What is Hanfu?
What is Hanfu?

A: It is called summer because of the beauty and great etiquette of the service seal. Han people are from China, so Hanfu can also be called Hanfu. Hanfu is the national costume of the Han people.

My personal understanding of Hanfu is: the country ruled by the Han nationality in the whole history, the dynasties/periods in history, spring, summer, autumn and winter, festival sacrifices, weaving, dyeing and sewing, fishing while the iron is hot, chopping wood for farming, riding horses to drive cattle,

According to climate change, etiquette and customs, fashion, convenience of life and other factors, various etiquette styles, including miscellaneous performance clothes, have become popular in life. , collectively referred to as Hanfu.

PS: At the same time, we need to pay attention to different styles and customs, the economic ability of the public, and harmony. (except for vulgar hobbies such as girding/foot binding)

Is the word Hanfu coined by the revival of Hanfu?

A: No! The word Hanfu has existed since ancient times.

"Hanfu" in the following classics is a concept of Hanfu relative to ethnic minorities.

(Song Dynasty) Ceng Gongliang: Preface 22 of General Theory of Wu Jing. China and Beijing States: "At the beginning of the Khitan invasion of Hebei, the German Qing army fell, captured the people here and settled in the city. The cities from the lowest to the smallest are two miles away. There is a washe granary in the city, and there are many Hanfu people. "

(Song) Chao Shuozhi: "Song of Yinshan Daughter": (I heard that there are women at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, and Hanfu plays pipa, which means very different. )

"Historical Records and Biography of Clothes" wrote, "As for the cicada crowned with Zhu Yi, the heart bends and the collar bends, and Yu Pei Zhu Lv is called" Hanfu ".

(Song) Jiang Shi Lu Garden (Volume 77): Youzhou ... The residents are scattered and the lanes are straight. There are hundreds of them, all of which are Hanfu, and some of them are in Khitan Bohai Women's Ears. "

(Song) Xu: "Three Dynasties North Alliance" Volume1/kloc-0: "Marshal House (Jin) banned people's Hanfu, and people who cut their hair might as well die by law.

(Ming Dynasty) Written by Liu Cheng: Collected Works of Yi Tong (volume 10) Biography of Mr. Wu Ciwei: "Erwei scolded me:' I can't die, my official is self-sustaining, and I can't be rude until this happens. ”"

(Ming) Quan Yuanli: "Send Zhang to join the army as Lijiang": "The flowing water obliquely invades the country, and the Hanfu residents are half mixed."

North Korea's "Renzu Record" "Zhu's brother was also arrested, and he never gave in. Zhang and Zhu didn't shave their heads. There is Changxing Temple outside the city. Zhang and Zhu are dressed in Hanfu and live in Siyun. "

The Qing Dynasty's "Overview of Chengdu" records: "Luo and Guo are two surnames, originally from Yunnan. Both of them are dressed in Hanfu, full of Beijing dialect and less rude. They are very polite to China officials ... and they all wear Hanfu. "

(Song Dynasty) Yu Jing: "The Khitan Official Instrument": "The official of the Hu people and the person who leads the secondary vocational school are all dressed in clothes, which is called the Khitan official. Tommy, the word minister, is called the secret of North Shu and the Prime Minister of North. Although Hu (Fan) is also in Hanfu, he is called a Han official. The ruler is the prime minister and secretary of the south. "

Record of the founder of the Qing Dynasty: Kong Wenyou, the former director of Hexi Road in Shaanxi Province, said: "Chen's parents' son, Duke Kong, has led the descendants of four families to report to the ancestral temple, all of which have been shaved according to the order. The sage is regarded as the master of ceremonies and the three great sages, Yan Zengmeng, with his wings rising. Don't be crowned as a gift giver. The seal of the sage is handed down from generation to generation as soon as it is sewn, which is the basis of the combination of Han and Ming. Although each system has its own advantages and disadvantages, the sole minister system has not changed for three thousand years. Once it is changed today, I am afraid that the emperor's code of respecting Confucianism and Taoism will be finished. Do you want to store your hair and restore your ancestors' clothes? " Only a saint can cut his hair to the top: "If you shave your hair strictly, there is no forgiveness for those who break the law. Confucius heard that he had broken an unforgivable rule and asked for hair storage. In order to avoid death, he missed the sage. When Confucius was a saint, it seemed that it was anti-institutional and had the way to destroy the foreign nationality. The dismissal, never Syria "

Is the concept of nation and national costume a modern product?

A: The concept of nationality and national costume is indeed a modern product. However, there is a difference between the time when the object itself first existed and the time when the concept was defined.

Asteroids are the only celestial bodies that can be nominated according to the wishes of the discoverers and approved by international organizations for international recognition.

But that doesn't mean the planet didn't exist before it was named. On the contrary, it has existed for hundreds of millions of years.

Similarly, in the history of China, ethnic groups and ethnic costumes also have a "distinction between Chinese and foreigners", which has roughly gone through three stages of evolution:

Blood-based stage, geographical stage, dress etiquette and other cultural stage, thus distinguishing China from other ethnic groups.
