1. "Clothing" to carry the Tao - Research on the cultural connotation of Hanfu and its impact on Japanese traditional clothing As a part of Chinese culture, Hanfu culture runs through the long history of Chinese traditional culture. After thousands of years of ups and downs, it has finally become one of the splendid founders of Chinese culture. Hanfu not only represents the spiritual sustenance and best wishes of the ancients, but also reflects the epitome of the cultural development of the Chinese nation. By understanding it, we can more clearly understand the profound impact of Chinese traditional culture on our nation and other countries. By exploring the development history of Hanfu, we can not only discover the unique spiritual connotation of Hanfu and promote Hanfu culture, but also regain our former national pride and self-confidence. At the same time, we can innovate in inheritance and re-embody our own national greatness and openness to all rivers. And inject national soul into modern clothing design, improve the cultural connotation of modern clothing, and create spiritual clothing belonging to the Chinese people. Japan has had an extraordinary relationship with our country since ancient times. It dates back to the time of Qin Shihuang, when Xu Fu traveled to Japan to find the elixir for Ying Zheng, and the prosperity and openness of the Tang Dynasty attracted countries from all over the world to come to visit. For example, Japan has a unique love for Hanfu. The Japanese kimono absorbed the styles and techniques of traditional Chinese Hanfu, and integrated the characteristics of the nation to become Japan's traditional clothing. 1. The Origin and Development of Hanfu 1. From the Huangdi Period to the Zhou Dynasty Hanfu can be traced back to the Huangdi Period. Its early prototype was Chinese clothing. It is recorded in "Historical Records. The Chronicles of the Yellow Emperor": "Before the Yellow Emperor, there were no clothes or houses. And the Yellow Emperor Building houses, making clothes, and conducting funerals, all people can avoid the difficulties of survival. "Chinese clothes began in the Huangdi period and gradually developed through the Xia, Shang, and Zhou Dynasties. The Zhou Dynasty was a turning point because it was basically perfected at that time. The crown service system. Hanfu has experienced thousands of years of inheritance and development, and has had a profound impact on later Chinese people and even at home and abroad. Among them, Japanese kimono is particularly prominent. 2. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, after Qin Shihuang unified the world, he abolished some of the red tape in the Zhou Dynasty costumes, and only retained some of the costumes for sacrifices. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, people's clothes were simple in color and simple in style, and the color was often white. The reason why it was white was because people at that time believed that white meant the absence of any color, and white clothes meant that they had no social status. This not only reflects the strict hierarchical order in ancient times, but also reflects the strictness of the feudal dynasty system. 3. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Hanfu clothing styles can be said to be “diversified and regionally integrated”. Although the costumes of the Wei and Jin Dynasties still retained the basic forms of the Han Dynasty, they had their own unique local characteristics in terms of style and characteristics. The costumes of the Southern and Northern Dynasties showed a general trend of mutual learning and gradual integration among various ethnic groups. During this period, it was stipulated that the imperial court should wear red, and the common people should wear purple. White was still the color worn by common people. The clothing styles of the Southern Dynasties were affected by the war, and the basic changes were little compared to those of the Northern Dynasties. 4. Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Song Dynasty clothing inherited the previous system of distinguishing status by color, and round-neck robes were still the dominant style. Also because of the influence of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, coupled with social turmoil, and the influence of various factors, it is characterized by simplicity and implicitness. The skirts of the Yuan Dynasty are basically the same as those of the Song Dynasty. They are also influenced by the Mongolian people and are darker in color. Long clothes in the Yuan Dynasty were called robes, but the rarity of the materials used also reflected differences in status. The Ming Dynasty changed the customs of the Yuan Dynasty and made more designs in styles and details. 5 Qing Dynasty The Qing Dynasty was a low point in the development of Hanfu culture. Because of national cultural issues, the rulers resisted the people's cultural identity and boycotted Hanfu in order to consolidate their dominance. This also led to the Hanfu in this period being There is no development and innovation. Moreover, since the rulers were ethnic minorities, some measures were adopted that were very different from the original system. For example, hair shaving is mandatory and clothing restrictions are imposed. Also because of the implementation of these measures, Chinese people in modern times have a weak sense of belonging to Hanfu. 2. The inner culture of Hanfu. Our ancient traditional culture emphasizes the "harmony of nature and man". This ideological concept and ideal pursuit are also reflected in the design of Hanfu. The idea of ??"harmony between man and nature" is mostly reflected in the details of the design of Hanfu. Like Hanfu, the cuffs are generally wide, symbolizing the harmony of heaven and the way of nature. The ideal pursuit of "harmony between man and nature" is mostly reflected in the colors. Choices such as Shen Yi reflect the lofty virtues of fairness, justice and tolerance. Next, let’s talk in detail about the cultural inheritance in Hanfu: Traditional Chinese aesthetics has a very unique and extreme emphasis on color. The representative one is the use of Yin Yang and Five Elements. The Five Elements are the core content of Chinese metaphysics. The types of Hanfu colors correspond to the Five Elements. The balance of the Five Elements is the distinguishing feature of a good Hanfu. Hanfu culture is not only a clothing culture, but also a etiquette culture. It is specifically reflected in the ancient hierarchical order and the orderly thinking of all things. In ancient times, the emphasis on etiquette began to gradually shift from content to form. For example, the etiquette of the Zhou rites was divided into five rites and eight outlines. During the celebration of each rite, one must wear the corresponding style of clothing. If there is any mistake, it will be a serious crime. . The design of Hanfu also reflects the development of traditional Chinese culture. Generally speaking, Hanfu is evaluated from these aspects: structure, color, collar and pleats, ropes and knots, upper and lower skirts, sleeves and robes. In the evolution of the past dynasties, these points promote each other and reflect the changes and development of the connotation of Chinese traditional culture. 1. The majestic and magnificent structure. The structure of Hanfu is spacious, comfortable, dignified and elegant, which reflects the carefreeness and carefreeness of the ancients. When it comes to the tailoring of fabrics, we pay attention to one step, and the cutting is simple and saves fabrics to reflect the gentleman's frugality and self-cultivation. The right lapel is to cover the right side with the left side. The reason for doing this is the theory of yin and yang. Yin cannot overpower yang. Yang must keep yang over yin, so as to balance the yin and yang. The right-angled design of the collar also represents the ancient people's idea of ??integrity. Use this design to remind yourself of your integrity. 2 Comply with the beauty of nature. The colors of Hanfu are complex, including light, gorgeous, and sad. This is due to the emotions corresponding to the four seasons and the contrast with nature. It is said that in the Han Dynasty, people paid attention to dressing according to the seasons and chose Hanfu of corresponding colors and styles. This is what the saying "flowers bloom in four seasons and clothes are worn in four seasons" means. In addition, the ancients believed that the color of the sky when it was bright was black, and the earth was yellow, which reflected one's dignity and stability. Therefore, the ancients particularly loved and respected Xuanyi and Huangshang. 3. The collar gusset that represents etiquette, "turn the collar to the right gusset" refers to the front of the clothes being folded to the left and right. In ancient times, people often used left and right to indicate respect and inferiority. It was often said that a house faced north and faced south, and the same was true for the position of men and women "left is superior and right is inferior", but the collar is just the opposite, highlighting the strictness of the hierarchical order. 4. The strong and soft rope knots are among the ancient decorations. We have to talk about the thin rope knots of Hanfu, and this is the most easily overlooked point in Hanfu. Hanfu is made of the same materials as clothing, which not only keeps it intact, but also plays a fixed role. It allows Hanfu to maintain its integrity while showing its simple but not simple style. 5. The upper garment and lower garment of the Way of Heaven and Earth. The garment refers to the "upper garment and lower garment" in Hanfu. Most upper garments use the color of the morning sky, which is black, to represent the sky, while most lower garments use the color of the earth, that is, yellow to represent the earth. There is heaven and earth, and the whole is harmonious. This also reflects the ancients' pursuit of natural harmony and the "unity of nature and man". 6 Smart and elegant robes with large sleeves and loose belts, smooth and elegant, emphasizing spirit over form, and focusing on the heart but away from the world. The Eastern aesthetic styles are all permeated in the wide robes and large sleeves of Hanfu. "The Book of Changes" records: "Qian is the sky." "Kun is the earth", in Hanfu we can see the thinking and efforts of the ancients, and the details inside reflect the lofty thoughts and noble qualities of the ancients. The influence of Sanhanfu on traditional Japanese clothing. "Nihon Shoki" mentioned that Wufu was the name of kimono before the Edo period, and "shumono" is the collective name for Japanese clothing. Therefore, the ancient Japanese "Wufu" is actually a kind of "clothing". In addition to Wufu, the clothing also includes many other traditional Japanese costumes. These costume cultures blended with each other, changed and developed, and gradually formed traditional costumes with Japanese characteristics. With the exchanges between China and Japan, whether due to political strength or differences in clothing culture, Japan favored Hanfu and began to imitate the Hanfu style of the Tang Dynasty. In Japan, we can see many signs of the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Because of the opening up and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese yearned for the greatness of the Tang Dynasty and began to learn from the excellence of the Tang Dynasty. Hanfu is the most popular among Japanese people. Therefore, Japanese clothing drew on the advantages and characteristics of Hanfu, and Hanfu spread rapidly in Japan. Because kimono is continuously developed from Hanfu as reference elements, Hanfu and kimono do have some similarities, but China and Japan have great differences in national character, especially during the Tang Dynasty when Hanfu entered Japan. : The romance and elegance of the Tang Dynasty gave Hanfu an overall free and easy style; the Japanese nation upholds a restrained and low-key concept of involvement, and integrates this concept into the kimono to give it a sense of stability and dignity as a whole. There are many types of kimono. The hand-painted patterns on the kimono include spring plums, summer irises, autumn maple leaves and winter cypresses. At the same time, we can see that the kimono patterns are also affected by Japan's geographical environment, and this is the harmonious development of nature and people that our country emphasizes, so their clothing also shows respect for nature. Conclusion: According to their own conditions, the Japanese combine the best features of various ethnic groups to make the kimono have the unique characteristics of their own nation. It shines brightly in the world of national costumes and is the eye-catching symbol of the Japanese nation. Today, China's Hanfu culture is still slowly recovering and developing, but in Japan, kimono has always been an important national costume. Kimono can be seen in Japanese celebrations. In China, people generally choose to wear suits and other clothing to participate in various activities. It is undeniable that this is a reflection of our advanced learning from the West, but I think inheriting our own traditional culture is the most essential part of a nation. We should develop our own national costumes from Hanfu, of which Hanfu is a prominent representative. Doesn’t Hanfu express the magnanimity of a gentleman better than a suit? Isn’t it better than a suit to show our own national self-confidence? Hanfu culture not only represents the lofty spiritual qualities of ancient Chinese people, but also embodies the unique elegance and poetry of the Chinese nation. The research and development of Hanfu is also the continuation and development of the national culture. Chinese culture has a long history and has gone through five thousand years of ups and downs. Excellent traditional culture needs us to inherit and develop. In today's era, we should show our own national self-confidence and find our own national soul from our own nation. Wearing our own national costumes will make us more confident and proud. In this way, why worry that Hanfu cannot be in the world of clothing? Show its splendor. References: "Historical Records.
