China Culture Introduction Hanfu Culture

Hanfu culture has a long history. Hanfu, that is, "traditional costumes of the Han nationality", is a traditional costume with the cultural connotation and characteristics of the Han nationality, which gradually developed from the beginning of "Huangdi, Yao and Shun, ruling the world by hanging their clothes". Because the Han nationality was unified to the Qin Dynasty and the national strength of the Han Dynasty was strong, it was called the "Han nationality" and hence the name "Hanfu". In a few cases, "Hanfu" refers to the costumes of the Han Dynasty.

Cai Yong in Du Dan in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Heaven is the crown, and the emperor always wears clothes, and Hanfu follows Qin, which is rude." It means "Crown of Tian Tong", which is the official costume of the Emperor of Heaven. The Han Dynasty inherited the dress system of the Qin Dynasty. Among the unearthed cultural relics, the earliest record of "Hanfu" can also be traced back to the Han Dynasty. According to the "44 bamboo slips" in the manuscript of Mawangdui Tomb No.3, "There are four beautiful women, two dressed in Chu and two dressed in Han."

There are four beautiful women, two wearing Chu clothes and two wearing Hanfu.

"Hanshu": "(Princess Qiuci) later came to pay homage, enjoyed the Hanfu system, returned to his country, ruled his palace, bypassed Wei Zhou, called in and called out, and beat gongs and drums, like a Han ceremony."

Liao Shi Yi: After Emperor Taizong of Liao entered Jin, the emperor and the Han officials in Nanban all used Hanfu, while the empress dowager of Beiban and the courtiers of Qidan all used the national costume. Its Hanfu is a legacy of the Five Dynasties. "

According to records, during the Han Dynasty, Princess Qiuci came to the Han Dynasty many times to congratulate her and liked the dress system of the Han Dynasty. After returning to China, she carried forward the etiquette of the Han family. During the Song Dynasty, Liao adopted two clothing systems at the same time-the emperor and Han Chinese officials wore Hanfu, and the empress dowager and Qidan officials wore their own national costumes. It can be seen that "Hanfu" has become synonymous with the national costumes of the Han nationality.
