Return to Han and Tang
Its a product of the current Hanfu revival movement.

Watched it and see if its any good.

I think people should just be grateful that they are even allowed to wear them on the street. A full revival is pushing it haha.

Those clothes look good in the movies, but not practical in real life.

They will remind people of the dynastic cycle and threaten the legimitacy of the communist party.

They will be like those Japanese that still wear kimonos while going out.

what is the name of that song? it sounds pretty good.

I think you guys are missing the point.
Its not about wearing hanfu out in the street, its about CULTURE.

In the video you will see women smile and dance while men read and practice swordsmenship and archery. thats what made Han and Tang great, high culture and military might hand in hand to defend civilization.
Reviving Hanfu is only small part of it, its mainly about the spirit and cultural values.


The song is called "Return back to Han/Tang"

Ridiculous!

I think that hanfu and qipao will become popular in world fashion as western dominance lessens and chinese influence increases.

What can you expect from a hardcore communist.
All they ever did for china was economic stagnation, mass ignorance and cultural destruction.
So glad that Deng xiaoping brought pragmatism back.


Hanfu should be worn during festivals.

Wow that's a nice clip. Totally made my Han blood boil. The Tang style is definitely making a come back. I saw a lot of Tang style jackets and stuff being sold in Beijing back in 2004. This revival certainly adds more to the Chinese identity.

the sad thing is that a lot of youth dont care about Han traditional dress or any traditional dress for that matter.

This is a little different than Japanese people and kimonos. Kimonos are an adoption of Han style dress from back in the eras when the Japanese still respected Chinese culture. So for them to go from one foreign style to another is not all that weird.

We, the Han, created this stuff, we own and it defines a part of our heritage. For us to disown it is a far greater travesty. If I get married to a Chinese girl, I'll make sure we have an authentic traditional Han style wedding.

I agree that wearing it everyday in the street just isn't practical. It wasn't practical then and not practical now.

However, wearing it as formal wear (both male and female equivalent) is an excellent idea. How practical is an evening gown or a tux. Heck even a tie is pretty impractical. And a suit and tie in warmer climates in the summer is for the birds.

As a matter of fact, I have decided that the next time I go to China, I am gonna get a Mao suit taylored with some nice fabric for me to wear to formal occassions like weddings etc.

Mao Suit...
u mean 中山装??
cus u don't want to wear mao suit..LOL
that's what those people aiming for, wear han fu for special events

i like the hair styles the girls have.

It absolutely can. I think if we can tailor it to somehow make it more pratical while keeping the elegance and exoticness of the look then it can potentially be a fashion trend here in the west in the future. Its not that farfetched if you think about it considering china is having more and more fashion designers come out each and every year. Praticality and Elegance is the key here. How to make it suitable to wear to work and at the same time be elegant enough to wear to an important function.

world-fashion has already and often taken inspiration from all kinds of cultures and countries, including China, it's just that designers don't always credit them.

I don't think it's just political or financial influence that will do, but people and designers need to like the culture and their people too.








Those hanfu are ugly though.





Yeah, that's a terrific idea, make sure they won't be as ugly as the hanfu shown in the pictures.

that woman in the pic looks too caucasian.
just the eyes.
but also reminds me of lee young-ae

Thank You
