Almost forgot to mention that the phrase "ancient costume is not hanfu" is sometimes used in certain contexts within the hanfu community's theoretical framework. For instance, when discussing more unconventional ancient garments like official robes with peculiar collars or open necklines. The essence of hanfu, as defined by the hanfu community, lies in its representation of the Han ethnicity, thus their standards for hanfu require widespread adoption over a long period and must be absorbed under conditions conducive to the development of hanfu. These criteria are said to be continuously refined to meet new needs. Under these standards, many ancient garments do not qualify as hanfu, but what should they be called then? Such garments are collectively referred to as "ancient costumes." Ancient costumes = hanfu + ancient costumes, such is the capricious nature of the community's terminology. Chinese historical dramas often feature characters wearing long robes with crossed collars (though there's no factual basis for this). The hanfu community refers to these as "large-sleeved shirts" or "overcoats" (arbitrary terms). Naturally, Qin and Han dynasty historical dramas follow suit, incorporating such elements into their hanfu designs. The TV series "The Emperor: Owner of the Great Han" featured such large-sleeved shirts…

Want to show off your enthusiasm in hanfu without looking too awkward or out of place? Try these tips! So you’ve been introduced into the world of hanfu culture, or maybe you’ve been part of the community for a while now. That’s great! Now, how do you plan to incorporate this beautiful aesthetic into your daily life? For the boldest of us, we might be willing to just directly start wearing full sets of hanfu onto the streets, but most of us probably aren’t willing to step so quickly into the deep end. Here are a few ways to show off this aesthetic in your daily life—unobtrusively enough that you won’t stand out too much, but definitely stylish enough to draw some appreciation! Hanyuansu / Modified Hanfu ( 漢元素 / 改良漢服 ) The first, most obvious option is hanyuansu. Hanyuansu or gailiang hanfu is the name given to modified hanfu—hanfu that has been modernized or changed in some way to match mainstream fashion more closely, whether just for the thrill of blending aesthetic or for practicality (i.e., pockets, shorter skirts, shorter sleeves). They resemble traditional hanfu (though technically all hanfu is modified a bit since we only have historical records…

there has been a remarkable resurgence of interest in traditional Chinese attire, known as Guofeng Guochao, across various regions in China. Luoyang (洛阳), renowned for its rich historical legacy as one of China's ancient capitals, has emerged as a focal point for this cultural revival. Visitors strolling through the streets of Luoyang can now frequently encounter tourists donning a variety of Tang dynasty and Song dynasty costumes. Whether riding electric bikes, commuting on buses, or capturing moments amidst pavilions and towers, these individuals have become a unique and vibrant addition to the city's cultural landscape. The sight of tourists dressed in Tang and Song dynasty costumes is not merely a nostalgic reenactment but a celebration of cultural heritage brought to life. Luoyang's comprehensive reforms and innovative cultural tourism initiatives have played a pivotal role in revitalizing its historical narratives. By bridging the gap between ancient texts and contemporary city life, Luoyang has transformed its streets and alleyways into living testaments of its thirteen dynastic histories. Luoyang's approach to cultural tourism goes beyond superficial displays of history; it integrates immersive experiences that resonate with both locals and visitors alike. The blend of ancient attire with modern transportation and photography exemplifies this…

Hey everyone! College applications have been kicking my ass for the past few months so I've been pretty silent for a while, but I'm finally done—which means more hanfu content for you all to see! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m redsugar, or Tangtang (or a bajillion other variants of red and sugar in multiple languages that people have given to me as nicknames)! I’m a gender fluid Taiwanese-American hanfu designer based in the US. I’ve been part of the hanfuhouse community for a couple years now and written extensively about my historical research and designs.

The hanfu culture is no longer just a celebration for a small group of people; an increasing number of ordinary individuals are now sharing their hanfu experiences through creative short videos, integrating hanfu into their daily lives. At the same time, the seemingly unrelated realms of hanfu and fashion have also begun to merge. Hanfu covers in fashion magazines have sparked discussions within the hanfu community, fashion circles, and academic circles alike. Among them, we can find replicas, traditional designs, and fusion styles of hanfu. Dongjin Shangyu has compiled a collection of fashionable magazine spreads featuring hanfu throughout the years for you.   Hanfu in 2013 "FHM" Ten years ago, social networks were not as active as they are today. However, even at that time these three photos broke through the aesthetic norms of the hanfu community and even attracted attention from the media industry. One of these works was used as a cover photo in Issue 112 of "CHINESE HERITAGE" magazine. At that time, Yu Lingyuan was responsible for this photoshoot and said: "The structure of Western suits is similar to Western sculpture - it is very complex in terms of craftsmanship and has a three-dimensional quality. However, what…
