With the evolution of society, modern individuals have a wide variety of hobbies and interests, and so did ancient Chinese people. We have gathered 8 traditional hobbies from ancient China to explore the interesting activities of the past.   Visiting temples In the agricultural society where the means of production were not yet developed, people of all ages and genders revered mysterious powers and often went to temples to seek peace. For instance, in the early days, people worshipped the Chenghuang Temple, which was believed to protect peace in a particular area. During the Tang and Song dynasties, the entertainment activities in temples gradually increased, attracting many ancient people to visit. There were various performances, including acrobatics, singing, and dancing.   Watching performances During the Tang Dynasty, Canjunxi (参军戏) was very popular.

Recently, a friend was chatting with Keke and mentioned that during a trip to Chengdu, she saw a lady wearing traditional Han clothing. She thought the lady's outfit was particularly beautiful, so she took a second look and politely asked what kind of clothing it was. Someone in the crowd nearby said "traditional costume," which led to the lady in Han clothing berating them, saying, "What do you mean by 'traditional costume'? Do you understand that this is traditional Han clothing? If you don't even understand your own ethnic clothing, are you even Chinese?" "Do you understand Han clothing culture? Can you afford Han clothing?" The rest were just insults. I believe there is a distinction between traditional costumes and Han clothing. Some might say that Han clothing is ancient clothing, thus it is traditional costume. However, I disagree because traditional costumes are like those seen in TV dramas, designed for aesthetic appeal, making the clothes somewhat see-through, featuring short sleeves, and generally transparent, which would not have been possible in ancient times when average temperatures were around ten degrees Celsius. It would be impossible to wear see-through clothing, and ancient women were mostly conservative, so short sleeves were out…

The more significant change in the mid-Ming men's clothing is the gradual widening of the sleeve type, the structure of the outer hem is also different from the initial period. Late Ming dynasty men's clothing popular with the Daopao, the initial sleeve type for the bias to straight sleeves, with the structure of the Shoumei (收袂).

Leaf painting, also known as leaf carving, originated in the Zhou Dynasty and flourished during the Tang and Song Dynasties. It uses the natural form of leaves and cleverly utilizes their natural veins to create stunning works of art. The work is delicate like a cicada's wings, with natural colors that transform decay into magical beauty. However, due to its difficulty in preservation, many exquisite pieces have been lost over time causing this craft to nearly fall into oblivion. Last August though Ding Li's leaf painting artwork series depicting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" went viral bringing this ancient yet captivating technique back into public view.

At thirteen years old he attended an art exhibition where he saw an elderly man using small knives to carve on leaves; fascinated by what seemed like magic he watched him work for almost two hours before being asked if he wanted to learn…
