From the Yanhuang period to the Qing Dynasty, Hanfu, as a costume with a long history, has been China's national costume, formal dress and regular costume for thousands of years. After the Qing army entered the customs, it was forcibly abolished by the Qing rulers, and Hanfu declined from then on. During the Republic of China, Zhongshan suit was once recognized as the "national costume" of China. Since the founding of New China, China has not confirmed its national costume.
