When can clothes be called hanfu?

Many people may think that only clothes of the Han Dynasty can be called Hanfu, but it is not. Hanfu, known as "the traditional costume of the Han nationality", is also known as Hanfu official, Hanzhuang and Huafu. From the accession of the Yellow Emperor to the mid-Kloc-0/7th century (late Ming and early Qing), in the main residential areas of the Han nationality, the "Huaxia-Han" culture was taken as the background and the "Huaxia-Han" culture was the leading ideology. With Chinese etiquette culture as the core, the unique Han style and personality formed through natural evolution are obviously different from the traditional clothing system of other nationalities.

Hanfu "began in Huangdi and was prepared in Yaoshun", which originated from the coronation made by Huangdi. Stereotyped in the Zhou Dynasty, and after the Han Dynasty, based on the Four Books and Five Classics, it formed a complete robe and costume system and became a part of Shinto. ? Therefore, China's later dynasties lived in the Zhou Dynasty and the French and Han Dynasties, and it was a national event to inherit the mantle of the Han Dynasty, which led to Yu Dafu's ambition in the twenty-four histories.

"The Yellow Emperor and Yao Shun govern the world by hanging down their clothes, which benefits from Gan Kun", which means that the shape of the petticoat under their clothes is determined by God's will and sacred. Hanfu has also influenced the whole Chinese cultural circle through the Huaxia legal system, and some ethnic groups in Asian countries, such as Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Mongolia and Bhutan, have or learn from the characteristics of Hanfu.

According to the definition of Hanfu revival, Hanfu refers to the main residential areas of the Chinese nation (also known as the Han nationality after the Han Dynasty) from the 2nd1century BC to the mid/7th century AD (late Ming and early Qing), which formed a unique Han nationality style and character through natural evolution.

Obviously different from the traditional clothing and decoration system of other nationalities; In other words, "traditional costumes of the Han nationality (Hanfu)" is an overall collection of a series of costumes with obvious unique styles, which evolved naturally from Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to Ming Dynasty on the basis of the costumes worn by the "Huaxia-Han nationality" ethnic group.

Hanfu, as the "skin" of the Chinese nation, is deeply imprinted in all aspects of Chinese civilization, representing the gorgeous, elegant and broad temperament of this ancient nation. Like ancient China, the basic form of Hanfu provided a standard for the eastern world. Today, the national costumes of many ethnic groups in China and East Asia, such as the costumes of some ethnic minorities in China, have been influenced by Hanfu. Korean hanbok and Japanese kimono are both directly developed from hanbok. Hanfu is not only the Hanfu of the Han nationality, but also the Hanfu of Asia and the world.
