Only a few days ago, the first—ever China Hanfu Day was held to encourage young Chinese people to
wear and take pride in hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic group (汉族).
The organizers said, "Traditional
culture is the lifeblood of China. We hope young Chinese people can wear our
traditional clothing during festivals to show China's unusual culture to the world.
This will also make them understand the culture better and feel proud of being
a Chinese." The event invited people to post their pictures in traditional
clothes. By April 22nd, 2018, it had already got over 155 million page views, with
thousands of people sharing their pictures.
Historically, hanfu has influenced many of
the neighboring cultural clothing including the Japanese Kimono and Korean
Hanbok. However, hanfu started to fade when Manchu people took control
of China. Luckily, there has been a rise in popularity over recent years. According
to Hanfu Information(HI), a hanfu promotion (宣传) group,
over 21, 000 sets of hanfu were sold online earlier this year. Another online
survey by HI in 2017 showed that over 88%of people believe that wearing hanfu
is a good way to learn about Chinese culture. It's true that the number of
hanfu fans is growing.
The organizers say they will make China
Hanfu Day a yearly event and that they have set the third day of the third
month of the traditional Chinese calendar as the date of the event.
