Ruqun

Ruqun (Chinese: 襦裙) is a set of traditional Han Chinese clothing which consists of a short jacket typically called rú (襦) worn under a long Chinese skirt called qún (裙). It has also become a general term to describe hanfu which consists of a separated upper garment and a wrap-around lower skirt, replacing the generic term yīcháng (衣裳). In this sense, ruqun can include the shanqun (衫裙) and aoqun (袄裙; 襖裙) in its definition.

The ruqun was worn by both men and women; it was however primarily worn by women. It is the traditional Hanfu for the Han Chinese women. The aoqun and/or ruqun is the most basic set of clothing of Han Chinese women in China and has been an established tradition for thousands of years. Various forms and style of Chinese trousers, referred broadly under the generic term ku, can also be worn under the ruqun.
