Abstract

Hanfu is the traditional dress of the Chinese nation, and China, as the center of the East Asian cultural circle, has been influencing the development of the culture of the neighboring countries. In this paper, the development history of Hanfu in the Tang and Song Dynasties is described from the perspective of cross-cultural communication. Taking Hanbok and Japanese Kimono as examples, this paper explores the cultural influence of Hanfu in the Tang and Song Dynasties in the East Asian region and its localization development path. Through the comparison of historical documents and dress forms, the paper explains the influence of Hanfu in the Tang and Song Dynasties on Korean Hanbok and Japanese kimono in terms of cutting techniques, pattern regulation and dress colors, and gives the inspiration of the spread of Hanfu in the Tang and Song Dynasties in East Asia.
