From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hanfu is a term used for the historical styles of clothing worn in China by the Han Chinese. Traditionally, the hanfu consisted of a robe or shirt worn as the upper garment, with a pleated skirt commonly worn as the lower garment. Following the Han dynasty, this clothing had developed into a variety of styles utilising fabrics that encompassed a number of complex textile production techniques, particularly those used to produce silk, and had absorbed a number of elements from foreign cultures. Hanfu also influenced the whole Han culture circle through the Chinese law system. Some Asian nations, such as Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Mongolia, Bhutan and so on, all have the characteristics of Hanfu.[1]
