Back then, action scenes were real action scenes, and the sleeves? They were actually tied up properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog post, let\u2019s dive into the historical practicality behind this detail and explore what ancient people really used to tie their sleeves when wearing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/\">Hanfu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2160. Armguards and Sleeve Ties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The practice of tying up sleeves has historical roots. In martial contexts, the technique is essentially a <strong>simplified version of armguards<\/strong>; in everyday life, it evolved from something known as <strong>panbo (\u897b\u818a)<\/strong>, a cloth wrap used to secure the sleeves for work or movement. We\u2019ve briefly mentioned this item in earlier posts, but never gone into detail about how it was actually worn\u2014so let\u2019s explore it now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The earliest known examples of armguards, typically seen in <strong>military or combat settings<\/strong>, date back to the Warring States period. Archaeological finds from that era include <strong>bronze armguards<\/strong> that resemble early versions of the cylindrical protective gear used in later periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-494.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5863\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another well-known example of historical <strong>arm protection<\/strong> is the Han Dynasty textile armguard famously embroidered with the phrase \u201c\u4e94\u661f\u51fa\u4e1c\u65b9\u5229\u4e2d\u56fd (Five Stars Rising in the East, Benefiting China )\u201d. This particular piece, made from brocade, is one of the <strong>most iconic examples <\/strong>of fabric-based armguards. It was worn by slipping it onto the forearm and securing it with attached fabric ties. In some cases, <strong>leather and other materials<\/strong>&nbsp;were also used to make similar protective gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"594\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-496.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5865\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In comparison, what we often see in historical dramas today is a more simplified version\u2014just a cloth strip tied around the sleeve.<strong>&nbsp;While this specific tying method isn\u2019t fully verified by historical sources<\/strong>, it\u2019s certainly a practical and easy way to manage long sleeves in day-to-day or action-heavy scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"658\" height=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-498.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5867\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"656\" height=\"373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-500.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5869\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2161. Tying Sleeves with Panbo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another classic method seen in historical dramas is the use of panbo\u2014a time-tested accessory on screen. As scholar Shen Congwen notes in <em>Studies on Ancient Chinese Clothing<\/em>, during the Song Dynasty, laborers or performers would <strong>tie up their long sleeves with cords<\/strong>, looping them over the shoulders to keep their arms free. This method was known specifically as \u201cpanbo\u2019er (\u897b\u818a\u513f)\u201d and became widely used in daily life, especially for physical work or outdoor activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"608\" height=\"245\" src=\"http:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-503.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5872\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were a couple of ways to use panbo: one was simply looping the tie around the arm like a band (left); the other involved crossing the cord behind the back and tying it in front to keep the sleeves secure (right).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"581\" height=\"387\" src=\"http:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-506.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5875\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The popularity of panbo even gave <strong>rise to a small industry<\/strong>&nbsp;in the Song Dynasty. According to Zhou Mi\u2019s <em>Wulin Jiushi<\/em>&nbsp;vendors who specialized in repairing everyday items\u2014like pots, stoves, and buckets\u2014also offered and mended panbo. This shows how common and essential these sleeve-tying accessories were at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"660\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-508.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5877\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why do we think ancient people might have simply used <strong>cords or fabric strips<\/strong> to tie their sleeves or secure wrist guards? Because historical records and artworks give us clues that this was quite common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, in the famous <strong>painting<\/strong> <em>Emperor Taizong Receiving the Tibetan Envoy<\/em>, we can clearly see<strong> tied cords<\/strong> positioned near the lower part of the skirt. These ties had two purposes: to <strong>prevent the skirt from coming undone<\/strong>, and to<strong> help lift the hem when needed<\/strong>\u2014for example, to make movement easier or to avoid dragging the fabric on the ground. It&#8217;s a clever and functional bit of design, showing just how detailed and practical ancient clothing could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"658\" height=\"428\" src=\"http:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-511.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5880\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This same approach appears in <strong>historical dramas<\/strong> too, where characters sometimes tie ribbons just below the chest to help keep their skirts in place\u2014a method not so different from the lower ties, and equally effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"553\" height=\"323\" src=\"http:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-513.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5882\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even today, people use similar tricks in daily life\u2014tying their sleeves with<strong> ribbons, cords, or even hair ties <\/strong>to keep them out of the way. Some use safety pins or brooches as quick fixes. These methods serve the same purpose as modern sleeve bands or arm covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-515.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5884\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, these techniques generally work best with slightly narrower sleeves. If you try this with extremely wide sleeves (like the grand flowing ones in some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkdivas.com\/\">Hanfu<\/a> styles), the excess fabric can bunch up under the arms, which isn\u2019t very comfortable over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So next time someone asks you, \u201cHow do people even live in Hanfu with those huge sleeves?\u201d \u2014 here\u2019s what you tell them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, not all Hanfu have wide sleeves \u2014 many styles feature slim, practical sleeves perfect for daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, if you do find yourself in a flowy-sleeved emergency, just grab a string! Problem solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 4 easy ways to secure your Hanfu sleeves in everyday situations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>1. Magnetic clasps <\/em><\/strong>\u2013 snap on and go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>2. Add elastic bands in the cuff<\/strong> <\/em>\u2013 hidden but effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>3. Cloth tie or traditional armguards<\/strong> <\/em>\u2013 inspired by ancient solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>4. Modern sleeve cuffs or even a hair tie<\/em> <\/strong>\u2013 quick, simple, and functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Got a favorite trick of your own?
