The Floral Deity Competition was the highlight of this year's Taishan Flower Festival. Prior to the event, online registrations for the floral deity contest were already underway, with fifty participants selected from over a hundred online registrants to compete in the live floral deity competition. The live competition was held in multiple rounds, eventually selecting ten floral deities representing each month of the year. Ultimately, these ten floral deities led all traditional culture enthusiasts wearing hanfu in a ritual ceremony dedicated to the floral deity. Contemporary traditional rituals differ from ancient times, now more imbued with a pursuit of beauty and respect for the inheritance of traditional culture.

Recently,娄艺潇 (Lou Yixiao) has developed a fondness for the simplicity of hanfu, leading to a significant change in her style. At the variety show “Yun Shang Xiao Mang,” Lou Yixiao appeared dressed in traditional hanfu as an ancient beauty, performing her new song “The Great Dream of Life.” Her fashionable hanfu attire during the show was stunningly beautiful, gentle, and dignified. With features like a dragon's head and silkworm eyebrows, skin as smooth as congealed fat, eyes resembling ginkgo nuts, and lips painted red, Lou Yixiao not only perfectly showcased the beauty of hanfu but also received high praise for her new song performance.
Since the fourth year of my university (2019 to present), I've been buying more and more hanfu, including brands such as Yi Jin Jiang Nan (Yi Jin Jiudou), Chaoge Ji, Yuluo Sha, Chi Xia, Shi Xia, Huazhao Ji, Lanruo Ting, Konggu Ji, Mengyin Chang'an, Huashen Ji, Qingqiu Ji, Chunri Yan, etc. Gradually, I started purchasing materials to make hairpins, buying wigs and cosmetics for hairstyles and makeup. My roommate and I, who share a love for hanfu, often went out shopping in hanfu. Before graduation, we walked through the center of Guilin wearing every style of hanfu in our wardrobes.
The first “Chinese Floral Deity Festival” folk activity was held over two days. On April 30th, the main events included competitions for little floral deities, floral deities, and gentlemen in hanfu. Children and young adults dressed in splendid hanfu showcased their talents, providing a rich artistic feast for the public. The little and big “floral deities” participating in the selection process moved gracefully, as if walking out of a painting. The young men in hanfu competing for the title of “gentleman” exuded the elegance of scholars stepping out of calligraphy and paintings, dignified and noble.
