Why are the Hanfu sleeves so big? Why were the sleeves so big in ancient times?

I think there are several reasons why Hanfu has big sleeves, one may be because ancient people liked to put things in their sleeves, so they can be loaded with things. Second, the sleeves can be said to be a symbol of aristocratic power, and the commoners are mostly narrow sleeves, which is convenient for labor, and in our modern times, the main reason is to make the Hanfu more age and characteristics, so the wide sleeves are retained, which looks more elegant and good-looking.

The main reasons for the large sleeves of Hanfu are as follows:

1.Historical traditions: The origins of Hanfu can be traced back to the period of the Yellow Emperor, in which the wide-sleeved system has existed since the period of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors.

The larger the sleeves, the more powerful and wealthy they were, which was a very important symbol in ancient society. Therefore, over time, wide-sleeved hanfu gradually became a tradition and was widely used in the crown clothes of emperors.

2.Convenient placement of items: In ancient times, people often put items in their sleeves, and the large cuffs of hanfu made it easier for them to place and access items.

3.A symbol of aristocratic power: In ancient societies, wide-sleeved hanfu was usually the exclusive preserve of high-ranking officials and nobles, while commoners mostly wore narrow sleeves. This design is not only to show status, but also to visually emphasize the luxury and elegance of the wide sleeves.

4.Modern aesthetics: Modern people wear Hanfu mainly to pursue ancient style and traditional culture, and Hanfu with large cuffs is visually more classical beauty and characteristics, so it is also widely retained and applied.

In short, the reasons for the large sleeves of Hanfu mainly include various factors such as historical tradition, convenience and practicality, symbols of aristocratic power, and modern aesthetics.

Some of the clothes of the ancients had wide cuffs, but they could still hold things in such sleeves and not fall out. This is because the ancients would sew an inward pocket inside the sleeve of the shirt, so that some small and light objects could be placed in this pocket without falling off. <>

When we watch costume dramas, we can often see that the ancients would take out all kinds of things from their big sleeves, such as silver, letters, etc., and the cuffs where the things were put still did not fall off without raising their hands. This is because when the ancients designed the sleeves, they would also sew a pocket with the opening in the opposite direction to the cuffs, but even so, this hidden pocket can only hold some light and small things, and there is no way to put very heavy things. Therefore, this kind of cuff design is usually only used on the body of the rich and noble or the official eunuchs.

For wealthy families, if they need to carry some heavier things when they go out, they will not take them themselves at all, but let their entourage hold them, and if they bring too many things, they will carry an extra burden. For the eunuchs, especially the ** who will go to the court, when they face the emperor in the court, if something needs to be played, in order to pay attention to the etiquette in the court, they take things out of their sleeves. For ordinary people, they don't have as much attention as the rich and noble families and eunuchs, so they won't wear such clothes.

In addition to the small pockets in the sleeves, the pockets on the clothes of the ancients would also sew a pocket at the intersection of the placket of the clothes, and such pockets would be used on ordinary people. For them, if they wear clothes with wide sleeves, it is very inconvenient to work in ordinary times, so it is rare for ordinary people to wear such clothes with large sleeves. The well-known idiom of two-sleeved breeze is also derived from the design of this sleeve, if it is an honest and upright **, there is nothing in his sleeves, such sleeves can fan out the wind, and there are many **cannot.

The sleeve length of Hanfu gives us the feeling that it is wide and wide, and it is not very convenient for us to wear it to work or do something, many of them are new, and when we see that the sleeves are too long, I am afraid that I usually wear them and say that they are worn to sing Actually, do you know? Regarding the sleeve length of Hanfu, we can choose.

Our common sleeve types in Hanfu are: straight sleeves, narrow sleeves, half sleeves, large sleeves, and pipa sleeves, and Hanfu can also be divided into three types: casual clothes, regular clothes, and formal dresses.

Casual clothes can be used as our daily wear, you can choose narrow sleeves, straight sleeves, daily wear is concise and neat, no matter what work is very convenient. The general length is near the wrist joint, and the cuff diameter is 15-30 cm is better.

Regular clothes will be more solemn than casual clothes, just like when we usually go to relatives, the clothes will be more gorgeous, we usually shoot daily **, about colleagues to go out to party can choose regular clothes, here on the basis of casual clothes, you can choose pipa sleeves to match

Dress, this is one of the styles that we feel is inconvenient for Hanfu, in fact, the sleeves of this kind of dress are generally large sleeves (the width of the cuffs can even be close to the length of the sleeves. It is a classic sleeve shape in Hanfu). Now I basically regret that I am wearing it on more solemn occasions such as weddings and offline gatherings held by Hanfu merchants!

At this time, we generally walk in the direction of gorgeous and beautiful, just like we wear Western-style evening dresses, the first thing is to be beautiful, and it is forgivable that the dress is inconvenient to walk or go to the toilet.

In addition to wearing a smile to choose the sleeve shape of Hanfu, you can also grasp a key point, that is, the sleeve length, you can take a piece of clothing that is just the right length of yourself, and measure the straight-line distance between the two cuffs tilly, this is the sleeve length! If you don't have a ruler, you can use your height as a reference (because the length of normal people is usually equal to the height of your height), and you can roughly know how long the sleeve length of the detail page is.

Now that Hanfu has been promoted, more and more people are exposed to Hanfu, but when we wear Hanfu and walk on the streets, we will still receive strange eyes. It was very unclear at first, but after coming into contact with certain colleagues and going out to ask some passers-by and friends, I gradually learned about Hanfu, but for some reasons, or age level or type of thought, it will be difficult for many people to accept Hanfu for a while. The reason why wearing Hanfu makes people feel strange and alternative should be the most direct reason.

Many hanfu colors are relatively bright, and in daily life, many people will choose to wear cold-toned clothes. Chinese people have an innate sense of humility, do not like to show themselves, and to a greater extent, when they see flamboyant people, they will feel that they do not conform to the mainstream of society. And compared to the bright candy color, the simple design may be more acceptable.

Similar to the picture below, it is simple and playful, suitable for daily activities, and has a modern atmosphere, which is very consistent with the entire era, and will not cause the sense of disobedience of the Zen cover.

There are also Hanfu with wide sleeves and oversized skirts, and the number of clothes worn restricts our actions to a certain extent. In this fast-paced era, everyone is used to living fast, striding and so on. But when you wear hanfu, you will walk slowly.

Compared with skirts, the public should accept the style of small skirts. Pleated skirts, for example.

Short skirts such as umbrella skirts, straight skirts, mermaid skirts. In a way, these skirts are similar to hanfu, but the biggest difference is the skirt. Oversized skirts do have an impact to a certain extent, as reported in the news before.

In that case, riding a slide skirt is stuck into the slide, or many Hanfu girls will experience, the pain of going up the stairs and stepping on the front skirt, and going down the stairs to step on the back skirt. This is rarely the case with modern clothing.

I think that the direct reason why wearing Hanfu makes people feel strange is because it doesn't match the current life. Some people may disagree with this statement, but in the eyes of the public, the hanfu we wear is more like a costume and an ancient costume in their eyes, and will not be considered our traditional costume.

Hanfu, in the final analysis, this is indeed the lack of our culture, but I believe that in the future, we can wear Hanfu and walk on the streets and alleys, and no longer receive strange eyes from others.

No. Because the hanfu is light and fits well to wear, it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.

It will make people feel uncomfortable, because very long sleeves will affect people's daily life, and long sleeves will also be very inconvenient when doing things.

Long sleeves will definitely make people feel very uncomfortable, because people are not used to this kind of long sleeves, and they will also feel very troublesome when doing things in ordinary times.

It is not suitable, because Hanfu is a special kind of clothing, and it is okay to wear it on a regular basis, but it is embarrassing on the street.

Although Hanfu is very good-looking, it is not suitable for daily wear, it will look a little exaggerated, and it will also attract the surprised eyes of others.

Unhappy. Because the sleeves of hanfu are very long, it will be very inconvenient in daily life, so I don't think it is suitable for daily wear.
