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.

Asia Pacific 83 years ago today: Battle of Tai'erzhuang (7 April 1938) https://buff.ly/3rX3bcH Despite the outcry over the fall of Shanghai and the Rape of Nanking, the Western powers were not prepared to intervene against Japan. However there was some hope for the Chinese - in April their troops managed their first major victory, defeating the Japanese at Tai'erzhuang and temporarily preventing the connection of the two Japanese armies. #1930s #1938 #20thcentury #april #april7 #asiapacific #atlas #axisallies #cartografia #chinesecivilwar #chiangkaishek #chinesehistory #nazigermany #historyclass #historygeek #historymajor #historymaker #historymatters #historymuseum #empireofjapan #japanesehistory #mapa #maps #sinojapanesewar #japaneseempire #ww2 #wwii #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall)
