Hanfu shows the historical characteristics and cultural heritage of Han national costumes.

Hanfu, the full name is "the traditional costume of the Han nationality", also known as Hanfu, Huafu and Huafu. From the accession of the Yellow Emperor to the mid-Kloc-0/7th century (late Ming and early Qing Dynasty), in the main residential areas of the Han nationality, with the "Huaxia-Han" culture as the background and the Chinese etiquette culture as the core, through natural evolution, a unique Han personality was formed, which was obviously different from other nationalities. It is the embodiment of China's "country of clothes", "country of etiquette", "country of splendid china" and "country of Cyrus", bearing the excellent craftsmanship and aesthetics of the Han nationality, and inheriting more than 30 Chinese intangible cultural heritages and protected China arts and crafts.

Similar to the word "Han", the extension of the word "Han" in Hanfu has also expanded from the Han Dynasty to the whole national reference. For example, the earliest record of Hanfu in the manuscript of Mawangdui Tomb No.3: "There are four beauties in bamboo slips, two of whom are dressed in Chu clothes and two in Hanfu", which refers to the dress etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, that is, the crown clothing system of Zhou Li, Yi Li and Li Ji.

Hanfu "began in Huangdi and was prepared in Yaoshun", which originated from the coronation made by Huangdi. Stereotyped in the Zhou Dynasty, and after the Han Dynasty, based on the Four Books and Five Classics, it formed a complete robe and costume system and became a part of Shinto. Therefore, China's later dynasties lived in the Zhou Dynasty and the French and Han Dynasties, and it was a national event to inherit the mantle of the Han Dynasty, which led to the ambition of Yu Dafu in the Twenty-four History. "The Yellow Emperor and Yao Shun govern the world by hanging down their clothes, which benefits from Gan Kun", which means that the shape of the petticoat under their clothes is determined by God's will and sacred. Hanfu has also influenced the whole Chinese cultural circle through the Huaxia legal system, and some ethnic groups in Asian countries, such as Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Mongolia and Bhutan, have or learn from the characteristics of Hanfu.

According to some ancient books, the Han people (and their ancestors) have a unique clothing system. For example, according to historical records, "Hanfu was made by the Yellow Emperor" and "Before the Yellow Emperor, there was no clothing and no house. The Yellow Emperor built houses, made clothes and held funerals, so the people were spared the difficulties of survival. " Before there was no archaeological data to support it, Hanfu first appeared in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. About 5,000 years ago, during Yangshao Culture in Neolithic Age, primitive agriculture and textile industry appeared in China, and clothes were made of woven linen. Huang Di's wife, Ai Zu, invented sericulture and spinning, and people's clothes and costumes became more and more complete.

After the Shang Dynasty, the system of crown service was initially established, and in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the service system was gradually improved, forming a system of chapter service with the "emperor's crown service" as the core. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the styles of costumes were unprecedentedly rich, mainly deep clothes and Hu clothes. By the end of the Zhou Dynasty, due to the drastic changes in politics, economy, ideology and culture, especially the influence of a hundred schools of thought on the perfection of clothing, there began to be obvious differences in clothing and customs among the vassal States, resulting in deep clothing. The crown service system has been brought into the category of "rule by courtesy" and has become a manifestation of etiquette. Since then, China's clothing system has become more detailed. "The clothes in ancient times were deep clothes, and the clothes representing the characteristics of the times were also deep clothes. The depth of clothes can be the characteristic of ancient clothes. Those who are convinced by the old saying must arrive first. What is a coat? Confucius said in the Book of Rites: "Therefore, those who call it deep clothes should take the rest clothes, and the upper and lower parts are not connected. This kind of deep coat is connected with clothes, and the quilt is deep, so it is called deep coat. "In short, the system of deep clothes is the first of ancient costumes, and the collar of deep clothes has been popular for the longest time not only in its institutional form, but also at the upper and lower levels. At the same time, there are Hu clothes, which are generally composed of shorts, pants and boots. The clothes are tight and narrow, which is convenient for nomadic and hunting. In order to strengthen his army, King Wuling of Zhao adopted Khufu as a military uniform for the first time in the Central Plains. As a result, wearing Hu clothes became a common practice for a time. In addition, musicians wear hoods, dancers have sleeves several feet long, and hunters' clothes and trousers are mostly tightly tied. Some people often wear horns or magpies' tail crowns, long small sleeve dresses and so on.
