Collection: Hanfu

Hanfu, means "Han clothing" literally, it's not the name of a specific style of clothing, but a general term for traditional Chinese clothing that ancient Han Chinese wore before Qing Dynasty. Hanfu has different styles, such as ruqun, aoqun, shenyi and shanku. But in general, traditional Hanfu consists of a robe/dress or a jacket as upper garment and a skirt as lower garment.

• Upper garment
  On the contrary of modern times, ancient Han Chinese people prefer to wear a robe/dress as the upper garment. The robe/dress could be a knee length one or even a floor length one. For the convenience of daily work&life, Han Chinese also wear the shorter robe/dress, or in the word of modern times, a long jacket. The upper garments of Hanfu, both robes and jackets, always follow the style and principle named "jiaoling youren" in Chinese. "Jiaoling" means the crossing collar, and "Youren" means the left side covering the right side and extend to the wearer's right waist. So, "jiaoling youren" means if the collar is crossing, then you can only have the left side covered the right side and never do the opposite.
• Lower garment
  Han Chinese people, no matter a man or a woman, wear a skirt as the lower garment. Similarly with the upper garment, they also wear trousers/pants for convenience.
• Inner garment
  Inner garment of Hanfu has a name of "zhongyi". It consist of shirt and pants, mostly in white color. Ancient Chinese people wear zhongyi even when they are sleeping, it plays a role of pajamas in modern times.
• Under garment
  Just like modern people wear underwear, ancient Chinese also wear dudou and underpants beneath zhongyi.

Hanfu served as the most characteristic clothing for the Han Chinese for more than 3000 years and faded away after Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, an "Hanfu Revival Movement" is growing up in China in recent years. More and more people take Hanfu as daily outfits, wear it and go through the streets in the city.
