The trend is gaining momentum, especially among young people, white-collar workers and students. For whom the appeal of Hanfu comes from a fascination with the country's history of high fashion.

@CIA Funny that the “spanish” flu first started in America lol
@CIA You need to go back to school.
@CIA are you stupid? how can you prove the virus from China？do you have any evidences？ or do you have Internet？WHO is examining where the virus come from.
@CIA *sigh* racist troll
The young generations are inadvertently self-searching of their own identity, this is a good affirmation of the true return of a culture.
Like mini Renaissance. Lol

Chinese pride is increasing.
Every culture should be preserved. It's the value of human civilization.
Mou will not be impressed!!
Chinese fashion is a walking piece of art lolz
@@WillSurvive2TheEnd ...
True, it is very attractive.
Anything not trendy in the amerikkka is attractive
I will be so happy to get in contact with you Weeehoooo
I'll take a photo with hanfu when I graduate.🇨🇳🇨🇳
Judith tsui @ 👍👍👍
I want a hanfu wedding .
@@andia968 I use to hate red when I see so many lanterns decoration in red in China I find it they are so beautiful just think about having a wedding dress with the color of red it will be jaw dropping ...
YES FELLOW SKY CHILDREN
I am from Persia (Iran) and we have long history with the Chinese through the Silk Road. Traditional Han clothing is very beautiful and would love to give it a wear if I ever visit China someday. Much love our eastern neighbor! 🇮🇷❤🇨🇳
love u,too.let us fight and protect our culture!
سپاس گزارم 😝
As a westerner who has incorporated hanfu into their everyday fashion I am eternally grateful to the Chinese for their masterful aesthetics and rich culture. Hanfu lover for life right here!
High five in Hanfu Revival Enthusiasts!
really? can you show us?
I'm planning to to wear hanfu inspired sari at my sister's wedding.... I'm planning it for years. Fingers crossed I hope I can pull it off perfectly
@Livia Martins Maybe I will make a video when I am more fluent in mandarin lol, when you are a guest in someone else’s culture it is important to be respectful.
Also I think that is a sad view sir, and unlike my experiences. Most Chinese people I have met admire my interest in their history, these exchanges really can be positive with good intentions
HAN fashion is elegant, high end and beautiful.
That is not han fashion. It's Xianbei fashion.
I have loved the Hanfu culture for over 40 years, yet I am a full blooded Puerto Rican raised in NYC. I cannot express how proud I am of the Chinese embracing their roots. It is such an exquisite, elegant, and refined heritage. 很好!
I have traveled and been exposed to many different cultures and traditions. I have been self-studying China, her language, history and arts for just 5 years and my biggest regret is that I didn’t start MANY years ago! It’s the most beautiful, by far and seems both timeless and infinite! I think it’s amazing that young people are embracing and reviving their ancient cultures and traditions! Then again, I can’t say it enough; my young Chinese friends never cease to amaze me and truly give me hope for the future of this crazy world! 🏮新年快乐！🏮🎆。❤️🇨🇳☮️
I have this vision of China in the future with 6G technology, flying cars, artificially intelligent holograms, and everyone wearing Hanfu.
@@crzer07 lol.. come on.. kkk and neo-nazi? wait.. the west? hmmm....
I am 87 yo and think that this Han style clothing is worn in Heaven. I will send down a message to Earth after I settle in ...
haha. Automated Socialism will prevail.
David Wingrove the author of Chung Kuo predicted this
Not everyone. Because all other ethnic minorities will be wearing their own ethnic clothes with pride as well. All Chinese ethnic groups appreciate their diversity.
Yes must bring back traditional Chinese Han culture
@@crzer07 westerners will criticize anything what Chinese people do out of jealousy and envy.
@@crzer07 I fully support bringing back our Chinese culture.
@Sha Bi Xi Jinping phishing?
@@michaelteng6076 yet Im a westerner and love hanfu. The west is a large place. We should refrain from generlizations. You wouldnt want people to do that to you.
@@mendingwall3823 yes you are right, I am so sorry I should have said some westerners or majority of the westerners. My apologies.
Let's make it a point to wear hanfu at all the main Chinese festivals. Designers should produce more practical versions for men and shorter, lighter female versions with good quality fabrics can be made for tropical weather in ASEAN.
Good idea!
@@crzer07 you make no sense...no one dissing the western clothing here. Do you even know what KKK is 🙄
@@crzer07 no. its because us Han ethnics are envious of the other 55 ethinic groups in China who all have their own tradional clothing. As the Han ethnic group we've adopted the Western style of clothing, and we feel we have lost our cultural identity in a way. In an elementary school textbook there is an illustration of children of the 56 ethnic groups; all the other ethnic groups are wearing their traditional clothing, only the Han child wore plain 'modern western' style clothing. This is why young people are reviving the traditional Han clothing. We want to embrace our lost culture. And by your name, I'm assuming you may be of chinese Han descent, do you not wish to rediscover, embrace and be proud of your heritage?
Actually what they are wearing are soiree clothing for the noble and wealthy, peasants and the poor clothing actually looks very similar to modern clothing, except without buttons but with folded collars. Because peasants need to work and toil in the fields so what they are wearing would not be practical at all.
@@crzer07 In your head maybe? I say it's about time, because 56 ethnic groups all have their traditional wears, no reason why Han ethnic groups can't hold love of theirs.
I am Native American. My family and I participate in Native American Powwows for much the same reasons as these folks doing Hanfu Festivals. I think it is wonderful and beautiful and I wish I could attend as I have just found out that my father was Chinese. I am 71 and will never have the opportunity to know him or learn about that half of my ancestry from him or his family. So I am very grateful to see these beautiful videos about the culture. Thank you for making them.
There are DNA test kits in pharmacies, stores and online you can use to help you find your relatives. It's never too late. I am trying to do the same.
@@maecarpenter6735 Yes, that is how I found out.
I love going to powwows and seeing all the traditional art, music, and dance. I also love the Chinese festivals and some of my fondest memories are from when I was a child running around in my uncle's back yard with my little sister on the night of the full moon festival with our little lanterns lighting the way. I'm part native american on my dad's side and chinese on my mom's side.
bulls**t ，中国人和你们没有任何关系
Im a black american and I think hanfu is one of the most beautiful and elegant styles of dress in the world. If I could wear it, I would.
EDIT: Some people misunderstood my comment. I wasnt referring to cultural appropriation. There are no hanfu places in my area. Most of the online stores are in Mandarin (understandable). Sure theres aliexpress, but they dont have best reviews. There are many complaints of paying for things that never come. Also the nicer and high quality hanfu is out of my budget. Those are the reasons I cannot wear it at this time. If I had access to an affordable, reputable shop, I would love to wear it.
Thank you～
surely you can haha.welcome !
Sure u can! If one day u visit China, u can take photos in Han dresses at the ancient palaces, it will be a wonderful experience😉
Oh my ❤️ thank you, welcome to China,and wear hanfu 😍🌟🌟
LOL~There are many styles of Hanfu. You will find the one that suits you~喵~
Keep China culturally and fashionably Chinese. That's China's uniqueness and beauty.
This is good...I believe China can do both. They can modernize their country, explore space and embrace their culture and tradition ...stop trying to be Western!
Just learn the best points from others. But don't pick up their negativity and bitterness.
Peter Frank@ agree with you absolutely
I think cultural exchange is good, but not when losing one's own.
I as a minority in China can’t be more happy about it. Though I personally prefer the name Huafu. China has been a country with multi races for centuries. It is a good thing for people to celebrate our cultures and traditions, especially now we are at the threshold of re-prosperity. We minorities are treated equally in China unlike black people in America. There is no culture appropriation here because we are one family.Different races can share our outfits and traditions. We are all Chinese. I can wear Hanfu and people from other races can wear my ethnic outfits without offending anyone. I guess western countries won’t be able to understand this.
Chinese nationality in general, including Zang (Tibetan), share various percentages of the same racial genes. So the correct term is "ethnicities", not "races". There were only a few migration routes of early humans populating East Asia.
@@mikel4690 Thanks for your correction. And that shows how western culture dominates media. They lead people to think every country has serious race issues like them. So they can easily turn people against each other. Luckily we Chinese are smart enough not to fall for that.
Yes, because China is a farming culture, so the concept of family and mutual help are inherited for thousands of years. In China, people will not treat ethnic minorities as cruelly as in western countries. In fact, in China, it has nothing to do with ethnicities. It is more about cultural identity. As long as you understand Chinese culture, you will be regarded as a member of the family
有点道理哦，如果我穿满清大马褂，留个大辫子，会被人认为是《满清遗种》
@@user-em8te9my8i People avoid wearing 满清大马褂 or 留个大辫子just because it's ugly. Hanfu and Han's hairstyle are way more beautiful and elegant than those of Qing. This is fact and nobody can deny it.
Should have two models. The traditional hanfu to be worn on festive occasions and an adapted (simplified) version for daily, non-festive wear.
There are. The second kind is called Han Elements clothes 汉元素服装. You can find them in Taobao.com
@@PeterXiao1 Thanks for the info.
@@PeterXiao1 Noooooo. Han element and modified hanfu is completely different. Han element is just western-style clothing but with hanfu symbols and fabric.
China was a origin of many Asian culture. I’m Japanese, but all Japanese people learn 漢文 in a school from junior high to high school because it was the source of our language and letters. Japanese kimono was called 呉服 originally. Style was changed in Japan, but I respect the original always.
If I see ancient fashion I always wonder why the heck people on earth started wearing the stuff we wear today. I can imagine just wearing these elaborate hanfu clothes makes you feel like you’re floating through your day on a cloud of elegance without having to give up comfort 😂 I don’t know modern clothes that can do that!
I am an American and I think this is absolutely wonderful!! I love that people are bringing more of their culture back.
All Traditional dresses are beautiful, it's one of the reasons I love to watch movies that are more historical
When I visited the 'Nanjing Municipal Museum' two young women arrived beautifully dressed, it was so Chinese. Young 20 year old women ... it was impossible to miss them. From Canada.
I’m very happy that they bring their beautiful tradition back to now. I love Chinese culture and history. Greetings from Japan.
Thank you.
@@christinem4266 thank you for thanking her.
@@scripiorimer7029 Thank you for mentioning it.
Us Chinese and Koreans will forever hate you
@@songxia735 hater, begone
So happy hanfu is making a comeback in the younger generations because this is our true traditional clothing
Wow, not long ago I was thinking that it would be amazing to bring back this style. It is absolutely lovely especially the hairstyles, makeup, and dresses even the etiquette
12:32 that old lady from Malaysia said her daughter is 楊紫琼, the international movie star Michelle Yeoh. .... Wow!
Hanfu definitely need to make a come back among Han Chinese to uphold the traditions and culture of the Han Chinese.
JEFFREY ANG @ Agree with you absolutely, before it is ethnocide by the western culture
@@crzer07 Han supremacy?? So you mean Cheongsam and the Manchurian style long robe 长衫 for males are Manchurian supremacy?? Tibetans wear their traditional attire daily is Tibetan supremacy??
@@crzer07 The politicians in the west never stop bad mouth, bashing China. I love Hanfu! I am proud of my culture. It has nothing to do with Han supermacy. I respect other people’s culture.
宣稱誰沒有文化，是除漢族以外的少數民族麼？聽說過佈達拉宮麼？潑水節？那達慕？不過你能說出這話，看起來應該是沒聽說過吧
@@crzer07 you are uneducatied.
Nothing more inspiring than people wearing their traditional clothes
I've already bought more hanfu than modern clothes,i love hanfu very much🥰🥰🥰
官方终于打算出手了。偷国这些天真的是太可恶了
Long live Han Chinese and her rich traditions and cultures.
@CIA Virus are everywhere.Covid-19 has spread in the United States and many European countries long before it was discovered in Wuhan. The virus has survived longer than human beings in the world. It can be found anywhere at any time.
@CIA Let’s say it is from a bat soup... What does it change? Are you gonna blame the person eating their soup? Please lol
@CIA thanks for your jealous comment ; )
@City Wok Guy WHO experts (see from yt) explained that coronavirus is a nàtural virus, there is the explanation on the video
Let's revitalise this lost tradition. Chinese culture should be practiced and embodied by the young generation.
I give the young people of China credit for both wanting to embrace and preserve the arts and culture.
The clothing is so elegant and beautiful. I would love to dress like this!
If Korean and Japanese are still wearing their traditional costume in daily lives, it should be seen as normal for Chinese to wear traditional costume whether it's from Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming or Qing dynasty. Chinese should not be just limiting their costume on Qipao only. Just be proud of your culture and be practical, that's all.
@@crzer07 智障青年欢乐多
kfcmalaysia @ you are absolutely correct
Absolutely right
@@crzer07 what if you just like historical clothing. IS THAT A CRIME
The many facets of elegance of the costume boggles the mind. Overwhelmingly enchanting !!!
we are filipinos but i suspected that we have chinise or japanese ancestry. When the school of my son have this program of international day we have to rent this dress of hanfu like clothes gosh he was very cute...he won the best dress because he looks like confucian scholar . its affirmation to me...Hope for asias rise, growth and prosperity so that western people dont abuse us..
filipinos have more pacific islander ancestry like guam malay, while mordern japanese, korean and chinese have same ancestry.
@@yia01 our president and most of their staff has chinise or japanese ancestry
Hanfu Looks Awesome. It Cover Up The Whole Body With Respect To Ourself And To Others. Chinese In China Should Bring Back The Traditional Dressing. I Was Delighted And Had Seen Many In The Streets. ❤🀄🇨🇳
I was incredibly thrilled to see the Hanfu comeback, it's such a huge lost to see Hanfu disappear, I am so glad it's back now. I really hope more and more people can participate in the Hanfu comeback
Hanfu is nice looking, love the design.
@@crzer07 stop repeating the same shit. The Chinese just want to bring back their culture, you don't need to take notice if you don't like it.
Thank you ❤️🥰🥰 As a Chinese ,love the design too 😍✨
@@crzer07 The difference is KKK cult kills non-white Americans in the dark night. Han Chinese promote Hanfu for ethnic identity only. We don't hate other ethnic minorities at all. All ethnic Chinese are respected. To compare the Han Chinese to KKK shows the Western media full of BS.
Hanfu is a big plus, look good colorful and something different. But certain people here want to politicise it.
@@crzer07 self hating
Such beautiful garments! I have always been absolutely obsessed with ancient chinese fashion.
I wear hanfu from 2016,and I love the hanfu of every dynasty ❤️🥰✨ Welcome to China, friends~Come to China and try Hanfu 💗🥰✨
I personally love the old way of dressing far more glamorous
We should not only support Hanfu and culture, but also every race or nation's costumes and culture.
It's not the west but the chinese themselves who destroyed their own culture! It was the "cultural revolution" under Mao!
It’s so nice for those Han Chinese youngsters to love their ancient culture!
Such a rich history, and looks so elegant and complimentary to the body. The hanfu should totally make a comeback.
what a beautiful! wonderful traditional vests, I guess not cheap, looks like better than not personality of new modern clothes the most, are samples of a magnific culture that would be so interesting pick up from the past.
Very lovely, glad it's making a comeback. The stunning movies and series probably helped the young learn to value their past culture again.
Thank you very much for this Video with english Subtitles, I really appreciate and enjoyed it.
Men, Women and children in China wears Hanfu are really Elegant, Classy and Sophisticated.
If any Chinese friend here please allow me to friendship ...🤗
I really like culture of china.....
Love from india😊😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏
You are very much welcome 🙏!

omg, call me uninformed! I didn't know Fang Wenshan, one of the best lyricists who also composed for Jay chow is the founder of this festival! such a wonderful surprise that makes sense as I am typing bc of his works before as well :)
As long as people still remember the culture and apply it to daily life, then people will never lose it. Glad to see the Chinese now reviving their culture with Hanfu
I am Greek and got my first hanfu from taobao this year ^^ I don't have anyone else to wear it with me but it's okay, I enjoyed wearing hanfu a lot.
Hopefully China will recognize Hanfu as their official costume where it stand for elegant and beauty ...
There are many ethnic groups in China , Han is just one of them. Though Han is undoubtly the largest one.
@@user-pd8te1vv7r So many countries they recognize their majority ethnic and value their costume and how come China are not proud of their thousand of years costume who represent elegance and beauty ...The Japanese, Korean, Indian, even all the minority in China have their own why not China be proud of their majority Han costume Hanfu to be their official costume to represent China
@@areebachewa8318 well im not saying they’re not proud , people still get married in traditional dresses . But everyone wears modern western clothes because of the revolution and overall westernization
@@user-pd8te1vv7r I do understand the change and for me I can see the beauty in both and I would rather see the Han people wearing their own as what the Indian are admiring their saree costume where they are still wearing it today...
Chinese hanfu is so beautiful,please protect the culture,it means who you are in some way
So beautiful
Ya'll i bought a hanfu last month for a chinese storytelling competition and let me tell you, wearing Hanfu makes you feel special.. it took me 5-7 minutes to record my performance (it's an online competition) only for me to wear it for the rest of the day.
of course every country/culture have their own beautiful traditional clothing like kebaya in the malayan culture and Yukata in the japanese, i honestly wish we could wear our selected clothing without being judged, like i really want to wear a casual kebaya out in the street just for fun...
Amazing chinese culture
Wonderful great come back!!! Hanfu should be wear every day.
大概十年前还在上中学就开始关注汉服了。现在身在异国他乡，看到祖国文化越来越繁荣，倍感欣慰。
Great, I love Ancient Chinese Civilization - The Traditional Dress, Habits, Martial Arts and Objects (Like the Windchimes, Wushu and Feng Shui). Chinese should be very Proud of their Ancient Culture and Civilization !!! I miss those Old Kung-Fu Movies China used to make in the early 60s and 80s, This is what introduced me to Chinese Culture.
Love from India
@Viet Boy Wrong. Pls stop jealous.
Does this copy from vietnam too ua-cam.com/video/i5QuUfjcd24/v-deo.html
I really want them to be like Japan, where they still wear their traditional garb in between all the modern clothes and seeing a resurface of these clothes makes me so happy. I’m Chinese myself but not worn any of these and would love to wear them the hanfu one day😌
我虽然身在韩国，身上穿着汉服我很荣幸，我很荣幸我是中国人。
Thanks for sharing.
Loving seeing people wearing ancient dress particularly ladies. They’re just gorgeous. In my next visit to China, I may consider to rent some of these Han dress to try it out.
You can buy it from the website. Ask Chinese people to help you. It’s better than renting. You can bring it back home as a souvenir.
@@HULI_AIXIA Unfortunately, I won’t have much opportunity to wear it again outside China unless I wear it at home as it may not be practical. I just want to see how my wife and I look in Han dresses. Anyway, thanks for the advise.
Hanfu is so beautiful and feel so nice when I wear it. It is flowy and make me look slim and pretty like a fairy.
Hanfu could make a wearer look elegant and attractive..
👍👍👍👍👍
In our modern day, i believe designers should put more efforts to EVOLVE this fashion into the modern day Hanfu and be well received by all...
Fang Wenshan 方文山 You're cool! I am still following you and Jay Chou for your new works!
The trolls in the comment section though. These ppl have only hate in their hearts! Sad...
Mostly South Koreans whose ancestors applied so much Han traditions and clothing.
Americans. They are just refugees. Don't bother about them.
Amazing video! China has 56 ethnic groups. 55 of them wear their traditional clothing for important festivals or events! But Han Chinese people don't really wear Hanfu as often as the other 55 Chinese ethnic groups. I'm so glad that Han Chinese can learn from other ethnic groups and start this "Hanfu Movement"!
I was born in the West in the 80s but somehow I feel I identify more with these youngsters in regards to Chinese cultural identity. Add oil! :)
SentientStone @ I am with and there are millions more like you.
加油
Very good idea. So the Chinese won't lost their culture.
I love China, I love Chinese history and any dynasty. Ancient Chinese culture is so splendid and dazzling. Thank you for your love of Hanfu! I also hope that everyone will support the Han people and the culture of our ethnic minorities. There are 56 ethnic groups in China. Diversified, inclusive, take the essence and discard the dross!
Such an elaborate and exquisite culture 👍 huge admiration from #Nagaland
jong yo @ Naga people should maintain their cultural and beware not to be indianised by the Indian culture
Nagamese should actively promote and keep your own culture as well, before it is over taken by another culture.
@@michaelteng6076 Chinese culture itself is very much influenced by India what u talking about 🙄

It is awesome to see the younger generation express their love of their cultural heritage. This is a great way to not forget it and pass it onto your own children.
Very beautiful indeed. Best of all, one size fits all.
I have been watching Chinese drama for a few years now and I am in love with the culture and dress. I wish I looked like the beautiful actresses in the dramas, they are flawless! And the clothes are so amazing
The girl at the beginning from Beijing is very elegant and soft spoken which matches her Hanfu.
As a non Han-Chinese person. Is it fine for me to wear traditional Chinese clothing ?
Why not? Means other foreign appreciate it? If I wore traditional French dress, don't see why French person would hate it?
Of course!welcome!🥰🥰
Yes, it is fine as long as it isn't done in a mocking or degrading fashion.
Sure can
It's fine as long as the intention is not to make a mockery out of it. Likewise for any other culture. We should respect all cultures no matter where they are from.
There is also a Treasure Trove in Chinese Philosophy from Tao to Confucius to Wu Wei to Mozi as hundred schools of thought are still relevant today with some update. Ancient wisdom is timeless. From Greek philosophers to Aesop's tale. Its not about old school or new school but some Facts of life never changes with time.
Han fashion is the future ❤️
确实
though they may put a modern spin on the classic style, that classic style can still hold its own. Centuries later and the early style still inspires many. I love the colors, and designs sewn into them.
I am so happy to see this, going back and enjoying the ancient cultures and dresses is a fun experience. Glad the people are bringing it back.
I like the era of the romance of three kingdoms
I am a Three Kingdoms fan 😊
Chronicle of easten zhou Kingdoms is much more fun. It's about Spring&Authumn to warrring state to Qin Unification of China. However, no english tramslation. I read Thai language tramslation.

Finding culture again is beautiful and necessary. Losing one’s culture is very damaging, ask any indigenous people groups who have had western colonialism enter their land.
@@goeast12 Xinjiang has been a part of China since the Han dynasty, Tibet since the Yuan dynasty, and Inner Mongolia didn’t exist as an autonomous region until the communist party made it so.

I lived about 30 minutes away from Xitang, in Suzhou. I really miss that place, it's so beautiful.
So much more beautiful than any modern clothing.

Damn!!! Chinese ancient cloth are soo elegant.
Love the hair decorations. The designs are amazing and beautiful. I really want to go to China.
Chinese traditional clothing is beautiful.
One should always be proud of your cultural heritage.
Very cool, now bring back manners and other traditions!
Bowing? Agreed, like Japan and korea
@@nos8141 Actually Chinese didn't really bow like Japan and Korea, we had more casual ways of greeting like 拱手礼 or more formal like 揖礼, Japanese-style hands at the side bowing is reserved for formal weddings, funerals, temples, and maybe teachers/elders.
I just hope they can rediscover their roots. Culture is the real passport of the people
The best part to me is seeing the ethnic Chinese from the diaspora who travel to China for these types of events.
Great that the young Chinese are embracing their heritage !!!!
