China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia, and it has the beauty of uniforms, so it is called Hua. Hanfu is the most beautiful cultural heritage of our long-lasting Chinese civilization. From the Yellow Emperor to the mid-17th century AD, Hanfu has carried the fine traditions of China for five thousand years. Influenced by the charm of China, more and more people have joined Hanfu. The craze of revival chooses to pick up the elegance of these five thousand years. 1. What is Hanfu? The first thing you need to understand about Hanfu is that Hanfu is not the Han Dynasty costume, nor is it some weird, shiny studio outfit, but a unique costume of the Han nationality, which was ruled by the hanging clothes of the Yellow Emperor, Yao and Shun. From the end of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the civilization of each dynasty was transformed, and each dynasty transformed Hanfu to incorporate the flavor and wisdom of the times. The main types of Hanfu include curved skirts, straight skirts, high-waisted skirts, skirts, round-neck robes, jackets, Zhuzi deep clothes, Xuanduan, etc. In the pre-Qin Dynasty, heroes competed with each other and…

The Qixiong Ruqun, a traditional attire belonging to Hanfu, refers to a specific style of women's Ruqun worn during the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties period. In ancient times, the Ruqun worn by ordinary women typically featured a relatively low waistline. However, during the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties period, a distinct style emerged with a significantly higher waistline, often referred to in costume history as the high-waisted Ruqun. Based on contemporary research, it is commonly known as the Qixiong Ruqun. The Qixiong Ruqun was highly popular among Tang Dynasty court ladies, as evidenced by numerous preserved ancient paintings and unearthed artifacts. There are two main styles of Qixiong Ruqun: the straight-front style and the crossed-collar style. The straight-front style features symmetrical openings at the front of the bodice, fastened with ties or buttons at the chest, while the crossed-collar style has overlapping front pieces secured at the chest side. Both styles share the characteristic of a high-waisted design for both the top and the skirt, creating an appearance of slender elegance. So, wearing such an elegant and beautiful attire, is it still necessary to wear a bra underneath? This question might intrigue many people. Actually, during the Tang Dynasty,…

Hanfu, also known as traditional attire of the Han ethnic group, is officially named Huaxia Yiguan. Hanfu originated from the Yan and Huang era at the beginning of the Huaxia civilization and took shape during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. The name "Hanfu" emerged after the Han ethnic group formed during the Han Dynasty. Since then, it has been passed down through the generations with its basic characteristics unchanged. However, in the early Qing Dynasty, rulers promoted Manchu hairstyles and clothing vigorously to weaken the ethnic identity of the Han people and maintain the rule of the Manchu nobility. They cruelly enforced the "queue order" to forbid people from wearing Han ethnic clothing, leading to the collapse of the clothing system and the gradual disappearance of Hanfu. The earliest record of Hanfu can be found in the "Western Han bamboo slips excavated from Ma Wang Dui in Changsha," which mentioned, "Among the four beautiful women, two were dressed in Chu clothing and two in Han clothing." We know that throughout China's thousands of years of history, Confucianism and Taoism have influenced ancient rulers in various ways. As an important means of managing the country by ancient rulers,…

The Origin of Hanfu Hanfu, also known as traditional Han clothing or Chinese clothing, is the traditional attire of the Han ethnic group, inheriting a history of five thousand years with profound historical roots. According to legend, Hanfu originated in the era of the Yellow Emperor when primitive agriculture and textile production emerged. Initially, clothes were made of hemp fabric, but later silk cultivation and spinning were invented, leading to the refinement of clothing. The appearance of crowns during the time of the Yellow Emperor marked the gradual formation of clothing systems. Basic Structure of Hanfu Traditional Chinese clothing, representing the essence of Chinese attire, has two basic structures: the upper and lower garments system, and the unified upper and lower garments system. The upper and lower garments system, according to legend, originated in the era of the Yellow Emperor, as recorded in "The Commentary on the Thirteen Classics": "The Yellow Emperor, Yao, and Shun wore garments, and the world was governed; they took them from the heavens and earth." This legend finds confirmation in the painted pottery culture unearthed in Gansu. This can be considered the earliest form of clothing system in China. The style of the upper and…
