　　 The word "Hanfu", which we mentioned today, emphasizes more on the "Han nationality standard". In fact, the traditional costume of Han nationality has not been separated from other nationalities since the beginning of Xia, Shang and Zhou. There are three important combinations of Hu Fu and Hanfu in Chinese history.

During the Warring States period, Zhao state in northern China often had war conflicts with the East Hu people and the buildings in Handan, southern Hebei, Inner Mongolia. Zhao Guoren's traditional dress is; the soup hustle, the main wife, the big wife and the big sleeves are very bad for the fighting, while the two "immediate nations" of Donghu and Lou are wearing short pants and are very convenient for activities. King Zhao Wuling saw the superiority of the enemy in clothing and made the national studies ride and shoot for political and military needs. Hu dress Adhering to the view that "the system of law is made according to its proper conditions and the clothes and appliances are used each other", the nomads' trousers, hooks and crotch trousers are introduced into the Central Plains army to enhance their strength and keep their homes. "Hu Fu riding and shooting" has always been used to praise the wisdom of Zhao Wu Ling, and the Hanfu has absorbed elements of Hu clothing.

During the Wei, Jin and southern and Northern Dynasties, the barbarian people entered the Central Plains, and the great migration of the north and South nationalities resulted in the great fusion of the two ethnic groups of Hu and Han nationalities. The most famous event is that Xiaowen emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty carried out the policy of Han ization vigorously, such as prohibiting the wearing of Xianbei clothes by the national people, changing all the Han clothes, changing Chinese into the only prevailing language, changing Xianbei family names as Han names, and encouraging Xianbei people to marry the Han people according to their families. It may be difficult for us today to imagine why a foreign leader has such a great determination to completely remove the customs of his own family, but the success of his reform has greatly promoted the fusion of Hu Han's national culture.

The Li family dynasty of Datang originally had Hu people The combination of Chinese culture and foreign culture reached a peak. In clothing, traditional clothing has developed to the ultimate beauty, and has added a lot of elements of Hu clothing. Women's clothing is unprecedented in men's clothing and very feminine. In the society, there is even a fashion of wearing Hu clothes and making up with Hu. China is in an unprecedented period of openness and confidence.

Because of the change of clothing in the two era, Hanfu is basically expelled from people's daily life.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu rulers carried out "shaving orders" and forced the Han people to shave their hair and wear clothes. They said: "those who follow the rules are the people of our country. Those who are hesitant are the ones who oppose their lives. If they cherish the evasion of love and argue with clever words, they will never lend money." For a while, "keep your hair in your head and leave your hair without leaving your head", the Qing government tried to use it. be at the expiration of a mourning period To "Hua Han". Later, in order to alleviate the conflict between Manchu and Han, and put forward the policy of "ten from ten not to follow", dress, such as women, Confucianism, Li, Lin, marriage, funeral and so on, could still retain Han style. But in any case, this refit has made clothes replace the Han traditional costumes and become the mainstream of clothing at that time.

In the period of the Republic of China, the more extensive "Hu Fu" - the three-dimensional and tight clothing of Westerners began to spread to China and became fashionable clothing of the upper class. For example, the regulations on the service regulations promulgated at that time stipulate that official uniform, dress and civil servant clothing are all Chinese and Western suits. This change has deeply affected the Chinese people's dressing concept and has affected so far.
