What is the beauty of Hanfu?
Hanfu has a long history. There is a saying in Zhouyi that "Yellow Emperor Yao and Shun hang their clothes and rule the world". After thousands of years of change, Hanfu is a symbol of national history, culture and spirit, and a unique cultural treasure of the Chinese nation. Together with traditional Chinese food, architecture and Chinese characters, it forms a grand building of Chinese culture. "Spring and Autumn Zuo Zhuan · Justice" says: "China has etiquette, so called summer; The beauty of wearing a chapter is called China." "People depend on clothes", wearing a decent Hanfu, just like putting the heavy traditional culture on the body. People in Hanfu, sitting, is a group of cultural cultivation of the showcase; Walking, is a charm of personality and wind.
Hanfu is a beautiful sight in spring. In the spring season, the grass is long and the birds are flying, and the flowing Hanfu is undoubtedly a flowing Chinese painting in the spring scenery. See Luo Fu in the Yuefu poem "Strangers on Sang" : "On the head, the moon beads in the ears." Xiang Qi for the lower skirt, purple Qi for the upper ru." Luo Fu's beauty attracted Taishou's pursuit: "Let the king come from the south, the five horses stand in hesitation." She declined by boasting the beauty of her husband's clothing: "The white horse from the foal, hair tied horse tail, gold collars horse head; Waist deer Lu sword, can be worth more than ten million."

In fact, Hanfu contains a Chinese discourse system built by the core concepts of Tao, nature, the unity of heaven and man, yin-yang and the five elements, and right as the respect, which has strong Chinese characteristics. Since ancient times, Hanfu has been full of formal dress with colorful dresses and wide sleeves. It has the inner character of elegant and magnificent, upright and generous, kindhearted and free and easy, showing the distinctive Chinese style. Hanfu is light form and heavy spirit, graceful and elegant, profound and smart, reflecting the Chinese people's pursuit of free will not exceed the moment, reserve by implication, and adhere to the aesthetic ideal, with a unique Chinese style. Because of this, Hanfu is not unrelated to the many reputations imposed on China, such as "the country of clothes", "the country of etiquette and justice" and "Splendid China".
Hanfu is not a static unearthed cultural relic, but a living social custom. In the Book of Rites, Quli, it is recorded: "For the Son of Man, his parents exist, and his crown and clothes are not pure." Solitons are not pure, their crowns and clothes are not pure." In the jubilant wedding ceremony, the youthful graduation ceremony, and the vibrant online celebrity punch card, Hanfu lovers highlight the etiquette rules behind the colorful.
As a cultural phenomenon, with the popularity of traditional Chinese culture, under the background of globalization, Internet users represented by overseas students initiated a topic discussion of "What kind of clothing can represent China dominated by the Han nationality". They carried out research on the system and culture of Hanfu, set up many Hanfu societies, organized the propaganda of Hanfu culture, called each other "with the same robe", and took the concept of "Chinese rejuvenation, clothes first" as a "Hanfu hot" online and offline.
In recent years, activities such as Hanfu etiquette and Hanfu festivals have sprung up. According to incomplete statistics, as of the end of 2019, the number of Hanfu societies in the world exceeded 2,000. As of October 2020, the topic of "Hanfu" on Weibo had been read 4.1 billion times, and the top Hanfu topic on a certain social platform had been played 42.29 billion times, with 415 million potential Hanfu users including overseas users.
"Zhou Yi · Bi ·彖传" says: "rigid and soft interleaved, astronomy also. Civilization ends with humanity. Watch the heavens to see how The Times change. Look at humanity to become the world." Tao Te Ching Chapter 25: "Man's law is the earth's law, the earth's law is heaven's law, the heaven's law is Tao's law, and the road is nature's law." Hanfu is the product of the ancient Chinese people who took the natural cosmology and immersed it in their daily life. "Later Han Shu · Zhi · Yu Fu under" : "Later saints easy to silk hemp, view the text, the color of glory, is dyed silk to effect, the beginning of five, into a suit." When they see birds and animals with crowns and horns and whiskers, they make crowns and ornaments." Calligraphy, martial arts, handicrafts, etc., are also linked with the genius wisdom of the ancients.
Taking the trade dress as an example, the Taoist "vestments" wear the knowledge of the ancients about the sky on the body, the Taoist teachings, the representative symbols of auspicious patterns, such as the sun, the moon and the stars, the eight trigrams, the dragon, the phoenix, the crane, the unicorn, and the pagoda. The seven coiling dragon buttons of Taijiquan training clothes represent the Big Dipper; Two sleeves on one side of two buttons, called two yi, together called four images.
In the knowledge system of Hanfu itself, the implication is also extremely abundant. In the kingdom of clothing, Hanfu belongs to the "plane tailoring" clothing system, divided into clothes, clothes, deep clothes, cut four categories. Clothes is the basic shape of men's high-level dress in the Hanfu system, the so-called "Yellow Emperor hanging clothes and the world rule", which has evolved into dresses, often used for men and women's regular clothes and women's costumes. Loincloths are the earliest garments in the Hanfu system. They are divided into three categories: underpants (loincloths in ancient times), which were first seen in the jade people unearthed at Lingjiatan site and have a history of more than 5,300 years; Outer pants (ancient known as "hakama" "town"), the appearance is similar to today's pants; Overpants (ancient known as "shin clothing"), similar to today's Mongolian wrestling sports overpants. Deep clothing began in the pre-Qin dynasty, typical features are cut and attached, and later generations evolved Qu train, 袿 clothing, HND, etc. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was changed from the northern ethnic costumes, and the typical feature was that the upper and lower parts were integrated.
In different scenes, different Hanfu shows different style. In the life etiquette scene, wearing graduation dress, wedding dress, sacrificial dress and other ceremonial clothes, such as men's dark dress, women's phoenix crown and Xipei style, exquisite craft and gorgeous appearance complement each other, showing solemn atmosphere, respectful and calm; In public life scenes, wear ceremonial dress, festival dress, foreign-related dress, etc., such as men's deep clothes, round neck robes, shirts, women's big-sleeved dresses, chest-length skirts, cross-collar skirts and other styles, appear dignified and generous, peaceful and confident; In the daily life scene, even a simple dress, such as narrow sleeves with pants or skirts, also appears calm and relaxed.
Mr. Zhong Jingwen said that clothing in Chinese society is not only a part of life culture, but also often contains a lot of symbolic and ideological ideas or its background. A Hanfu, can read the wearer's gender, age, personality, accomplishment, spirit and other aspects of information.
At present, young people are the mainstream hanfu lovers. Bathed in the sunshine and rain of traditional culture, a Hanfu is a leaf of youth. The Hanfu is the youth. Youth permanent, with a Hanfu, lightly turn a circle, spring is in sight.
