The name hanfu is given to pre-17th century traditional clothing of the Han Chinese, the country’s predominant ethnic group. Now more and more youngsters are falling in love with these pretty, artisanal robes with historical roots.

Hanfu is seeing a revival in interest, with elements related to the design of hanfu introduced in modern clothing styles and erciyuan culture, or a two-dimensional space, a term referring to anime, manga and games.

In the music video of “Yihonglian (Reminiscence of the Red Lotus),” virtual artist Luo Tianyi, the Chinese counterpart of Hatsune Miku, a persona of a Japanese voice-imitated project Vocaloid, who is now a global icon, dresses in a red-and-white hanfu and sings an ancient Chinese-style song.

The revival is also seen in the daily lives of people. During the National Day holiday, people, especially young girls, brighten up the streets and tourist attractions with their hanfu clothing.Xu Qinren, a local 29-year-old woman, wears hanfu clothing every day. While others put on shirts and jeans or modern clothes, she dresses herself in ruqun, a wrap-around skirt, and banbi, a form of waistcoat or outerwear worn over a ruqun with half-length sleeves.

“At the very beginning, I saw my friend dressed in hanfu and found it very beautiful,” Xu said. “Later I was taken to some events and then came to understand that there are deeper things behind these clothes, like Chinese clothing culture and etiquette.”

Her affection for hanfu grew through these activities and she began to study traditional Chinese culture in depth.Since some hanfu styles are suitable for daily wear, she has been dressing in hanfu for a long time.

“I believe that making hanfu daily wear is a real embracement of it, instead of placing them on a pedestal,” she said.She spends around 2,000 yuan a year on buying hanfu clothing.Xu thinks wearing hanfu every day can promote traditional Chinese culture.

“During the first few years that I became fond of hanfu, around 2010 to 2014, people often mistook what I wore as a Japanese kimono or Korean hanbok,” Xu said. “Every time I had to explain that it’s hanfu, our traditional clothes.

“But now I find more and more people understand what hanfu is and almost every pedestrian who saw my dress knows it’s hanfu. I feel very proud of it.”

She even took hanfu as her wedding dress. Her husband also wore hanfu to the ceremony, which follows traditional han people’s marriage customs. Hanfu culture gathers her and many friends with the same interest.

“The friendship that generates from the same interest is very pure and stable,” said Xu. “My friends and I also established a group for han dance. We learn han dance together and organize various cultural events during traditional festivals to promote han culture.”
