The “Autumn Walk Through Antiquity” series of educational activities includes a “Wear Hanfu • Admire Ginkgo • Recite Classics” university student Hanfu festival. This event aims to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Central Office and State Office's “Opinions on Implementing the Chinese Excellent Traditional Culture Inheritance and Development Project,” strengthen the protection and utilization of cultural relics and heritage, and enhance society's awareness of the importance of cultural heritage protection.

“China has great rites, hence it is called Xia; it has beautiful attire, hence it is called Hua.” Hanfu, also known as Huafu, is a carrier of Chinese traditional culture and national spirit, and an excellent representation of the Chinese nation's heritage. The common Shu embroidery and Shu brocade found in Hanfu are among China's four famous embroideries and brocades, both being national intangible cultural heritages. With a long history, exquisite craftsmanship, and beautiful patterns, they are collectively known as the “Shu Twin Treasures.” When Hanfu and Shu brocade meet again on “Chinese Huafu Day,” it may offer more possibilities for the revival of Chinese culture and the development of intangible cultural heritage.
On June 205, the World Intangible Cultural Heritage Day, the first World Han Culture Forum was held at Peking University. Chen Zhenbing was recommended by the World Han Nationality Organization, the World Han Culture Association, and the World Hanfu Association to be listed as a representative inheritor of Hanfu craftsmanship and Hanfu etiquette, a world-class intangible cultural heritage.

Hanfu and Han culture are the most important world intangible cultural heritage projects of the Chinese nation, but they have been neglected for centuries. Who can shoulder this responsibility in the contemporary era?
