People have always had many misunderstandings about Hanfu. The biggest misunderstanding is that Hanfu is the clothing of the [Han Dynasty].

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… -

Chinese Hanfu Dress
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 Colorful Culture of Traditional Chinese Clothing - The Origin of Hanfu
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.
