Oh, she's avoiding saying where Han women's two-piece, shirt and skirt, come from. She is incorrectly introducing them as the traditional clothing of Han women. But, the traditional clothing of Han women is one-piece dress. She can never explain the development history of that two-piece. That's because Korean Goryeo clothing was introduced during the Yuan Dynasty and became popular until the Ming Dynasty. Mongolians and Han Chinese called the trend "Gaoli yang" or "Gaoli feng". The trend continued until the 9th Emperor Hongchi of the Ming Dynasty banned it. They are not the traditional clothes of Han women, but the traditional clothes of Korean women. If I'm wrong, someone please explain the history of that two-piece. I think this video promotes China's position in the deepening historical and cultural disputes between Korea and China. This video is propaganda for China by an unscrupulous historian and a silly KZbinr.

the Chinese clothing of the early 1900s during warlord period are actually REALLY fascinating. you have Qing style clothing, but people are cutting off their "queue" haircut for modern western ones, there's also a lot of western influences as suits and frills becomes popular, some Han people are also going reactionary to wear Ming style clothing(Yuan Shi Kai was coronated as emperor in Ming style clothing), and a lot of important people that shaped 20th century China from politicians to authors were educated in Japan, so they brought over Taisho Era Japanese fashion as well, some of them are still worn today, example includes: short silk Ma Gua with trousers, ZhongShan suit(aka. military uniform cut suits, named after Sun Yat Sen, later worn by Mao) for men, Qi Pao for women, cloth shoes(mostly associated as Kung Fu shoes, but a lot of older people wears them), and of course, no good gentleman or lady can go without a a smoking piper and a Mauser broomhandle pistol.

Mongol, Manchu, and Koreanic traditional dress demonstrates their ancestry. They were horse-riding semi-nomadic people, so naturally their clothing, hairstyle, musical instruments, hobbies, jewelry, and cuisine reflected their lifestyle. When ancient Chinese historians wrote 胡服騎射, they were referring to these nomadic people in the north.

In Hong Kong, Qing-style clothing or clothing with strong elements of Qing-style lingered on. Those Qing-style clothing appeared in Lunar New Year Festivals, weddings, kungfu performances, funeral undertakers, Cantonese Opera singing (when not wearing the full costume) etc. The recent "hanfu" trend from China tries to abandon these Qing-style clothing. So they are less seen in New Year wearing now in Hong Kong.

@@Satu-zs7gm Please look up 'Susan-ri Rock Paintings', tomb painting featuring the Go-guryeo (37 BC- 668AD) woman's clothing that already had pleated skirt with wrapping upper wear that is tied around the waist. Historical records of Yuan (Mongolian dyansty) and subsequent Ming mentioned Goryeo style clothes being popular in their courts. Goryeo(918-1392) is the continuation of Go-guryeo which had already changed its offical name to Goryeo under King Jangsu (394-491). All the previous Chinese dynasties did not feature this type of clothing while Goguryeo uniquely maintained it (Two pieces, consisted of upper wear that has wrapping closure and lower pleated skirt. Under wear is trousers)

Moreover, title, loyalty, and tribute were manners and justice stemming from religious relationship with the emperor, the son of God, not China. It does not represent the cultural and political superiority of the two countries.

[@user-zc1oj1fn6f]

PS. Before the Han Dynasty, Gija was only recorded as a general or royal who went into hiding after the fall of the Shang Dynasty. But the Han Dynasty additionally recorded that he was appointed king of Gojoseon by the King of the Zhou Dynasty. Since then, various versions have emerged from various records. Korean Confucian scholars believed China's falsified records. However, in modern times where archeology has developed, Gija Joseon has been denied. There is absolutely no archaeological evidence for Gija Joseon, but rather, it is contrary to existing archaeological evidence. If there was Gija Joseon, relics similar to the Chinese style should have been discovered, but the relics from that time are still similar to the Siberian style. Therefore, it is assumed that the expansionist Han Dynasty fabricated history to secure the legitimacy of its rule over Gojoseon.

[@user-zc1oj1fn6f]

​@@user-fw1rj3fs7h 1. Han women's two-piece first appeared only during the period from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. 2. Yeah, the basic clothing of the Han Chinese was simple one-piece. 3. Pants first appeared during the Han Dynasty, which fought many wars with the northern peoples. Han men imitated the clothes of northern peoples and wore them in order to ride horses. The clothes were called "Hufu" and were distinguished from the clothes of the Han Chinese. In other words, it was not Han Chinese clothing. 4. Wearing a skirt or a pant underneath does not make it a two-piece. There were no separate tops corresponding to it. They were just underwear. 5. Skirts didn't even exist before the Tang Dynasty. There were just types of belts that only covered part of the body. Like an apron. 6. Skirts first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. However, a skirt was worn over a long gown or only a skirt was worn. In the first case, it was just a double one-piece dress. There was still no distinction between top and bottom. 7. During the North and South Kingdoms in Korea, Silla wore skirts over tops due to the influence of the Tang Dynasty. But it was just a different way of wearing it. Unlike the Tang Dynasty, it was still a traditional Korean two-piece. 8. In the Goryeo Dynasty, the influence of the Tang Dynasty disappeared and tops were worn over skirts again. This Goryeo clothing was introduced into the Yuan Dynasty. 9. What the Hongchi Emperor banned was not only Joseon's ponytail petticoat, but also Gaoli yang or Gaoli feng itself. 10. Gaoli yang or Gaoli feng, started in the palace and spread not only to the capital and its surrounding areas, but also to the provinces and became very popular. That's because the trend lasted for a very long time. 11. The clothing of Han women in the Song Dynasty was still similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. 12. Chinese characters originated from the Dongyi people of northern origin who lived in the Shandong Peninsula and nearby areas, not the Huaxia people. 13. The Chinese characters “衣” and “裳” first appeared during the Zhou Dynasty and refer to all types of clothing. However, because there have always been different ethnic groups with different clothes, sometimes it also had separate meanings as top or bottom. Those Chinese characters do not prove Han Chinese' two-piece. 14. In fact, "衣" means just clothing in various Chinese words that refer to sportswear, swimsuit, raincoat, etc. 15. Only some official uniforms for Goryeo and Joseon men followed the Chinese official uniform style. China had imposed on its neighbors a pseudo-religion that the emperor was the son of God. China believed that all the world under heaven belonged to the emperor, the son of God, and that their neighbors merely ruled on the emperor's behalf. So the emperor had his neighbors wear their official uniforms in the Chinese style. 16. I don’t care if you frame me and insult me. But don't slander and insult Korea and Koreans. In particular, it is very rude to call Gaoli, the Chinese pronunciation of Goryeo, goli. It's not good for you if you seem irrational. Refrain from expressing personal emotions.
