What does Hanfu mean?

The capitals of the Han Dynasty were Chang'an, Luoyang, Xuchang, and Nanyang.

The Han Dynasty (202 BC to 220 AD) was a unified dynasty after the Qin Dynasty. It was divided into the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty. It had 29 emperors and lived for 405 years.

During the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and proclaimed himself emperor, establishing the Han Dynasty with its capital in Chang'an, known as the Western Han Dynasty in history. In 8 AD, Wang Mang deposed Han Ruzi and established the capital in Chang'an, which was known as Xinmang in history. The Western Han Dynasty was destroyed.

In 25 AD, Liu Xiu reestablished the Han Dynasty and made Luoyang the capital, which was known as the Eastern Han Dynasty in history. In AD 190, warlords arose everywhere and the world was in chaos. In 220 AD, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and made Luoyang the capital. It was called Cao Wei in history and the Han Dynasty fell.

Han Dynasty Clothing

The clothes of the Han Dynasty were mainly Hanfu, including robes, 蜜褕 (straight single clothes), jackets (short clothes), and skirts. In the Han Dynasty, because the weaving and embroidery industry was very developed, rich people could wear beautiful clothes made of silk and satin. Most people wear short clothes and long trousers, while poor people wear short brown clothes (short clothes made of coarse cloth). Women in the Han Dynasty wore two-piece skirts and robes, and there were many styles of skirts. The most famous one was the "Liuxian skirt".
