Ancient Style Hanfu

If you’ve read my previous article that attempts to give a general overview of the many terms for supernatural beings in Chinese mythology and folkloric tradition, then you’ll know how nearly impossible it is to, well, give a general overview of Chinese mythology and folkloric tradition! Chinese culture is simply too vast, too complicated, with too many little offshoots and alternating viewpoints all fighting for prominence. Each mythological system comes with its own unique highlights and fascinating characters and stories, making each and every system indispensable, because no matter how much groups throughout China’s history have tried to clamp down on other traditions, religions, or mythologies, ultimately cultures and stories cannot be destroyed so long as they genuinely hold the fondness and interest of the people. So if you’re like me and are very interested in learning more about Chinese mythology—especially the roots of where they came from, and landmark works of literature that have helped various traditions and tales maintain popularity and longevity—then read on! In this article I’ve complied a list of six of the most well-known, most influential, and most well-written works of Chinese mythology and folklore. This is based on my own research, so it may…...

In 204, a Hanfu lecture organized in collaboration with the library left a deep impression on Xu Junjie. "We spent nearly a month preparing for that event, and I revised the lecture notes four or five times before feeling confident enough to present them." After returning home from work, Xu Junjie didn't even have time to catch his breath. He turned on his computer, ate while working, researched materials, and took notes. He almost read through all available resources such as Traditional Chinese Clothing Illustration Handbook, Comprehensive Dictionary of Chinese Clothing, and Modern Hanfu Cutting Reference Atlas. It was common for him to work until 2 o'clock in the morning. "For me, this was also an opportunity for intensive learning. By researching extensively, my understanding of Hanfu became more systematic and comprehensive." According to reports, Panzi Women's Studio has a dedicated product research and development team. The main sources of product creativity come from four areas. First is The Shu Yu Atlas, which is derived from ancient poetry and prose, such as recreating scenes from "Washing Silk in the Stream"; second is The Ling Ying Pavilion, which involves reproducing IPs from TV dramas and films; third is The Love of…...

Firstly, the differences between Hanfu wedding dresses and ancient costume wedding dresses can be seen from their names. 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. On the other hand, ancient costumes have evolved from the appreciation of Hanfu by modern people and do not require long-term wear, so there are no particular requirements for the fabric. Do you know the difference between Hanfu and ancient costumes? It's very likely that what you're wearing is just an ancient costume. An ancient costume is merely a piece of clothing. Some say: "Hanfu is a piece of clothing, but it's more than just a piece of clothing, it's actually a representation of national spirit and national consciousness." The biggest difference between ancient costumes and Hanfu is that ancient costumes were worn by ancient people, and we don't have to wear them; Hanfu was worn by our ancestors, and we can still wear…...

Weiwei, who once encountered Yunshang Hanfu Experience Hall hosting a Yaji in Xixi Ancient Village, mentioned that several years ago, when she saw a girl wearing Hanfu at the crossroads in front of Guomao for the first time, she would wonder, "Why is someone wearing ancient costumes on the street?" However, now through frequently watching short videos on platforms where Hanfu-related content has been viewed over 500 million times, she has become familiar with various styles such as the upper garment and lower skirt style, connected upper and lower garment style, upper garment and lower pants style, and continuous cutting, and no longer refers to it as "ancient costume." Xitang meticulously nurtures Hanfu as a distinct cultural symbol. Hanfu, with its needle and thread, initiates a dialogue spanning ancient and modern times in Xitang. A standard Hanfu upper garment uses four pieces of cloth, symbolizing the four seasons; the lower garment uses ten pieces, representing ten months in a year. The neckline crosses left over right, indicating the concept of "without rules and squares, there can be no accomplishment." There is a straight seam running from top to bottom on the back, symbolizing human righteousness. [What is the Significance of…...
