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.

Should be encouraged by the government. Any other clothing should be taxed higher. This should start with celebrities and the politicians

Japanese know how to promote their national identity with kimono, I think it's logical and wise to promote Chinese unity and and our culture with Hanfu, I believe alot of Chinese tourists have learned when visiting Japan and observed alot of Japanese girl walk with Kimono and realized that we need to promote our culture within our country from external influence either religion or western culture as well.

Those dresses looked nice, me being a Chinese (although not living in China) wouldn't go back to them... It takes ages to put one on (trust me, I have tried before) and was not that comfortable. Unless it was for special occasions, I will never do it.

Yes, not very comfortable and convenient, people are everyday in a hurry to go to work or busy working, that dress can really slow you down, not practical in today's fast pace society.

ppl should be encouraged wear their traditional cultural dress. It not only looks nice but also comfortable as these dresses would have evolved based on local weather.

Chinese are too pragmatic lol. It's about the continuity of culture. The Malays and Indians in Singapore wear their traditional clothing despite the permanent hot summer, while the Chinese put on the Cheongsam only during CNY. The Japanese and Koreans put on their traditional clothing and celebrate their festivities on the streets, while these have largely disappeared in urban China.
