Extended data:

Hanfu is a thousand-year-old ceremonial costume system from the accession of the Yellow Emperor (about 2698 BC) to the end of the Ming Dynasty (A.D.1mid-7th century), with Chinese ceremonial culture as the core and worship of Zhou rites in the Han Dynasty.

Since Huangdi and Yao Shun ruled the world by hanging down their clothes, Hanfu has taken a basic shape. After the inheritance of etiquette and law in the Zhou Dynasty, a perfect costume system was formed, which was popularized to the people in the Han Dynasty and influenced the whole Chinese cultural circle through Confucianism and Chinese legal system. The customs of Han people, Hanfu people, China people and China are all named after this. Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese have all enacted laws imitating China's clothing.

Kimono is the traditional national costume of the Japanese, and it is also one of the cultural assets that the Japanese are most worthy of boasting to the world. In fact, kimono originated from the costumes in China during the Han and Tang Dynasties, and gradually formed a modern Japanese kimono style through the revision of Japanese dynasties, but it is basically not much different from the costumes in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The wearing skills of kimono were born after pondering and testing with the customs and background of the times. The elegant and beautiful patterns on clothes come from the Japanese's appreciation of mountains and rivers, their attachment to local customs, and even their delicate feelings about humanistic spirit and situation.
