I am a firm believer that the Hanfu is the worlds most beautiful national dress.

>>214703784 (OP)
I give this post about 5 seconds until a coping japanese man starts ranting about how hanfu is actually not traditional at all

>>214703880
He's right, but neither is the kimono.

Like seriously look at this

>>214703880
It's Japanese cope for not having the better dress

>>214704000
VGGGH... I wish the whole world didn't decide to adopt western dress

>>214704024
The mongols/manchus actually had cooler dresses, this faux-historic shit is beyond tacky compared to the real thing. It's like bathrobes with Etsy designs on them.

>>214704071
That shits way lamer than Tang and Song dress

>>214704737
Not a fan of Tang personally and Song wasn't very organized. Most of what we know about Song is through third party/Buddhist sources.

I'm a firm believer that 'hanfu' isn't an ancient word but a recently developed larp by changs who are lying and abusing the larp to claim a history that doesn't exist.

Just be honest with your disdain for foreign cultures conquering China and influencing your history and culture including your clothes.

What does it mean hanfu doesn't exist? It's a collective term for ancient/medieval dresses. Like, are you saying people just walked around naked for millennia?

>>214705144
I don't think it's Chinese. I think it's Falun Gong mostly.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shen_Yun
>Shen Yun Performing Arts (Chinese: 神韻藝術團; lit. 'divine rhythm arts troupe') is a nonprofit performing arts and entertainment company based in the United States that produces performances of dance and symphonic music.[1][2] It is operated by the Falun Gong new religious movement[3] founded and led by Li Hongzhi.[4][5][6]
It's HQ'd in New York. China had the New Culture Movement in the 1910s, then they had the Great Leap Forward 50 years later. So there's like 2 layers of revisionism and Soviet progress to cut through, then out of nowhere in the 90s they take all of this investment money from Japan, World Bank, etc. and what do you know you get these CIA funded nationalist cults cropping up all over just like how they used to fund the Dalai Lama. Chinese never gave a shit about any of this for the entirety of the 20th century, and apparently Qing too since they denounced that as foreign.

Protip: most Chinese girls just want pictures in cute dresses for social media. None of them get involved in this incel historical accuracy shit
t. knower

Show us when the word 'hanfu' first showed up that isn't some ccp shill site. You won't because its less than 25 years old.

>>214705308
This. But it's somewhere between an anime adaptation or historic fiction. They might as well portray it as Wuxia rather than historic, Hong Kong was way more honest.

Then there's a 1400 year gap and the guy skips to Qing? What? Doesn't even bring up Tang. I think this is more a book about fashion/culture rather than a serious history.

It's honestly the hair that makes it, not the dress. The dress is nice but the hair is so elaborate and pretty that it elevates the dress to another level by association.

>>214705308

And I want pictures of chinese girls in cute dresses. Everyone wins!

I like cute girls in dresses so it works out for me

>>214703784 (OP)
you spelled hanbok wrong

Why is this such a divisive topic for ricecels? It's just a dress, who cares?

kek I love foreign autists, they're like record keepers of information I might want to learn one day

>>214705886
>Hanbok
Holy mid

I like qipao/cheongsam. Don't care if it's appropriated Mong dress. It makes my wiener stand up and go inside furry Chinese beaver.

>>214705922
It's a point of strange pride to them

>>214703784 (OP)
meh

>>214708630
Ok then, what do you like?

>>214707642
I too like the qipao

>>214705368
>>214705144
nigga who cares when the word started to be used. you sound like a redditor

For me? Saree is definitely #1 traditional dress

>>214707642
>qipao/cheongsam
Forgot about this one. I retract my prior statement. Saree is #2. Qipao/cheongsam wins.

>>214709927
SAAREE

>>214709804
I like the face she does when she smiles.
The chinkier the better.

>>214709927
I think it's nice but the very many Hanfu's blow everything out of the water

>>214710197
The face of the Chinese woman is the worlds most beautiful

>I give this post about 5 seconds until a coping japanese man starts ranting about how hanfu is actually not traditional at all
idgaf how ancient or recent something is, only if it is good
>B-B-But it's from the 19th ce-
>Is it a good thing though?
>Y-You just don't get it mo-most "traditions" aren't e-even a century old!!!
>But are they good though?

Cosplay-tier shit

>>214705144
"Hanfu" just means "chinese/han clothing" .
The pseudohistorical hanfu is fueled by TV shows with dubious historical research and actual college theatre kids and larpers getting state funding to astroturf a cultural revival.
It could be nice if the costumes themselves weren't slop.
It's like using Disney movies as your base for historical accuracy.

Lets be honest here :
Hanfu is nice enough but it would be improved considerably if the girls wearing them were barefoot and lifted the hem of their dresses when sitting down so as to reveal their feet.
We can debate historicity as much as we want but this would be an objective improvement.

>>214717508
The dresses are long so they can be modest

>>214703784 (OP)
Lel didn't they just steal it from the Koreans? Nothing traditional about it.

>>214718795
See, that is precisely what makes it so divine when the foot just pokes out from under the hem.

>>214719265
How can you steal Chinese clothes from Korea?
>>214719394
I understand what you mean, however Chinese women are too modest and it is impossible to find such a thing.

of course the perverted footfag is french
