Although the concept of Hanfu jumped into people's eyes only this year, it has existed since ancient times. Bamboo slips of the Western Han Dynasty: "Jane 44' Four beauties, two wearing Chu and two wearing Hanfu'" Turn to "The Big Qing Banknote": "The golden destiny has its own providence, and Taizong banned people from Hanfu, making people bald."
Hanfu has a perfect clothing system, which is still inherited and developed by history even under the influence of social politics, economy and ideology. Nowadays, many people don't know and understand Hanfu, which is mainly the result of "shaving their heads and changing clothes" in the Qing Dynasty. Hanfu is only allowed to exist in professions such as actors and Taoist priests. However, in the late Qing Dynasty, western ideological trend and clothing aesthetics invaded, and then the whole nation suffered, and food and clothing could not be self-sufficient, so no one cared about clothing.
The revival of Hanfu is from the bottom up. Based on the country's increasingly important international status, Hanfu is only one of the carriers to revive the spiritual demands and aesthetic needs of China's traditional culture. With the popularity of tea ceremony, incense, flower arrangement, calligraphy and poetry writing, with the enthusiasm of the younger generation, it has gradually developed into today's situation.
Some people think that there is no authoritative official to define Hanfu, and Hanfu is a false concept. However, Hanfu itself is the clothing culture of the Han nationality, which accords with the historical view that the Han nationality can develop freely. There is no need for official regulations, just as officials will not stipulate what clothes can be called Miao costumes and what clothes can be called Bai costumes.
We are a multi-ethnic unified country, and we must revive Hanfu in this cognition. There is no denying that we just want to look good in clothes, and we don't care about the shape of Hanfu at all, and we don't care about the revival of renaissance culture. Personally, the general trend of historical development is forward, but the road is tortuous, which is also the normal situation on the road of cultural rejuvenation. Gradually, people will realize seeking common ground while reserving differences and reach a satisfactory understanding. As long as the end point remains the same, there is no harm in just slowing down and bypassing it.
