Historical Background of Hanfu Movement

Hanbok, the traditional dress of the Han people in China, once called hanbok, hanbok, hanbok, hanbok, chinabok, huaqiao, huaxia huaqiao, hanjia huangshi, etc., is a dress that has been developed and inherited for more than 4,000 years (it died out due to shaving of hair and changing of clothes in the Qing Dynasty, and began to be revived at the beginning of the 21st century), distinguishing itself from other ethnic groups, embodying the cultural connotations of han etiquette and customs, aesthetic qualities and thoughts and philosophies, and highlighting the spirit of the identification of the Chinese nation. The system.

On August 29, 1645 (the ninth day of the seventh month of the second year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing dynasty), the Manchu regime issued a decree on the change of dress, stipulating that "the officials and citizens have shaved their hair, and it is appropriate for them to comply with the system of the present dynasty in terms of clothes and crowns. After the Han Chinese people failed in a bloody revolt, the Han Chinese dress, which had lasted for more than 3,000 years, nearly disappeared.

Men shaved their hair and left braids, which hung behind their heads, and they wore horseshoe-sleeved arrows, tight socks, and deep boots, while Han women's clothing retained the traditional Han women's system of "tops and bottoms". After the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912, Han men switched to wearing suits and Zhongshan suits, while Han women used to wear cheongsams.

But there is a new trend in mainland China to revive the Hanbok tradition, and Hanbok has begun to enter the real world again, with Hanbok activities popping up all over the country. Some hanbok enthusiasts have set up Web sites to publicize the event, and soon more than tens of thousands of people have joined; others have circulated hanbok designs on the Internet and suggested that the Ministry of Education unify the use of hanboks as degree uniforms. Some people call this China's "traditional culture revival" phenomenon.
