Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hanfu?
Hanfu (I
) is the traditional clothing of the Han Chinese people, with over 3,000 years of history. It includes all styles worn from the Xia Dynasty through the Ming Dynasty (before Qing Dynasty). The term encompasses robes, skirts, jackets, and accessories that follow specific construction principles including crossed collars, wrapped front, and flowing sleeves.
Is Hanfu the same as Qipao?
No. Hanfu predates Qipao by thousands of years. Hanfu features crossed collars, wrapped front closures, and flowing silhouettes. Qipao (cheongsam) is a fitted dress that originated in 1920s Shanghai with Manchu-influenced design. They represent entirely different Chinese clothing traditions.
