Hanfu, short for “Han Ethnic Traditional Attire,” also called Han robes, Han outfits, or Huafu, spans from Emperor Huangdi’s reign to the mid-17th century (late Ming to early Qing). Rooted in “Huaxia-Han” culture and centered on Huaxia rituals, it evolved naturally in Han-majority areas, boasting a unique ethnic flair distinct from other groups. It’s China’s “land of robes,” “realm of rituals,” “brocade nation,” and “Serica” identity, carrying Han dyeing, weaving, and embroidery crafts plus over 30 Chinese intangible heritage items and protected art forms.

The Han people have always been a pretty reserved bunch,

chasing beauty through either intricate details or low-key luxury,

boosted by a thriving textile scene—

ling, luo, chou, duan,

silk, bo, brocade, juan…

crafting jaw-dropping clothing styles~

Strictly speaking,

Hanfu breaks into 10 parts: collar, front, lapel,

hem, sleeve, cuff, belt, and apron.

A full set usually has an underlayer (inner shirt),

mid-layer, and outer layer.

Nowadays, street Hanfu lovers sport all sorts of looks,

most with just Hanfu elements mixed in.

More people are embracing and loving Hanfu,

with Han touches popping up more in daily life~

A thousand years of Huaxia flow, emotions woven in attire,

hope every Hanfu wearer feels free,

may this stunning outfit, built on rituals and culture,

shine with its true worth.

Even better, hope everyone gets to know Hanfu,

savor the rhythm of Chinese culture,

and feel the warmth it holds.
