The Hanfu is the oldest of China's traditional clothes. Legend traces it back to over 4,000 years ago when Huangdi's consort, Leizu, made cloth with silk. It also had a far-reaching influence on neighboring Asian countries, such as Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. The Qipao evolved from the Manchu women's changpao ('long gown') of the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912). The Manchu ethnic people were also called the Qi people by the Han people; hence their long gown was named qipao ('Qi gown') #china #chinese #h
