"Hanfu has become a part of my life," said Liu Nian, a post-90s girl to the reporter. Her first encounter with Hanfu was in 2009, "When I watched period dramas before, I found the costumes very gorgeous. It wasn't until after I got into Hanfu that I realized these 'costumes' were quite different from authentic Hanfu." As she delved deeper, she discovered that Hanfu is not only visually stunning and meticulously crafted but also varied across different dynasties, forming an extensive costume system. During the interview, she wore a stand-collar blouse paired with a mamian skirt, a typical Ming Dynasty Hanfu style. Sixth place: Cai Wenji's Celestial Melody, despite being the most criticized, its jacket paired with a pleated skirt, the color and craftsmanship are still commendable, giving off an air of royal nobility. The implication is that we wear traditional Han Chinese attire to revive our great civilization's nation of etiquette.

Many young people are immersive in it. "When I watched costume dramas as a child, I often put on a bed sheet to imitate a robe, and now wearing hanfu is more like a dream come true." Yan Peishan, who studied in Italy, said, "Earlier, I played erhu on stage in hanfu and won a lot of praise. It turns out that there are not only cheongsams in China, but also beautiful hanfu."

Hanfu is the traditional dress of the Han nationality, which contains the beauty of traditional culture and is a part of Chinese national culture.

What is it like to be a hanfu designer? Let's take a look at Hanfu Shi Dai (汉服世代) interviews with four hanfu designers.   Kong Xin Yan (空心砚) Hello, I'm Kong Xin Yan and I've been in touch with hanfu for more than 10 years! Over the years I have been concerned about the demand for modern hanfu and saw the potential market demand for non-antique hanfu, but there are many inconveniences in wearing traditional hanfu directly, which triggered my design inspiration and also formed my own design feature - "Shi Zhuang Han Cai (时装汉裁, tailoring fashion in Han style)". Traditional hanfu leaps directly from ancient times into modern times, missing the process of cultural renewal, and many styles are based on the ancient social background. If we want to further develop hanfu, we have to think about these questions: How should traditional hanfu serve the current fast-paced society and what functions should it achieve in an era when there are noblemen like emperors, generals and princesses?
