What are some important facts about the Hanfu dress?
- Hanzhuang is another name for Hanfu, and it is believed that the dress was originally created by mixing several fabrics like shirts, skirts, etc.
- Prints of Phoenix birds on Hanu dresses were used to mark the status of kings and queens in imperial China. If one queen had more power than another, her Hanfu had more prints of Phoenix birds to denote this.
- Another version of Hanfu, the bianfu, started getting increasing popular over the years, because of its ease of use and design. The bianfu is a two-piece Hanfu dress – a knee-length tunic, and a hat in the shape of a cylinder. Skirts were worn along with the bianfu, only during formal or religious occasions.
