton, which were breathable, soft, and elegant. Really practical and warm pants only began to appear in the Han Dynasty, but for a long time Still can't play the leading role, it can be seen that whether it is a man or a woman, the ancients really loved skirts!

Speaking of Hanfu skirts, the styles of the Song Dynasty are the most abundant. Zhang Yi said: "In my impression, the costumes of the Song Dynasty are the most common ancient traditional costumes for daily life. This kind of aesthetic consciousness is like blue and white porcelain, which is both practical and aesthetic. The pleated skirts and pleated skirts of the Song Dynasty , and even the horse-faced skirt that became popular in the Ming Dynasty actually appeared as early as the Song Dynasty. The clothing style of the Song Dynasty was more form-fitting than that of the Tang Dynasty. The long skirt covered the skirt and set off a slender and slim overall image, highlighting the The elegant aesthetic taste of literati in the Song Dynasty."

Were there "dresses" in ancient times?
To say that there were "dresses" in ancient times, we must first think of the chest-length skirts worn by women in the Tang Dynasty, that's right! Compared with the elegance of the Song Dynasty clothing and the dignified Ming Dynasty clothing, the Tang Dynasty Hanfu was more free in style and matching. Zhang Yi introduced: "Flat collars, half-arms, myrobalan skirts, chest-length underskirts, cross-collar and straight-collar tops, and big sleeves are basically the clothing styles of that era."

But in the Hanfu system, there is another graceful and elegant "dress" that you must not miss, that is, the deep garment. The deep garment is the second style of the Hanfu system and one of the longest-standing traditional costumes. It combines clothes, The Shang is cut separately and sewn together or cut from top to bottom, which is characterized by hiding the body. Traditional clothing in history, such as curved trains, straight trains, and Zen clothes, were all developed on the basis of deep clothes.
