The difference between the big sleeve and the wide sleeve in Hanfu

There is no essential difference between the big sleeve and the wide sleeve in Hanbok, they are both relative to the narrow sleeve, but just the difference in the name of different periods.

The direct translation of "big sleeves" is "wide sleeves".

The Jade Terrace New Rhymes: Songs of Nursery Rhymes from the Han Dynasty: "The city is good for wide sleeves, and the four directions use silk and leather." Wu Weiye 《新翻子夜歌》："Wanting to scratch the claws of Ma Gu, I teach Huan to make wide sleeves." From these verses, we can see the status of the broad-sleeved in the daily life of the ancients.

In ancient times, wide sleeves were mostly found in dresses. And the modern Hanbok is mainly as a national cultural revival and be tapped to reappear, that is to say, is the national costume, but the national costume of the daily dress is replaced by modern clothing in the world. What is left behind is almost exclusively dresses. Therefore, the main body of the Hanbok revival is the dress is not too much, of course, the Arab countries, and Japan and other countries with a strong sense of national identity still have a large number of home national dress, but even in these countries, national dress will rarely appear in the majority of workplaces.

Therefore, the wide-sleeved float has become an epithet of today's Chinese dress.
