The full name of Hanfu is "the traditional costume of the Han nationality", and some people call it Hanfu, Huafu and Hanfu. It is a national costume developed by the Han nationality with Chinese etiquette culture as its connotation from the Huangdi period to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
It is the embodiment of China's "clothes serve the country", "country of etiquette" and "splendid china", bearing the excellent craftsmanship and aesthetics of the Han nationality, inheriting more than 30 intangible cultural heritages of China and protecting the arts and crafts of China.
According to some ancient books, the Han people (and their ancestors) have a unique clothing system. For example, according to historical records, "Hanfu was made by the Yellow Emperor" and "Before the Yellow Emperor, there was no clothing and no house. The Yellow Emperor built houses, made clothes and held funerals, so the people were spared the difficulties of survival. " Before there was no archaeological data to support it, Hanfu first appeared in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
About 5,000 years ago, during Yangshao Culture in Neolithic Age, primitive agriculture and textile industry appeared in China, and clothes were made of woven linen. Huang Di's wife, Ai Zu, invented sericulture and spinning, and people's clothes and costumes became more and more complete.
