That's so awesome, man. Yes, indeed, China has a very long history and many styles or regalia.
Is there anything in Chinese clothing that is similar to Japanese Kimono ?
旗袍是最好的女人
So this type of hair style derives from nomads?
If every piece of your body is from your parents then why shave your hair?
I mean is there any particular reason for this hairstyle? I have seen old photos of China and I saw this hair style in the main cities.
Mostly from the Altaic people such as the Turco-Mongol and Tungusic people.
The Chinese people from the 1644-1911 period also had this haircut because our Emperors had the Altaic background, thus they enforced the regular citizens also to bear the same haircut and dress as them.

Thank you for your replies. Always great to get wiser on a topic that you know little about.
So what was the pre-Qing Dynasty traditional clothing/hair styles in China? Are there not big regional differences in traditional China? I mean between North and South?
对我来说传统旗袍比现代旗袍最好。
To be honest i don't like that hair style, shaving all the hair and keeping some hair in the middle of the head.

呉服 enough said. He should bow to me lol. I am direct descendant of Wu kingdoms. Wu is pronounced Ng is our dialect, I think similar to Cantonese (I might be wrong.)

To be honest, some modern Chinese girls don't look very appropriate to wear the Hanfu.
Just like some actors/actresses are more appropriate to play the ancient drama/movie than others.
