Hanfu show
Recently, the night of Zhongnan Mountain became dazzling and extraordinary due to an event named “Flowers Bloom in Zhongnan · Hanfu Night.” This event, organized by the China Traditional Culture Promotion Association · Hanfu Professional Committee, is not only a fashion feast but also an in-depth exploration and display of Chinese traditional clothing culture, with a special focus on Hanfu show and the restoration of traditional garments.

From the graceful beauty of the Pre-Qin period, the unparalleled elegance of the Tang Dynasty, to the graceful and refined style of the Song Dynasty, each period’s attire was carefully restored, presenting the profound cultural heritage of Chinese civilization and exquisite clothing artistry through Hanfu restoration.
Hanfu styles from different dynasties
The “Revival of the Chinese Dragon’s Pulse” exhibition restored famous ancient paintings such as “Portrait of Lady Li,” “The Tapestry of the Tang Dynasty,” “Walk of the Carriage,” “The Lady with Hairpin,” “The Music of the Song Dynasty,” and “The Morning Emperor.”
Restored from “The Painting of the Four Arts of the Scholar,” a standing woman wears a long-sleeve garment with a straight collar and Pipa sleeves, typical of the Ming Dynasty style.
Restored from “The Music of the Song Dynasty,” the woman in the painting wears an outer robe called “Bianzi” (a kind of cloak), a style popular during the Northern Song period and carried on through the Southern Song Dynasty. This type of Hanfu is the most common covering style, with a collar that runs through the hem and various lengths of garments, with slits on the sides.
Restored from “The Lady with Hairpin,” the model wears a loose, comfortable, diagonal-collared, large-sleeve tunic, with a long skirt dragging on the ground, and a transparent veil wrapped around both sides.
Restored from “The Portrait of Lady Li,” the woman in the painting wears a wide-sleeve Ru skirt with an embroidered apron.
Restored from “The Tapestry of the Tang Dynasty,” three models wear chest-high shirts and skirts, with silk draped over their shoulders. From the narrow sleeves and the patterned shirt skirts, it is clear that these are typical of the prosperous Tang style.
