There is a new trend that can be seen clearly during this year's May Day holiday, that is, "taking photos wearing Hanfu and makeup" has become a new favorite among young people. According to online data, during the May Day holiday, the search popularity of "Hanfu makeup" increased by more than 150% year-on-year, not only in popular tourist cities such as Xi'an, Luoyang, Suzhou, and Beijing, but also in Jinan, my city. significantly increased. Especially along the small rivers in the ancient city such as Qushuiting Street and Qifengqiao Street, "It takes a long time to find a good location to take pictures." Groups of girls appeared out of nowhere, wearing Hanfu, buns with flowers and long skirts, arriving like goddesses descending to earth.
"Hanfu" refers to the clothing and etiquette system of the Han Dynasty. Around the Yin and Shang Dynasties, about five thousand years ago, the Yangshao culture of China's Neolithic Age produced primitive agriculture and textile industries, and began to use woven linen to make clothes. After the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the crown clothing system was initially established. , the Western Zhou Dynasty, the clothing system gradually improved.
Hanfu originated from the Mianfu made by the Yellow Emperor, and was later established by the Zhou Dynasty. It was revised and finalized during the Ming Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the complete system was finally established. Since then, all Chinese dynasties have followed the Zhou Fa and Han Dynasties, and the inheritance of Han clothes and crowns has been a national event. "The Yellow Emperor, Yao, and Shun ruled the world with their clothes, and they benefited from the universe."
In the Western Han Dynasty, women wore a rut and a long skirt when working, and the waistband was decorated with a long hanging belt; men wore a rut, calf-nosed trousers, and a cloth skirt around the clothes. Wearable. The clothing as a whole appears dignified,Elegant style.
Another characteristic of that period was that women in the Han Dynasty generally combed their hair back and tied it into a bun, which had many names. Aristocratic women also wore hairpins and hairpins on their heads for decoration.
Compared with Western clothing of the same period, when Westerners used breastplates and skirt braces to constrain the development of women's bodies, the wide Hanfu has achieved the remarkable feature of free stretching of the body and wide and long sleeves, showing grace, luxury, and elegance. Elegant, solemn, elegant and smart style.
But not all Hanfu is like this. At that time, small sleeves and short sleeves were also more common, such as the clothing of common people participating in labor, the military uniforms of sergeants and generals, and winter clothing with tight sleeves to keep warm. wait.
Han clothing is an overall clothing system that includes clothes, headdress, hairstyle, face decoration, shoes, accessories, etc. It condenses the outstanding craftsmanship of Chinese culture such as textiles, batik, valerian, brocade, etc. and aesthetics, has inherited dozens of Chinese intangible cultural heritages, and has won the reputation of Splendid China, a country with fine clothes, and a country with etiquette.
The overall style of Han clothing for thousands of years fully embodies the quiet, comfortable, elegant, detached, and calm national character of the Han nation, as well as the plain, natural, subtle, euphemistic, elegant and fresh aesthetic taste, shaping the unity of nature and man in Han clothing , elegant and free style.
Although Hanfu itself disappeared for a time under the Qing Dynasty’s policy of shaving hair and changing clothes, some of its elements have never been extinct in China because of its strong vitality. Han Fu YunThis movement existed for a period of time after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, but what is more prominent is that at the beginning of the 21st century, with the development of China's national power and the improvement of its international status, people began to re-examine the outstanding parts of their traditional culture. Some domestic traditional culture enthusiasts have restored traditional Han costumes by studying Hanfu, taking its essence and discarding its dross, and re-advocating Hanfu by wearing Hanfu for traditional festivals, promoting traditional doctrines, playing traditional musical instruments, etc. This process is called Hanfu revival movement.
This is also a cultural renaissance with the majority of Han culture enthusiasts as the main body, young people, commercial groups, and intellectuals as the main force, with the Internet as the main public opinion platform, the return of Hanfu as the starting point, and the goal of reviving traditional Chinese culture. Folk movement. The revival of Hanfu is not only the study and inheritance of history, but also the promotion and development of traditional culture. It reflects the recognition and confidence of one's own culture and helps enhance national self-esteem and self-confidence.
The main participants of the Hanfu movement were initially born in the 1980s and 1990s, with the core force being young white-collar workers and college, junior high and high school students. In recent years, people born after 2000 have also participated and become a new force in the Hanfu movement. At the same time, many children and some middle-aged and elderly people who were influenced by relatives and friends around them also joined. A clear example is the recent internet celebrity of a young woman who wore gorgeous Hanfu and other ethnic costumes and drove herself to Europe and the United States for promotion.
In recent days, in the alleys and alleys of Jinan Mingfu Ancient City, before the May Day holiday, dozens of Hanfu trial and rental stores have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Before, there were only two or three stores on Furong Street and Yuanhou Street. Probably because they think this business is very profitable, because renting Hanfu with make-up costs about 130 to 40 yuan or even less for four hours. Foreign tourists rent Hanfu to check in and take photos at various scenic spots in the city. Years ago, there were only a few girls wearing Hanfu, but now you can see them everywhere. Wearing Hanfu to take a photo and feel like an ancient lady gives you a feeling of ecstasy.
In recent years, the number of people traveling to Jinan has gradually increased. It used to be limited to Daming Lake, Quancheng Park, Black Tiger Spring and other scenic spots during holidays, but now it has expanded to old streets, alleys, squares, commercial districts, etc. all year round. , it can be said that there are Han women everywhere in Quancheng. The revival of Hanfu has also been driven by the power of commercialization. With the development of related industries, Hanfu culture has gradually moved from the niche to the masses, bringing new vitality to traditional culture.
In the early spring of 2017, when I saw college students wearing Hanfu participating in activities in Quancheng Park, I wrote a poem called "Women in Hanfu Worship the Flower Morning." The light cold weather can't stop it, after all, the spring breeze is coming to Jinan."
It seems that this spring breeze is not only blowing in Jinan, but also blowing rapidly across the country.
