1, overall style difference
The overall route is different. The whole line of Hanfu is a curve. Although some styles of Hanfu are square after being unfolded, they are very smooth curves after being worn on the body, and there is no dull feeling, so the whole person looks graceful and slim. The lines of kimono are straight, and they all look square when unfolded. Wearing them, the whole person is stiff, looks stiff, and the kimono is as wide as the top and bottom, which makes it look bloated.
2. The neckline and cuffs are different.
The neckline and cuffs are different. Hanfu's sleeves and neckline are patterned, and the skirts and clothes used are different in color, which feels very layered. The sleeves just cover the wrists, so that the wrists will not be exposed in daily life, which makes them look atmospheric. Although the neckline of kimono also has a skirt, it is the same color as the clothes, and there is no layering on the whole. The clothes look brighter, and the sleeves of the kimono are square, the length of the sleeves is shorter, and the cuffs of the kimono are stitched, but there is an opening at the back of the sleeves of Hanfu.
3, hem belt difference
The hem belt is different. Hanfu's hem is very wide, so it can be said that as long as there is enough cloth, there is no restriction on activities. Moreover, when we buy Hanfu, we often see eight-meter pendulum and six-meter pendulum, which shows that Hanfu's skirt is very big. However, the hem of kimono can't be done, and it is often narrow, so the activity will be limited and affected to some extent, so we can only take small steps. Hanfu's belt is tied around the waist, basically tied in front or hanging down; But the kimono belt is tied at the back, because their belt is wide and thick, and the knot is big, so we can see that their backs are bulging, like carrying schoolbags.
4. Different fabric patterns
Fabrics, patterns and accessories are all different. The fabric used in Hanfu is light and elegant, and the fabric of kimono is plain. In addition, their clothes are colorful, the overall appearance is heavy and the pace is narrow, so the sleeves and hem of kimono are narrow; The patterns on Hanfu are evenly distributed and the colors are elegant. The pattern of kimono has Japanese national characteristics, and chrysanthemum crane and cherry blossom are one of the most important patterns of kimono. Hanfu is rich in accessories, such as Yu Pei, sachets and Chinese knots. Generally, they are tied to the waist, while kimono has few accessories, and there are basically no accessories on the belt.
Second, is kimono evolved from Hanfu?
Kimono is also called "Wufu" in Japanese, which means Wudi from ancient China. In Nara, Japan, China was in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, so at that time, Japan sent many envoys to China to learn about our culture and art in order to promote exchanges between the two countries. At that time, they also imitated our various cultural systems. Clothing was originally a copy of Hanfu, and later kimono coat was also called "Tang suit". Although their costumes developed from Hanfu, they have formed their own national characteristics after a long historical period and years of baptism. After the Edo era, women's belts gradually became wider and thicker, and gradually moved to the lower back, developing various styles, which is also an important symbol of our difference between kimono and Hanfu.
1, China's culture is extensive and profound, which has a great influence on Japan.
China has a profound culture, which occupies a high position in ancient society and has always been in the leading position in Asian civilization. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, China began to enter the feudal era. Japan, which faces us across the sea, began to enter the slave society at this time. Because of the traffic jam, Japan didn't have its own writing and clothing at that time. According to records, until the Southern and Northern Dynasties, ordinary Japanese wore simple hemp fibers. In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Japan sent envoys to pay tribute, and Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, conferred the title of King Hanbono as the leader of Japan and gave him a golden seal. In modern history, this golden seal was rediscovered and remains one of Japan's national treasures. At that time, there were not many exchanges between Japan and the Central Plains Dynasty. Entering the Three Kingdoms era, relying on its own maritime advantages, the Soochow regime began to conduct maritime trade with neighboring countries. From then on, China's Hanfu was introduced to Japan, where it was called Wufu.
At that time, only Japanese nobles wore military clothes, and ordinary people remained the same. This situation continued until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when both Japan and the Tang Dynasty intervened in the war between Koguryo and Silla, and the Japanese army ended in a fiasco. After a crushing defeat, Japan began to put down its airs and sent a large number of envoys and monks studying abroad to the Tang Dynasty. China culture has a great influence and edification on Japan, and some Japanese literati who have lived in the Tang Dynasty for a long time can also write wonderful poems like the Tang Dynasty. In 7 15 AD, Kibi No Asomi Makibi, a Japanese aristocrat, came to study in the Tang Dynasty and lived there for 20 years. In 735, Kibi No Asomi Makibi returned to Japan with various styles of Tang Dynasty costumes. Under the influence of Kibi No Asomi Makibi, other Japanese aristocrats also put on costumes of the Tang Dynasty, which were called Tang costumes. With the popularity of clothing, ordinary Japanese also have simplified clothing, which is not as luxurious and bright as aristocratic clothing.
2. In Japanese kimono, there are differences between Wu clothing and Tang clothing.
There are various forms of Hanfu in China. Hanfu changed a lot during the Three Kingdoms period and the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Because Japan has two periods of clothing at the same time, but the clothing span is very large. Therefore, the Japanese call it Five Blessingg and Tang Fu. Now all kinds of Japanese shops selling kimonos will be marked as Five Blessingg shops or Tang Fu shops. The common kimonos in Japan are basically Wu clothes, while Japanese nobles like to wear Tang clothes. For example, the costumes of Japanese royal family members attending the sacrificial ceremony are very similar to the round neck robes in Hanfu. With the improvement of Japanese education level, Japan's attitude towards the Central Plains Dynasty has also changed. During the Song Dynasty, Japan already felt that it could look down on the Central Plains Dynasty. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Japanese even called themselves Little China.
After Hanfu was introduced into Japan, the Japanese constantly improved Hanfu according to their own environmental characteristics and living habits. First of all, there are some differences between kimono and Hanfu. Hanfu is basically parallel to clothes, but kimono needs to be exposed outside clothes. There are also differences between Hanfu collar and kimono collar. Japanese style has a collar, but Hanfu collar does not. The sleeves of China Hanfu are divided into wide sleeves and narrow sleeves. Sleeves were sealed in Qin and Han Dynasties, but after Sui and Tang Dynasties, China Hanfu basically stopped sealing sleeves. Compared with China Hanfu, Japanese kimonos are mostly sealed, which is a big difference. Kimono's sleeves are basically square sleeves, while China Hanfu's are round sleeves, and there are few square sleeves. Finally, the accessories are different. China Hanfu will be decorated with colorful ribbons, silks, ribbons, rings, peach symbols and other items. On Japanese kimonos, similar decorations rarely appear.
Japanese kimono is a derivative of China Hanfu.
Although there are some differences between Japanese kimono and China Hanfu, there is little difference in shape on the whole. Kimono is a derivative of Hanfu. After entering the modern society, Japan was invaded by western powers, and then began the very famous Meiji Restoration Movement. At that time, there was a great controversy about the future of kimono. Finally, the attitude of Japanese high-level officials is to keep kimonos and start learning western suits. At present, in normal life, the Japanese are still all kinds of common clothes. However, Japanese people will wear their own kimonos at adult ceremony, memorial ceremony, wedding ceremony, Spring Festival and other ceremonies.
The influence of China culture on Japan is not only reflected in clothing, writing, architecture, customs and habits. All aspects of Japan have the shadow of the Central Plains Dynasty.
