Accustomed Chinese Dress

Have you ever been to the renowned land of the dynamic Chinese? If yes, you might have already heard the term Hanfu which pertains to a accustomed costume worn by Chinese people during the pre-seventeenth century, what they named as the Han era.

Aside from little sects in the society, most Chinese don't know what Hanfu is because Manchu raiders extinguished this dress during the seventeenth century by force. Hence, the people who know about the Hanfu are trying to convey to the government today to make these dresses national clothing since the Han era was among the most luxurious eras of all time. Today's dresses, the Tangzhuang and the Qipao, are not known by these people as national costumes for the Chinese since they suppose that the Manchus are the ones who brought these two dresses to China.

It can be said that most people suppose that Hanfu is very distinguished because national dresses of nearby country are based from the design of the Hanfu. That is why they want to bring back the costume as the national dress. They further claim that they can trace the Hanfu way back to the early years of China's history, when the dress was worn proudly by varying emperors and political heads as well as common people of China.
