Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study was to clarify the motional functionality of the Chinese ethnic clothing “Hanfu”. Subjective experiments on wearing three types of Hanfu from the Warring States Period, the Western Han Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty, and modern clothing were conducted to perform sensory evaluations and measure clothing pressures in different postures. The results demonstrated that the weight of clothing, the width of the body and pants, and the number of overlapping sheets have effects on clothing pressure, tightness, and difficulty in movement based on clothing pressures measured at 26 points across the entire body under 8 different postures. It is confirmed that over the course of history, the simplification of clothing has led to a gradual increase in motional functionality. Especially after the emergence of new lifestyles like horseback riding, a remarkable improvement in the motional functionality of lower wears was observed. Based solely on the structure of clothing, without using stretching materials, it was also found that Hanfu exhibits superior motional functionality in some cases compared to modern clothing, suggesting the significance of researching the functionality of ethnic clothing.</p>
