How to Wear Hanfu | Quju Shenyi (曲裾深衣) from the Han Dynasty
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- Quju Shenyi or Quju Pao (曲裾深衣/曲裾袍) is a common style during the Qin (221- 206 BCE) and subsequent Han (202 BCE- 220 CE) dynasties.
This video will show you a step-by-step tutorial on how to wear Quju Shenyi or Quju Pao. I will also talk about each individual pieces as well as the history behind them.
Hanfu, meaning Han Chinese Clothing, or as I'd like to call it Han Couture, is what ancient Chinese people wore for thousands of years.
Traditional Chinese Clothes changed from dynasty to dynasty and there exists hundreds of variations.

You have no idea how happy I was to find your videos, I was litterally thinking that I can find plenty of videos about various periods of european fashion, but I've never really seen any about asian fashion, I had just started searching for videos about the different layers of hanfu, and I am so happy I found yours, this is exactly what I was looking for!
Yes me too. I just came across ur videos today OMG im so happy😃😃
I recommend a Chinese website called Bilibili, there’s so many hanfu videos there
@@katxu5265 thanks for the recommendation. I looked for it in youtube. Its an Asian platform like yt. Lots of anime, pop music, news and...fun interests (cute Japanese stuff) came up. Not so much a rabbit hole as a whole rabbit warren. I would need translation to find my way around. Just for others like me who didn't know.
Dude same! I'm trying to craft authentic dress for my worldbuilding that isn't just "spicy medieval" and this channel is a wealth of information.
I don't think my clothes will look Chinese at the end, but the basic approach to clothing is so different that I'm having my own ideas shift as well
I’m so happy you’re talking about Chinese culture and about traditional Chinese clothing! Not many people know about the different forms of Hanfu. Most people only know of the Qipao/Cheongsam. I’ve been watching a lot of Chinese historical dramas lately and came across your channel :)
Dear Ally,
I was also told that the four parts of the top represent the seasons while the twelve folds of the skirt are representing the twelve months. Also that the way of fixing the ribbons of the ruqun should remember the woman to behave introverted and gentle :)
I LOVE THIS. Thank you so much for making such beautifully done videos, I've been on and off fascinated by Hanfu from my childhood days when my mom would watch period dramas but it's been so difficult finding more accurate demonstrations and visually see how these garments are supposed to be designed and worn. I now finally feel like I have a better feel of how to make one myself perhaps.
It's a pity that the method of wearing it has been lost. This type of hanfu is the prettiest. Is this why I rarely see quju shenyi in the Hanfu Movement?
I love this style! But it is a bit more complicated to put on and move around. And people are still arguing about whether or not the knee length version existed in history since only long versions have been found in tombs.
These videos are exactly what I've been looking for! I've been having a hard time sourcing good information about the different kinds of Hanfu and their specifics (I live in America and can't read chinese so that's probably why I can't find as much). I love both the quality and the specifics of your videos. Showing how they are put on is so great for understanding how these garments are put together and work. I'm blown away by the quality of your garments and videos. Please keep making them!
impressive. I am proud to be a Chinese!
漢唐時期,四周蠻夷都以學習漢文化,寫漢字,穿漢服 為榮,想當年中國人是多麼地威武霸氣。 然而近代中國國運衰落,滿清民國血淚,任人宰割,中國人在國際上的形象一落千丈。好在現在中國國運開始上升,漢文化必將復興。振興中華,重回漢唐,有你有我。
明末国运就衰弱了,满清文化和正统中国格格不入…
This is really good. There are not enough resources for Chinese historical clothing online. Does this style work for peasant clothing?
This style is supposedly worn by everybody during that time period.
Straight sleeves and a shorter skirt would allow most work to be done without hindrance. Using the base trousers and jackets in heavier materials for durability would be convenient for all manual work. Very similar to the Mao suit.
Each piece of the whole outfit can be used and interpreted in a modern way, mixing the pieces with current Japanese simplicity couture or western pieces as desired. Both the inner jacket and outer coatdress would lookvery well over jeans or tailored trousers.
I'm glad I found your channel Ally. Learning about both the structure and wearing of Chinese clothing isboth helpful and inspiring. Thank you. Anyone appalled at wearing clothing in a non traditional way needs to look at the development of all fashions. Paul Poiret from a century ago being a prime example.
I love your channel! I’m currently studying Chinese history on my own and that includes fashion during dynasties. Your videos are helpful. All thus information is going to to be in my notes. ☺️☺️☺️ Thank you for sharing your beautiful culture to us! 💕💕💕
I am currently teaching history of international fashion and this is INCREDIBLE! Helps me so much, thank you! I love how you explain everything. One of the best history of fashion videos I've seen.
Thank you so much! I just bought two hanfus online and I have NO idea how to wear them. This video could really help me to understand more how it works and at the same time not disrespecting any group of people with me not wearing it right ✨🥰
Wow!!!i really love chinese outfits during the dynasties,although i am a filipino woman.really love it,thats why i love to watch chinese historical movies!
I luffff Chinese traditional sooooo much😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
It looks beautiful and elegant. At first glance, it looks like a simple piece of clothing but makes a big difference when you show the dress in detail. Looks like a lot of thought was put into it. The dress you wore was simple in design/embroidery/stitching and did not have much designs. I can imagine it shine and really amaze the audience if there were beautiful designs/embroidery/colors. I agree with you, the sash belt does make it look even more beautiful. Also, I love the back view of the dress too. It had its own design, especially the large sleeves (wow), and not just some flat piece of cloth. I think the waist high pleated skirt you wore was too long for you.
This was very informative. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how this is done. Thank you 🖤
Ah, this was the style used in Love Like the Galaxy!
Thank you so much for this! The way that you showed and explained everything is extremely helpful and informative 💖
是这样的,日本和韩国的传统服饰都是受中国汉服影响的,我们中国传统服饰是汉服不是旗袍谢谢,我不想再让大家误解我们的传统服饰了谢谢😊
Thank you for your video! I appreciate hanfu and learning the different types of hanfu and how to wear them is fascinating. ❤
Video in English and I can understand it. Dress is beautiful
You will nvr know how happy i am to encounter ur channel. Im lately learning mandarin from scratch. As a non native speaker,i found it vry disappointing as i find it vry hard to learn. I gave up for a couple of month now but i do feel guilty bcz i feel like i failed to get to know my ancestors. I was born in a mix family & not evn my late grandma can speak any chinese. I really want to know where i came from,who i am. And ur videos give me high hopes. It almost feel like,i have someone/somewhere to turn to when i feel lost. And now i am a new follower of yours ❤❤❤
**Oh youtube for once in my life,i am vry thankful for ur algorithm**😂
See how much effort you spent for making those videos. Great channel. Definitely deserves more subscriptions ❤️ Love from Vietnam
Yet another amazing and informative video. Thank you! I learned that I've been making my piece skirts since I've just been sewing them up the side like many Western skirts. Seeing it being put on and the different ways to tie it has enlightened me greatly and I'll aspire to be more accurate in my future sewing endeavors. Thank you!
Added to "favorites" last month, by the way. I may also comment that the color combinations could be endless, limited only by the possible inappropriateness of certain colors within the Qin and Han dynasties, or in Chinese culture in general. I'd like to see one in dark green with a dark green skirt and, perhaps light blue or tan or white trim, but I don't know if that might be a cultural representation (e.g. white for funerals, red for weddings, etc.)
Another request ... how about the meanings of various colors within the culture, and whether they are strictly or generally or optionally recognized?
I have watched several of your video's. Thank you for all the research you do to allow us overseas Chinese to understand and appreciate hanfu. keep up your good work. Do you know where I can buy the undergarments? They look so comfortable as PJ's.
Thank you! The undergarments were indeed PJs in ancient times. Most of my hanfu items were ordered online on Taobao.com and shipped to the U.S.
I fin it easier to buy cotton fabric and make my own, usually the trousers with both the wrap top for winter and a camisole style top for summer. You can also use lightweight or heavier weight (I use voile in summer and poplin in winter) depending on where you live. Northern Chinese clothing was often wool or padded cotton especially in winter for this reason.
Very beautiful and modest.
Thank u so much for making this video I absolutely love ur culture so much and as soon as I got the outfits I had no idea how to put them on so thank u so much for this perfect explanation on everything, I truly appreciate it
wonderful costume ...
Thank you for this! I have a costume outfit that includes a top based around a hanfu (much less sturdy as it as mass reproduced). This tutorial helped me be able to put it on!
Thank you I really needed help
Amei o seu vídeo, obrigada por colocar legendas .❤
Siiim
太美啦
This is absolutely Stunning! Love Chinese Hanfu
很美
To be honest,看见有人在TH-cam channel上展现中国的传统文化,着实可贵,许多文化国人自己都已忘却!
OH! Chinese clothes SO AMAZING.IWANNA WEAR THESE CHINESE TRADITIONAL CLOTHES!
Beautiful and elegant. 😘😘
支持UP主,支持汉服复兴
Very elegant. I could see this being worn to a high-school prom many years ago when I was young. Nowadays, the wearer would probably be ejected for not showing enough skin. But this is very elegant and very well presented. I wonder, what sort of shoes/footwear is traditionally worn, and, in rainy or wet weather, how does one keep the shoes and skirts clean?
I would totally wear hanfu to my prom if I could go back in time! I wear ballet flats or Chinese embroidered shoes with hanfu. I've seen models wearing modern heals and I think it looks nice too. In ancient times, people tuck their skirts into the belt when working in the field. Of course they wear long pants underneath so they would not be showing any skin.
I find so many shoes from amazon you just type Chinese shoes. I am not Chinese but love wearing those shoes so pretty and comfortable.
The Resurrection of Hanhu represents growing confidence in Chinese culture.
I like this costume
I Love this beautiful ancient chinese things. Im brasilian and my dream is show more this to people. Im making my own clothes. ❤❤
so beautiful!
Thank you! I didn't know how these were worn, this helped alot for me trying to understand how to right it! ^^
Very beautiful clothing and thank you for the explanation of the parts and how to pit them on.
I note that all the Hanfu costumes look very comfortable, no body restrictions...
Thanks for sharing...💖💝💐
thank you for sharing this video
Very detailed description of the clothing and the way one wears them! Easy to understand and informative! Please make more videos like that! :)
So glad to have discovered your channel!
I have a question about the jiao long style collar/ crossed collar. Should it be left over right? I have been reading materials that say right over left , but I thought that was for funerals? Please help!
Looks like left over right from your video, I guess I just want clarification. I don't want to make a mistake. OTL
I'm in love with your videos and the styles! You're so graceful :D
I just got my first hanfu and I have no idea how to wear it so this is extremely helpful
Gorgeous.
So beautiful 😍❤️❤️😍
I love this video! I'm planning to wear a hanfu to my college's cultural festival soon so I'm doing as many research as I could before getting one! Your video helps so much, thanks :)
A new subbie here! :~)
You have a great channel! Can you do a video about the Yuan dynasty?
Thank you Bernard! Yuan Dynasty is established by Mongol nomads. It's a short-lived but unique dynasty. And what they wore is a combination of traditional Mongolian dress and hanfu. I shall look into it more. :)
CulturAllyy Thank you very much!
I would to see the Jiaoling Ruqun from the Song Dynasty, it’s one of my favorites types of Hanfu
watching Alchemy of Souls on Netflix got me curious about the dress. How they manage to walk without getting it dirty below and do they wear it on special occassion or everyday
good
好美。
Thank you for this video!
That looks so beautiful 😊😊
我爱了
WowAmazing
Wow 你这儿的头发真漂亮啊!让我想起来了琅琊榜二的林溪
謝謝,我還沒看琅琊榜二,但是林奚的人物設定看起來真不錯呢
Is there shirt traditionally that overly long? If so, what is the reason behind the length?
The length usually doesn’t matter, the historical accurate quju is floor length with straight sleeves, the shorter version is a more modern version made for it to walk easier.
Its beautiful.....
Such valuable information!! Beautiful 😍 Thank you!
我们 海外华人 逢年过节 的时候 应该 穿 有4000年文明历史的 汉服,而不是那 低俗的 露大腿 撅屁股的 旗袍。(有的大妈 在大红大艳旗袍下面 竟然还穿一条 黑毛裤,奇丑无比)
Is there a Special meaning which hand has to be put over the other, when you Put them in Front of you? Or can you choose yourself right over left or the otherway around
Thank you for the video, but I find it a bit odd when comparing chinese culture to japanese culture. They say that most japanese culture come from China, but if that's the case why the japanese make getting dressed such a chore? During an interview for Memoirs of a Geisha Zhang Ziyi said that it required two people to put on a kimono and it took about an hour to put on a kimono due all of the layers and sashes. Anna Sawai who played Mariko in the 2024 Shogun tv series said that she was wearing 8 layers of kimonos during shooting. As I said it's a tad bit odd that the japanese claimed to admire simplicity but still made getting dressed so over the top complicated.
Really well done... I am tryng to imagine how to do this style in an ethereal and fairy like way... yet keep the sleeves out of the way for eating and driving.... Do you think they had half length sleeves or waistcoats on non-cerremonial occasions.
thank you for making this video. very useful for writers
Where you buy them?? Hanfu in general? 你在哪里买?
去淘宝看下重回汉唐的店家吧,中国第一个卖汉服的实体店。在国内很出名
买汉元素的话就去十三余小豆蔻儿那里买,在淘宝上
I order most of my hanfu from Taobao.com and ship them to the U.S. If you are new to hanfu, I would start with bigger shops such as 重回汉唐、花朝记、汉尚华莲 I personally really like designs from 踏云馆. Hope this helps :)
你用繁體字。謝了!
满足的旗袍!
Which period(dynasty) is this clothing?
luv gum spring and autumn period to han
I am recently so in lovee with hanfu and Chinese traditional clothing. I think it's beautiful and it makes the wearer look graceful and exquisite and sophisticated. In fact, i wish people are still wearing it in daily life now. I'm not a chinese but I just bought myself a Tang dynasty hanfu kinda like the one in the vid but without the outer coat and now I'm looking for a video on how to wear it cause the skirt kinda confuse me😅 Anyways it's toooo pretttyyyyy,i wish i could wear it outside without people looking at me weird cause you know, I'm not a chinese and all.
Hello, i have a question : wah ttype of fabric should i make my hanfu of, and where can i get them. i cant seem to find the right prints or embroidery on light weight fabrics..... thank you for all yoru videos. They are very informative :)
If I may ask, is that 1st. layer you put on (over the tshirt) what was historically the orignal underwear?
That's the middle wear. Historically from what I heard, Han dynasty didn't have underwear yet so they make this kind of "deep" clothing to properly cover the whole body. The historical one is long that cover up to the feet. This modern one she wore is short and require a skirt to go under it but there are also long ones being made too. Hanfu historically have at least 3 layers, underwear (replaced by modern underwear), middle wear (the white shirt that she wore), and outer wear.
@@hunglac7578 Thanks. In Film and Games, being that I am a bit of a history buff, I always notice how modern underwear and underwear concepts creep in. But I have no knowledge about asian historical clothing, so I do not know what or if any underwear was worn by them.
Are there any decent youtube videos truely covering historical chinese or asian clothing?
Can you find the pleated wrap skirt on Amazon?
OMG, this video really comes up in right time. Since I prepare the outfit for Consort Yu to perform in this May hanfu festival, and I am learning to do hairstyle in Qin Dynasty also how to dress nicely. Thank youuuu. Is it possible if you can introduce the hairstyle for noble woman in this Dynasty and what type of accessories they used ?
👍👍💯💯
Hi, i was wondering, these pieces of clothing are very big, how do you store them?
Some can be hang on hangers, the rest can be folded for storage. They are not that different from modern clothes ;)
I just want to know where you got this dress
談吐及氣質好像神韻主持人😍😍
謝謝
During Han dynasty, Han people usually wore one piece dress, not two piece clothes.
If you want buy HanFu,enter www.TaoBao.com,search HanFu,or if you want to buy good HanFu ,search 重回汉唐,华姿仪赏,汉尚华莲,十三余(good HanFu shops on TaoBao)
Where’s a good online shop to buy hanfu at?
Can anyone help me find a pattern for the outer robe?
What is the name of the top on 1:42? I know you said it, but how is it spelled? And where can I get one? I live in Sacramento, California if that helps at all. lol
Shenyi 深衣.
Is there a non ceremonial Shenyi?
Where can I buy? Thank you.
I am assuming most hanfu sewing patterns are in Mandarin and not English
This is wonderful! thanks for sharing!
Why are the ru sometimes tied on the right side instead of the left?
I saw this video explained: th-cam.com/video/27zvyYPw-Lo/w-d-xo.html
但是还是想纠正一下,就是其实这种形式是错误的正常来说是没有裙摆的
Your videos really make me feel like experiencing history through the clothes as well. Are there any historically accurate and reliable sources you could recommend to get clothes of my own?
Thank you..Ally..very nice and fun if I know how to make this garment..the first set of pants and
The top..where can I get this?😊 thanks again
Is it possible that the hanfu I received only has the shirt and the skirt?
Is this a particular type of hanfu?
Hanfu has many varieties of styles. The separate shirt and skirt style is actually more common. For example Qiyao Ruqun is one of them. I also did a video on that style, hope it helps :)
@@FiveThousandYears thank you 😊
