The system of Tang Dynasty women's Hanfu (618-907 AD) combined traditional ritual norms with inclusive cultural traits, absorbing Hu-style elements while preserving Hanfu's essence—this integration is well-documented in The New Book of Tang: Records of Chariots and Costumes. It had three core styles reflecting social roles and daily needs:
1. Ruqun (Core Style of Tang Women's Hanfu)
As the most common style, Ruqun consisted of a short jacket ("ru") and a long skirt ("qun"). The ru had diverse collars (cross-collar, front-opening) and sleeve widths: narrow sleeves (Hu-influenced) for commoners’ daily work, wide sleeves for nobles’ elegance. The qun often used "po qun" (segmented skirt) design for fullness; nobles wore silk skirts in bright hues (crimson, emerald) with gold embroidery, while commoners used linen in plain white/gray.
2. Banbi (Casual Outer Garment)
A short-sleeved (elbow-length) outer wear, Banbi paired with Ruqun. Its compact design (Hu-style origin) suited daily activities like weaving, favored by both nobles and commoners. Nobles chose thin silk, commoners coarse cloth.
3. Pibo (Essential Accessory)
A lightweight silk scarf, Pibo draped over shoulders. Nobles used brocaded Pibo for ceremonial occasions, commoners plain ones for daily wear—adding grace to the ensemble.
Overall Characteristics
-
Hierarchical distinction: Fabrics/colors signaled status (silk vs. linen, bright vs. plain).
-
Han-Hu integration: Narrow sleeves, Banbi reflected cultural openness.
-
Practicality & ritualism: Daily styles (Banbi-Ruqun) met needs, while embroidered Ruqun served ceremonies.
About this Tang Dynasty Women's Winter Hanfu
Banbi: Its patterns are restored from the Buddha’s light flame pattern and honeysuckle flame pattern in Dunhuang murals. The colors are as gorgeous as a dream, and every trace of hue carries a long history. The brown suede fabric at the hem connects quietly, with rich layers and outstanding texture. The inner layer adopts a fleece-lined design, making it still warm and comfortable even when worn in winter.
Yellow Cross-collar Ru: Made of twill brushed fabric, it feels soft and also provides warmth. The neckline and cuffs are carefully embellished with original pattern prints, and elegance and charm are fully revealed in the details.
Twenty-four-panel Qixiong Ruqun (High-waisted Qun): It uses a bold color contrast of red and green, and the printed pattern on the narrow skirt waistband echoes the overall style. When matched with the Tang-style Banbi as a set, it naturally has a mysterious and charming exotic flavor.
Finishing Touches with Tang Dynasty Hanfu Accessories: Details Define the Atmosphere
-
Pibo: Choose one in the same color (with different saturation) as the skirt or a contrasting color. It is about 2 meters long and draped naturally over both arms, which can modify the figure and add linear beauty.
-
Headpieces: For basic styles, use buyao (tasseled hairpins), chāi (hairpins), and zān (hairpins). In the Flourishing Tang period, you can style the wōduò jì (sloping bun) with gold ornaments; for formal occasions, add phoenix hairpins and pearl buyao.
-
Hanfu Shoes: Match them with “embroidered upturned-tip shoes”, with pearls or gemstones embellished on the shoe tips to echo the overall sense of luxury.
-
Atmosphere-enhancing Items: Holding a hand fan (round fan) or a palace lantern and wearing a jade waist belt can instantly create a classic atmosphere.
