Tetet, 25 years old, 177 cm tall, originally from Changsha, moved to Chongqing with her husband and settled there. Tetet speaks fluent Chongqing dialect with a low, slightly hoarse voice. “I started getting into Hanfu in 2013. I went to an event and met ‘Fengge,' a famous figure in the Chongqing Hanfu community, who invited me to try wearing Hanfu. I thought it looked beautiful and took great photos. Fengge then gave me a set of men's Hanfu…”
The “Zuo Zhuan” states: “China has great rituals, hence it is called Xia; it has beautiful clothing, hence it is called Hua.” Due to various reasons, many people have limited knowledge of Chinese traditional culture and often misunderstand or know little about traditional Chinese clothing, Hanfu. Since 2017, when the State Council issued a policy to fully revive traditional culture, more and more people have begun to pay attention to traditional culture. To help more people understand Chinese traditional culture and promote Hanfu culture among college students, the Chongqing Hanshanxuan Hanfu Culture Group held a Hanfu Dragon Boat Festival event and a college poetry competition at the Qibuhetang in Huayan Temple, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing, on May 29, 2017. Nine college clubs, including the History Enthusiasts Association of Chongqing Normal University, the Hanfu Association of Southwest University, and the Book Fragrance Literature Society of Chongqing University of Technology, participated in this event. Not only did participants experience the customs and significance of the Dragon Boat Festival, but they also exchanged knowledge about traditional culture and promoted Hanfu culture, contributing to the realization of the “Hanfu Dream” and the “Chinese Dream.”

These events invited the top Hanfu players and KOLs in Chongqing, who, despite their busy schedules, still found time to log onto the Cover News app's Qingjiao channel to show off the most beautiful traditional Chinese fashion.
During the Lantern Festival, the Chongqing Hanfeng Culture Society will hold its annual Lantern Festival Gathering, featuring Uncle Tingfeng, who has a large following in the Hanfu community.
