During the flower-viewing season, “Hanfu” has become the most eye-catching scenery in major parks and scenic spots.
With the increasing number of Hanfu enthusiasts, Hanfu has become one of the most discussed costumes every spring. Photos of girls wearing Hanfu during flower viewing and outings always receive a lot of praise and likes on social platforms. Thumbs up.
However, in the past two days, a hot search about Hanfu on Weibo has made netizens quarrel.
"Hanfu Fairy Clothes"? ? Another "fairy server" appeared overnight. What is a "fairy server"?
Here we first understand the concept of Hanfu. Hanfu does not refer to the clothing of the Han Dynasty, but to the traditional clothing of the Han nation. From the legendary Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period to the Ming Dynasty, the clothing worn by the Han people for thousands of years was called "Chinese clothing" and in modern times is called "Hanfu".
Based on the basic shapes, Hanfu can be divided into the following types: "top and lower skirt" system, "deep clothing" system, and "skirt" system. Most of the formal Hanfu are restored and made based on the shapes of clothing found in unearthed cultural relics.

As for fairy clothes, in a nutshell, they are ancient styles or improved Hanfu. They have Chinese elements but do not meet the requirements of Hanfu shape. They are ancient costumes that have been processed by modern art. Both clothing and film and television clothing belong to this category.
Many "insiders" believe that Hanfu needs to strictly follow the shapes of unearthed cultural relics. These people call themselves the "Shape Party", while others call them the "Ancient Tomb School".

Compared with Hanfu's "realistic" style, fairy clothes are more inclined to the "fairy spirit" and the pursuit of beauty in film and television.

The concepts of "Hanfu" and "Fairy Clothing" have gradually become differentiated and opposed. Some people jokingly call the two an ancient tomb sect and a fairy sect. Even recently It became a hot search topic due to
"Hanfu Fairy Service Separation"
.The so-called family separation ceremony is when a blogger with the Weibo ID "Shuo Ge Xianfu" posted a post on April 8 about "setting up his own business":
Shape is the bottom line of Hanfu
Fairy clothes obviously do not meet the requirements of Hanfu shape, but for a long time, because of the label of Hanfu, they have been required to be an "improvement" of traditional clothing, and have not been There can be good development without constant controversy. Now I want toexplore the possibility of the fairy server developing on its own
.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ensuing "Controversy over Hanfu and Immortal Clothes" became more and more intense.
The expelled "Xianfu" party members and the people who eat melons are still confused.
Many people in the "Hanfu circle" express support, believing that strict distinction is more conducive to respecting tradition, and there is no need to "disdain" each other, and "the immortals and Han Dynasties bloom".
Netizen @古明衣冠:
Let Hanfu belong to the tradition and the nation, and let Tongpao carry out the reconstruction and promotion of traditional national costumes with a rigorous attitude;
Let the fairy clothes be attributed to their beauty and detachment, just as a beautiful dress, grow freely according to the current two-dimensional and ancient style direction, no longer subject to the annoying constraints of the rules and regulations in the circle
, it is a relief for each other .
Some people say that there is really no need to separate the family. Hanfu does not have to completely follow the ancient system. The revival of traditional culture should allow improvement and innovation.
What are we talking about when we debate Hanfu?
Hanfu is not just a piece of clothing, it incorporates national aesthetic tastes, etiquette and customs, the expression of color concepts, the use of auspicious patterns, and the update of materials and craftsmanship, all of which are permeated with the thousands of years of Chinese heritage. The beauty of humanity.

"Zuo Zhuan: The Tenth Year of Dinggong" says: "China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has the beauty of Zhangfu, so it is called Hua." It is precisely because of the existence of Hanfu that China has been known as "a land of dress and etiquette" since ancient times.
In fact, Hanfu has only entered the public eye in modern society for more than ten years.
On November 22, 2003, Wang Letian, a 34-year-old electrician, took to the streets of Zhengzhou wearing a Hanfu consisting of a thin velvet dark coat and a cocoon silk coat, and expressed his opinion to Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao 》 stated that this move is to promote Hanfu. Since then, many people have begun to learn about Hanfu, wear Hanfu, and join the revival of Hanfu culture.
From 2003 to 2019, the revival of Hanfu first started with the private sector, and then gradually gained official support step by step. Many "comrades" first wore Hanfu to various public events such as sacrificial ceremonies and adult ceremonies. Hanfu associations have also sprung up in various places. With activities such as the Flower Festival, Huafu Day, and Chinese Studies Fever, they have attracted a large number of Hanfu enthusiasts.

However, the debate has not stopped since the revival of Hanfu.
The research on the shape of Hanfu within the Hanfu circle is still in progress. Many people have completely different views on the shape, layout, production and matching of Hanfu.
For example, someone posted on the Hanfu Post Bar that although the chest-length skirt was once one of the mainstream styles of Hanfu women's clothing and appeared in paintings and pottery figurines, there were no relevant unearthed cultural relics. After searching through historical materials, The term "chest-length skirt" has never appeared and should not be regarded as a Hanfu style.

In the comment area of Weibo related to the "China Chinese Clothing Day" show released on April 7 by @中国华衣日, many "shape parties" said that many of the clothes in the show were actually "Han element fashion" or Studio outfit.
Faced with passers-by who confuse Hanfu with other clothing, or those who choose to wear Hanfu with their hair down or wearing sneakers that do not follow the ancient customs, many "shape party" people will react violently, post bars, WeChat On social platforms such as Bo and Douban, two groups with different stances often argue over this issue.
The ancient clothing system is complex, and Hanfu culture is still relatively niche. What is Hanfu? What are the etiquette for wearing Hanfu? Different Hanfu societies are arguing endlessly, and it is difficult to have unified norms and standards so far.
The essence of this "Hanfu Fairy Clothes Controversy" is also a concentrated outbreak of endless disputes over different views on the concept of Hanfu.
Hanfu needs to have relatively clear standards, otherwise it will make it more difficult for the public to understand Hanfu. But on the other hand, overly strict requirements for Hanfu to follow the ancient system may also raise the threshold for passers-by to understand Hanfu.
