Characteristics of Hanfu in Han costumes

From Yan Huang to the end of Ming Dynasty, Hanfu has developed for more than 4,000 years. It is a rare national costume with the longest inheritance time in the world. Although Hanfu has been developing continuously through the alternation of dynasties, its basic characteristics have never changed, and it is the most representative traditional costume in China.

Basic characteristics of hanfu

Hanfu has developed for such a long time, and there are so many styles accumulated in past dynasties, which is really dazzling. So, does Hanfu have a more unified feature? How to distinguish it from Manchu costumes from Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China? Many friends have doubts about this question. To this end, I have specially compiled the lyrics of Hanfu and Furman 16 for your comparison:

The general characteristics of Hanfu are: take off the coat, cross collar, loose long sleeves, hidden buttons and laces, tops and skirts.

Compared with the whole set, it is characterized by: the stand-up collar leans forward, small cufflinks, piping without waist, wearing robes and pants.

However, for friends who already know the basic characteristics of Hanfu, this formula of 16 is not enough and cannot cover all the characteristics of Hanfu. Therefore, it is divided into two parts: men and women, trying to contain the most Hanfu elements with the least number of words. The goal is that you can make clothes according to the melody, which is difficult to make into Hanfu. The characteristics and precautions of men's and women's Hanfu are as follows:

The revival of the Dragon Boat Festival means that the Dragon Boat Festival will return to the lives of our people. It mainly includes: reviving and eliminating customs (bathing orchid soup with Hanfu,

Men's wear: precautions

XuanYuanZhi began to combine clothes. 【 Since the Yellow Emperor ruled the world by hanging clothes, China's clothing used to be characterized by lapels and coats. ]

A week's ceremony will be fixed for a hundred years. 【 The costume system of past dynasties followed the requirements of Zhou Li, and the delivery system was always the mainstream 】

Xuanyi is a kind of ceremony, [the highest clothing for men's wear is made in weekly fashion, and the collar is separated up and down, such as Duan Xuan].

Deep clothes are more common. [Deep clothes are second only to instrument clothes made under coats, which are more convenient to cut and become men's uniforms]

Casual clothes are made of robes without crotch. [Since Sui, Tang and Ming Dynasties, robes with split sides have been casual clothes, and their etiquette status is lower than that of Duan Xuan and Shenfu].

The style of the owner of the delivery. [From the perspective of collar type, robes are mostly horizontal collar and vertical collar, such as robes, short robes, collar robes and collar shirts]

The middle coat collar is exposed, [all middle coats are cross-necked, and the collar edge is slightly higher than the coat collar]

It looks good inside and outside. [Hanfu pays attention to "heavy clothes", at least double clothes and three clothes are complete, but not necessary]

Leaders have different edges. [The Book of Rites stipulates the color of leaders' edges, and intuitively distinguishes Hanfu from kimono]

The sleeves are covered and the hands are loose and long. 【 The cuff is wider than the armpit and longer than the hand surface, which is different from the big sleeve with wide and short sleeveless curvature in the late Qing Dynasty 】

The elbow on the back of the hand is the right body, [according to the requirements of the ceremony, the length of the formal sleeve of the scholar needs to be pulled back to slightly reduce the elbow]

Civilians also have short clothes. But the sleeves of ordinary people's clothes are relatively short, and the cuffs just cover their hands. ]

For the first service, crowns and scarves are essential. [The crown and scarf starting from the fixed bun are an indispensable part of Hanfu]

Pants and socks are hidden in boots. "Shoes and boots as a full set of clothing, used with cloth socks"

Hidden buttons are strong at the waist. [Hanfu uses buttons, which are also placed in inconspicuous places, and they are not buttons but buttons]

Ying Jichang Han Zhijia Lang. [Tie the tassels, inherit the ancient meaning and show the national customs, which is the elegant demeanor of Hanfu]

Women's wear: matters needing attention

The coat and skirt look good, [women's Hanfu featured coat and skirt]

Deep clothes are cut into half clothes. There are two distinct styles of women's wear: deep dress and instrument dress, dress and dress.

Even the body is in ancient costume, [contrary to men's Hanfu, women's clothes are deep clothes, which are connected from top to bottom]

The grace of chai is full of clothes. "Hairpins in the Tang Dynasty, wearing skirts, elegant and generous"

The length of clothes changes with the times. 【 All previous dynasties were short skirts with skirts on the top, or short skirts with skirts on the bottom, but the fashion was different and the clothing remained unchanged 】

A light skirt never dies. [Basic styles of upper and lower skirts remain unchanged]

Collar type is straight, it should be straight. 【 Collar type includes horizontal collar, straight collar and double collar, but they are all straight edges, intersecting/flat in the middle, without bias collar 】

The skirt is wide and different. [The difference between Hanfu and Kimono: Kimono can only be opened without swinging, while Hanfu's skirt is very wide and easy to move]

Short coats have been buckled, [women's clothes have short lapels, but only metal collar buttons have appeared, and no cloth buttons have been used to encircle the body]

The skirt in the Tang suit is very high. [In the Tang Dynasty, it was popular to wear a polo skirt with a high collar, only wearing terminalia chebula and not wearing a raft, which became a seemingly unique "Tang suit"]

Wearing clothes is for the love of women, [wearing Chinese clothes and accessories, such as shawls, cloud shoulders, half arms, silk and so on. , is often a necessary combination]

More fashionable than spaniel. [The style developed from shirts belongs to a fashion and cannot be classified as the basic category of Hanfu]

Nepotism is more graceful, [like Hanfu men's clothing, girding the waist]

The sleeves are covered with jade and the hands reflect red makeup. [The sleeves are still different from the split sleeves of women's dresses in Qing Dynasty]

The costumes of the Han nationality are very complicated and have changed greatly. Generally speaking, ancient clothing pays attention to decoration, and the grade difference between clothing and decoration is strictly regulated and insurmountable. In modern times, clothing has abolished the hierarchy and tends to be simple and practical. ?

From the shape point of view, the ancient costumes of the Han nationality mainly include skirt clothes (the upper part of the ancient coat is a skirt), robe clothes (that is, deep clothes, sewing the upper part of the coat together) and trousers clothes. Among them, the coronation dress is the first-class dress of emperors and officials; Robes (thick clothes) include gown and dress. The former is the dress of Baiguan and Shu Ren, while the latter is the dress of the Queen and his wife. Pants are civilian uniforms.
