The Hanfu was considered to be very important by the Han Chinese as far as their culture was concerned. It was also known that one has to follow the rules of dressing that belonged to the Hanfu styles, as a mark of respect. The basic style and design of the Hanfu were developed to a great extent in the Shang Dynasty. 十七世纪以前，古代中国服装，或者称为汉服，在服装界有着 久远的历史。汉服包含了那个时期中国人穿着的所有传统中国 服饰。对于汉朝的中国人来说，汉服对于它们的文化至关重要。 每个人都必须按照特定的穿衣规矩去穿着汉服，这是一种众所 周知的尊敬礼仪。汉服的基本风格设计在商朝定型，并得到了 巨大的发展。
