What kind of Hanfu should be worn on formal occasions and in daily life in ancient times?

Classification of Hanfu:

1. Dress: specially used in ceremonies or organized activities, such as offering sacrifices, offering sacrifices to heaven, weddings, country drinking... Due to the formality of the wearing occasion , and ritual discipline - there is a hierarchy in this type of clothing. (It should be noted that someone can wear the same clothes as the dress, but if they are not in a situation, it can only be regarded as regular clothes.) There are only two major categories:

1. Cross-collar clothing system: such as Gun Mian, Ming Dynasty court uniform.

2. Deep-collared clothing: such as the Ming Dynasty's crimson gauze gown.

2. Regular clothes: they are the most common ones among us and are the most common in ancient paintings. They are not distinguished from the Hanfu of the Qing Dynasty. Regular clothes have no hierarchy and are only used in daily life. Of course, in private, small-scale activities can also be used as formal wear. Including:

1. Cross-collar clothing system.

2. Cross collar and deep clothing system.

3. Pan-collar robe.

4. Straight jacket.

3. Fashion (civilian clothing): This is the most changing and complex category of Hanfu. It is rooted in political enlightenment and urban development. It changes at any time and often breaks through the original pattern - but , in any case, his changes will never affect the status of regular clothes and formal wear.

4. Work clothes: including military uniforms, those worn by craftsmen, farmers, and actors. Special clothing is purely for practical purposes, while military uniforms are closely related to technology.

Our mission is to awaken people’s understanding of formal attire by advocating Chinese rituals and music based on Hanfu uniforms; taking into account both work clothes and fashion, but not confusing the Hanfu uniforms.

Some people nihilize Hanfu - that is exaggerating the fashion and ignoring the existence of ordinary clothes.

Some people accuse us of making things difficult for others - that is to demonize ordinary clothes and cover up fashionable clothes.

Some people accuse Hanfu of being impractical - that is ignoring the existence of work clothes.

Some people accuse us of being superficial - that is because we have not studied the system of formal wear.

Some people accuse us of being retro - that is because we have forgotten the importance of fashion.
