People have always had many misunderstandings about Hanfu. The biggest misunderstanding is that Hanfu is the clothing of the [Han Dynasty]. They blindly pursue retro style and abandon clothing after the Han Dynasty, treating them as "alien". Or they think that the modern improved Tang suit is also Hanfu. In fact, these two views are extremely wrong. Hanfu does not specifically refer to the clothes of the "Han Dynasty", and the current men's casual Tang suit is by no means Hanfu in the true sense. ​ Hanfu in a broad sense is [the traditional costume of the Han nationality], also known as Han attire, Han costume, and Chinese costume. Generally speaking, it refers to the clothing culture that the Han people continuously evolved and formed based on Chinese culture from the time when the Yellow Emperor came to the throne to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It includes the clothing styles of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains throughout the dynasties, from clothing, hats, shoes and socks to clothing and accessories.

The revival of Hanfu in recent years has made more people understand the beauty of Hanfu. In the eyes of inheritors, Hanfu is not only a set of beautifully embroidered clothes, but also accumulates the dazzling charm and temperament of Chinese civilization. So, what exactly is Hanfu?

Hanfu is indeed very beautiful, and some people have vigorously promoted it in recent years, but it just hasn't become popular. On the contrary, Western-style clothing has always been popular. So, why does such a situation occur? (Internet picture) I think that to understand this issue, we need to have an in-depth understanding of the background of the formation of Hanfu. 1. Hanfu is a relatively primitive clothing. Clothing first appeared in human life for the purpose of keeping out the cold. Considering the factors of beauty, culture, and social function is something that comes later. The first styles of clothing designed to keep out the cold were an imitation of houses. The house is a circular body covering human beings. Therefore, clothing also comes to people in the form of a circular body. Hanfu is generally a piece of cloth that stretches from the shoulders to the feet, forming a cylinder. However, since it was necessary to free the hands for work, two more sleeves were extended on the cylinder. However, if these two sleeves are too narrow, they will obviously be inconsistent with the main body, so it is called wide sleeves (of course, there are cultural explanations…

Hanfu is a traditional Chinese costume that has been inherited for more than 4,000 years. During its long historical development, its fabrics, patterns, styles, cutting methods, production techniques, etc. have been continuously updated, and the styles have become more and more abundant and exquisite. , the connotation is getting richer and richer. Historically, Hanfu is not only becoming more and more complete in terms of etiquette, but Hanfu in different historical periods also has very distinct characteristics of the times, from the Yellow Emperor's "hanging down clothes to rule the world", to the gradual formation of the Shang and Zhou Dynasty crown clothing system, and then to During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the form of Hanfu became increasingly perfect, and Hanfu became more and more a distinctive symbol of the Chinese nation.

1. What is Hanfu? 2. What is the meaning behind Hanfu? 3. Why are more and more modern young people wearing Hanfu? 1. What is Hanfu? First of all, when many people see the word Hanfu for the first time, they will naturally think that Hanfu refers to the clothing of the Han Dynasty. In fact, this is wrong. The full name of real Hanfu is actually: traditional clothing of the Han nation. That is to say, in addition to Han Dynasty, Zhou, Tang, Song, Ming and other styles are also part of Hanfu. In fact, it is very difficult to understand Hanfu as a piece of clothing. However, if we deify Hanfu and sublimate it from a kind of clothing to a national symbol and a cultural carrier, it will be much easier to understand. 2. What is the meaning behind Hanfu? In fact, historically speaking, Hanfu actually has gaps. And this biggest fault comes from the Qing Dynasty, which is closest to us. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, after the bannermen entered the customs, in order to stabilize their political power, they began to carry out cultural reforms and suppression of the Han people. In order…

Immortal mantles are fluttering, and the snow is dancing in the returning wind; lotus clothes are about to move, and the rings are clanging... Nowadays, with the return of traditional culture, Hanfu continues to appear on various occasions. Banyuetan reporter’s interview found that although Hanfu has entered the young group, it is only on the surface, and the public has mixed opinions on this phenomenon. The Renaissance of Hanfu: a fashion and lifestyle Song Nan wears a hairpin and a crimson stand-collar double-breasted long coat and a gold-woven and blue horse-faced skirt. She looks like a woman who has traveled from ancient times to modern times. "The clothes I'm wearing are from the Ming Dynasty. Long coats and horse-faced skirts were very popular at the time," Song Nan said. Song Nan, 37, started paying attention to Hanfu 20 years ago. "I now wear Hanfu 24 hours a day and have hundreds of sets of Hanfu in my wardrobe. When I first went out on the street wearing Hanfu, people kept looking at me, and some people came over and asked, 'Am I filming?' But now there are basically no people. It will feel weird, but everyone is already very accepting…

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,…

It is not only the traditional attire of the ancient Han Chinese people but also an important carrier of Chinese culture. Across millennia, it still demonstrates its unique charm and elegance.

Understanding the Cultural Beauty Behind the Hanfu Craze The rising popularity of Hanfu in society not only indicates people's admiration for its beautiful styles but also represents their recognition of the traditional culture it embodies. However, when some non-standard or historically unfounded Hanfu becomes popular in real life, people may mistakenly view it as a window to understanding traditional culture, leading to misconceptions. With its elegant flowing skirts, graceful feathered garments, and delicate silk jackets, Hanfu-clad individuals can be frequently seen nowadays in streets, parks, and malls. Hanfu has become an essential attire for many photography sessions, film productions, and cultural events. In a broad sense, Hanfu refers to the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic group, encompassing a variety of styles that have evolved over time by absorbing elements from other ethnic costumes.

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…
