I like to wear Hanfu, but what if my family says it's neither fish nor fowl?

Don't care too much. After all, Hanfu has disappeared for too long. At first, parents and other elders will inevitably have different feelings.

Let me talk about a concept first. The ancients were very particular about wearing a suit because there were strict rules about dress. What kind of people have the right to wear what kind of clothes is clearly stipulated by the state. If they are not dressed properly, they may be beheaded. Dressing in ancient times was not a trivial matter. From style to decoration, it is a very complicated procedure, which is completely different from modern people's concept of dressing. Modern people dress mainly for beauty and comfort.

The style of clothes reflects the spirit of the times, such as Hanfu, which is basically loose and reflects the refined spirit of the ancients. Wearing such clothes is gentle and elegant, and a gentleman is like jade, which is the highest realm for people to match clothes. Modern people have completely lost the calmness and elegance of the ancients, and their clothes are mainly tight, mainly for the convenience of work and study. Wide and decorative clothes are not suitable for the pace of modern life. The reason why modern people don't look good in Hanfu, especially their parents, is that they can't see the feeling of a gentleman as jade. The design purpose of Hanfu is to make people have the spirit of etiquette. Now they just make an antique, but they have no idea why the ancients designed it this way, so they always feel strange to wear it.

In modern society, as long as other people's hobbies are not illegal and do not hinder others, they deserve respect. It is also a fashion to advocate Hanfu now. Some women can wear Hanfu, and their temperament will be different immediately. Hanfu and cheongsam are the products of two cultures, and the original beauty of women's lines embodied in cheongsam is left over from the Qing Dynasty (there is no intention to belittle the Qing Dynasty here, just to give cheongsam a proper title, and many people will mistakenly think that cheongsam is Hanfu, but it is not at all). Cheongsam is a kind of wild and uncut wild beauty, while Hanfu is a kind of refined beauty, which can better reflect the introverted and self-cultivation-oriented spiritual temperament in traditional culture. Personally, if a man doesn't wear long hair, it's basically neither fish nor fowl to wear Hanfu, so don't wear it. Women can still show elegance and beauty that are rarely seen at ordinary times.

Because Japanese kimonos were originally made by us, many well-designed Hanfu now look a bit like kimonos. We should have cultural confidence in this. They copied us, and we are the source. The most important thing is that we have cultural genes in it, and we know why it is designed like this and what spirit it embodies.

As long as you like to wear Hanfu, but since you wear it, you should take it seriously, let yourself practice slowly, remember the original intention of the designer of Hanfu, and truly show the excellent traditional culture of our nation. I hope this excellent culture can be passed down as much as possible. Be melodramatic, but learn to be tolerant. After all, Hanfu is still a minority, so we must let them grow and develop slowly and let Hanfu carry forward.
