With the country's vigorous promotion of traditional culture, more and more people are willing to seriously understand traditional Chinese culture and pay attention to traditional Chinese civilization, leading to hanfu, poetry, and other items with ancient charm entering people's vision.

Hanfu culture embodies cultivation and a sense of ceremony; each step in hanfu represents cultivation. It is precisely because of China's five thousand years of cultural heritage that today's unique hanfu culture has been created. In response to this era's requirements, on May 2nd at 7:00 PM, the Business English College organized the “Cherry Blossom Poetry Talk” hanfu-themed activity at the Umay River open-air theater, aiming to promote hanfu etiquette and spread Chinese culture.
