I love seeing young people wear traditional Hanful on city streets. Embracing our culture and beauty.

If you go to neighbouring countries like Japan and South Korea, you can see people wear traditional clothes on special occasions outside like Coming of Age Day or weddings, on the trains or elsewhere, so why not? And you see ethnic minorities in China also sometimes wearing special costumes. And it doesn't have to be from one particular dynasty as China has a varied history which is what makes the country so interesting.

Hope young Chinese all start wearing them during major festivals, even men as well. For men, can adopt more utilitarian country style during temple dancing parades/龙舟 like men in traditional Japanese festivals rather than wearing modern t-shirts.

Not only in China, I've noticed more and more KZread channels dedicated to people who wear Victorian or Edwardian - and sometimes Regency or Georgian - fashions in their daily lives as well. Or later fashions such as those of the 1930s, 40s and 50s. The difference is that Chinese styles were not only much more attractive but also able to be adapted to be worn in modern times to fit in with modern lifestyles (thinking trains, escalators, buses, working in offices etc). Personally I think it is a great idea and the fashions of the past (in my opinion at least) are a lot more attractive than those of the present day.

It is not the same in the west. In the west it is seen as "cosplaying"

​@@GL-iv4rw yeah but the problem is that other people call it cosplaying when for the wearer it is just there outfit

Bought a few new Hanfu sets this year 🐉🐲🐉🐲🐉🐲

Hopefully fashion designers will develop an evolved style and material suitable for this modern lifestyle and era. Different style for different daily activities, formal, casual, etc

Guichao is definitely a real thing and not just made up by KZread. I knew someone living in China about 7 years ago and she was learning an ancient Chinese musical instrument then. It’s an interesting reflection of a growing Chinese attraction to their own culture,mprevious expressions included buying up Chinese antiques being auctioned in the West. As has been mentioned, interest in historical culture is also being expressed in the West. Not sure Gen Z is nostalgic but I think they are definitely not content with the values of the Boomer generation that has built the world in environmental and economic crisis that they now find themselves bequeathed.

These Hanfu enthusiast wears eclectic mixture of Hanfu from different dynasties resulting in clashes of design. For example one person wearing Hanfu from Tang dynasty, another person wearing Hanfu from Ming dynasty and another person wearing Hanfu from Han dynasty, etc. Historically people in one dynasty would not be wearing Hanfu from previous dynasties. If you are wearing Hanfu for the fun of it, I suppose is okay. But if you are serious about reviving the Hanfu then it should be from a single dynasty so that the design is uniform and I believe choosing Hanfu from the Ming dynasty as it is the last dynasty where Hanfu was worn. The time gap is about 380 years and there should be enough surviving clothing from that era for reference.

Have to disagree. Each dynasty had its own styles and fashions, some longer dynasties had multiple designs. We're basically living in a new "dynasty" so it should evolve to have its own style and design, not merely copy the Ming. And to evolve the Hanfu into a new style that marks this new era, the current enthusiasts should have the freedom to access and experiment with all the ancient dynasties available to familiarize themselves with the myriad of possibilities of this clothing.

I agree wholeheartedly. It'd be sensible to stick to Ming. Not only it is beautiful, regal, elegant and versatile. The most practical of all Hanfu. It's too confusing to try to demonstrate every Dynasty in Hanfu revival. It makes no sense.

To fiddle and to create a new style is like butchering the traditional dress. It's not a cosplay.

@@Orwellian-Purple-Grapes-1984 Due to Manchu invasion of China, the Chinese people were stopped from wearing Hanfu since then. So wearing of Hanfu was discontinued. If Ming dynasty was not overthrown, wearing of Hanfu would have continued like the Kimono in Japan and Hanbok in Korea. Perhaps then Hanfu would have evolve naturally. To purposely create a "new style" of Hanfu is not advisable. Would it still be Hanfu in the traditional sense ? We are not living in a new "dynasty", China's monarchy is long gone and would not be revive. Even the Japanese and Koreans don't create a new "style" of their traditional Kimono & Hanbok. They have continued the tradition of wearing the Kimono & Hanbok without interruption. But Hanfu was not so fortunate, so we have to continue from when it was interrupted.

To all who doesn't know the first Hanfu were created by the wife of the yellow emperor just like how she created silk from mulberry. The idea of creating Hanfu by the wife of yellow emperor was to give every ancient chinese people their own identity. Because during the time of the yellow emperor where he created different jobs like merchant, farmers, warriors,eunuchs or helper in the palace. This different jobs of people have their own unique Hanfu dress to determine their own identity or class. Hanfu designs evolved from the design of the wife of yellow emperor upto the ming dynasty. The yellow emperor have 25 children. 3 of his children's founded the first dynasty of ancient china then from zhou dynasty the kingdom started to grow and expand and of course wearing Hanfu was already evolved it's design
