China has accepted Western fashion and technology as it has developed these years, but a lot of young people are turning to the past for their clothes choices and putting on traditional "hanfu".
As the government encourages the renaissance(复兴) of traditional culture, hanfu is getting more and more popular with the teenagers. Every year, we can enjoy different hanfu shows around the cities. These shows bring us back to Han Dynasty. We learn more about the history, culture and beauty from them.
Hanfu hasn't been in the same style since Han Dynasty. However, this kind of clothes has something in common. They all have large soft robes (袍子), with sleeves that hang down to the knees, so the hands can't be seen.
In modern China, the hanfu lovers are from history fans, cartoon fans to clothes fans.
"Clothes are the basic part of culture, so both the traditional clothes and modern clothes play the same role in culture, " said Zhang Jun, a famous reporter. "If the people and the country do not even understand our traditional clothes or don't wear them, how can we talk about other important parts of our culture?"
