Hanfu is not the costume of the Han Dynasty. Hanfu is the traditional costume of the Han nation, also known as Han attire, Han costume, and Chinese costume. It was finalized in the Zhou Dynasty and passed down to the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, Hanfu does not just refer to the clothes of one dynasty.
Hanfu is divided into two types: formal clothes and regular clothes. Formal clothes refer to the clothes worn on important occasions such as sacrifices and weddings. They are dignified and elegant. Regular clothes are casual clothes worn in daily life.
