Traditional Chinese Clothing : Hanfu /

[Princess]

love all traditional Asian dresses.

here is our traditional clothing:

Hanfu (simplified Chinese: 汉服; traditional Chinese: 漢&#26381 or Han Chinese Clothing, also sometimes known as Hanzhuang (漢&#35037, Huafu (華&#26381, and sometimes referred in English sources simply as Silk Robe[1] (especially those worn by the gentry) or Chinese Silk Robe refers to the historical dress of the Han Chinese people, which was worn for millennia before the conquest by the Manchus and the establishment of the Qing Dynasty in 1644. The term Hanfu derives from the Book of Han, which says, "then many came to the Court to pay homage and were delighted at the clothing style of the Han [Chinese]."

Hanfu is now worn during some festivals or coming of age/rite of passage ceremonies, by hobbyists or historical re-enactors, by Taoist, Confucian or Buddhist monks and priests during religious ceremonies, or as a cultural exercise. It is often seen in Chinese television serials, films and other forms of media entertainment. There is also a movement in China and some overseas Chinese communities to revive Han Chinese clothing in daily life and incorporate it into Chinese festivals or celebrations.

Hanfu is great, I always thought it looked WAY better than Cheongsam (Qipao).

"Hanfu" was not vanished during the Qing Dynasty.

Hanfu is the nationall clothing of chinese people. we should recover hanfu and wipe out qipao which is a symbol of colonialism

Well, maybe not wipe out the Qipao, but I don't want to see it every time I turn on the TV that's for sure.

Nothing against Manchus, since they are now Chinese people.

Qipao and "Hanfu" are both Chinese clothing, besides, modern Qipao is invented by Han Chinese.
And please remove the word colonialism, Chinese never "colony" Chinese, thank you.

With respect, Manchu WERE/ARE Chinese people.

In op's pictures the third from top seems a little bit different from the first one, is this also hanfu or the first one too??

I have seen the third dress in few Chinese movies only, particularly in my recent fav movie War of Arrows (don't know Chinese title).

The first type seems to be in Korean movies too or am i confusing??

Korean traditional clothing is actually copied from ancient Chinese clothing.

Korean traditional clothing is actually copied from ancient Chinese clothing.

The Japanese clothing (Kimono) is also derived from our Hanfu.

Kimono - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As the kimono has another name, gofuku (呉服?, literally "clothes of Wu (&#21555"), the earliest kimonos were heavily influenced by traditional Han Chinese clothing, known today as hanfu (漢服?, kanfuku in Japanese), through Japanese embassies to China which resulted in extensive Chinese culture adoptions by Japan, as early as the 5th century AD.[5] It was during the 8th century, however, that Chinese fashions came into style among the Japanese, and the overlapping collar became particularly women's fashion.[5] During Japan's Heian period (794–1192 AD), the kimono became increasingly stylized, though one still wore a half-apron, called a mo, over it.

Korean / Japanese clothing is basically developed from ancient Chinese clothing ( Hanfu of Tang Dynasty) ...

↑ there are many different Hanfu types for different occasions and purposes.
