Zhang Guannan, 27 years old this year, is the leader among this group of "Tongpao" (a term used by people who like Hanfu and promote Hanfu culture to refer to each other, similar to "like-minded people"). She has always been fond of traditional Chinese culture since childhood and frequently watched historical costume dramas and read novels. Her initial encounter with Hanfu was a few years ago when she went back to her mother-in-law's home in Hebei for the New Year. Her sister-in-law showcased her newly purchased Hanfu outfit, which instantly resonated with Zhang Guannan.

When someone asks what kind of hairstyle should be used with Hanfu, many people may answer with the classic bun. Most people choose to pair their Hanfu with a classic bun because only a complete outfit can display the style they want. We can only say that classic hairstyles complement the classical beauty of Hanfu, but we cannot say that classic buns are the most suitable for Hanfu. When matching Hanfu, instead of using our traditional classic hairstyles, we use pigtails which most people would never think of pairing with Hanfu. However, for some Hanfu enthusiasts, the hardest part is not choosing Hanfu that suits them, but deciding on what kind of hairstyle to have when wearing Hanfu. In ancient times, women's hairstyles were very complex, and each dynasty had different hairstyles for women. For some girls who are not so dexterous, it is very difficult to create an ancient-style hairstyle. Therefore, I believe that when wearing Hanfu, you can also choose some simpler hairstyles, such as a half-up, half-down bun, and purchase some beautiful hair accessories online, which will give a very ancient Chinese woman feel when paired together. Trimming bangs that reach the jawline on both sides of…

Hanfu looks beautiful; traditional Chinese clothing is more suitable for us than wedding dresses. This is due to the unique appearance and temperament of most Chinese people. Of course, this does not include those with more international features. It's not that they don't look good, but rather that they are not suited to traditional attire. Perhaps it's due to our aesthetic differences; we feel that only the gentle appearance of Chinese people can carry off traditional attire better.

One is Hanfu, the other is an ancient costume, one is a traditional garment of the nation with significant historical importance, while the other is a garment that incorporates Hanfu cultural elements but also modern culture and aesthetics. Furthermore, the custom-made requirements for Hanfu are very strict, especially regarding the fabric which should be suitable for long-term wear.
