What are the traditional costumes of the Han nationality?

The traditional costumes of the Han nationality are referred to as Hanfu, that is, Hanfu, also known as Hanfu and Huafu. It belongs to the traditional costume of Han nationality in China. It is the whole collection of a series of Chinese national costumes with strong Chinese national style from Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the end of Ming Dynasty. Its origin can be traced back to the period of three emperors and five emperors. Since the Yellow Emperor ruled the world in the Yanhuang era, Hanfu has taken a basic shape. After the standard system of the Zhou Dynasty, it was fully perfected and popularized in the Han Dynasty, so there were names such as Han people, Chinese characters and Hanfu. The main characteristics of Hanfu are horizontal collar and right lap. Instead of buttons, they are tied with ropes, giving people an impression of freedom and elegance. These characteristics are obviously different from the costumes of other nationalities. Hanfu can be divided into formal clothes and regular clothes. From the shape point of view, there are mainly three kinds: "top and bottom clothes" (ancient top refers to bottom skirt), "deep clothes" (top and bottom clothes are sewn together) and "skirt" (short clothes). Among them, the coronation under the coat is the most solemn and formal dress for emperors and officials; Robes (deep clothes) are generally worn by officials and scholars, while skirts are worn by women. Ordinary working people generally wear short clothes and trousers.
