Stylish, beautiful, and downright cool, Chinese clothing has influenced everything from the Japanese Kimono and Korean Hanbok to outfits in movies like Star Wars. Research indicates that Chinese clothing started to take shape during the Xià 夏 dynasty (2200 BC), and lasted until the Míng 明 dynasty (1368-1644).when it was forcibly replaced by Manchu styles (1644-1911). Pre-Qīng clothing is referred to as Hàn fu (汉服 sometimes called 衣裳 Yī shang), or the traditional dress of the Han Chinese people. Many people equate “traditional” Chinese clothing to the popular Qí páo (旗袍) or Cheongsam (长衫), however these are Manchu styles and not the form of clothing worn by Chinese people for thousands of years.
