The Jin Kingdom sought an alliance through marriage, and King Fuchai hosted a grand banquet to entertain the Jin envoy. During the feast, the Jin official Zhao praised King Wu, and Goujian took the opportunity to flatter him.

The Xia Dynasty was a period of transition from the萌芽 of a nation to its complete form. The Xia society already had new elements with the nature of a nation. From the ancient literature, it can be seen that the Xia Dynasty already had criminal law. According to the preface of “The Book of Documents – Lü Xing,” “Mu Wang instructed the Xia ‘Redemption Law' and ‘Lü Xing,'” indicating the existence of the “Redemption Law” during the Xia Dynasty, which was passed down to the Zhou Dynasty and became an important reference for the Zhou's formulation of criminal law. The so-called “Redemption Law” may be the “Yu Law,” as mentioned by Shu Xiang of the Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, stating that “during the Xia Dynasty, there was disorder, and the ‘Yu Law' was created” (Zuo Zhuan – Zhao Gong's Six Years). The content of the “Redemption Law” is unknown today, but based on its name, it might refer to the substitution of punishment with payment. Regarding the punishments during the Xia Dynasty, according to “Zuo Zhuan,” Zhao Gong's Fourteenth Year, citing “The Book of Xia,” it states: “those who commit crimes of corruption, bribery, and theft shall be executed,” referring to those who commit such crimes being sentenced to death. Shu Xiang of the Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period said this was “Gao Tao's Law,” possibly a law created by Gao Tao and adopted by the Xia Dynasty.

Many people think that ancient Hanfu refers to the clothing of the Han Dynasty, but actually, ancient Hanfu refers to traditional Han Chinese clothing, not specifically the clothing of the Han Dynasty. For example, the clothing of the Qing and Yuan Dynasties is not considered ancient Hanfu. However, ancient Hanfu also faded out of mainstream history with the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Ancient Hanfu is one of the oldest ethnic costumes on Earth, with a history spanning over 5000 years. Throughout this time, it has undergone many changes under the rule of different dynasties, influenced by the etiquette, aesthetics, ideology, textile technology, and social hierarchy of each era.

In ancient times, Chinese clothing was mostly divided into two parts: the upper part called “yi” and the lower part called “chang.” Among them, “ru” referred to short clothes that did not reach the knee, and “qun” referred to skirts made by sewing together pieces of cloth and attaching them to the waist. According to unearthed artifacts, the nobles of the Jin State during the Western Zhou Dynasty wore right-sleeved short tops and skirts. This style later became the most common attire for Han women for thousands of years. Some scholars believe that the ruqun first became popular among the Bai Di tribe that established the State of Zhongshan, while other scholars believe that the clothing worn by the jade figurines of Zhongshan was actually a modified version of deep clothing.
The Jin State did not completely perish; in 37 AD, Sima Rui of the Western Jin royal family established the Eastern Jin with the help of the Jiang family, abandoning the lands north of the Yangtze River and settling in a corner, barely surviving. During this period, the northern nomadic tribes had already entered the Central Plains during the Chaos of the Eight Princes and had taken root, seizing the opportunity to declare themselves kings. Due to the chaos of the minority regimes, they are collectively referred to as the Sixteen Kingdoms in historical records. Among them, the person who promoted ethnic integration and clothing reform must be mentioned: Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
With the emergence of a large number of enthusiasts and researchers of ancient Hanfu, the “revival of ancient Hanfu” is increasingly accepted by the public. Efforts are being made to standardize the categories of ancient Hanfu, forming the modern form and system of ancient Hanfu, making it easier for the public to understand it. This improves the problem of complex and numerous categories. Nowadays, during festivals, many groups organize the public to wear ancient Hanfu for celebrations. We should not feel inferior because our ancient Hanfu has too many categories and is difficult to promote, but there will eventually be a day when it will be successfully promoted.
