hanfu

Historical styles of clothing worn by the Han Chinese before the mid-1600s. Most styles have a “y” shape collar, but there are also styles with a rounded collar.

There are several styles that are at times mistaken for kimono (most notably ruqun). You can typically distinguish between them based on the hairstyle and headwear. Males' hair may be pulled back into a simple ponytail or bun or held by a coronet. Emperors or princes may wear mian guan. If nothing else, huadian (forehead mark), or the circular fan is an easy distinguishing mark.

Hanfu differs from the Qing-era clothing of the mid-1600s to early 1900s. Hanfu refers to clothing worn before this era, when the ruling class was made up of the majority Chinese ethnic group, the Han. The Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Manchu ethnic minority. The pankou and mandarin collar style clothes, often simply referred to as Chinese clothes, are not hanfu, as they are not Han clothing, but in fact Manchu. This goes too for other ethnic minority clothing in China, such as Miao clothes or Uygur clothes. These fall under the umbrella of Chinese clothes, along with hanfu.
