The Spiritual Connotation of Hanfu

With the recent popularity of Miss Hanfu, a wave of Hanfu craze has quickly set off, and its retro clothes are just like fairies. First of all, we should know that the full name of Hanfu is "traditional costumes of the Han nationality", which was finalized in the Zhou Dynasty and spread to the Qin Dynasty. Hanfu, with a long cultural history in China, is a well-deserved national quintessence.

Hanfu is the crown clothing system in the Four Books and Five Classics, and it is an essential part of etiquette culture inherited on the basis of Confucian classics such as The Book of Songs, Shangshu, Zhou Li, Li Ji, Yijing, Spring and Autumn Period, Li Kaiyuan, Twenty-four History and other historical subsets. Hanfu contains considerable cultural connotation, and is influenced by the four philosophical thoughts of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism and France, which has shaped the style of "Hanfu", which is the unity of heaven and man, elegant and free and easy. "Hanfu" also reflects the wearer's generosity, easygoing and tolerance.

Hanfu began with "Huangdi hanging clothes to rule the world" and ended with "shaving hair and changing clothes" in Qing Dynasty. Hanfu takes "harmony between man and nature" as its cultural core, and its design concept represents the profound meaning and external beauty of Hanfu. Hanfu cuffs are wide and loose, representing harmony in heaven. The clothes of Hanfu represent the virtues of fairness, integrity and tolerance in the East. The top piece of the garment consists of four pieces of cloth, which means that there are twelve pieces of cloth under the deep garment all year round, which should refer to December of the year. The design of Hanfu perfectly embodies its core concept of "harmony between man and nature" in many details.

The beauty of Hanfu is beautiful from ancient times to the present. Whenever there are traditional festivals in China, many young ladies wear beautiful Hanfu lanterns to watch the beautiful scenery, which is full of ceremony. In front of Hanfu, those seemingly fashionable clothes are vulnerable and can't compare with the beauty of Hanfu at all.

Hanfu is not only a dress, but also has a profound cultural background, which embodies its aesthetic implication. Hanfu is also an important cultural symbol of our country, which is of great significance to the inheritance of our country. Today, with the rapid development and progress of society, we should continue to inherit traditional culture, study Hanfu deeply and show the splendid civilization of China.

The most intuitive feeling conveyed by Hanfu is formal beauty. It is difficult for people who have not personally worn Hanfu to appreciate this beauty. E Guan Dai Bo, with a wide robe and big sleeves, is dignified and solemn when he is still, and elegant and free when he walks. Scholars and poets of all ages have been chanting the beauty of clothes. "Silk clothes are gloomy and exquisite", which is a magnificent beauty. "First put a plum blossom into the soft dance, and then take a graceful step on the moon. The sleeve dance is light and graceful, so real." Qu Yuan, a poet of Chu, once said, "I loved this strange costume when I was young, and it will never fade when I am old." Qu is famous for his noble appearance. He praised the beauty of vanilla all his life, but he even praised a dress. If so, it can be seen that this dress is comparable to natural vanilla, and it is amazing.

The painter brought the beauty of clothing to the extreme, symbolizing the perfection of the gods. Cao, a painter of the Six Dynasties, painted characters with dense thin lines, showing that his clothes were close to his skin, "thick and tight", as if he had just come out of the water, so he was called "Cao clothes came out of the water". The characters painted by Wu Daozi, a painter in the Tang Dynasty, are called "martial arts". This aesthetic psychology is so strong that after more than 300 years of hair cutting and clothes changing, even people who mistakenly think that Han people have no national costumes still have an indescribable love and nostalgia for the elegance of Changfeng Yingxiu. In recent years, the popularity of costume film and television dramas is largely due to people's aesthetic recovery of Hanfu.

The beauty of color decoration is another feature of the beauty of Hanfu. Color decoration is, to a great extent, a reflection of a nation's internal character and spirit in external modeling. Since the formation of the costume system in Zhou Dynasty, the colors of costumes have strict boundaries and different meanings. Take Duan Xuan as an example. Duan Xuan, a scholar, dressed in mysterious clothes, has a deep and serious beauty, with red in black and yellow in red. Another example is Zhu's deep clothes, which are white and soapy, pure and simple, expressing the spirit of the Han family. The Book of Rites has recorded in detail the shape and connotation of deep clothes: "The ancients wore deep clothes to cover them, so as to conform to the rules, rules, ropes, rights and balance.
