Awesome! Time for Chinese and Asian cultures to start edging Western centric imagery out of their continent and take pride in their own history!

[@playinglifeoneasy9226]

I’m (European descended) American I am loving Hanfu style and trying to learn how Chinese people feel about westerners wearing Hanfu.

[@inlustrismedia]

​@@playinglifeoneasy9226 Very few Chinese in China would care either way and probably be flattered. However, you're probably going to get pushback from Asian and Chinese Americans who may see this as cultural appropriation. There's a lot of complex reasons why we/they may feel this way, primarily because Asian Americans have always been (and still are) otherized by our culture and excluded in mainstream majority power structures in the US, so for a non-Asian to be wearing the same traditional clothing that have been used to deride us is triggering in the least and offensive to many. Is this necessarily fair for those non-Asians who want to wear it out of genuine appreciation? Probably not. But neither has the way generations of Asian Americans been treated due to our skin and heritage either, and any ill-will and injustice that took decades and generations to build up will take at least that much time to be mollified. Not telling you what to do, just providing a wider deeper perspective. In short, if you're doing in China, no problem. In the US, potential problems.

There is nothing bad in Western wear and Westernization. Both can be mixed and traditional outfits can be mixed and carried with Modern look. Only the Dirt or bad of seeing something as something bad or Dirty is in the mind. Mind should be clean!! Everything is about Mentality. People must be Open-minded and Flexible about culture. Even Muslim women wearing Full loose clothing and Hijab have been raped..Nuns have been raped ...so blaming clothes or Western culture has nothing to do with rising Crimes against women or bad things ...it's about how womanfolk is perceived.

Traditional Chinese clothing is absolutely beautiful. When I married my Chinese wife here in the UK she wore a red Qi pao wedding dress she looked amazing. When we went outside the registry office to take pictures in the garden every window in the building was full of people looking at us and taking pictures as they had never seen anyone getting married in a red dress before 😊😊😊 More Hanfu more minority’s clothing all so beautiful ❤

[@johnyqu5745]

Chinese girl can wear Hanfu or Qipao. They are both Chinese clothes, but Hanfu has more history and more traditional, vanished almost 300-400 years because of Qing dynasty.Qipao appeared in the era of ROC( republic of China) and as a symbol of the awakening of women's consciousness, to resist the patriarchal society, it is also a fashion, its design combines the characteristics of Western women's clothing and Manchu women's traditional clothing. So there are the differences between Hanfu and Qipao.

[@haniahannslew4108]

That is so lovely and goregeous. Love to see more and more young Chinese are interested in, love, and respect their Chinese culture wearing Hanfu in many occasions. Love to see more and more Chinese are looking back to their think deep history, traditions, and wisdom for inspiration and revive their traditional beautiful dresses.

[@Linkwii64]

Any tv drama with Hanfu clothes is automatic love for me. The beauty that word cannot describe.

[@lunarebony6122]

I remember when I recently went back to china ( I couldnt go back for 4 years bcs covid) and the number of hanfu enthusiasts have increased so much! The last time i went before covid, I remember seeing a couple in malls and places, but now theyre everywhere! Im so proud!

[@notallwhowanderarelost548]

I have contributed over 10,000 RMB to hanfu market of China in the passed 6 months. So addictive to the beauty of Hanfu.

[@RoyFJ65]

Awesome rediscovery and the right time.

[@jaketan224]

At shandong province of china. Kids wears hanfu as a uniform on one of the Chinese school located in shandong. Same in henan they also wear hanfu. I hope other ancient Chinese provinces who was established during the time of xia,shang and Zhou was also followed what shandong,henan was doing. Revived the culture of hanfu clothing just like in the past

[@ezioauditore5616]

im in with the modern hanfu tradition with today busy life and comfort of wearing it

[@nawax000]

A very beautiful traditional Chinese costume that needs to be preserve and introduce to young generation, I personally could only know this kind of dress from Ku She / pictogram story books when I was kid ... Glad to know that currently it is gaining momentum into positive direction ... ❤️Wanmei!!!❤️

[@TotoNut]

the tenacity of chinese, of the couple is inspiring.

[@BeatrixMushroom]

As an American I really want to wear one of these elegant dresses to a dance ♥️ if I do end up wearing one, I will wear it with pride although I am not at all related in blood to China 🇨🇳 I am a mixed European American, but I want this style to go everywhere 🌎

[@qiaowang7147]

Hanfu is for everyone who respects and love it ❤

Welcome to travel to China and experience the rich Chinese culture Welcome to contact me directly to book travel routes to various cities

[@peanut0brain]

Hanfu is a catalyst to bring back all of good Ole Chinese culture

[@donchong25]

They are beautiful and they should be encouraged and promoted for evening wear as well as for formal events etc. Do not forget to do the same for men.

[@user-kx5xc8nd4b]

Chinese Hanfu is so beautiful ❤,it is nit just clothings

[@catonpillow]

Hanfu looks great! It adds to the cyberpunk vibe of Сhina's big cities.

[@balkanleopard9728]

Absolutely fabulous Hanfu. Great.

[@modkhi]

i remember when i last went to china 10 years ago, i asked my relatives to get me hanfu.. couldn't find it anywhere, though people knew what i was talking about. fast forward to now and it's so widely available in china... still a bit hard to get overseas though. im learning to sew so i can one day make my own hanfu, tailored for my body size and shape.

[@pr0newbie]

Modern hanfu is awesome.

[@vortex162]

With Hanfu came an array of physical gesture and bodily articulation absolutely poetic!

[@santiwd5006]

All chinese government officials should wear Hanfu clothes during official events or weddings, just like Indonesian officials wear traditional clothes during official events and of course in weddings it is a must for everyone

[@HalfBreedMix]

Wuxia films a really good showcase for Hanfu.

[@rochelleglickman8162]

As a westerner, I think Hanfu is beautiful!

[@user-ur6lc7gb8s]

Thank you for sharing hafu traditional development.

[@thndrngest]

Chinese designers should branch out from traditional designs to modernize updated clothing for everyday use, simplified patterns, fabric choices, colors and easy-caring should be considered.

[@misss7777]

Well patternwise Hanfu already is as esy as it gets since there are no armholes to cut. Just a T-Shape and external sleeves. And there are also are modernized everyday Hanfu (for example shortened) for sale.

[@vortex162]

The ancients had already thought everything through that's why I think ancient fashion is timeless in every way design, color, beauty and practicality.

[@restikaeastwinds]

Really in love with Hanfu 😍

[@bellazheng3981]

Hanfu is just awesome, I love it

[@playinglifeoneasy9226]

I’m blown away by the power of the lady who sang the Hanfu song her late husband wrote.

[@leondee918]

The hanfu is so gorgeous. How come the Chinese people ditch their hanfu

[@peterolekvint3214]

It's my fault, I wanted to save the Padaung tribe, then the Chinese got their traditional clothes back too.

[@snowwhite-jt9cj]

🌞Great China has the human longest culture history. There’s so much beauty and wisdom still modern life people need to learn. ✨ ♥︎Love the Ancient traditional style looks very elegant and mysterious :)🌸

I think that's super elegant. Blending the old with the new to something distinctively you. Identity is hard to pin down but when you find it , it's very fulfilling.

[@junesiaheng1097]

Hanfu is great by its quality, perhaps needs to be simplify and modernise… Asian people look great in their own traditional clothes compared to west simple t shirt n pants….it looks more luxurious… it brings out the best of character n beauty… maybe, more modern n simplify hanfu for 21st century

I think it's expensive, so not many have embraced it.

[@delancy1995]

Well,actually Hanfu is not all very expensive, its price will vary according to the fabric material of the clothes, the complexity of the embroidery process and other factors, some Hanfu is not only beautiful and the price is very reasonable, and there are so many kinds of Hanfu, everyone can afford to buy Hanfu that they like, you can go to Taobao to pick and buy the Hanfu you like.❤

[@notallwhowanderarelost548]

The chestest hanfu I got was only US$15 3-piece hanfu of Tang dynasty, The quality was better than expectation. I also got some in the middle price range about US$120~150 . Excellent quality. Worth the price.

[@notallwhowanderarelost548]

Hanfu that exceeds 300 RMB that is usually of nice quality (US$40)

[@priyanksaikia5549]

Hanfus that look very modern and can be a Global Fashion Wear must br brought out for the public with New TextileFabrics. I am sure Most Textile ResearcH Institutes in China has been researching on many different types of fabrics but I donot see them coming iut with any New Styles. Where is the China Chic kind of styles ? Like we have Mandarin Collar Tshirts and Shirts that are popular worlwide and we have Chinos , the twill fabric that came out of China but beyond that We need New Collar Styles in Mens and Should introdice New Summer and Winter Styles that fit extremely well with the Physiology of The Body of many ethnicities worlwide...Clothes , like hairstyles, go through a transformative state every 100 yrs...America did with Denims and they are today a part of our InformalWear. Can China introduce something New and Refreshing Informar Wear today? Can we even introduce New Formal Wears? Think New China.Donot fall for that Ancient Piece of Our Clothing. It look beautiful when we view China 100s of yrs back..But This is 21st Century..We need tl Modernise our Hanfus and even introduce New Textile Materials..Which only Fashion Designers and Researchers can do.... TAKE NOTE OF THIS COMMENT.THIS MAKES MORE SENSE THAN WEARING OLD HANFUS IN TODAY's TIME

[@priyanksaikia5549]

Hanfus are beautiful from an Ancient Pount of View but the World keeps moving forward. We need New Styles of Hanfus if it were to ever made to popularize like Europeans did with their Clothing..The suits and shirts we were today, they didnt use to wore those in the before 16th century. China must look for New Textile Materials with New Styles for the entire world...This is why western culture is popular because they keep modernizing everything..After all that we are doing from Science to Technology to Military to Economy, PleaseGo through a Cultural Modernisation to meet the needs of the 21st century and beyond....Focus On the Future as well

[@marytiuseco2960]

​@JuriK what foreign invaders you're talking about that have influenced the Chinese attire? The mongolians and the Manchurians are the only non-han Chinese that have ruled china. So the dress at those times were different than the traditional hanfu.

[@qiaowang7147]

​@@ducanhvu4588 I really like the round circular headpiece in yuefu, It's really beautiful especially with flowers. What is that circularpiece called in Vietnam?

[@qiaowang7147]

​​@@marytiuseco2960 Not just foreign invaders, during Tang dynasty there were many culture exchanges and influences. Some were influenced by Ancient Indian others by Persia and Arabs.🎉

[@Hoo88846]

@Juriki only two dynasties were ruled by foreigners. Don’t try to distort history. Japan, Korea and Vietnam are collectively called the Sinosphere. Japanese culture is Chinese Tang Dynasty culture replica. Korean culture is Chinese Ming Dynasty culture replica. Google search for “Japanese missions to Tang Dynasty” and “Japanese missions to imperial China”.

[@markchan8110]

Chinese young talent fashion designer should design some formal hanfu suit for your political and business leaders. Instead of wearing formal western suit for all your formal meetings . Just look at the traditionally modern inspired clothing that Modi and some of their movie stars are wearing. I am sure it would be a very lucrative business designing such clothing for both political and business leaders.

No one has forgotten the cheongsam. And, your emoji is a kimono, not a cheongsam.

[@johnyqu5745]

Now Qipao has been already popular in the group of Chinese, there is no need to revive. Because Hanfu has been forgotten for almost four hundred years, and that’s why we need to bring our culture back. In the future maybe the Chinese women will wear Hanfu and Qipao both in the traditional festival
