Han nationality clothes

"Hanfu" is the abbreviation of "traditional costume of Han nationality". It mainly refers to a series of clothes with obvious unique styles that naturally developed and evolved on the basis of the clothes worn by the main population of Han nationality (called Huaxia in pre-Qin dynasty) before the end of Ming Dynasty (about 2 1 century BC to the middle of AD17th century). In modern Chinese dictionaries, there is no word Hanfu, but if we look through ancient books, we will find that Hanfu is not fiction. Among the national costumes of the 25 th instrument II in Volume 56 of Liao History, there are national costumes of "Hanfu Huangdi started to make coronation clothes, and the later kings sacrificed them to enjoy them" and "Huitong, Empress Dowager and Northern Courtiers"; Emperor, Hanfu, a courtier in the south. After Ganheng, Libei also used Hanfu. After the Xi celebration, gifts were combined with Hanfu. "Zuo Zhuan" says: "China has a big gift, so it is called summer; The beauty of the clothes is called China. " There is a cloud in the Book of Justice: "The coronation with the seal of the left shoulder will make it brilliant, and its interpretation says:' Summer is great, so a big country is called summer and China, and it is called China.' From this, we can see the difference between "well-dressed" and "left-handed" foreign clothes. As a surname, "Huaxia" can be seen as early as "Shangshu Zhoushuwucheng Chapter": "Huaxia is quite a mink, so it is useless to give it. "This shows that at that time, China people regarded etiquette and costumes as an important symbol of the Chinese nation's difference from neighboring tribes. Compared with Khufu, Hanfu is one of the symbols that distinguish the Han nationality from other cultural groups. At first, it was the name of other nationalities for the traditional costumes of the Han nationality, and later it became a cultural symbol of the self-identity of the Han nationality. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the basic characteristics of Han costumes have not changed much in the past three thousand years. It was not until the early Qing Dynasty more than 300 years ago that this clothing system collapsed. 1644 After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, in the war between the Qing Dynasty and Nanming, in order to weaken the national identity of the Han people and achieve the goal of unifying China, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty imposed Manchu hairstyles and Manchu costumes, forbidding people to wear Han costumes, which was called "shaving hair and changing clothes" (also known as "shaving hair"). This makes Hanfu gradually die out. At that time, the Duke of Confucius' descendants' feast wrote to Dourgen, asking to keep the clothes of Confucius' family, saying, "A saint is a master of ceremonies ... The most important thing to hold a ceremony is to wear a crown ... but the clothes of ministers have not changed for 3,000 years ...", but Dourgen refused. Today's cheongsam, gown and mandarin jacket are all developed from the improvement of Manchu-dominated national costumes. After the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the aristocratic rule of Manchu, people's thoughts tended to westernize and changed to western-style clothes, but they did not restore Hanfu. But at the beginning of the 20th century, with the development of China's national strength, people began to examine the excellent parts of their traditional culture. Some people once again advocate the restoration of traditional Hanfu and its popularization in Hanfu.
