A Study On The Origin And Pattern Of Hanfu

Han Fu shows the spiritual world of literati at Han dynasty. The authors integratetheir value orientation and attitudes towards life into Han Fu to record theirexperience in the reality and express their special feeling to the world. This processnot only presents the relatively intact personal values and emotions of literati at Handynasty, but also exposes their collective value system. This bears close relation to theDaoism they received, especially the ideas in Zhuangzi. So to speak, Zhuangziprovides spiritual salvation for literati who are helpless confronted with social reality,which makes them rethink the world and remade their life. Simultaneously, the ideasin Zhuangzi are also like a Paradise Lost for literati at Han dynasty. They gallop in itfreely.Additionally, the authors of Han Fu stylize the features of Song Yu Fu so thatthey can elaborately praise and also hide their purpose of persuading the monarch,which produces a special fashion of literati at Han dynasty to express their thinking.The thesis will be divided into two parts. Firstly, it discusses the influence ofZhuangzi on Han Fu and the theme formed by it. Lastly, the thesis probes into theinfluence of Song Yu Fu on Han Fu and the pattern dug by it.
