Is ancient style the same as Hanfu?

Antique is different from Hanfu.

Hanfu, also known as Hanyiguan, is called "the traditional costume of the Han nationality". Hanfu not only bears the wisdom and craftsmanship of China people, but also bears the culture and spirit of this Chinese nation. From the accession of the Yellow Emperor to the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the Han people had their own clothing system, which has been passed down to this day.

Antique is usually a style, but it does not represent a professional name, and is usually used as an adjective. It can be said that a dress is an antique, a novel and a play are antiques, but Hanfu can't be used to describe other items anyway. These are two concepts in themselves. Therefore, there is an essential difference between ancient style and Hanfu.

The Basic Structure of Hanfu

Hanfu is made of cloth and silk, with a width of 2 feet and 2 inches (about 50cm). It is divided into ten parts: collar, lapel, slit, sleeve, sleeve, belt and collar. Take two pieces of cloth with the same length, fold them in half respectively as front and rear purlins, and sew the back seam. Straight-neck double-breasted clothing is a kind of clothing without slit in front. If you take another piece of cloth, cut it into two pieces and sew it on the left and right lapels, it will be the right lapel. The middle seam at the front and back is called V, that is, Du meridian and Ren meridian, which are on the right side of Ren meridian, so it is called right V..

The length of the shackles is divided into waist, knee and foot. Hanfu is divided into three lengths according to the length of hem: hem, hem and deep coat. The seam between sleeves and hem is called hem and cuffs are called cuffs. A complete Hanfu usually has three layers: underwear, underwear and coat.
