How to Wear Hanfu | Quju Shenyi (曲裾深衣) from the Han Dynasty 

Yes me too. I just came across ur videos today OMG im so happy😃😃

I recommend a Chinese website called Bilibili, there’s so many hanfu videos there

@@katxu5265 thanks for the recommendation. I looked for it in youtube. Its an Asian platform like yt. Lots of anime, pop music, news and...fun interests (cute Japanese stuff) came up. Not so much a rabbit hole as a whole rabbit warren. I would need translation to find my way around. Just for others like me who didn't know.

Dude same! I'm trying to craft authentic dress for my worldbuilding that isn't just "spicy medieval" and this channel is a wealth of information. I don't think my clothes will look Chinese at the end, but the basic approach to clothing is so different that I'm having my own ideas shift as well

I love this style! But it is a bit more complicated to put on and move around. And people are still arguing about whether or not the knee length version existed in history since only long versions have been found in tombs.

This style is supposedly worn by everybody during that time period.

Straight sleeves and a shorter skirt would allow most work to be done without hindrance. Using the base trousers and jackets in heavier materials for durability would be convenient for all manual work. Very similar to the Mao suit. Each piece of the whole outfit can be used and interpreted in a modern way, mixing the pieces with current Japanese simplicity couture or western pieces as desired. Both the inner jacket and outer coatdress would lookvery well over jeans or tailored trousers. I'm glad I found your channel Ally. Learning about both the structure and wearing of Chinese clothing isboth helpful and inspiring. Thank you. Anyone appalled at wearing clothing in a non traditional way needs to look at the development of all fashions. Paul Poiret from a century ago being a prime example.

Thank you! The undergarments were indeed PJs in ancient times. Most of my hanfu items were ordered online on Taobao.com and shipped to the U.S.

I fin it easier to buy cotton fabric and make my own, usually the trousers with both the wrap top for winter and a camisole style top for summer. You can also use lightweight or heavier weight (I use voile in summer and poplin in winter) depending on where you live. Northern Chinese clothing was often wool or padded cotton especially in winter for this reason.

Thank you Bernard! Yuan Dynasty is established by Mongol nomads. It's a short-lived but unique dynasty. And what they wore is a combination of traditional Mongolian dress and hanfu. I shall look into it more. :)

CulturAllyy Thank you very much!

How to Wear Aoqun - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XCpjr5-mB7I.html I will be making more videos on other aspects of Aoqun soon :)

Some can be hang on hangers, the rest can be folded for storage. They are not that different from modern clothes ;)

I saw this video explained: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-27zvyYPw-Lo.html

謝謝，我還沒看琅琊榜二，但是林奚的人物設定看起來真不錯呢

I would totally wear hanfu to my prom if I could go back in time! I wear ballet flats or Chinese embroidered shoes with hanfu. I've seen models wearing modern heals and I think it looks nice too. In ancient times, people tuck their skirts into the belt when working in the field. Of course they wear long pants underneath so they would not be showing any skin.

I find so many shoes from amazon you just type Chinese shoes. I am not Chinese but love wearing those shoes so pretty and comfortable.

Looks like left over right from your video, I guess I just want clarification. I don't want to make a mistake. OTL

The length usually doesn’t matter, the historical accurate quju is floor length with straight sleeves, the shorter version is a more modern version made for it to walk easier.

Shenyi 深衣.

That's the middle wear. Historically from what I heard, Han dynasty didn't have underwear yet so they make this kind of "deep" clothing to properly cover the whole body. The historical one is long that cover up to the feet. This modern one she wore is short and require a skirt to go under it but there are also long ones being made too. Hanfu historically have at least 3 layers, underwear (replaced by modern underwear), middle wear (the white shirt that she wore), and outer wear.

@@hunglac7578 Thanks. In Film and Games, being that I am a bit of a history buff, I always notice how modern underwear and underwear concepts creep in. But I have no knowledge about asian historical clothing, so I do not know what or if any underwear was worn by them. Are there any decent youtube videos truely covering historical chinese or asian clothing?

luv gum spring and autumn period to han

Hanfu has many varieties of styles. The separate shirt and skirt style is actually more common. For example Qiyao Ruqun is one of them. I also did a video on that style, hope it helps :)

@@FiveThousandYears thank you 😊

Do you mean the embroideries? This one is a ready-to-wear item and the pattern was part of the design. I know there are embroidery sewing machines that can make any pattern you like.

@@FiveThousandYears Do you have website link to where I can find the pattern? I am trying to make a paper pattern for a hanfu but I have never made a paper pattern for a robe before 😟

Hope this helps: i.pinimg.com/originals/e9/21/60/e9216064c1e21c659baa0e0e348c4e09.jpg

One cannot ignore the Confucian principles and ethics, while originating in China, were shared by Korea, Japan, Okinawa, and Vietnam. Crossing the left over the right was done by everyone unless one is a corpse. Then the opposite would be the case. China has had a very long history, and people, especially in the West ,have short memories on how they view the timeline of history. Hence the recent view that China was a poor, backward country. This was not the case before the 19th century. China is East Asia's Greece and Rome. The cultures that were to develop in the neighboring countries, owe much of its influence from China. For instance in Japan, they gad no form of writing until they were exposed to the culture of China, which was already old at that point. Even today, "Kanji," Chinese characters, make up a good portion of written Japanese. Even in Korea, a country that developed its own form of writing, learning Chinese characters was a mark of learning and scholarship. This was also the case in Vietnam. Korea had such an admiration of classical Chinese culture, that civil officials continued to wear Ming style court dress, and not that of the Manchus. They also kept alive much of the Confucian ethics and ceremonies even into the 20th century.

Alibaba

I order most of my hanfu from Taobao.com and ship them to the U.S. This particular outfit is from a shop called 重回汉唐. Hope this helps :)

曲裾现在网上大多都是商家自己编造的
