I just had a look, and those comments.... I don't think it's worth spreading hanfu on 4chan. There are too many trolls. -_- But I applaud the ones who are trying.
囧,我被BAN了。。。真的不知道做错什么了。。。。 下面是我写的,没来得及贴。。。求人帮忙贴一下。。。 —— Alright guys, I know most of you here are trolls/weeaboos/looking for cheap entertainment, but I'm going to try anyway. First of all, hanfu ("han"=chinese, "fu"=clothing) is THE original/native/ethnic/traditional clothing of the Han Chinese people. It's defined by its y shaped collar and long sleeves. Japanese and Korean clothing are all derived from hanfu. Hanfu was worn in China until the Qing Dynasty, when the invading Manchus decreed that all Han chinese had to wear Manchurian clothing, and that men had to wear their hair in the queue. With that, hanfu disappeared for 300 years, and the high, mandarin collared Manchurian-style clothing became taken for granted as traditional Chinese clothing. Qipao, which many take to be the chinese equivalent of the kimono, is in fact merely a manchurian dress styled to fit western tastes (ie making it tighter and more revealing), and was originally worn by prostitutes. HOWEVER, ever since the early 2000s, there is a growing movement in Chinese communities all around the world, not just in China, to revive hanfu. Numerous hanfu shops have been established, and there are many groups organizing hanfu events during traditional holidays. The hanfu revival is part of a greater revival of traditional chinese culture. Hanfu enthusiasts partake in popularizing traditional (Han) chinese weddings and traditional coming-of-age ceremonies and tea ceremonies, etc. Aesthetically hanfu is exceptionally beautiful and for that reason alone is worthy of revival , but more importantly it is a vital factor in reviving the spirit of Chinese pride and tradition.
