Characteristics of Han costumes

1, basic structure

Hanfu is made of cloth and silk, with a width of 2 feet and 2 inches (about 50cm). It is divided into ten parts: collar, lapel, slit, sleeve, sleeve, belt and collar.

2. Cross the right neck

When the left skirt and the right skirt cross the chest in Hanfu, the neckline naturally crosses, so it is vividly called "cross collar".

3. Compliment clothes with wide sleeves

Since ancient times, Hanfu has been praised for its dresses, coats and wide sleeves. Compared with western clothing in the same period, Hanfu has indisputable superiority in human nature. When westerners use breastplates and skirts to restrain women's physical development, generous Hanfu has realized the characteristic of letting the body stretch at will.

4, lace hidden buttons

The hidden buckle in Hanfu actually includes two situations: buckle and non-buckle. Under normal circumstances, Hanfu does not use buttons. Even if buttons are useful, they are hidden and will not be exposed.

Extended data:

Although Hanfu itself disappeared under the ruling policies of shaving hair and changing clothes in Qing Dynasty, some elements of Hanfu did not die out because of its strong vitality. Some elements of Hanfu can still be seen in some important sacrifices, commemorative activities and folk festivals in modern society until Taoism, Buddhism, some people in remote mountainous areas and many ethnic minorities in China.

At the beginning of the 20th century, with the development of China's national strength, people began to examine the outstanding parts of their traditional culture.

Some people have restored the traditional costumes of the Han nationality by studying Hanfu and removing its dross. At the same time, they restored traditional festivals, restored traditional etiquette, offered sacrifices to sages, popularized traditional theories, and promoted traditional musical instruments, which was called Hanfu Movement.
