In this apparel set, *Cila* has adopted the traditional Ruqun (1) and Beizi (2) concepts and styles into beautiful new designs and re-introductory of Hanfu.
Hanfu, literally "Han Chinese clothing", is the traditional dress of the Han Chinese people. The term Hanfu derives from the Book of Han, which says, "then many came to the Court to pay homage and were delighted at the clothing style of the Han people."
The concept of Hanfu is distinguished from the broader concept of traditional Chinese clothing. This excludes many changes and innovations in the dress of the Han Chinese people since 1644, the founding of the Qing dynasty, on the basis that such changes were imposed by force, or adopted through cultural influence from the ruling Manchu ethnicity. Thus, the Qipao, while widely regarded as an example of traditional Chinese clothing, is not an example of Hanfu since it derives from a Manchu clothing style.
Historically, Han Clothing has influenced many of its neighboring cultural costumes, such as Japanese Kimono, Yukata, Korean Hanbok, and the Vietnamese áo tứ thân. Elements of Hanfu have also been influenced by neighboring cultural costumes, especially by the nomadic peoples to the north, and Central Asian cultures to the west by way of the Silk Road.
Nowadays, the Hanfu is worn during some festivals or coming of age/rite of passage ceremonies, by hobbyists or historical reenactment advocates, by Taoist, Confucian or Buddhist monks and priests during religious ceremonies, or as a cultural exercise. There is also a movement in China and some overseas Chinese communities to revive Han Chinese clothing in daily life and incorporate it into Chinese festivals or celebrations.
In this apparel set, *Cila* has adopted the traditional Ruqun (1) and Beizi (2) concepts and styles into her beautiful new designs and re-introductory of Hanfu.
Remarks:
(1) Ruqun (襦裙) is an item of traditional Chinese attire (Hanfu) primarily for women but also for men. It consists of a blouse (襦, ru) and a wrap-around skirt (裙, qun). It is the eldest type of Hanfu which is said to have been worn by the legendary Yellow Emperor and it is said to be worn by women since the Warring States period.
(2) Bèi zǐ (褙子) is an item of traditional Chinese attire common to both men and women, similar to a cloak. It was most popular during the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. The origin date of Beizi is unknown, and someone believed that Beizi and Banbi had been adopted from Central Asia during the Tang Dynasty through the Silk Road when cultural exchanges were frequent. However, it is also believed to have been derived from Banbi during the Song Dynasty, where the sleeves and the garment lengthened.
