What is hanfu? Hanfu, literally ‘Han clothes’, is one of the traditional types of Chinese clothing. It served as the characteristic clothing for the Han ethnic group for more than three millennia and was outlawed at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. When the Manchus from the Northeast of Ming established the Qing dynasty in 1636, the authorities banned the clothing attire wore by contemporary Han Chinese as part of series of cultural revisional order.
