Controversies over the Chinese dress movement

The Han Chinese dress movement has also caused some controversy, mainly focusing on the following issues: Positive: Han Chinese clothing, despite the influence of other national costumes, but its basic national characteristics have not changed, Han Chinese dress is a huge system, according to various occupations, social strata, age, occasions, and so on, there is a corresponding different system of clothing. How to wear the common people, how to wear the scholars and literati, how to wear the officials, how to wear at home, how to wear the guests and ceremonies and so on have strict rules and regulations. Hanfu refers to the clothing system worn by the Han people from the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the time before the Qing government practiced shaving hair and changing clothes. Hanbok in each dynasty according to the economic level, social culture, aesthetic standards of different and different changes, but the rules and regulations remain unchanged. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, the social culture was open and outward-looking, so the aesthetics of women's dresses with wide sleeves and broad belts as well as bustier dresses underwent some changes in the conservative Song Dynasty. But the men's round-collar robe but since the Tang Dynasty has been continued to the Ming Dynasty, and cross-collar obeisance of the form has not been fundamentally changed.

Opposing side: There should be no such thing in the world as a purely Han national costume. Whether the Han clothes can represent the Han nationality should be decided by the majority of the 1.2 billion Han people with due process **** with the decision, rather than a minority of people on their own behalf. The independent choice of the people should also be respected. Positive: The national traditional costumes of all ethnic groups have been developed from ancient times. This is the very embodiment of ethnicity and tradition. The necessity of the existence of national costumes cannot be determined from the utilitarian point of view of "what can I do if I wear them". Hanbok is the traditional national costume of Han people, which is the representative of national tradition and culture. Han clothing is also the carrier of Han culture, in modern society, people increasingly recognize the role of traditional culture in the harmonious development of society. The implementation of Han Chinese clothing is conducive to the inheritance and development of traditional Han Chinese culture, and is conducive to the improvement of national cohesion and pride, and it is very necessary to restore Han Chinese clothing in modern times.

Opposing side: Although the disappearance of Hanbok is a historical reason, it is a process of abnormal extinction. However, it is also necessary to take into account the historical development and change. Traditional culture and Hanbok are not necessarily linked, and in fact the Hanbok revival movement does not only include Hanbok traditional dress as an element. The restoration of the Hanbok and the revival of traditional culture should not be bundled, nor should we ignore the necessary essence of traditional culture, if only the restoration of the Hanbok as a result of the restoration of the development of traditional culture, then the essence of the Hanbok revival movement has been deviated from. Positive side: Hanbok has both wide-sleeved gowns that can be used for major ceremonies and festivals, as well as tight-fitting, narrow-sleeved casual wear for the home. As a national costume, it has the same elastic space for the occasions of its use, and the Hanbok movement can fully pursue the full everydayization of Hanbok, but not only in festivals, weddings, major ceremonies, Taiji and martial arts, archery and archery ceremonies and other occasions, but also sports, home and other occasions are also completely necessary. This is the same for many nationalities, including Japan, Korea, Hungary, etc., so it is perfectly acceptable to wear one's own national dress for daily work trips, just as in the above countries.

Opposing side: You can wear Hanbok dresses and regular clothes in festivals, grand celebrations, weddings, birthdays, funerals, and leisure time with national characteristics. And it is inconvenient to wear traditional Hanbok on weekdays. Moreover, a part of the current supporters of Hanbok revival resist the innovation of Hanbok styles adapted to the changes of modern social life, which in turn increases the difficulty of promoting Hanbok. Even Japan, South Korea, Hungary and other countries do not have reports and evidence of large-scale long-term use of national costumes in daily work travel.
