The difference between kimono and Hanfu

Kimono, the traditional costume of Yamato people in Japan, was officially called Kimono in Tokugawa Ieyasu period, which is a hybrid product of the costume of the ancient Emperor Wu of China and the costume of the Tang Dynasty. Kimono is produced under the condition of learning from and learning the shape of Hanfu.

In Japan, kimono is called "clothing" or "five clothes", which means the clothes of Wudi (now Jiangsu and Zhejiang) in China. During the Nara period in Japan, that is, during the prosperous Tang Dynasty in China, Japan sent a large number of Tang Dynasty envoys to China to study the culture, art and law of China, including the system of dressing. At that time, they also imitated the Tang system, promulgated the dress order and salary order, and imitated the imperial clothing system of the Tang Dynasty, which was used for enthronement, coronation, wedding and other ceremonies. Emperor Jacky ordered the whole of Japan to switch to the right hand.

China once enjoyed the reputation of "the country with clothes on", and the clothing culture also had an extremely important and far-reaching influence on the East Asian cultural circle-Hanfu, also known as "the traditional clothing of the Han nationality", was the clothing of the Han nationality with the "Huaxia-Han" culture as the main living area from the accession of the Yellow Emperor to the mid-Kloc-0/7th century (late Ming and early Qing dynasties). The traditional costume system is formed through natural evolution, and it has a unique style and characteristics of Han nationality, which is obviously different from other nationalities. It is the embodiment of China's "country of clothes and clothes", "country of etiquette" and "splendid china", bearing the excellent craftsmanship and aesthetics of the Han nationality, inheriting more than 30 intangible cultural heritages of China and protecting the arts and crafts of China.

Hanfu culture has spread in Japan, Korea and Vietnam since ancient times, and even spread from the East to the West. Many kimonos and Korean costumes are very similar to Hanfu, precisely because they are the products of learning from Hanfu system.
