Since the Yellow Emperor, Yao, and Shun put down their clothes and the world was ruled, the Chinese dress had already taken a basic form, and through the inheritance of the rituals and laws of the Zhou Dynasty, the Han Dynasty formed a perfect system of clothes and crowns and popularized them among the people, and also influenced the entire Han cultural circle through Confucianism and the Chinese legal system. The Han people, Han clothes, Chinese language and Han customs were thus named. Japan, Korea, and Vietnam have all enacted laws to emulate the Han clothing system.

The kimono is the traditional national costume of the Japanese, and one of their most boastful cultural assets to the world. The kimono actually originated from the Chinese Han and Tang Dynasty costumes, which were later modified by successive Japanese generations to form the modern Japanese kimono style, but basically there is not much difference from the Han and Tang Dynasty costumes.

The technique of wearing the kimono was developed through a process of refinement and testing in accordance with the customs and background of the times. The elegant and graceful patterns on the clothes are derived from the Japanese people's appreciation of the landscape and their attachment to the land, as well as their delicate sense of the human spirit and situation.
