Hanfu, also known as Chinese clothing, is the traditional clothing of the Han nationality in China. During the 4000 years from the accession of the Yellow Emperor (about 2698 BC) to the end of the Ming Dynasty (65438+the middle of the 7th century), the etiquette and clothing system remained unchanged for thousands of years, centering on Chinese etiquette culture and going through the Han Dynasty. Since Huangdi and Yao Shun ruled the world by hanging down their clothes, Hanfu has taken a basic shape. After the inheritance of etiquette and law in the Zhou Dynasty, a perfect costume system was formed, which was popularized to the people in the Han Dynasty and influenced the whole Chinese cultural circle through Confucianism and Chinese legal system.

The basic characteristics of Hanfu are horizontal lapel and straight lapel, which are tied with rope and also with hooks, supplemented by rolled lapel and straight lapel. Structurally, Hanfu is divided into ten parts: collar, lapel, armband, cuff, sleeve, cuff, cuff and tie.

A complete Hanfu usually has three layers: underwear, underwear and coat.
