Every month, Li ling dresses herself in her favorite hanfu and goes to a party with her friends. At the party, they sing traditional songs and play traditional Chinese music.
Like Li, more and more young people are interested in China Chic, or guochao. It became popular in 2018 after the brand LI-NING showed its Chinese-style designs (款式) at New York Fashion Week. Now, we can see guochao elements (元素) everywhere in our everyday life, from clothing and makeup (化妆品) to food.
An expert talks about the reason behind it, "Now young people know the world well through the Internet and they also want to show who they are." At the same time, they also want more people to accept traditional Chinese culture and love it. Pop culture artist Yu Yang is one of them. He spends most of his time designing Chinese-style jackets, cars and shoes. He hopes more people will know about Chinese culture through his art pieces. Yu feels lucky because so many young people love guochao and his works.
