Hanfu implications request

BUR #31411 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create implication qixiong_ruqun -> hanfu
create implication ruqun -> hanfu
create implication duijin_ruqun -> hanfu
create implication jiaoling_ruqun -> hanfu
create implication aoqun -> hanfu
create implication zhijupao -> hanfu

All of these dresses/costumes are pre-qing era chinese clothing. They're listed under hanfu on wikipedia and here on danbooru. Theres a lot of posts that have one of these tagged but not hanfu, making finding them hard if youre looking for general hanfu.

Maybe on a related topic, what is the purpose of having chinese clothes and hanfu separate? Hanfu is not a specific clothing but a category of clothing that the Han Chinese wears, and since Han is the largest percentage of Chinese, we could say Hanfu is basically Chinese clothes.

Wait, hanfu doesn't imply Chinese clothes?

It does, what I'm proposing is an alias.

Ah, sorry. Misread. Personally, I don't know enough about the topic to have an opinion. Just that hanfu tends to be used in the same way kimonos tend to be in Chinese works.

I see that wafuku is aliased to japanese clothes. I think aliasing hanfu to chinese clothes should be fine.

@zaregoto No, no, no, no please don't do that. Hanfu is a very distinct thing. So, hanfu is chinese clothes, yes, but it's clitjes worn before the qing dynasty, so much older than what we generally think of as chinese clothes. Qipao and changpao are also chinese clothes, but theyre not hanfu. Hanfu was repressed by law for a very long time during the qing dynasty, where han chinese were required by law not to wear it. Hanfu is Han chinese clothing, chinese clothing encompasses all chinese ethnic groups clothings, like manchu and miao clothing, and so on. Please read more about it, it's very interesting stuff.
