No, Chinese do not wear kimonos. Kimonos were Japanese. The Chinese originally wore Hanfu, loose robes belted at the waist with long sleeves, but when the Manchu took over in the Qing dynasty, women wore Qipao (tight, button-up dresses, the kind you usually see in Chinatown) and men wore Changshans (like Qipao, but looser, still button-up). Occasionally women would wear Changshans with feminine designs on them.

∙ 15y agoThis is a good question! Because it shows perfectly the confusion between culture of China and Japan in non-Asian countries. Firstly, kimono of today can only be found in Japan. Seconldy, kimono is originated from ancient Chinese cloths. Certainly today it represents more Japanese custom. Thirdly, let's come to the question itself. No matter it is Chinese or Japanese, it is just a traditional clothes heritage. It is hard to explain why. Just like it is hard to explain whey people wear tuksido for formal events in the west.
