	Han Chinese clothing - Chinese Dress - Chinese Culture
		According to the I Ching, an ancient work on divination, the Yellow Emperor made Hanfu in analogy to I Ching's two trigrams, the Force (☰ 乾 qián) and the Field (☷ 坤 kūn), which refer to Heaven (天) and Earth (地) respectively.
		The upper part of Hanfu, Yi, represents Heaven, while the lower part Shang is a representation of Earth.
		In view of this, one of the philosophical meanings of Hanfu is that the human being (the microcosm) is a representation of the Universe at large (the macrocosm).

		Hanfu pioneers say no to "cheong-sam" because it's not the costume of Han people, hanfu pioneers want to recall people of the elegant behaviors, the courtesy and find their own roots.
		Perhaps I could offer some suggestions, firstly the cutting out of a hanfu is "two dimensional", so it's simple than 3-dimensional cutting out(like some magnificent western dress in a prom), second there's no buttons, zip or anything like that, all what it has are ribbons, like the sash and such, and it's comfortable to wear..indeed
		Finally....wipes some sweat---ru qun--the hanfu style for girls specially, means the upper part and the skirt,tied together...it's flourishing in Tang dynasty.

		During the establishment of Manchu-Qing dynasty in China, Han people were forced to give up their own clothes and shave the hair to be pigtail style.

	Comparing the Hanfu, Hanbok and Kimono - Asia Finest Discussion Forum
		I'm sure the REAL hanfu in ancient times looked more sophisticated (think of Zhang Ziyi's gown when she performed for Andy Lau's character, eventhough it's a Tang dynasty-dress, but it's still hanfu)
		I would make the obi less massive and more like the Hanfu waist-line, which is supple and skintight.
		Hanbok is just a fu-ked-up imitation of Hanfu when the Kimchis tried to borrow Hanfu from China.

		There's a dude that makes hanfu in the US online by the name of Hong Gallery but he charges $300 for a subpar hanfu - used very heavy material that looked luxurious but was not good quality and the cutting was terrible.
		Most Chinese folks regard hanfu as something very ancient and they'll know of it if you show them a picture but they'll have no idea where or how to get one, much less wear it to their wedding!
		The hanfu however was what the Japanese Kimono and the Korean Hanbok is based on as it spread from China to to neighboring East Asian countries mostly during Tang.

		My reason for creating the gallery is to show the beautiful of the traditional Chinese dress which have been worn in China throughout its 5000+ year history.
		Unfortunately, many mistake the tight-fitting cheongsam/qipao as the traditional Chinese costume when in fact, it is a very very recent creation when compared to the hanfu.
		The hanfu is the costume which influenced the Japanese kimono and Korean hanbok to be what they are - but the Chinese hanfu does not recieve the recognition or attention that it deserves.
