Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han Chinese, with a history spanning over three millennia. It encompasses various styles and designs that have evolved through different dynasties, reflecting the cultural, social, and economic conditions of each era.
Hanfu typically consists of an upper garment like a ru jacket or paofu robe, paired with a qun skirt as the lower garment. Other styles include the aoqun, beizi, shenyi, and shanku.
Hanfu often features silk fabrics, such as brocade, damask, satin, and gauze, which were developed during the Han dynasty. These fabrics are highly valued for their quality and craftsmanship.
In traditional Hanfu, clothing was used to signify social status, with specific colors, patterns, and fabrics reserved for different ranks. The guan and mianfu were particularly important for distinguishing social ranks and ceremonial purposes.
Today, Hanfu is experiencing a revival, especially among young people in China and the overseas Chinese diaspora. Modern designs often blend traditional elements with contemporary styles, creating a unique fusion of heritage and fashion.
