This summer, most Chinese citizens have been amazed by women wearing hanfu, or Hanstyle clothing, at subway stations, shopping malls, pedestrian streets or scenic areas.Hanfu has aroused a public attention in recent years, especially among young people.
In 2018, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China (CCCYL) set the third day of the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar, traditionally the birthday of the Chinese people's mythological (神话的) ancestor the Yellow Emperor, as the annual Traditional Chinese Garment (服装) Day.It was aimed to promote classic Chinese culture, as well as “demonstrating cultural confidence”.Since then, the beauty of hanfu has gained more and more recognition and acceptance by common people.
Generally, hanfu refers to traditional Chinese garments worn by the Han nationality before the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).Historically, Han Chinese clothing has also influenced some of its neighboring cultural costumes, including the Japanese kimono, Korean hanbok, and clothing of Mongolia, Vietnam and Bhutan.
Hanfu appears elegant and beautiful, not only due to the thousands of years of culture behind its design.This traditional dress also stands out because of its remarkable craftsmanship, from fabric to decoration.Hanfu adopts more than 30 examples of China's invisible cultural heritage as well as Chinese arts and crafts under preservation.
Hanfu represents not only appreciation of the beauty, but also a continuation of traditional Chinese culture.Nowadays, more and more fashion designers look to hanfu for inspiration, producing fashionable examples of hanfu for a new era (纪元).
