In addition, the Confucius Temple in Nanjing is also famous throughout the country and is one of the four major Confucian temples in China. It is as famous as the Confucius Temple in Qufu and the Confucian Temple in Beijing. It was not only the cultural and educational center of Nanjing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also the largest cultural and educational building complex in the southeastern provinces.

A poetic piece.

While visiting the Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Area, what impressed us deeply was not only the profound culture, the long history, the tempting food, but also the ubiquitous ancient costumes (or Hanfu), and Unlike people in other places who wear Hanfu just to take pictures, Nanjing people in the Confucius Temple area seem to enjoy wearing Hanfu. Wearing this kind of clothing makes them feel comfortable.

The so-called Hanfu is not the costume of the Han Dynasty, but the traditional national costume of the Han nationality, also known as Hanfu and Huafu. Mainly refers to the unique Chinese nation formed through natural evolution based on the Chinese (also known as the Han nation after the Han Dynasty) national culture in the nearly 4,000 years from about the 21st century BC to the middle of the 17th century AD (the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty). The cultural style and character are different from the decorative system of traditional clothing of other ethnic groups; in other words: "Han traditional clothing" is worn by the Chinese (Han) nation from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Ming Dynasty, and has a strong Chinese (Han) nationality A general term for a series of Chinese (Han) national costumes in style.

Hanfu is one of the oldest ethnic costumes in the world. According to "Historical Records", Chinese clothes were made by the Yellow Emperor. "Before the Yellow Emperor, there were no clothes or houses. And the Yellow Emperor built houses, made clothes, and organized funerals, so that all the people were saved from the difficulty of survival." ("Historical Records" Volume 1 The Chronicles of the Five Emperors) First) About five thousand years ago, during the Yangshao Culture period of the Neolithic Age, China had primitive agriculture and textile industries. They began to use woven linen to make clothes. Later, they invented silkworms and silk spinning. People The clothes and clothes are becoming more and more perfect day by day.

From the Zhou Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the basic characteristics of Han people’s clothing have not changed much over the past three thousand years. During the Yellow Emperor's time, crowns appeared and the clothing system gradually took shape. After the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the crown service system was initially established, and during the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was gradually completed. In the late Zhou Dynasty, due to the rapid changes in politics, economy, ideology and culture, especially the Hundred Schools of Thought which had a certain influence on the improvement of clothing, the clothes and customs of the princely states began to be obviously different. And create deep clothing. The system of crowns and uniforms was included in the scope of "rule by etiquette" and became an expression of etiquette. From then on, China's system of crowns and uniforms became more detailed. It was not until the increasing influence of Western civilization on our country in modern times that Hanfu gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

With the continuous development of our country's economy, people gradually realize that what belongs to the nation belongs to the world. While increasing the protection and inheritance of minority culture, the excavation and inheritance of Han culture have also increased. As a result, many Hanfu communities and circles began to appear among the people. Everyone took pleasure in Hanfu and enjoyed the return of culture. As a result, Hanfu craze gradually formed across the country.

This phenomenon of Hanfu craze is especially obvious in the Qinhuai River scenery belt of Confucius Temple in Nanjing. They feel that wearing ancient costumes and visiting the ancient capital will have more charm, with thick blue bricks, stretching city walls, and spectacular The city tower complements the gorgeous Hanfu. According to one of the beautiful women in palace clothes, she has five sets of ancient costumes at home. Every weekend, she takes off her work clothes, puts on Hanfu, and invites friends to go together. Stroll along the Qinhuai River in Confucius Temple, look for delicious food together, take beautiful photos together, and enjoy this eye-catching life in Hanfu. There are many young men and women like her around her. Everyone wears Hanfu as ordinary clothes, not for festivals or events, but for their own fun. It has become an indispensable part of their lives. In Yu Fan’s view, this craze for Hanfu is also a concrete manifestation of cultural confidence.
