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
Who injected a cute soul into the Tang Dynasty Women's beizi (outer garment) for autumn and winter? It’s the adorable national treasure of China — the panda. This Tang Dynasty-style Hanfu takes brown-toned pandas as the eye-catching highlight and matches them cleverly with gray-green hues, being both sweet and cute while brimming with autumn and winter vibes.
Beizi: It uses woolen fabric with plush lining, and the edges are trimmed with brown fur strips, firmly capturing the warm texture of autumn and winter. Under the bamboo branches, pandas are dotted with tiny snowflakes, creating a beautiful winter scene; the embroidery of pandas and bamboo adopts the three-dimensional appliqué embroidery technique with plush fabric, doubling both the texture and cuteness.
Cross-collar shirt: Made of soft fabric, a circle of plush decorates the cuffs, full of winter warmth.
Eight-panel skirt: It uses soft and skin-friendly twill brushed fabric, with bamboo patterns embroidered on the hem. The skirt hem adopts a hand-made lace design, adding a touch of fairy charm to the whole.
Panda purse: Made of soft teddy fleece fabric, the bag is embroidered with the cute pattern of a panda eating bamboo, which is lovely and full of fun.
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.
