Why do you say that on the day Hanfu returns, China will once again amaze the world?

In recent years, with the trend of promoting traditional culture, more and more people began to favor Hanfu, a traditional costume in China.

At the "Hanfu China" event held in Beijing Yuetan Park, I was really shocked by the Hanfu dress of many young ladies.

Fluttering skirts, simple neon clouds ... full of tang style's rhyme, many people are instantly brought back to the last romance of the Millennium Classics.

What is the charm of Hanfu that attracts so many people?

How important is Hanfu?

Huaxia has clothes, called Hanfu.

In the five thousand years of Chinese civilization, apart from the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, the beauty of Chinese clothes is unique, and the history of China itself is also a history of clothing progress.

Shang Shu Zheng Yi notes "Huaxia" in this way: "The coronation of zhanghua means Huaxia, and the great country is summer." China in China has beautiful clothes.

Imagine that this nation, who lives on the land of the Central Plains, first put on silk because it grows mulberry and sericulture, which is obviously different from the surrounding ethnic groups, hence the name "Huaxia".

Hanfu not only became the mainstream clothing within the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty, but also was actively studied and adopted in some marginal areas of China, which advocated the initiative of "clothes make a country".

Proud to think about it, isn't it?

Nowadays, Hanfu has a modern name-"Hanfu", which can be generally understood as the traditional national costume of the Han nationality.

Book of Rites: "I admire Zhou Zhimian", which shows how Hanfu became a system after the Zhou Dynasty.

Since then, the Han, Wei, Jin, Tang, Song, Ming and other dynasties have all cut and improved their costumes, especially in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when a large number of northern nationalities went south, the costumes of all ethnic groups were comprehensively improved, making them more practical and beautiful as a whole.

However, although the costumes in each period have their own style characteristics, the general shape is subject to the requirements of the Book of Rites, and everyone calls it Hanfu.

In the history of China, people attach great importance to clothing from the official to the folk!

Let's put it this way, whether a dynasty is an important symbol of Han orthodoxy is clothing.

For example, at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the northern tribes went south, which led to chaos in the world. The Sima family fled to the south to claim the title of emperor, and the gentry in the Central Plains fled to the south. This is called "wearing clothes to cross the south" in Stone, which means that the regime wearing Hanfu is orthodox in the Central Plains and is accepted and recognized by the majority of Han people!

Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty, established by Xianbei people, witnessed the first clothing revolution, and then began to be sinicized, which laid a great foundation for the reunification of China.

Once "wearing Hanfu = China orthodoxy", at that time, it was as important as wearing Hanfu!

Where is the beauty of Hanfu?

Traditional Hanfu is generally deep clothing, which is embodied in Zen Guan, Zhu Yi, Fang Xin, Tian Ling and Zhu Lv. Clothes are always called cicada clothes, most of which advocate black, and the use of dark colors can show the beauty of simplicity.

"Ququ" began to appear in the Han Dynasty, wrapped all over and wrapped in circles, which generally looked luxurious and exquisite.

Qu Luan's robe has high requirements for women's figure. Without gorgeous accessories and makeup, a simple bun is beautiful. As the saying goes, "Cherry Su Fan mouth, willow leaves small waist".

For men, this kind of clothing is also quite heroic, such as handsome and heroic Zhou Gongjin, Zhu Gekongming with a ribbon scarf with a feather fan, and handsome guys like Wei Jie and Pan An.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Fu skirts gradually became popular, with wide robes and big sleeves, which appeared natural and free and easy, delicate and ethereal.

The typical representative is the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" headed by Ji Kang. Think about the scene where they stand face to face in the breeze, their sleeves are fluttering, their swords are playing and their harps are flowing, just like they are out of the secular image of a fairy.

Religion prevailed during this period. Due to the development of Buddhism, a large number of Buddhist patterns have appeared on clothes, and the materials and colors of women's dresses are also richer. Pentecostalism is also popular, so a costume originated from Taoism-"ch ǐ ng" appeared, and Wang Xizhi is an admirer of this costume.

In the Tang dynasty, the style of clothing changed from elegant to gorgeous and more open. According to the legendary low-cut skirt of Wu Zetian, modern people call it a chest-length skirt.

Chest-length skirts can be divided into cross-neck chest-length skirts and double-breasted chest-length skirts. No matter what the shape is, it is usually matched with big sleeves, satin and half arms.

Clothing in Song Dynasty generally followed the old system of Sui and Tang Dynasties. Due to the perennial internal troubles and foreign invasion in the Song Dynasty, and the influence of Neo-Confucianism of Cheng and Zhu, the costumes of this period advocated simplicity, preciseness and subtlety.

But the daily Hanfu in Song Dynasty can be said to be very beautiful, which is probably the closest to modern clothing in the history of Hanfu.

Women's clothing is still the main style, and the door curtain has become a popular dress for women, and there are also song pants that match it, which gradually became the daily dress for women later.

Xunzi in the Song Dynasty is a style with long sleeves, long body and crotch under the armpit, that is, the clothes are not stitched before and after, with a belt under the armpit and a suffix behind them.

The vertical design of Xunzi embodies the concept of "thinness is beauty" pursued by women in Song Dynasty. Loose and self-cultivation, elegant style, as "Huanxisha" said: "The green shirt is light and the ice posture is graceful and cool."

In the Ming Dynasty, big dresses gradually replaced skirts.

A coat skirt is different from a skirt. Big dresses don't tie clothes around the waist, but sleeveless vests are also popular. Bi Xia is a shawl; Raccoon is a long coat.

Especially in the Ming dynasty, besides silk, cotton cloth was also very popular, which gave many people room for exquisite clothing. Even if they don't pursue fashion, their comfort can be guaranteed.

Hanfu circle chaos

Hanfu is really beautiful, but when it comes to Hanfu circle, most people's impression is too messy!

The Shaping School and the Original School argue every day, and the war of words continues. MengMeng, who entered the circle of Lian Gang, is often hurt by innocents.

Many Meng newcomers carefully selected a set of Hanfu and looked for this organization with great joy. Somehow, they were swept away: how did you cross the mountain? This is a blasphemy against Hanfu!

Even if you don't get caught, you have to be told a bunch of crazy rules, such as:

You can't wear shoes casually when you wear Hanfu. High heels and comfortable canvas shoes that young ladies like are all illegal.

Beautiful black hair, hair fluttering in the wind,-no, tie it up for me! You can't mix and match, and the shape is fixed from head to toe. If you dare to wear it indiscriminately, I will cut you down in minutes!

In addition, glasses, sunglasses and other items that have a sense of disobedience are also fouls. ...

This round of bombing is like Yue Buqun's roar: Ling Huchong, you didn't learn Xia Zi's magic, but learned the Nine Swords of Dugu, lest I break your dog's leg!

Obviously, these people who stirred up the circle of Hanfu only glanced at the beauty of Hanfu's modeling, but forgot the heavy cultural load behind it. When they are luxuriously dressed, they have built a clear-cut contempt chain and turned Hanfu circle into a cynical and arrogant circle.

At that time, as a gentleman's sword of Huashan School, Yue Buqun's sense of superiority was super strong: "I am the authentic Huashan School!" It seems that after the infighting, I completely forgot that Huashan School is wuyue's "sword" school.

Today's popular Hanfu Niang is similar to the gentleman's sword of that year: Without Hanfu Niang's speech, you Meng Xin can only sit in the back row and can't go beyond the rules!

Therefore, many fans who have a glimpse of Hanfu can only make a clever plan to prevent diss: Although I love Hanfu deeply, I will never enter the circle.

I have seen such a sentence: "There are 56 nationalities in such a big country, and only the Han nationality has lost its clothes." Culture needs to be passed down and recognized by more people.

In fact, Hanfu bears the profound traditional culture of China: Eguan represents courtesy and dignity, Shu robe and wide sleeves mean broad mind, while skirts are light, smart and elegant.

They are the tolerance of "all rivers run into the sea", the tolerance of "great tolerance", the leisure of "picking chrysanthemums under the hedge", the romance of "life and death are harmonious", the elegance of "people are like a bright moon, their wrists are frozen with frost and snow" and the philosophy of "don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you" ...

The revival of Han culture has a long way to go, and the revival of Hanfu has begun to take shape. I believe that in the near future, we will inherit and carry forward Chinese culture.
