What are the traditional costumes in China? What are their characteristics?

Tang costume is a kind of costume in China, but it has two different meanings and styles.

First, it refers to Manchu costumes with improved western-style cutting methods, which are characterized by stand-up collars, buckles and double breasts. The name comes from a foreign saying, which literally means clothes from the Tang Dynasty.

chi-pao

The appearance characteristics of cheongsam generally require all or part of the following characteristics:

Right leg

Open or semi-open forms such as large lapels, collar buttons, side slits, single piece of cloth and flat cutting of sleeves. Opening is only one of the many characteristics of cheongsam, not the only one, nor is it necessary.

Han costume

I think Hanfu can best represent China.

The basic characteristics of Hanfu are horizontal lapel and straight lapel, which are tied with rope and also with hooks, supplemented by rolled lapel and straight lapel. Structurally, Hanfu is divided into ten parts: collar, lapel, armband, cuff, sleeve, cuff, cuff and tie.

A complete Hanfu usually has three layers: underwear, underwear and coat.

From the shape point of view, there are mainly "coat with coat" system (coat refers to ancient coat), "deep coat" system (connecting coat with lower coat), "long skirt" system (short coat), pleated system and "general cut" system (gown, coat), among which the coronation suit under the coat is the most solemn and formal dress for emperors and officials. Robe clothes (deep clothes) are common clothes for officials and scholars, while skirts are popular among women. Ordinary working people generally wear brown (short clothes above and long skirts below). Hanfu is the oldest clothes in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Even petticoats or deep clothes were originally worn by courtiers and princes, and have been the first ceremony since the Han Dynasty.
