Because of the beauty and influence of Hanfu, China's film and television productions that rank internationally are mostly Kung Fu films or ancient costume TV series. Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, two Kung Fu stars, are recognized worldwide, and most foreign audiences recognize Chinese actresses for their roles in ancient costume dramas. South Korea has been envious of this. Since the 1970s and 1980s, South Korea has been imitating Hong Kong in making Kung Fu movies. The South Korean film industry basically started by imitating and remaking Hong Kong films. Now that Chinese TV series have a significant influence, they are starting to imitate China again. In recent years, the only Chinese TV series that have become popular abroad are those with ancient costumes. When foreigners praise China's classical Hanfu and traditional architecture, South Koreans quickly jump in to claim, “That is our Korean style, neither Chinese nor Korean, but beautifully named Oriental style,” which is extremely shameless.
In recent years, with the rise of various ancient costume TV series, there has also been a wave of traditional Chinese culture. For example, you can see many people wearing Hanfu on the streets nowadays, which was rarely seen before. The rise of the ancient costume craze has also driven the popularity of traditional Chinese culture. Today, the editor of Lightning Dubbing briefly introduced some classic dubbing lines from ancient costume TV series, hoping that everyone will gain something from this. Today, the editor of Zhipinbang | Yueyin recommends some popular music from ancient costume TV series, hoping it will be helpful to you.

However, the fact is that in the early Hanfu community, viewing ancient costumes from TV series as standards and promotional materials was very common. Not only did they replicate costumes and poses similar to those in period dramas, but they also compared them to passersby. Actually, the current public impression that people wearing Hanfu look like they're acting in a TV series is the result of early Hanfu community behavior, yet it has now become the main reason many Hanfu enthusiasts criticize passersby for being ignorant. On October 30, 2003, the first Hanfu merchant, “Caiwei Workshop” in Wuhan, uploaded the first set of contemporary Hanfu product photos. “Caiwei Workshop” was also the first Hanfu merchant in the Hanfu movement.
Many people believe that the costumes worn in TV dramas are Hanfu, but actually, there is a difference between the two. Ancient costumes refer to clothing worn in ancient China, while Hanfu is a type of ancient costume. However, the scope of Hanfu within ancient costumes is relatively small, so we should correctly understand Hanfu. Many TV dramas have their own designed costumes, which are also types of ancient costumes and modernized designs. These ancient costumes are completely different from traditional Hanfu. Each dynasty in our history has its own characteristics in Hanfu, so when choosing Hanfu, one should consider the characteristics of different dynasties.
With the rapid development of society, more and more people like to watch various TV series or movies on TV or mobile phones, among which historical dramas are one of the most popular genres. However, most costumes in these dramas are not historically accurate; they are artistic interpretations of ancient clothing. Ancient costumes tend to emphasize time periods and artistic effects, so they are not the same as Hanfu. Ancient costumes are mostly used for filming, photography studios, and performances.
The influence of Hanfu gradually expanded after 2008, with the Beijing Olympics awakening patriotism. The rise of TV series such as “Chinese Paladin,” “My Resolute Heart,” “Scarlet Heart,” “Empresses in the Palace,” and “The Legend of Wu Mei Niang” also sparked interest in “ancient costumes.” Many online shops selling “Hanfu” based on TV series emerged. “These TV series made many people discover the beauty of Hanfu,” said Lin Shiqin, a student from Shangrao No. 1 High School and the first president of the school's Hanfu club. She and several classmates established the city's first Hanfu club. “When we first started the club, we required members to wear Hanfu for activities. Many students bought their first Hanfu at that time. I remember when they were buying Hanfu, some students showed me pictures of dresses worn by Fan Bingbing in “The Legend of Wu Mei Niang” and asked if they could buy the same style. At the time, I explained to them that the costumes in the TV series were not authentic Hanfu but modified ancient costumes, and it was best not to buy such styles.” Although the costumes in these early “historical idol dramas” were heavily modified, their appearance undoubtedly played an important role in bringing Hanfu to the masses.
Many TV series are popular, and their themes vary widely. Given China's long history, many TV series use historical events to create adaptations. These historical dramas have successfully attracted many viewers' attention. The costumes in these dramas are often beautiful, especially the Hanfu worn by concubines and ladies in historical palace intrigues, which have also captivated fans of historical dramas and led to a passion for Hanfu. The charm of Hanfu is hard to resist, and the rise of these historical dramas has sparked a Hanfu trend.
The editor has compiled information about songs related to Hanfu, such as the song “3000 yuan of thread and needle are money,” the song played when the Hanfu beauty leaves in “The Changing Beauty Plan,” the latest ancient costume TV series starring Hu Ge, the song with lyrics “dedicated to weaving without frivolity,” a Chinese-style song whose MV features someone wearing Hanfu, and the song “Hanfu Thousand Years.”
Wearing Hanfu gives men a sense of elegance, grace, and vigor, which is why many young men and women enjoy wearing Hanfu during their free time. This is also one of the reasons for the resurgence of Hanfu. Additionally, the rise of Hanfu is also related to the increase in ancient costume TV series and movies in recent years. As the living standards of Chinese residents improve, people have more leisure time, and watching TV series and movies has become a popular pastime. Many people who appear ordinary in modern clothing transform into stunning characters in ancient costume dramas, sparking the audience's love for ancient costumes.
