Hanfu is rejected by the public, but the suit is called formal suit. Why do some people worship foreign things and flatter foreign countries?

Nowadays, few people wear Hanfu, and calling a suit a formal suit can't be regarded as worshipping foreign things. In fact, this is because suits are more concise and capable than Hanfu, which is more suitable for our fast-paced lifestyle. This is also a manifestation of social progress.

Throughout the ages, China's clothing has been constantly changing. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Hanfu had taken shape, with narrow sleeves and short skirts and wide belts. Women in the Han Dynasty mostly wore long skirts. In the prosperous Tang and Song Dynasties, men's and women's clothes became long skirts with fat sleeves, and men's and women's clothes became wider. In the Qing Dynasty, the costumes changed greatly, mainly with narrow sleeves and plain and serious cheongsam. During the Republic of China, with the continuous blending of Chinese and Western cultures, people's minds were liberated, cheongsam was improved to be more fashionable, and suits became popular in China. It can be seen that the evolution of ancient Chinese costumes was closely related to politics, economy and culture at that time.

In fact, the so-called formal dress refers not only to suits, but also to the clothes people wear to attend serious and important formal occasions. China has always been very particular about clothes. She should wear different clothes on different occasions, which is a kind of respect for others.

In today's society, people like to wear suits, mainly because many Hanfu are long skirts with wide sleeves, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to people's daily life and wages, and Hanfu is relatively complicated to wear. Moreover, formal clothes like suits are concise and capable, which is also convenient for people to cope with busy work and life and adapt to the fast-paced lifestyle now. Therefore, people call suits formal suits, and the rejection of Hanfu is not the result of worshipping foreign things but the result of social progress.

Of course, Hanfu, as our traditional costume, should also be taken seriously, and we should inherit and carry forward the traditional costume with China characteristics. Hanfu can also be our traditional festival, or a formal dress for some traditional cultural propaganda occasions in China.
