Hanfu of each dynasty has its own characteristics in terms of style, color, accessories, etc. The following is a detailed introduction to the characteristics of Hanfu of each dynasty:
The popular shirts are loose and wide-sleeved, and the overall style of clothing is elegant and graceful.The colors are relatively elegant, mainly plain and light colors, such as white, light blue, light green, etc.
Streamers are often used as decoration to increase the elegance of clothing.
Women loved the chest-length skirt and high-waist skirt, which were brightly colored. Various colors such as red, purple, yellow, and green were widely used, showing a gorgeous style. Silk craftsmanship reached a very high level. There were many varieties of silk, such as damask, gauze, silk, and satin, with soft texture and good gloss.
Women wore a wide variety of accessories, including hairpins, hairpins, step-shaking ornaments, pearls, and jade, and would also wear shawls on their shoulders, which added to the elegance and gorgeousness of the clothes.
The clothing is mainly a large right-fronted cross-collar and a double-fronted one, with a skirt as the main style. The top is relatively short and the skirt is relatively long, usually tucked inside the skirt.
The colors are relatively elegant, mainly plain and light colors, giving people a sense of simplicity, cleanliness and elegance. The patterns and decorations are more concise and subtle.
The women’s hair buns are relatively simple, with relatively few accessories, mainly hairpins, earrings, bracelets, etc., which are mainly simple and exquisite.
Mainly including jackets, vests and skirts, the tops were generally not tucked into the skirts, and new style elements such as stand-up collars appeared. The colors were rich and varied, and both primary and secondary colors were widely used, such as red, yellow, blue, green, etc.
Women would wear various hairpins, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and other accessories with exquisite shapes. In addition, the xiapei was also popular, and its shape was as beautiful as colorful clouds.
Manchu and Han costumes coexisted (Manchu and ao qun), and the ao qun later became narrower in sleeves under the influence of Manchu. New styles such as waistcoats (waistcoats) appeared, and the Manchu gown was the prototype of the Republic of China cheongsam; women combed their hair into “two buns” and matched them with Manchu heads and flower-pot shoes.
Colors and materials were strictly distinguished according to status, with nobles using silk and fur, and commoners mainly using cotton cloth, and the embroidery craftsmanship was exquisite.
Men mostly wore Zhongshan suits and Western suits, while women’s jackets and skirts were simplified; the cheongsam was improved on the basis of the Manchu suit (with a waist and slits), becoming a representative women’s clothing. The clothing style was influenced by the West, with a more fitted cut and simplified accessories, reflecting the transition characteristics of the old and new cultures.
Hanfu elements are retained in wedding and funeral ceremonies and opera costumes (such as the phoenix crown and shawl, and the horse-faced skirt)
