Cultural Differences between China, Japan and South Korea (Clothing)

Because our motherland is a multi-ethnic country, Japan and Bangzi are just a single nation. Moreover, the history of China is 5,000 years. Who can tell which generation of clothes can best represent China? Many ethnic minorities still wear special clothes on traditional festivals. I think there are great historical reasons why the Han people abandoned those traditional costumes in ancient times. As early as the Warring States period, Khufu had an allusion to riding and shooting, saying that the wide-sleeved robes of Hanfu were not suitable for daily life, marching and fighting. The Nuzhen nationality in the Qing Dynasty also had a great influence on the costumes of the Han nationality after entering the Central Plains. You can see from the TV plays of the Ming and Qing Dynasties that the sleeves of the civilians in the Qing Dynasty were obviously smaller, and they all began to wear jackets. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the invasion of many foreign powers had a great impact on China's traditional culture, and the idea of worshipping foreign things and flattering foreign countries came into being at this time. Those fake foreign devils abandoned Hanfu and put on suits. All foreign things are good things, from matches and nails (now called matches and nails in many dialects) to houses (there are many western-style villas, just look at those houses on the beach). Those advanced people who advocate change in order to save the country also have many ideas of blindly abandoning the original traditions of the nation. However, the Chinese nation did not get a chance to breathe after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. From the late Qing Dynasty to the 1980s, the wars and disputes caused by warlords, World War I and World War II, and China all fought for survival. As long as you are full and warm, you can wear whatever you want. It can be said that China didn't have a chance to explore those traditional costumes, and now he has started to wear Hanfu on some occasions, such as paying homage to Confucius. But it doesn't matter which generation's clothes can represent the true spirit of a country after 5 thousand years of Chinese civilization. The Chinese tunic suit designed by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of our country, is the most accepted traditional formal suit at present, and leaders will wear it at the National Day ceremony.
