What is this Hanfu?

Although the styles of Hanfu are various and complicated, including dresses, uniforms and special costumes, careful analysis shows that according to the overall structure, they are mainly divided into three categories. The first is the "deep coat" system, that is, the "upper coat and lower skirt" are connected together. Upper and lower dress system is the most typical one. Because it is connected from top to bottom, it is called a deep coat. Including straight clothes, crooked clothes, robes, straight clothes, robes, etc. It belongs to long clothes. The most representative of deep clothes is that the top and bottom skirt are cut separately and connected at the waist; The upper and lower skirts are cut separately and then sewn together. Finally, clothes are still a style. For convenience, the clothes are sewn together, but the cutting of the upper and lower parts follows the ancient tradition. Deep clothes can be worn by both men and women. It can not only be used as a dress, but also be worn everyday. This is a very practical dress. It is also the clothes of monarchs, officials and literati when they live in Yanju, which refers to informal occasions and belongs to casual clothes. The popularity of Shenfu is very high, which has been circulated for more than 3,000 years. From the pre-Qin period to the end of Ming Dynasty, the Shenfu system was gradually formed.

The second is the "deep service" system, which is divided into "up and down", including coronation and porch, and is the formal dress for the monarch and officials to participate in grand ceremonies such as sacrifices. As the name implies, it is divided into clothes worn on it and clothes worn below. Huaxia clothing has advocated top and bottom since ancient times, stipulating that "clothes are in the right color, and the top color is in the right color", that is, the top color is pure and the bottom color is staggered. This way is like "Heaven Xuan Dihuang", because the sky is made of light gas, so it is made of solid color, and the earth is made of heavy turbid gas, so it is made of intermediate color.

The third type is the "skirt" system, which mainly includes high-breasted skirts, high-waisted skirts and double-breasted skirts. In fact, it also belongs to the top-down skirt system. However, there are not many etiquette rules in this way, which is generally used for uniforms. Skirts are also the biggest embodiment of upper and lower clothing. "Comb your hair on three sides and dress in two stages" has become a description of the characteristics of traditional women's wear.
