Japanese kimono was inspired by China? How does Hanfu culture affect Japanese clothing?

Japanese kimono evolved from the clothing of Tang Dynasty in China. I don't know that Hanfu culture has influenced Japan. Accurately speaking, the whole history of Japanese development is a history of learning from China before the modern industrial revolution. Japan's preservation of ancient culture is very complete. Because there is no saying of changing dynasties in Japan, there is no so-called cultural inheritance change, which is also the main reason why their culture can be completely preserved from ancient times to the present.

In the Tang Dynasty, China was the center of the world, and the Japanese sent many missions to China to establish diplomatic relations with China. In fact, the purpose of establishing diplomatic relations is to please the Tang Dynasty, then stay in China to study the culture of China, and then bring the essence of China culture back to Japan, thus improving the social environment in Japan. Hanfu was introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Japanese clothing was completely imitated from the Tang Dynasty.

Later, with the collapse of the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains and the war against China, Japan stopped its contacts with China and started its own development. For a long time after that, Japan had little contact with China, so it was less influenced by later generations. Japan's own culture has gradually taken shape. In the process of the formation of Japan's own culture, due to the differences in social environment, geographical environment and economic situation, the culture has gradually evolved from the initial Tang suit to some practical changes. Like the one behind the Japanese kimono? Small pillow? It is naturally developed locally.

There are many similar examples, such as the famous mountain city, which evolved from tangdao. Nowadays, many tangdao in our country are called imitation mountain cities, which is actually a manifestation of illiteracy, because over time, mountain cities are different from tangdao in many details, but the overall change is very small. Because tangdao is not well-known in China, it is mistaken for imitating the Japanese mountain city.

Generally speaking, Japanese kimono is not only inspired by China, but also influenced by costume culture. It can be said that the foundation of Japanese social culture is based on China culture.
