That movement developed in China since 2003.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Han Chinese clothing was changed drastically during the Manchu-led Qing dynasty. The Hanfu movement seeks to restore the dress and attire and aesthetic sensibilities of Han Chinese dress from previous eras recognized as high points for Han culture - principally the Ming, Tang, Song and Han.

It is a social movement which aims at popularizing hanfu and integrating traditional Chinese elements into the design of modern clothing, as a way to promote traditional Chinese culture.[1][8] Participants and supporters of the Hanfu Movement call themselves tongpao (同袍);[1] a term, which comes from the Shijing:[1][9]
How shall it be said that you have no clothes? I will share my long robes with you. [豈曰無衣、與子同袍。] When the king is raising his forces, I will prepare my lance and spear and be your comrade. [王于興師、脩我戈矛、與子同仇。]
— 《無衣 - Wu Yi》, Shijing, Odes of Qin
The term tongpao is literally translated as "wearing the same style of robe" and is also a pun of tongbao (同胞) meaning "fellow compatriots".[1]
