What are the traditional costumes of the Han nationality?

The traditional clothing of the Han nationality is referred to as Hanfu for short.

The costumes of the Han nationality are very complicated and have changed greatly since ancient times. Ancient clothes mainly included skirt clothes, robe clothes and trousers clothes. In modern times, great changes have taken place in the costumes of the Han nationality, especially after the Revolution of 1911, which were completely eliminated as feudal grade costumes and complicated decorations. In general, men in towns wear shorts inside and long gowns outside, or jackets and vests outside gowns. There are also people in suits. Women's clothes are generally skirts and trousers under tops.

Characteristics of Hanfu

The main characteristics of Hanfu are horizontal collar and right lap. Instead of buttons, they are tied with ropes, giving people an impression of freedom and elegance. These characteristics are obviously different from the costumes of other nationalities. Hanfu can be divided into formal clothes and regular clothes. From the shape point of view, there are mainly three kinds: "top and bottom clothes" (ancient top refers to bottom skirt), "deep clothes" (top and bottom clothes are sewn together) and "skirt" (short clothes).
