Xuande: The attire established in the Zhou Dynasty is black and has wide sleeves (a large sleeve is bulky). When sacrificing, other clothes are mainly bent: upper and lower pieces, one or several circles around the body, which produces the special winding effect of daily clothing in the Warring States period. In the Han Dynasty, it evolved into clothing, and there were no models with narrow hems, so they mistakenly thought it was a long and deep garment. Compared with the popular T-shirt at that time, a piece of cloth was used at the bottom of the T-shirt, symbolizing that the month of the year had not been handed down. In the Ming Dynasty, you found that men's clothing was straight through: a man's daily clothes cut off, a belt or a small red shirt. Men's daily clothes have also been cut off, with a dark swing and pleated effect. Ruskirt: Women's daily clothing, jacket is a jacket, skirt is a skirt: Women's T-shirt, a kind of Confucian skirt similar to modern short-sleeved shirts. The clothing style of the Tang Dynasty is the same as ordinary Confucian skirts, but the upper bust is based on May running (duke'er, a kind of underwear and down jacket, Korean dress as a reference). Wupair brocade T-shirt: In the period of women's T-shirts in the Tang Dynasty, Han clothing was different from the usual cross-collar, but the style of Du Jin was brocade.

Beitong: Cape, men's daily clothing, and the bun of women's clothing: The clothing of working people was jackets and bags (pants can be tied with a belt, the slits of the sleeves on both sides of the coat were small, for work convenience, it can be used as casual wear and modern home wear, including: Men's and Hakka clothing as auxiliary (women's wear is trousers, women's clothing is women's dress and skirt dress) (when women wear skirts, men's clothing needs to wear a single piece. If a white robe is not worn with a Han suit, it is just like wearing the same shirt as a suit. This is very rude behavior.
Hanfu is worn according to different occasions, mainly divided into ceremonial occasions and everyday occasions, specific occasions. Modern Hanfu is mainly divided into: wedding attire, festival attire, sixtieth birthday banquet attire, first birthday attire, ritual attire, etc. Ritual attire is mainly worn on formal, ceremonial occasions, such as weddings, funerals, etc. Hanfu, as a formal attire by theme, is generally not used as everyday attire except for ceremonial festivals, formal occasions, and specific events, similar to the status and form of Hanfu in China today. Moreover, there is a trend of more women's Hanfu than men's Hanfu in modern times, with Korean men preferring Western suits over traditional Hanfu, thus leading to more women's Hanfu in modern times.
The data shows that the main force among Hanfu enthusiasts is high school and college students, and there is a trend towards younger age groups. Combined with the high proportion of female enthusiasts, this indicates that Hanfu for young girls is the main product in the current Hanfu industry. Data source: public information.
Many people's understanding of Hanfu women's wear is still largely limited to ancient costumes or modified traditional clothing. Regarding it as an “ancient costume” means recognizing elements such as “cross-collar,” “right lapel,” and “tied belt” as exclusive to characters in films, TV dramas, and ancient-style novels. Considering it as “modified traditional clothing” means that while adhering to the ancient clothing system, modern elements are flexibly applied, seamlessly integrating with daily life and perfectly adapting to modern aesthetics. As the saying goes, a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets. As someone whose views differ somewhat from the mainstream in the Hanfu community, I would like to share my thoughts on this issue. Here, I will only discuss the influence of fashion trends on Hanfu women's wear, without evaluating whether the styles of certain merchants are correct or how similar they are to ancient clothing.
Currently, Hanfu is still predominantly focused on women's wear, accounting for 79.04% of the product categories sold by Hanfu merchants in 2019, while men's wear accounted for only 12.52%. The main reason is that women's consumption of clothing far exceeds that of men, and there is much greater room for development in women's styles. Women's special preferences for clothing aesthetics, combined with their greater emphasis on dressing in traditional life, result in more diverse and aesthetically pleasing women's clothing forms, which is also why the Hanfu movement is dominated by women. Additionally, men's Hanfu is primarily formal wear, with less focus on daily wear, leading to lower consumption of casual men's wear, making it less attractive to capital and thus reducing the visibility of men's Hanfu merchants. Furthermore, with the entry of capital into the Hanfu community, “fairy dresses” with Han elements have rapidly taken over the market, further squeezing the space for men's wear and solidifying the image of Hanfu.

From the distribution of business scopes of Hanfu merchants in 2019, most Hanfu merchants specialize in women's wear, accounting for 79.04%. Additionally, 35% of Hanfu merchants specialize in both men's and women's wear, 12.52% focus on men's wear, 12.0% focus on children's wear, and 0.08% focus on wedding attire. In terms of price distribution, Hanfu priced below 200 yuan has the highest sales, accounting for 66%, followed by the 200-400 yuan range. This indicates that ordinary consumers do not place a high value on the price of Hanfu, and quality and professionalism are not core demands of the consumer base. Despite this, the number of new Hanfu merchants continues to grow. Nationwide, 36 provinces, regions, and municipalities have annual Hanfu sales reaching the million-yuan scale, covering 82.35% of provincial administrative regions. The top 10 sales regions include the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, and Sichuan Province. Among all Hanfu merchants, those specializing in women's wear account for 75.95%, while those operating both men's and women's wear account for 22.35%, mostly focusing on women's wear. Those primarily focusing on men's wear or specializing in men's wear account for only 1.35%, children's wear accounts for 0.98%, and wedding attire accounts for 0.37%. The top 10 online stores are almost exclusively dedicated to women's wear. In the 2018 online Hanfu market, women's wear dominated in both quantity and value, with a growing share. Men's wear, on the other hand, held a much smaller share but remained relatively stable. The share of unisex clothing was low and declining. Therefore, among Hanfu merchants, those specializing in women's wear are the majority, while those specializing in men's wear and unisex clothing are significantly fewer. The age distribution of Hanfu enthusiasts shows that the 9-24 age group has the highest proportion at 52.4%. Compared to 2017, the proportions of all age groups under 18 have increased, especially the 6-8 age group, indicating that the main force of Hanfu enthusiasts is high school and college students, and there is a trend towards younger age groups. Combined with the high proportion of female enthusiasts, this suggests that Hanfu for young girls is the primary product in the current Hanfu industry. Most Chinese consumers support wearing Hanfu in daily life. 53% believe that wearing Hanfu promotes excellent traditional Chinese culture, and 43.5% believe that what one wears is a personal choice. Only 3.4% of Chinese consumers think that wearing Hanfu in daily life is too unconventional.
