What is the difference between what we call Hanfu and traditional clothing today? Why is Hanfu fever happening? What is the future trend of Hanfu... Recently, reporters interviewed costume historians, Hanfu designers, Chinese traditional culture promoters, etc. They explained their understanding of Hanfu from different perspectives. What is Hanfu? What are the characteristics? What is Hanfu? According to clothing historian Professor Huang Qiang, Hanfu has appeared in ancient classics and refers to traditional Chinese clothing. "Huang Emperor Yao and Shun hung down their clothes and ruled the world", which means that Hanfu began with Huang Emperor Yao and Shun. From then on, from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and later the Manchu and Qing dynasties, each dynasty had its own characteristics. Ruqun made in the Northern Song Dynasty. For example, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, "shenyi" means to hide the body deeply, with clothes on the top and clothes on the bottom, which not only combine the two into one, but also maintain the boundary of being divided into two. It is characterized by cross-collar (the left and right sides of the front of the garment intersect), wide body and…

China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia, and it has the beauty of wearing seals, so it is called Hua. As a traditional costume of the Han nation, how much do you know about Hanfu? Chinese civilization has a long history. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, China has been influencing East Asia, Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and even Central Asia and the Mediterranean region. By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, China had become a world-wide superpower, and its gentle policy of not intervening in other countries' internal affairs led to many countries surrounding the Sui and Tang Dynasties professing vassalage to China and accepting canonization by the Chinese emperor. Not only that, Chinese culture is also changing the habits of neighboring countries with its unique charm. For example, Chinese people are accustomed to using chopsticks to eat, which is simple, convenient and low-cost. Later, the Korean Peninsula, Japan, Indochina and other regions gradually adopted chopsticks for eating. For another example, China's traditional clothing, Hanfu, also influenced the clothing of neighboring countries in ancient times. Even now, many people can't tell what Hanfu, kimono and Hanbok are. "Hanfu", as the name suggests, refers to the traditional costumes of…

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. To put it simply, the clothes of the Han Dynasty are Hanfu, and the clothes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties are also Hanfu, but Hanfu…

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? Which dynasty did Hanfu originate from? The origin of Hanfu "In ancient times, when people lived in caves and lived in the wild, clothes and hair peeled off, and there was no system. Later generations of saints used silk and linen to change it. After observing Hui Zhai's writings and the glorious color, they dyed silk to achieve the effect. They began to make five colors and became clothes." ——Volume 120 of "Book of the Later Han Dynasty"·Zhi·Yu Suixia Hanfu is not "the clothing of the Han Dynasty", but its full name is "the traditional clothing of the Han nation". Also known as Han clothes, Han costumes and Chinese clothes, they are clothes with unique Han national style and character formed through natural evolution centered on Chinese etiquette culture. They carry the Han nationality's outstanding craftsmanship and aesthetics such as dyeing, weaving and embroidery and inherit it. More than 30 pieces of Chinese…

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…

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…

In the long river of Chinese civilization spanning five thousand years, Hanfu shines like a bright pearl, radiating brilliance. 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. Hanfu originated during the time of the Yellow Emperor and gradually developed a complete system of attire during the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. In the subsequent Qin and Han periods, Hanfu was further perfected and popularized, becoming the representative attire of the Han Chinese people. Hanfu comes in a variety of styles, from the ceremonial robes worn by emperors to the court attire of officials, and the everyday clothing of commoners. Each type carries profound cultural connotations and ritual norms. With its wide sleeves and graceful silhouette, Hanfu embodies an elegant and solemn temperament. Its intricate designs, rich colors, and exquisite patterns, whether elaborate embroideries or simple lines, reflect the ancient pursuit of beauty and love for life. The colors and patterns of Hanfu often carry profound meanings. For example, red symbolizes joy and auspiciousness, while dragon and phoenix patterns represent power and nobility. The use of these colors…

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. Narrowly defined, Hanfu refers to the clothing system represented by the central plains of the Han Dynasty, inheriting the diverse clothing culture of the Eastern Zhou period, such as the curved hem of Chu clothing, the high collar of Qin clothing, and the back-opening hem of Qi clothing. The stable form of Hanfu was established during the Han Dynasty and has since accompanied the dissemination of…
