Prior  to the Manchu occupation, Chinese wore the traditio<em><\/em>nal Han Chinese  clothing, which was banned during Manchurian&#8217; s rule of China.  Gradually, Han Chinese clothing disappeared and the qipao became the  ico<em><\/em>nic Chinese traditio<em><\/em>nal clothing.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays Hanfu are o<em><\/em>nly seen in performances or during certain  festive occasions, but during the last decade, there has been a movement  in China to revive traditio<em><\/em>nal Han Chinese clothing and reintroduce it  to modern life.<\/p>\n<p>Its distinguished features include long and loose sleeves and crossed  collars, with the lapel on the right. It is often bound by belts around  the waist. Cultural China breaks down the pieces of a typical Hanfu:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Yi (\u8863): Any open cross-collar garment, and worn by both sexes <\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Pao (\u888d): Any closed full-body garment, worn o<em><\/em>nly by men in Hanfu <\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Ru (\u8966): Open cross-collar shirt <\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Shan (\u886b): Open cross-collar shirt or jacket that is worn over the yi <\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Qun (\u88d9) or chang (\u88f3): Skirt for women and men Ku (\u88e4): Trousers or pants<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191121_5dd576a782a6e.jpg\" alt=\"\u6c49\u670d Han Chinese Costume\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are two parts overlapping on the front. This is called &lsquo;Jiao  Ling&rsquo; (Crossing Collar), which is a main feature of nearly all Asian  costumes. The order of the two parts is quite im<em><\/em>portant. From the  wearer&rsquo;s point of view, the crossing is always on his\/her right side,  which is called &lsquo;You Ren&rsquo; (Right Front). Therefore an easy way to  recognize Hanfu is that its collar forms a &lsquo;y&rsquo; shape if you look at the  dress from the front.<br \/>  &nbsp;<br \/>  Hanfu usually has a waistband, on which  various little decorations are hung, including Yu (jade) and Chinese  knots. These hung decorations, together with the long ribbons and  relatively wide sleeves, can sway as one walks. Its idea is to cover up  any imperfections and to accentuate the bodily beauty of an East Asian  woman.<\/p>\n<p>There are three basic makes of hanfu, \u8863\u88f3\u5236, \u6df1\u8863\u5236, and \u957f\u886b\u5236.<br \/>  &nbsp;<br \/>  <strong>1. \u8863\u88f3\u5236 (y\u012bshang zh&igrave;),<\/strong> is separated into a top and a bottom piece of clothing.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191121_5dd576a8be58f.jpg\" alt=\"\u6c49\u670d Han Chinese Costume\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">For Males<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191121_5dd576aa96229.jpg\" alt=\"\u6c49\u670d Han Chinese Costume\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">or Females, \u8966\u88d9 r&uacute; q&uacute;n<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>2. \u6df1\u8863\u5236 (sh\u0113n y\u012b zh&igrave;),<\/strong> wher the top and bottom are sewn together into a whole piece.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191121_5dd576ac714d6.jpg\" alt=\"\u6c49\u670d Han Chinese Costume\" \/><\/p>\n<p>  <strong>3. \u957f\u886b\u5236 (ch&aacute;ngsh\u0101n zh&igrave;),<\/strong> wher the top is extended into a long shirt.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191121_5dd576b0aa59f.jpg\" alt=\"\u6c49\u670d Han Chinese Costume\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u76f4\u8eab zh&iacute; sh\u0113n (male)<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191121_5dd576b1c007c.jpg\" alt=\"\u6c49\u670d Han Chinese Costume\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u8919\u5b50 b&egrave;i zi (female)<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191121_5dd576b367ac7.jpg\" alt=\"\u6c49\u670d Han Chinese Costume\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u62ab\u98ce p\u012bf\u0113ng (female)<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191121_5dd576b4db133.jpg\" alt=\"\u6c49\u670d Han Chinese Costume\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u5706\u9886 yu&aacute;n l\u01d0ng (male)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-4090114498\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portrait photos of a five-year-old girl in Han Chinese costume (\u6c49\u670d h&agrave;n f&uacute;)  hit the Internet recently.
