Pre-Qin Period "Ruqun" and "clothes" are relatively similar, but there are still differences between them and need to be discussed separately.

What are Hanfu Ruqun and Shen Yi
Now, the development of Hanfu is becoming increasingly popular. Compared with the unpopularity and unpopularity of Hanfu in the past, it can be said that Hanfu today has undergone earth-shaking changes. People's acceptance of Hanfu also shows that people are constantly accepting traditional culture. I believe everyone knows that Hanfu culture is extremely rich.

So, let’s take a look at some basic types of Hanfu with you today! In the previous article, I have told you that the shape of Hanfu can be roughly divided into three categories.

Tang Dynasty women preferred Hanfu Qi Xiong Ruqun for what reason
Women in the Tang Dynasty really knew how to dress. They emphasize different styles and outfit combinations. Tops include jackets with small sleeves, shirts with wide sleeves, and a variety of skirts. The most eye-catching was the "half-sleeve" dress, the sexiest women's clothing of the time. Half-sleeves, in layman's terms, are an ancient short-sleeved shirt, also called half-sleeves. It evolved from the "half-sleeve" style of the Han and Wei dynasties and was a breakthrough in clothing at that time. Its shape is double-breasted, with sleeves that do not cover the elbows and are waist-length. If worn with a skirt, it is called a "half-sleeve skirt." Even more groundbreaking than half-sleeves is the "topless" skirt, a fashion that boldly reforms the neckline. It changes the traditional openings of round collar, square collar, oblique collar, straight collar and sweetheart collar, increases the size of the opening, and cuts it into a "topless collar". As early as the early Tang Dynasty, people had begun to wear "topless" skirts. When Li Zhi (Tang Gaozong) became emperor, this fashion became more popular. After all, women dress too revealingly, which conflicts with traditional aesthetics. For this reason, Li Zhi ordered that clothes must be modest, which… -
