The five historical dramas “The Snow of Heroes”, “The Great Song Palace”, “Munan Zhi”, “The Pearl Lady”, and “ Twin Cities” are about to air, bringing a feast for viewers who love Hanfu. In an era where various types of TV series are blooming, no type of TV series can evoke as much passionate response as historical dramas, especially those with palace intrigue plots.

As a popular tourist destination in people's hearts, the beauty of Wuzhen speaks for itself. Li Shaohong's “ of Red Mansions” was filmed in Wuzhen, and Liu Ruo'ying also shot an advertisement here, with its tranquility and melancholy deeply attracting every visitor. The southern Jiangnan water town, with its bridges over flowing streams, has remained unchanged, just like the flourishing Hanfu. Many men and women come here to either purchase or rent Hanfu to wear, along with their shoes, swaying gently back and forth, reviving classical elegance in the bustling , with the hem of the Hanfu fluttering gracefully and naturally. Its luxurious attire dances through the ages. Perhaps because the aesthetics of Hanfu have not been completely eradicated in this water town, like a steady stream, it does not feel pretentious. Imagine if men and women in some northern cities dressed in Hanfu, it would definitely seem abrupt and ridiculous.

We invite them in to take a look,” said Xu Jie.

Firstly, who will modify it? Hanfu merchants? Regardless of the form, what is the difference between arbitrary modifications and historical costumes in TV dramas? Will your so-called modifications be influenced by Western culture? If you don't understand the culture of traditional Hanfu forms, how can you create good clothes? If everyone modifies, what is the standard for Hanfu? However, I do not discriminate against modern Hanfu elements, everyone can wear them, but traditional Hanfu should not be abandoned. I appreciate the forms of Hanfu but also wear Han elements. But I know in my heart what true Hanfu is.
