Look at this. Not really!

Japanese ancient culture almost completely imitated Tang Wenhua. During the "flying bird period" (6th century to 7th10), Japan experienced a historic "great change and new change" (635), which opened the door to learn from China in an all-round way. In the following 300 years, a large number of "Tang envoys" and monks, scholars, craftsmen and technicians traveled eastward.

Japanese kimono was formed on the basis of introducing and absorbing Chinese clothing in Tang Dynasty. Kimono has always been called "Tang suit" internationally. Although slightly modified, it still retains the basic characteristics of traditional Chinese clothing: the top is connected with the skirt, with no collar, straight buttons, wide sleeves, belt and no buttons. However, there are some differences between the kimono in the Tang Dynasty and the standard Hanfu. Compared with Hanfu in real history, Japanese "Tang Fu" is a little introverted and stingy, lacking the tolerant, atmospheric, confident and arrogant style of real Tang Fu, which is also caused by the environment. After all, the islanders did not have the broad mind and broad mind of China people in the Tang Dynasty. The most ironic thing is that Gu Hongming, who has been dragging his pigtails all his life and pretending to be a loyal minister of the Manchu Dynasty, came to Japan to see Japanese laws and regulations and cultural relics, and sighed with tears: Japanese talents are the real China people in the Tang Dynasty, and Japanese culture is the real Tang Wenhua.

Besides Japanese kimono, Korean and Vietnamese national costumes are also influenced by Hanfu. For thousands of years since the founding of the People's Republic of Korea and Viet Nam, China has been regarded as an example to follow, and its culture, classics, costumes and hairstyles are similar to those of China. In terms of costumes, especially the royal gowns, the royal gowns of princes and ministers are almost the same as those of China in the Han Dynasty. They are copies of the royal gowns of emperors and ministers, but they are stingy in shape, because North Korea and Viet Nam are vassal countries of China, and they have certain courtesy in the use of the clothing system, which cannot exceed the suzerain country.

Hanbok was initially mainly influenced by China's Tang Dynasty costumes. In this regard, there is a record in the history books: "Be polite and learn from China". During the Tang Dynasty, Silla had very close contacts with the Tang Dynasty, and its clothing characteristics were almost the same as those of the Tang Dynasty. The development of Hanbok personality began in Li's middle period in Korea. Since then, Hanbok, especially women's clothing, has gradually developed into high-waisted skirts, and the difference between Hanbok and China clothing has gradually increased. However, official dresses, court dresses and other important dresses still have China characteristics.
