History of Hanfu

In a Chinese myth, it was Leizu, the concubine of Chinas first emperor Huangdi, that invented
Hanfu. Leizu mastered sericiculture and used silk to make clothes. In this way Hanfu was
produced. About 5,000 years ago in New Stone Age, people began to enjoy a comparatively
peaceful life and the primordial agriculture and textile industry came into being. They used flax to
make clothes. Later on silkworm rearing and silk spinning were mastered and they made full sets
of clothing. Hanfu was produced.
Dalam mitos Cina, itu Leizu, selir kaisar pertama Cina Huangdi, yang menemukan Hanfu.
Leizu menguasai sericiculture dan penggunaan sutra untuk membuat pakaian. Dengan cara
ini Hanfu diproduksi. Sekitar 5.000 tahun yang lalu di New Stone Age, orang-orang mulai
menikmati kehidupan yang relatif damai dan primordial industri pertanian dan tekstil muncul
menjadi ada. Mereka menggunakan rami untuk membuat pakaian. Kemudian ulat
pemeliharaan dan sutra berputar yang menguasai dan mereka membuat set penuh pakaian.
Hanfu diproduksi.

Introduction

Hanfu, also known as Hanzhuang or Huafu, refers to the traditional dress of Han Chinese people
before Qing dynasty. The term Hanfu derives from the Book of Han, which says, then he(Qu Li)
came to the Court many times to pay homage and was delighted at the clothing style of the Han.
Here Han refers to Han Dynasty, but as a matter of fact Hanfu includes not only clothing in Han
Dynasty but also in Shang, Zhou, Tang, Song and Ming.

The beauty of Hanfu lies not only in its appearance but also in that it plays a significant role in
Chinese proprieties. In ancient China, garments are used as decoration as well as a symbol of
position and situation. Namely, the officials wear differently when they are on the Court and when
they are at home; scholar-bureaucrats wear differently with common people; clothing on different
rituals such as fetes or rituals diversify; even at different ages people wear different clothing. A
man old can start wearing fur coat and silk only after he is above 20 years.
Hanfu, juga dikenal sebagai Han Zhuang atau Hanfu, merujuk pada pakaian tradisional Han
orang Cina sebelum Dinasti Qing. Istilah Hanfu berasal dari Kitab Han, yang mengatakan,
"maka dia (Qu Li) datang ke Pengadilan berkali-kali untuk memberi penghormatan dan
senang pada gaya pakaian dari Han. "Di sini Han mengacu pada Dinasti Han, tetapi sebagai
Sebenarnya Hanfu meliputi tidak hanya pakaian di Han Dinasti tetapi juga di Shang, Zhou,
Tang, Lagu dan Ming.

Keindahan Hanfu tidak hanya terletak pada penampilan, tetapi juga dalam hal itu memainkan
peran penting dalam sifat Cina. Di Cina kuno, pakaian yang digunakan sebagai hiasan serta
simbol posisi dan situasi. Yakni, para pejabat pakai berbeda ketika mereka berada di
Pengadilan dan ketika mereka berada di rumah; sarjana-birokrat pakai berbeda dengan orang-
orang biasa; pakaian di ritual yang berbeda seperti fetes atau ritual diversifikasi; bahkan pada
usia yang berbeda orang memakai pakaian yang berbeda. Seorang pria tua dapat mulai
mengenakan mantel bulu dan sutra hanya setelah ia berada di atas 20 tahun.

Currentlythere is a Hanfu Movement in China. It may have begun around 2003 when a man
called Wang Letian from Zhengzhou, China, wore Hanfu in public. Hanfu revivalists believe that
Han Chinese clothing should revive in daily life and especially in Chinese festivals or
celebrations.
Hanfu refers to the traditional clothing of the Hans before the end of Ming dynasty. The garments
of Qing dynasty is not included in Hanfu, because they come from Manchu dressing. Although
Chinese man also wear them, they do not belong to Hanfu. Besides, popular Tang Suit,
cheongsam and Chinese jacket are not traditional Chinese clothing therefore they cannot be
called Hanfu. They are adapted from Manchu clothing.

Saat ini, ada Gerakan Hanfu di Cina. Ini mungkin telah dimulai sekitar tahun 2003 ketika
seorang pria bernama Wang Letian dari Zhengzhou, China, mengenakan Hanfu di depan
umum. Hanfu revivalis percaya bahwa Han Cina pakaian harus menghidupkan kembali
kehidupan sehari-hari dan terutama di festival atau perayaan Cina.

Hanfu mengacu pada pakaian tradisional dari Hans sebelum akhir Dinasti Ming. Pakaian dari
Dinasti Qing tidak termasuk dalam Hanfu, karena mereka berasal dari Manchu ganti.
Meskipun pria Cina juga memakainya, mereka bukan milik Hanfu. Selain itu, populer Tang
Suit, cheongsam dan jaket Cina tidak pakaian tradisional Cina karena itu mereka tidak bisa
disebut Hanfu. Mereka diadaptasi dari pakaian Manchu.

Culture in Hanfu
Obviously to ancient Chinese, garments are not only something to cover the body with, but also
the embodiment of civilization. Clothing has evolved to be an essential part of the etiquette
system. Therefore it is concernful for us to know what a set of Hanfu include and how to dress
Hanfu.
Hanfu is characterized by a crossing collar, right lapel and a waistband. It gives people the
impression of freedom and easiness.A complete Hanfu garment is assembled from several
pieces of clothing into an attire:

Yi (): Any open cross-collar garment, and worn by both sexes

Pao (): Any closed full-body garment, worn only by men in Hanfu
Ru (): Open cross-collar shirt
Shan (): Open cross-collar shirt or jacket that is worn over the yi
Qun () or chang (): Skirt for women and men Ku (): Trousers or pants

There are two parts overlapping on the front. This is called Jiao Ling (Crossing Collar), which is
a main feature of nearly all Asian costumes. The order of the two parts is quite important. From
the wearers point of view, the crossing is always on his/her right side, which is called You Ren
(Right Front). Therefore an easy way to recognize Hanfu is that its collar forms a y shape if you
look at the dress from the front.
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.
