I. Overview of Hanfu Styles<\/strong><\/h2>

Hanfu, as the traditional attire of the Han ethnic group, has several key characteristics: crossed collars (right over left), wide sleeves and sashes, and a minimal use of buttons, often relying on ties instead<\/strong>. Based on historical periods, functions, and design structures<\/strong>, Hanfu can generally be classified into the following main categories:<\/p>

  1. Upper Garment and Lower Skirt System (Shenyi System)<\/strong> \u2013 Outfits where the top and bottom are separate, such as Quju robes, Zhiju robes, and round-collar robes.<\/li>
  2. Skirt-based System<\/strong> \u2013 Hanfu featuring a blouse paired with a skirt, including Qixiong Ruqun, Qiyao Ruqun, and Mamian skirts.<\/li>
  3. Robe System<\/strong> \u2013 One-piece robes such as round-collar robes, Zhiju robes, and Daopao.<\/li>
  4. Overcoats and Vests<\/strong> \u2013 Items like Beizi and Bijia, which add layering and enhance overall aesthetics.<\/li><\/ol>

    Now, let\u2019s explore each category in detail!<\/p>

    The Shenyi is a long robe where the top and bottom are seamlessly connected, featuring wide sleeves and a dignified design. It was traditionally worn by scholars and officials, balancing both formality and practicality.<\/p>
