My Favorite Chinese Treasures EP22｜Sun Chuqiao: Unveiling Tang Dynasty Hanfu Varieties

Hanfu is a treasure of Chinese civilization. I like the beauty and style of Hanfu made in the Tang Dynasty, so I spent a month preparing and researching an obvious mystery of her. In the early Tang Dynasty, short jackets with narrow sleeves were the most common tops for daily women's clothing, and the waist of skirt would be tied above the chest, making them slender and beautiful. Later, when female emperor came into power, women's clothing also changed with the neckline and waist down, the style has becoming bold and open. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the country became strong and women's bodies gradually became plump. The trend is to prioritize fattest beauty, advocating loose-fitting clothing. During the mid to late Tang Dynasty, society was turbulent and the trend of extravagance and enjoyment was prevalent. The long-sleeved robe and long skirt that hung down to the ground were the unique charm of women's clothing in the Tang Dynasty. Hanfu has a long history of about 4,000 years, and the Tang style Hanfu is only one chapter in it. As a descendant of the Chinese people, I am very proud of the long-standing Chinese culture.
