Hanfu is a type of traditional clothing, but it does not represent all historical costumes. Historical costumes refer to the attire worn by people in ancient times, which is a general term. In contrast, Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han nationality, representing two entirely different concepts. Hanfu can be seen as a symbol of Han culture; any clothing worn by the Han people is called Hanfu. Historical costumes refer to the attire worn by people in ancient times, meaning any garment from that period falls under this category. Historical costumes are a broad concept encompassing many types, while Hanfu is merely one subset of historical costumes. Moreover, the materials used for historical costumes vary widely, whereas Hanfu uses only a few specific materials. Historical costumes contain more diverse materials and stories, having undergone long-term evolution and development. On the other hand, Hanfu is clothing made by the Han people based on traditional styles, embodying cultural characteristics of the Han nationality. Historical costumes reflect the overall features of the entire ancient era, with various styles. Hanfu specifically refers to the traditional attire worn by the Han nationality, such as tops and skirts or one-piece dresses. That's all it means.…

Chinese incense culture has a long history. As an important part of incense culture - Chinese traditional scented sachet culture, it also carries a large amount of cultural information, reflecting the aesthetic concepts and social customs of people in different periods, as well as the achievements of Chinese textiles and fine manufacturing. Nowadays, due to the emergence and use of aromatherapy, perfume, and other items, incense sachets have rarely been used except on specific festivals and occasions, but they have left a strong mark in the history of incense used in China.   The History of the Traditional Sachet Scented sachet (香囊, Xiangnang) is a folk embroidered craft created by ancient women, originally developed from Peinang (佩囊), a small cloth pocket used by the ancients to hold small objects. There were no pockets on the clothes of the ancients, so some portable necessities, such as seals, hand towels, coins, etc., were stored in this kind of pouch, and when they went out, they put it on their waist, so it was called "Peinang". Scented sachet belongs to a kind of Peinang, which is named after the spices stored in the sac. According to the literature, the history of wearing scented…

"Which dynasty is this ancient Chinese clothing? ", "Is this going through time and space?", the post-90s Huangyang was asked by passers-by in the street when he first went out in a Hanfu in 2012. "But now I'm walking on the road in Hanfu. I have more eyes to appreciate it, and my friends around me have begun to understand us more." She said.

The core features of modern hanfu are: innovation, openness, and contextual diversity.

When I first heard that the children would be appearing in traditional Hanfu at the online Spring Festival Gala, I was very excited. I also noticed that many people were sharing an old post of mine featuring ancient costumes. I am deeply grateful for everyone's attention and love for my work, but since the set of costumes I shared previously is not authentic Hanfu, to avoid any unnecessary trouble, I hope everyone refrains from sharing it too much (the Weibo post has been made private, but there are still some personal posts with pictures of the costume set; I'm currently communicating with them to have these removed). I've also compiled a post about Hanfu to help educate others. I look forward to seeing the children's Hanfu outfits at the online Spring Festival Gala. In recent years, due to the influence of popular historical dramas, many young people have developed a strong interest in traditional clothing culture. For example, someone designed a cute cartoon character wearing Hanfu to promote Hanfu origami. She played the role of Cheng Caiyu, a smart and composed young lady of the Changfeng Escort Agency in the mainland historical martial arts drama "New Bodyguard: The Jadeite Doll."…

The awareness of Hanfu is as follows: 60% of people are clear that the traditional attire of the Han nationality is Hanfu, which is favorable for the promotion of Hanfu. However, 23% still mistakenly believe that Han Chinese clothing is Tang suit, Qipao, or Magua, indicating this misconception. Additionally, 5% think that the Han nationality has no traditional clothing, suggesting there is significant room for the promotion of Hanfu. In understanding Hanfu, 60% know it is the traditional attire of the Han nationality, showing that most students can differentiate traditional Chinese attire well. Yet, 36% of college students regard Hanfu as ancient costumes or attire from the Han Dynasty, while a small 4% are unclear about the concept of Hanfu, indicating that clear definitions need to be improved. In the campus of Qingdao Agricultural University, it's common to see several female students dressed in wide-sleeved robes, decorated with twining lotus patterns, exuding an ancient charm. However, this scene is not from a historical drama but rather from a group of students at Qingdao Agricultural University who love Hanfu. They wear traditional Han Chinese clothing. To these students, wearing their ethnic attire on the street is entirely normal, and they hope…

Many people mistakenly believe that traditional Hanfu is clothing from the Han Dynasty, but in fact, traditional Hanfu refers to traditional Han nationality attire, not specifically Han Dynasty clothing. For instance, the attire from the Qing and Yuan Dynasties are not considered traditional Hanfu; however, traditional Hanfu also faded out of mainstream history with the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Traditional Hanfu is one of the oldest ethnic costumes on Earth, having a history spanning over 5000 years. Throughout these 5000 years, traditional Hanfu has experienced the rule of many dynasties, and its development has undergone continuous changes due to the differences in etiquette, aesthetics, ideology, textile technology, and classification during each dynasty's reign. The term "ancient costume" is a general reference to historical attire, which includes many detailed categories. For example, within ancient costumes, there is Hanfu, as well as the clothing of princes and princesses from the Qing Dynasty, dragon phoenix gowns, and wedding dresses. These are more specific classifications within ancient costumes. New couples should choose the most suitable ancient costume style based on their body type and preferences. For instance, those with a slender figure might opt for Hanfu or Qing Dynasty princess (or prince) attire;…

The differences between traditional Hanfu and ancient costumes are significant. Although many people believe that Hanfu is a type of ancient costume, this is actually an incorrect definition. In reality, Hanfu and ancient costumes are types of clothing, so let's discuss the distinctions between Hanfu and ancient costumes. First, they have different definitions. Hanfu is the clothing of the Han nationality and is a representation of folk culture. Ancient costumes are garments from ancient times. Their definitions are entirely different. However, ancient costumes can be divided into different nationalities and different representations. But Hanfu only represents the Han nationality, and clothing is a major characteristic of the Han people. This is their second distinction. The third distinction between Hanfu and ancient costumes is that they use different raw materials. There are many types of garment materials. However, Hanfu uses only a few types of materials, which makes it easy to distinguish from other garments in terms of both material and quantity. The fourth distinction between Hanfu and ancient costumes is that their styles differ, as ancient costumes have undergone long-term development with varying styles. However, Hanfu is made according to traditional Han methods, so its style integrates Han culture. It…

The Fashion Study Society believes that children are truly the most adorable people. Therefore, mothers should learn some fashion styling techniques suitable for children to make them look even cuter and more lovable. For instance, to ensure the child’s comfort in clothing, cotton linen fabric with a traditional Hanfu style can be chosen. The cheongsam dress can feature button designs paired with a light blue color. The lower half of the outfit can be matched with light beige cotton linen wide-leg pants. With the cheongsam dress pattern, we understand how to cut the fabric. However, the method of cutting is also an essential step in making a beautiful cheongsam dress. When cutting, it is important to distinguish the right and wrong side of the fabric and mark the pattern on the wrong side. Additionally, different fabrics require different cutting methods. It is best to start by cutting the main parts, followed by secondary parts, then sleeves, and finally accessories. This order helps save fabric. Also, the lines drawn for cutting must be straight to ensure the cheongsam dress is neatly made and of high quality. The cheongsam dress is a traditional female attire in China. With the popularity of Chinese…

The reason why people in ancient times wore headwear when dressed in Hanfu is that having loose hair was considered extremely unrefined. The ancients believed that those with loose hair were either barbarians or criminals. Therefore, even after a bath, they would use a wooden hairpin to tie their hair up; this was part of the Hanfu etiquette system of ancient times. However, many people who wear Hanfu in modern times have short hair, so not wearing headwear is also acceptable. Of course, wearing headwear can increase the authenticity of the Hanfu look, and many Hanfu headwear items are very beautiful. The Kong Mansion has over eight thousand pieces of Ming and Qing dynasty clothing passed down, including various fabrics such as satin, silk, silk gauze, and gauze, as well as a variety of craftsmanship techniques including embroidery, weaving, hand-painting, and printing. This collection covers categories such as court robes, formal attire, official robes, everyday clothes, ceremonial garments, casual wear, mourning attire, and accessories like headwear. It is a typical representation of traditional Chinese clothing culture. Among these, the Ming dynasty garments are particularly precious.

The Song Dynasty (960-1279) gave birth to the oriental style top that is very suitable for modern wear, and when you see the Song Dynasty Hanfu, you know that the ancients could be so fashionable. Daily Oriental Style Top Many people think of long dresses, wide sleeves, and loose robes when they talk about Chinese Hanfu clothing.

In terms of clothing: the color representation may not conform to the official regulations: officials up to the fourth rank use dark red, those from the fifth to seventh rank use light green, and those below the eighth rank use green. Generally, civilian clothes of officials are mostly dark blue or sky green, with some green. The official robes worn with official hats are commonly seen in dark red, as we see in ancient costume dramas where people who have passed the imperial examination or become the top scholar wear dark red official robes. However, according to their ranks, those who have passed the imperial examination or become the top scholar are officials of the seventh rank, and should wear light green official robes. It is probably because Chinese people prefer the festive atmosphere of red that they do not follow the regulations completely. Female officials also wear more red official robes, hence, we call women's embroidery and handicrafts "female red", which has unique cultural characteristics. Everyone knows that in many roles in ancient costume dramas, the fresh feeling relies on simple and elegant costumes to highlight it. It's not hard to see that Liu Yaowen's dark blue attire caters…

The people of the Wei Jin period revered nature and transcended materialism, being self-admiring and free-spirited. Thus, their attire was mostly characterized by loose robes with large sleeves, broad bands, and an unconstrained demeanor. However, it is essential to distinguish between the "Wei Jin style" that suddenly became popular in recent years and traditional Hanfu from the Wei Jin era. In recent years, a type of Hanfu featuring crossed-collar wide sleeves directly draped over a large-sleeved robe became fashionable. Actually, this style does not belong to Hanfu as there are no unearthed relics or related textual evidence to support it; it is a form imagined by merchants.

Many people mistakenly believe that traditional Hanfu is clothing from the Han Dynasty, but in fact, traditional Hanfu is the traditional attire of the Han nationality, not specifically from the Han Dynasty.

Traditional Hanfu is one of the oldest ethnic costumes on Earth, spanning over 5000 years, and during this period, it has undergone many changes under the rule of different dynasties.

What is the difference between ancient costumes and Hanfu? Many people comment under Hanfu videos saying that ancient costumes are beautiful. In fact, ancient costumes and Hanfu are two overlapping but not identical concepts. Hanfu emphasizes ethnic attributes, being the traditional clothing of the Han nationality, while ancient costumes emphasize the time period, referring to the attire of ancient times. Most impressions of ancient costumes come from various TV dramas and movies, which is why some compatriots will specifically correct others, stating it is Hanfu rather than an ancient costume because the term "Hanfu" is more accurate. After all, Hanfu has specific requirements for its design, while many costumes in TV dramas and movies are not as meticulous, even the Manchu clothing in Qing Dynasty palace dramas, which belongs to ancient costumes but is definitely not Hanfu.
