Is it necessary to wear Hanfu?

In ancient times, Hanfu was an important symbol to distinguish barbarians. At that time, the image of Han people was dominated by right collar and tied hair, while that of ethnic minorities was dominated by left collar. Confucius respected Zhou Li very much, and once taught his disciples that "when a gentleman dies, he won't get dressed in disorder". It can be seen that in the eyes of Confucius, the importance of clothes is not under life. In ancient times, due to various reasons, many cenotaph appeared. Food, clothing, housing and transportation rank first. It can be seen that in the eyes of the ancients, the importance of clothing is above other substances. Today, Hanfu has gradually lost its original importance, but as a traditional national costume, it still has a reason to exist. Throughout the world, most ethnic groups have their own unique traditional costumes, which clearly show the unique styles and cultures of these ethnic groups, leaving a deep impression on you at first sight and getting to know this ethnic group. Traditional national costume is the most intuitive external expression of a national culture. Seeing Manchu costumes can help us understand Manchu and its culture, and seeing Mongolian costumes can also help us understand Mongolian national customs. At present, most ethnic groups still maintain the custom of wearing traditional costumes, and Han people should also restore traditional national costumes.
