When the Western Han Dynasty was established, it basically followed the clothing system of the Qin Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, wearing black clothes must be accompanied by purple silk ornaments. The "long crown costume" is commonly used in sacrificial ceremonies. The queen's sacrificial clothes are: black on the top and soap on the bottom. The queen's silkworm suit is blue on the top and light green (light yellow) on the bottom. When Emperor Wendi was in power, he lived frugally and wore black silk clothes and leather shoes. Generally, officials should wear Zen clothes, which is also commonly known as "talent clothes". During the two hundred years of the Western Han Dynasty, clothing was mainly "deep clothing", which was characterized by cicada's wing crown (hat), red clothing, Tian Zi-style collar, jade and red shoes. The shape of the deep coat is to connect the lower half of the coat and sew it together to make the middle coat of the sacrificial clothing. As a royal coat, you need a red edge. At that time, it was common for men and women to wear the same clothes. Clothing is collectively called "Zen clothing". Zen clothing is a single coat. Zen clothes can be divided into medium clothes and deep clothes, and there is little difference between them in shape and Zen clothes, but the sleeves have changed, and they all belong to single-layer cloth and silk clothes. Officials should wear black Zen clothes in court.

The styles of Hanfu can be divided into two types according to the skirt: one is "Quchan clothing", that is, the skirt tilts from the collar to the armpit; One is a straight-pull Zen dress, which is vertical from the collar. This kind of Zen clothing is also called "Zen clothing". Qu Qu, that is, the deep clothes popular in the Warring States period. It was still used in the Han Dynasty. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were not many men wearing deep clothes, usually straight clothes, but they could not be used as formal clothes. This kind of clothing is long and wide, and there is basically no difference between the government and the people in style, but it can obviously show the grade difference in raw materials and colors.

The Han dynasty had specific regulations on the color of court clothes, which were worn at five o'clock all year round, that is, cyan was used in spring; Red in summer; Season and summer are yellow; White in autumn; It's black in winter.

Han band hooks have reached a high level in modeling, color and technology, and are much more exquisite in design and production than in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period. So it is very popular with men and wears a lot;

Men keep the custom of wearing knives, but the knives they wear are tangible and bladeless, so they lose their practical value, mainly to show their appearance.

In the Han Dynasty, sacrificial clothing was extended to "Great Unity", following the ancient ceremony of wearing a crown dress and wearing a jade pendant. Emperors, officials and princes all use large ones, but they only differ in the texture of the jade beads or silk threads to which they belong. Empress Dowager Cixi, Empress Dowager Cixi and Lady Komsomolsk's sacrificial clothes (temple clothes), silkworm clothes, court clothes and wedding clothes are all made of deep clothes.

In the Han dynasty, working women always wore short skirts and long skirts, and their knees were decorated with long drooping belts. Workers usually wear a raft, calf nose pants and a cloth skirt around their clothes. This kind of clothing is the same for slaves, serfs, businessmen and scholars.
