Hanfu is the costume of the Han Dynasty people and a symbol of the civilization of the Chinese nation. We should inherit and develop more, we cannot stay in the ancient times, we must reform, innovate, and constantly improve. No matter which dynasty or country the clothing is, as long as it is comfortable, decent, and good-looking

Because some people do not want national costumes to appear in China again, such as some countries that do not have their own national costumes.

Don’t underestimate the importance of clothing. Why does the army need uniform clothing? Why must it be beautiful when it is practical? Does anyone know? There will be prizes for correct answers.

Okay, let me reveal the answer first: I agree.

The same goes for national costumes, which identify one’s own nation.

But the enemy country does not want this situation to happen in China. Although they cannot "shave their hair and change their clothes", they can hire some public intellectuals and divide the ethnic groups. No, the debate is Are you coming?

Another answer: "Why do you have to be pointed at when you wear it?"

Because Hanfu is so beautiful, who says it's not beautiful?

In a word If it doesn’t fit, here’s the picture:

Some people say that the Hanfu girl above is unable to work, or that she is not suitable for work. Of course, these are not clothes for work. Have you ever seen Westerners wearing tuxedos for work? This is not the only national costume. The following one is also Hanfu, so it will not get in the way when you work.

To be honest, today’s so-called “Hanfu” circle is the same as the “Ancient Style” circle: they both claim to promote traditional culture, but in fact they know nothing about it----it’s just that they are not the same. For clothes, the other is for poetry.

Looking at the clothes alone, the general shape of Hanfu is "deep clothes", "tops and lower skirts" and "skirts". Among them, the "top and lower skirt" is the most formal and is generally used as a dress; dark clothes are commonly used by officials and scholars; underskirts are commonly used by women. As for the so-called "mud legs" (a contemptuous name for farmers and working people), they are all short clothes trousers.

The best material used is silk, and most of them are just cloth------today, not to mention the material, they only rely on men's one-size-larger nightgowns and women's silk dresses. With the bra and bellyband exposed, it becomes the so-called "Hanfu"? Where did the "collar, lapels, pleats, pleats, skirts, sleeves, jackets, and belts" of Hanfu go?

Secondly, Hanfu is a system, which includes an overall clothing system with the same combination of clothes, headdress, hairstyle, face decoration, shoes, accessories, etc. In terms of heraldry, regardless of color or pattern, they all have designated meanings. Zhou Li said that "patterns are the most precious", and the "Book of Songs" says: "A gentleman wears fur clothes and embroiders clothes, wears jade, and has a longevity test." Don't forget." Among them, the twelve coats of arms also have their own representative meanings ("Yu Huang's "sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, Chinese insects, Zongyi, algae, fire, rice, 黼, 黻 "),;; Footwear (shoes) are also classified into: 舄, shoes, hoodies, clogs, boots, and shoes; headdresses also have their own styles: men wear crowns, scarves, hats, etc. The common ones include crowns, 弁, 廞头, etc. . Women wear various ornaments such as pearls and flowers. They also wear curtains and hijabs on both sides of their hair. ------- Looking at the current Hanfu party: Wearing ancient costumes and sneakers? Wearing a nose stud? Wearing a watch? Is this using Hanfu to carry forward tradition? Well? What we are talking about is the spirit rather than the form? Even if you don’t know what Hanfu looks like, you still have to represent Hanfu?----Even if Speaking of spirit, the body, hair and skin are all influenced by your parents. Why didn’t you keep your hair long when the ancients did it? This is filial piety!

Finally, my views on Hanfu are not unique, but at least they are not crooked--- ---The function of clothing is nothing more than to protect the body from the cold, and we will talk about how to be beautiful later. But does the so-called tradition refer to these? Classics, poems, songs, and even humanistic thoughts, people today wear quasi-archaic clothing--- -Not to mention proficient, how many people even know a little bit about it? By putting on a show wearing something that the ancients did not recognize and people today do not recognize, can they be said to represent tradition and promote culture? To be honest, everyone It is a person’s freedom to wear what they want, and others have no right to interfere. But don’t you feel ashamed to carry out such a shameful fashion under the guise of so-and-so?

As a woman, I think Hanfu is the only way to do it. It is just a kind of clothing. China has more than 5,000 years of culture. Different dynasties have different characteristics, and the same is true for clothes.

Hanfu has a loose structure and is chic and elegant when worn, with an air of immortality. If you are doing nothing, or walking, it will definitely be a beautiful and eye-catching scenery, giving people a pleasing feeling.

But I personally think that any thing will be slowly abandoned by future generations. It makes sense: that is, it is no longer suitable for the development of the times! Our food and clothing are always constantly reforming and getting better. It is simple and practical. If you wear Hanfu to drive, work at high altitudes, or go to the fields, Is labor really suitable? Not only is it inappropriate, but it is also fettering and dangerous

So it is okay to wear Hanfu in your spare time to show off our country’s traditional culture, but if it is revived and retro, it can be regarded as a civilization The mainstream clothing of the era is inappropriate.

I think there are two key reasons for being criticized for wearing Hanfu.

First, it is not matching as a whole. >We can pay attention to how Japanese kimonos look when traveling, and we can also pay attention to how other ethnic costumes look when traveling. People’s hair accessories, headdresses, clothes and shoes are relatively unified, but if you observe us on the road The so-called Hanfu people I meet usually have the same clothes, but what about their hair, especially girls, which are not very standardized, and even disheveled like monsters? Also, the shoes on their feet are all kinds of weird, including high heels, sneakers, and others. Casual shoes. If you don’t know what kind of shoes to wear, you can look at historical pictures or refer to film and television materials. At least you should choose a pair of pure cotton cloth shoes with hand-sewn soles, right?

Second , Hanfu needs to be unified.

The real clothing of the Han Dynasty is not suitable for people today. Not only are the wide robes and big sleeves, but also the pleats on the waist are very laborious, and the hem is very long, which restricts normal walking and activities. Therefore, strictly speaking, we need to make some reservations and trade-offs on the basis of "Hanfu". It must not only conform to the basic clothing and habits of modern people, but also consider the inheritance and special historical and cultural background of the Han nationality. In addition, from the change of dynasties, we can see that not only the socio-economic and cultural aspects are progressively developed, but also human clothing is also developing towards more convenience and practicality.

Of course, the Republic of China did not have the concept of traditional clothing, and the Qing Dynasty was emotionally unacceptable as a foreign rule. Then the only choice we have is to stay in the late Ming Dynasty

To sum up the above two points, "Hanfu" must have a relatively unified model. If there are no rules, there will be no square. Since you do it, you must do it seriously. It is a personal matter to wear a piece of clothing casually to admire yourself, but if you want to enrich the symbol of a nation, you must not be sloppy in details, let alone casual!

No matter whether someone is shouting or shouting for revival, Hanfu, whether it is the belief that Chinese traditional clothing culture will become extinct if it is not revived, or some people try to tighten the definition of Hanfu, such as excluding certain specific Chinese historical costumes (such as cheongsam, etc.) from Hanfu, I will I think you can basically treat this as a hobby, and it won’t be mentioned online.

When many people see the current Hanfu culture, they will compare it to Japan and South Korea. They feel that their traditional clothing culture is more or less well protected, and how many people wear it on a daily basis, and we just do what we do. What we should note here is that they are basically a single-ethnic country, unlike ours where there is no serious conflict and discrimination among various ethnic groups.

Don’t deny it, especially some people, who still look down on the nationalities who once occupied the Central Plains due to certain historical reasons, and make themselves look like "great and upright". All I can say is this People's outlook on life is all eaten up by that thing. They have robbed so much of our land, why don't they just tear it up with their own hands? He is just a keyboard warrior. Therefore, I think that as long as it is a costume that has appeared in China, if you want to revive Hanfu, it is not only better and more accurate to call it "Revival of Chinese Clothing", it is also more convincing.

Secondly, the development of clothing must be accompanied by "ornamental" and "instrumental". There is no need to say that ornamental Hanfu is very beautiful and beautiful, but instrumental Hanfu is very poor and its working performance is definitely It cannot be compared with contemporary modern clothing that has evolved over thousands of years.

So no matter how you play in a small circle or how you gather people with similar hobbies, it doesn’t matter, but a considerable number of people use "Hanfu Revival" as an outline and online. I really don’t know who they are. Where did you learn this routine? Great China, wouldn’t it be China if we didn’t wear Hanfu?

Hello, your description of the problem may be a bit wrong.

Among Hanfu fellows, the so-called copycat does not mean innovation or anything else.

It’s about copying other people’s styles.

Just like plagiarism in books, plagiarism in movies and TV shows, plagiarizing other people’s ideas is disgusting and objectionable.

(The picture above is not a copycat, but a restored picture)

Then let’s talk about what you might want to express.

You may mean that some of the current Hanfu comrades, such as the textual research party, etc.,

cannot accept changes in the Hanfu system, and are relatively resistant to Hanfu clothing.

This will definitely not work in the long run. It changes with the times and it is necessary to incorporate the elements of the times.

However, it is still the early stage of the revival of Hanfu, and many traditional styles have not yet been verified.

Many people do not yet have a systematic understanding of Hanfu.

Some people who wear Hanfu don’t even have the right shape or correct concepts and etiquette.

You have to learn to walk first, and then consider learning to run, right?

After all, the clothes are of national importance, and Hanfu is not just a simple national costume.

Of course, more and more Han costumes have appeared now.

The acceptance of Han costumes is also getting higher and higher. Even if many people have not worn them, they still wear them. Heard of it.

Even if many people don’t like it, they won’t boycott it.

Hanfu is not a simple national costume, it carries the traditional culture of the nation.

Hanfu is a simple national costume. Why can other ethnic groups wear it but we can’t?

Is the popularity of Hanfu a form of cultural renaissance?

p>

In recent years, "Hanfu culture" has continued to rise. There is a group of people who wear Hanfu on the streets and travel, and advocate wearing Hanfu during traditional festivals. Why are these people born in the 80s/90s who grew up in the 20th century obsessed with the costumes of their ancestors?

The Hanfu that has become popular now is not an old thing, on the contrary, it is a new thing.

The revival of Hanfu, whether it is because modern people are tired of modern clothes and pursue retro style, or because of the progress of the times and the continuous development and change of aesthetics, in short, contemporary Hanfu is the product of the times.

Nowadays, many girls wear Hanfu, and they are so beautiful. The beauty of Hanfu is a beauty that is beautiful but indescribable.

Since there are still many people in the contemporary generation who know nothing about Hanfu, here is a simple question and answer method to answer some questions about Hanfu.

First, are all the ancient-looking clothes in TV dramas and photo studios Hanfu?

No, Hanfu has strict requirements. The clothes in some historical dramas (such as the Qin Empire) are indeed Hanfu, but the people taking pictures in fairy tale dramas, martial arts dramas, photo studios and roadside scenic spots are not Hanfu!

Secondly, Hanfu refers to the clothing of the Han Dynasty. ?Or the clothing of the Han nationality?

In fact, the Hanfu we are talking about today is Hanfu in the broad sense, and its full name is "Han nationality traditional clothing". Hanfu in the narrow sense is just a general term for the clothing of ancient Chinese people.

Third, what is the real Hanfu?

Hanfu, the full name is "Han nationality traditional clothing", refers to the beginning and end of "The Yellow Emperor hangs down his clothes and rules the world" In the Qing Dynasty, "shaving your hair and changing clothes" was the clothing worn by the Han people and their predecessors, the Huaxia people, for thousands of years. To put it simply, it is the traditional clothing of the Han people.

Fourth, are Hanfu the clothes of the Han Dynasty?

No! Hanfu refers to the traditional costumes of the Han nation, including Han costumes of all dynasties.

Fifth, Hanfu is not a kimono/Hanbok

Japan and South Korea have been influenced by Chinese culture in history, so the clothes do have similarities, but if you look closely, you can find that they are really different. are different. In comparison, Japan and South Korea have done a much better job of protecting and promoting traditional clothing than we do. Many Chinese people actually only know about kimono and not about Hanfu.

Sixth, what exactly does Chinese clothing include?

Nowadays, when it comes to Chinese representative clothing, what everyone thinks of are cheongsam, Tang suit, and Chinese tunic suit. These improved clothing from Manchus and suits actually have little to do with the Han people who account for about 90% of China's total population and have lived in the Central Plains for thousands of years. Of course, it’s not that the Manchu and Qing costumes are bad, but we even know that ethnic minorities have their own costumes, but we don’t know the costumes that our Han ancestors actually wore.

Seventh, some people may say that Hanfu is cumbersome to wear and has long been unable to adapt to modern life. It is a waste that should be eliminated.

Wearing kimono is more cumbersome than Hanfu, but Japanese people will still wear kimono during major festivals. What is the reason for advocating the revival of Hanfu? It is because the Han people have such serious amnesia about their own culture. In 2010, there was a piece of social magic news: a person wearing Hanfu on the street was mistaken for a kimono and was besieged.

Some blind spots in the understanding of Hanfu

1. Hanfu does not refer to ancient costumes/studio costumes/stage costumes. The costumes designed for filming and performance needs in TV series, photo studios, and stage design are not Hanfu!

2. They are improved Hanfu and not real Hanfu. Improved Hanfu is clothes that contain elements of Hanfu. They are clothes designed by modern people in a simplified way based on the shape of Hanfu. Strictly speaking, this is not Hanfu. However, because it is a garment that contains Chinese elements, it comes from traditional Hanfu after all, and it helps the public understand Hanfu to a certain extent. Therefore, Han elements will be more easily accepted by professionals than ancient costumes, but it is still not a pure Hanfu.

3. A few simple tips for identifying real Hanfu

A. Whether to expose the flesh: Ancient people were conservative and could not expose their arms, legs, waist, or even hands and feet, so Hanfu’s The sleeves are all pulled down, which usually covers all the hands. If the above parts are exposed, it is definitely not Hanfu.

B. Cutting method: Hanfu is all flat cut. If it has a design that can only be achieved by three-dimensional tailoring, it is not Hanfu.

C. Material selection: Hanfu is mainly made of cotton, linen, and chiffon. The colors are simple and simple, and the patterns are mostly traditional Chinese textures. If brightly reflective fabrics or particularly transparent gauze are used, they are generally not Hanfu.

D. Because the "innovative spirit" of contemporary people is so powerful, the above techniques are not applicable to all situations. If you cannot distinguish, please refer to the standard pattern.

When contemporary Hanfu just emerged, a few historians believed that the Hanfu worn by modern people was not the real Hanfu, but a "arbitrary modification of Hanfu culture."

In fact, Although Hanfu in the narrow sense refers to ancient clothing culture, in contemporary society, if we want to carry forward Hanfu culture, we cannot be constrained by the old system and be trapped in a cocoon. If we want to carry forward Hanfu culture, we must constantly broaden our minds, boldly integrate various modern factors, and constantly We must innovate and push the new Han costume culture to a new era and the peak of the world.

Hanfu is the concrete embodiment of China’s “land of clothes”, “land of etiquette” and “splendid China”. It carries the outstanding craftsmanship of the Han people such as dyeing, weaving and embroidery and the aesthetics of the Chinese nation, and inherits More than 30 pieces of Chinese intangible cultural heritage and protected Chinese arts and crafts. (Excerpted from) China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has the beauty of uniforms, so it is called Hua.

Whether I simply think Hanfu looks good, or I am interested in the traditional Chinese beauty values ??embodied in Hanfu, anyway, I do admire the courage of these people wearing Hanfu, their love for traditional culture, and their bravery. The courage to tell everyone what Hanfu is while looking at everyone with strange eyes.

In addition, some people have some prejudices against Hanfu, especially those who think that wearing Hanfu should be fully dressed up like the ancients. In fact, the revival of Hanfu is not a retro. We are not going back to the past, but We must inherit the cultural essence left to us by our ancestors and let it shine in the present and even in the future!

I hope that one day wearing Hanfu on the streets will be as normal as the Japanese wearing kimonos on the streets. .

First of all, Hanfu is the same as all clothes nowadays. It is first and foremost a piece of clothing, but the style is different. Clothes also have the functions of keeping warm and decorating.

Secondly, if people's clothing were all unified into one kind of clothing, wouldn't the whole society be too monotonous? Therefore, in addition to the clothing that people often wear now, it must be very eye-catching if someone wears Hanfu. of.

Thirdly, wearing Hanfu is not something new or different, it is an expression of aesthetics. He has more cultural taste than the man wearing beggar's clothes. Only people who are interested in traditional Chinese culture can wear Hanfu. Some people also wear Hanfu to awaken people's attention and love for traditional Chinese culture.

Fourthly, wherever I see people wearing Hanfu, I feel very beautiful. It's a pity that my figure is not suitable for wearing Hanfu, otherwise I would buy one and wear it. Of course, if you want to make Hanfu popular, just imitating ancient styles is not enough. You should also innovate based on the current actual situation to make it more popular.

"Why are the robes fluttering? The light skirts are returned with the wind."

Hanfu fully embodies the beauty of classical, subtle, light and elegant...

The Han people have been a relatively restrained nation since ancient times, and their pursuit of beauty is not the ultimate in delicacy. It is low-key luxury, coupled with the relative development of the textile industry, damask, Luo, silk, satin, silk, silk, brocade, silk... The differences in each period create different and amazing clothing beauty.
