Brief introduction of Hanfu culture

China is also called "Huaxia", and the origin of this name is related to Hanfu. China pays attention to dress etiquette. The Book of Changes says, "If you are blessed by heaven, there is no harm in good or ill luck. The Yellow Emperor, Yao and Shun hung down their clothes and ruled the world, covering Zhu Gankun. " Duke Zhou ruled the world with courtesy and was honored as a saint by Confucianism. In Yili, Zhou Li and Book of Rites, the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty is expressed through costumes and etiquette, so costumes and etiquette are often used to refer to civilization, and Hanfu is the carrier of etiquette. The Spring and Autumn Zuozhuan Justice is sparse: "Summer is great. China has a big gift, so it is called summer; The beauty of service seal is called China. China, Xia Yi also. " China is called Huaxia, but it is called Huaxia, which is summer and big. Words are full of etiquette and articles are full of brilliance. China is a place where smart people know. Everything is used by wealth, taught by sages, used by benevolence and righteousness, used by poetry, books, rituals and music. "I was taught by the king, I belong to China. I am well dressed, conscientious and polite, so I call it China ". "Shangshu Justice" notes: "The coronation adopts Zhang Yuehua, and the big country is summer." China has been called "a country with clothes and courtesy" since ancient times, and "clothes" has become synonymous with civilization. During the China Chaos, nobles and civilians who were originally in the Central Plains fled to the south of the Yangtze River, retaining the fire of the Central Plains civilization and gradually developing the south of the Yangtze River into a prosperous place. This event is called "Crossing the Crown of the South". Hanfu system shows the hierarchical culture, consanguineous culture, political culture of Chinese civilization, attaching importance to posts and despising customs, valuing the long and despising the young, and Confucian benevolence and righteousness. Under the background of ancient patriarchal clan culture in China, costumes have the functions of showing names, distinguishing between the superior and the inferior, and distinguishing between the noble and the inferior.

The word "Hanfu" was first recorded in the collection of Mawangdui Tomb No.3: Jane 44: "Four beauties, two in Chufu, two in Hanfu". The earliest documentary record is "Arbitrariness" by Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Crown: The emperor always wears clothes, and Hanfu follows Qin, and Li Wuwen." The earliest official record can be found in Hanshu: "(Princess Qiuci) came to congratulate the Han Dynasty several times later, and the clothing system of the Han Dynasty belonged to his country, ruling the palace, going to Wei Zhou, calling in and out, beating gongs and drums, such as Han musical instruments." This is directly related to the reconstruction of Zhou Li's clothing system in Han Dynasty. Just as the traditional dress of Hu people is called "Hu Fu", the traditional dress of China is called "Hanfu". Therefore, the basic connotation of the word "Hanfu" was later fixed, which is the traditional clothing of the Han nationality. In the long history, "Hanfu" has gradually become a cultural symbol of Han people's self-identity. In the Tang Dynasty, Fan Chuo clearly called the costumes of the Tang Dynasty Hanfu. During the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, some foreign chiefs also explicitly used Hanfu to refer to the costumes of the Han people. For example, "After Emperor Taizong of Liao entered Jin, both the emperor and the Nanban Han officials used Hanfu; The empress dowager and the northern Khitan courtiers all wore national clothes, and their Hanfu was the legacy of the Five Dynasties Jin Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty's revision of Liao history even opened up a "Hanfu" for Hanfu. In A.D. 1645, after the Manchu entered the customs, in order to destroy the national will of the Han nationality, when Jiangnan was captured, the "order of shaving hair and changing clothes" was immediately issued. On June 1645, a haircut order was issued, which strictly ordered Han people to shave their hair. Immediately after the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, he was ordered to "obey the uniform of the DPRK" and strictly ordered.
