1. What is Hanfu?
First of all, when many people see the word Hanfu for the first time, they will naturally think that Hanfu refers to the clothing of the Han Dynasty. In fact, this is wrong.
The full name of real Hanfu is actually: traditional clothing of the Han nation. That is to say, in addition to Han Dynasty, Zhou, Tang, Song, Ming and other styles are also part of Hanfu.
In fact, it is very difficult to understand Hanfu as a piece of clothing. However, if we deify Hanfu and sublimate it from a kind of clothing to a national symbol and a cultural carrier, it will be much easier to understand.
2. What is the meaning behind Hanfu?
In fact, historically speaking, Hanfu actually has gaps. And this biggest fault comes from the Qing Dynasty, which is closest to us. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, after the bannermen entered the customs, in order to stabilize their political power, they began to carry out cultural reforms and suppression of the Han people. In order to shave their hair and change their clothes, there were even three massacres in Yangzhou and Jiading. Of course, in terms of outcome, in the end, the Han people grew long braids and wore jackets and other clothing that were more suitable for horseback riding. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people had not had time to restore their own traditions, but they continued toEntering into the modern foreign culture brought by the West.
Even so, the vitality of culture is too strong and cannot be completely exhausted. The Manchu people have their own traditional clothing, the Dai people have their own traditional clothing, the Miao people have their own traditional clothing, and the Han people will naturally leave behind their own traditional clothing. However, culture is also a process of integration and change. There will be Hu style in Tang Dynasty clothes, Mongolian style in Ming Dynasty clothes, Han style in flag clothes, and Han style in Hanbok and kimono.
South Korea has Hanbok, Japan has Kimono, and China can also have Hanbok.
Our motherland is getting stronger and stronger. It has a history of five thousand years. In the entire process of great rejuvenation, Hanfu can be said to be the first as a dress. Mention againHanfu, in fact, what is really mentioned again is the reshaping of national self-confidence and the rejuvenation of culture. Clothing is just a carrier, it carries five thousand years of Chinese civilization.
The beauty of the clothes is called Hua, and the great etiquette is called Xia. If Hanfu is a kind of culture, then Hanfu itself does reflect this culture everywhere. For example, Hanfu focuses on the five elements and five colors. In fact, the corresponding elements include metal, wood, water, fire and earth, heaven and earth, gods and human beings, southeast, northwest, middle, green, red, white, black and yellow, etc. Hanfu pays attention to the upper and lower garments, which actually embodies the dark and yellow color of heaven and earth, which resembles the universe.
If, through a piece of clothing, one can understand the events of that year, read history to clarify one's aspirations, see through the essence in the repetition of history, eliminate the dross and extract the essence, then this piece of clothing will have its true meaning.
3. Why do more and more young people wear Hanfu?
The trend of Hanfu among young people did not happen overnight. It gradually developed as China became stronger. From the ancient Chinese TV series brought about by Nirvana in Fire, to the science fiction movie brought about Chinese culture by Wandering Earth, to the animation brought about Chinese mythology by Nezha, and even the national anthem choir of international students, all of them are talking about this film. The recognition of one’s roots in the land.
From niche circles, to staged performances, to wearing traditional costumes during traditional festivals, to Hanfu weddings and adult ceremonies, to taking beautiful photos in everyday parks. Hanfu seems to be getting closer to us.
Maybe one day, inadvertently, you will always see one or two people wearing Hanfu on the street, but no one will be surprised, because this is our own clothing.
