Hanfu Photo-shoot Experience

Hanfu is a general term for traditional Chinese clothing, encompassing various styles from different dynasties. Before the Qing Dynasty, Hanfu was characterized by wide robes, broad sleeves, and crossed collars with the right side over the left, reflecting an elegant and dignified aesthetic. During the Qing Dynasty, the ruling Manchu introduced Qi-style clothing, with men wearing long robes and mandarin jackets (Ma Gua), while women wore Qi Pao (cheongsam). These garments were more form-fitting, had narrower sleeves, and featured elaborate embroidery, especially in the imperial court.
