Hanfu also has ceremonial and everyday wear; there's a distinction between modernized and restored versions. For daily commuting, it's more appropriate to wear everyday or modernized versions, while ceremonial or restored Hanfu is suitable for celebrations and rituals.

Wearing large sleeves, floor-length skirts, elaborate headpieces, and sword-shaped hair accessories might appear somewhat excessive in my opinion. Among these, the long skirt is not an absolute necessity, but the large sleeves are. Hanfu needs to evolve with the times and integrate into modern life, as daily activities often involve school or work. Hanfu enthusiasts may have other events or gatherings, and most will choose whether or not to wear Hanfu based on the occasion and nature of the event. From ancient costume dramas, we can see that people wearing Hanfu often carry sachets or jade pendants, which can be considered the most distinctive feature of Hanfu.

When putting together a complete Hanfu outfit, one can choose corresponding Hanfu accessories to play around with their Hanfu…

Compared with long-sleeved tops, the difference is that the sleeve length can reach the elbow. In the Tang Dynasty, the Banbi was already a popular garment worn by both men and women. In the long years, its wearing method is also basically limited to the set of other long-sleeved clothes, because in formal occasions, the ancient people will never wear Banbi alone and show the arm. But with modern aesthetics, today's Jiao Ling Banbi (交领半臂) can be worn alone in summer, which is somewhat similar to the short-sleeved T-shirts worn by modern people, and because of its shorter sleeve length, it does not hurt to pair it with a modern skirt, and men can also wear a Banbi with…

Double-Eared Let’s start with the most classic of ways to tie a skirt—the double-eared.
