As a historical style of clothing worn and developed by the Han people in China, hanfu has witnessed the long journey of Chinese civilization over the millennia. Based on historical records and textual research, this hanfu show brings to the stage the clothing of four ancient dynasties - including the Jin, Tang, Song and Ming. To celebrate China's Dragon Boat Festival, or Duanwu Festival, many festive elements also feature in the show. This video is part of a special festive program presented by China Media Group (CMG) on Thursday to celebrate the festival. Featuring various kinds of art forms such as singing, dancing, drama and recitals, the program will transport audiences to picturesque Zigui, the hometown of the great Chinese patriotic poet Qu Yuan.

Beautiful heritage 🎉

[@freeworld88888]

chinese are classy people, their cultures are very refined, their foods , wines, women, men, childrens, old are all very classy people. very welcoming, charming people. There is no place as pratical and kind and helpful as the Chinese. People sings, people dances, people play games , rarely I saw any dullness after working on and off in Humen zhen, zhong shan, shanghai, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Jinan, Naning. I surely missing it.

[@rudichong3869]

Well said thanks for saying that but you’re missing out something we Han Chinese are also noble and majestic people which has a strong noble and majestic traditions and monarchy that should not be looked down upon

[@huckleberrypeen8025]

[@haniahannslew4108]

[@andreastano7920]

I love it so much. Please post the previous full performance of Xi'an that was attended by many delegations from different countries.

[@sunshinesun121]

Once a while I wear Hanfu ( For Men). Not as Classic and traditional as shown. But more simple design. Comfortable and great for weekends outing. Good to remember the Classic Clothes Chinese Wore.

[@davidlum2001]

I need to watch it again just to listen to the music once more.

[@Vassi_Drakonov]

For those wondering, the evolution of the Han fashion shown here is in this sequence: Han Dynasty -> Tang Dynasty -> Song Dynasty -> Ming Dynasty

[@kiyoshitakeda452]

Excellent !!!

[@Haijwsyz51846]

Love Hanfu. Beautiful clothes beyond words.Want to have one of each.

I wish our government would keep promoting our traditional Chinese culture out to the world in a more impactful way. It’s inconceivable that China only has 3/4 of a million foreign residents whilst Japan has more than 2 million and Korea 1.5 million. We are a huge country with so much to offer we should be making it easier for tourists to visit and make China a foreigner friendly country. So many people are put off by the idea of visiting China because they think we are a dangerous, poor country by association with communism. We are anything but. I myself am Chinese Costa Rican, born and raised abroad. I have never had a Chinese passport and every time I wish to visit China, my motherland I need to get a tourist visa. It’s ridiculous. I think China as a world leader should project itself as an open and friendly country, I understand visas are done for the purposes of controlling the influx of foreign individuals in a country but China is not making it easy for people to get a visa. It’s a major bureaucratic hurdle. China can benefit hugely by changing people’s perceptions of our country and also economically.

[@colincolin2420]

too many foreigner is a problem not a blessing . there are just too many foreigner wanting to get to China just to make video denigrating Chinese people example are these so called foreign "journalist" telling lies even when they report from within China itself

[@ChengliangPan]

No, you're not Chinese. Your ancestor abandoned their country when China was poor, no way for them and their descendants to share the fortune when China is rich. We have 1.4bn people, we don't need more!

[@ducanhvu4588]

I think Chinese will be a next superpower of the world ! Your economy is strong , your influence , your culture , your herirage .... is amazing and beauty and its must share to much more over the world ! Hail from Vietnam ! Don't forget us ! We vietnamese always support you and we are your sinosphere friend ( Chinese influence ) !

漢服交領右袵寬袍大袖 華麗大氣端莊飄逸 一群美女遊倘在青山綠水間 優雅美姿儀真是賞心悦目

[@jivvyjack7723]

Would have been much better if there were captions identifying which dynasty or period of time they belonged to.

[@otaviodelucca3573]

Based on my knowledge. Until 1:32 it was Han-Three Kingdoms. From 1:32 to 3:31 it was Three Kingdoms-Tang. From 3:31 to 5:12 it was Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms-Song. And finally, from 5:12 to the end of the video it was Ming.

[@otaviodelucca3573]

I have my doubts about the first period though. For Tang, Song and Ming I'm quite sure that those were the styles.

[@indeficit2]

It's Hanfu. That means it's from the HAN dynasty.

[@Wvk5zc]

​@@indeficit2Han refers to the ethnic grp, not dynasty...

[@jivvyjack7723]

@@otaviodelucca3573 Thank you so much.

I am interested in waterfall background. Where in China is this?

[@vytautasbeliauskas8129]

Can someone text me please songs name and artist in English thanks.

[@hongqi5734]

The Chinese government should set every Sunday the day for wearing Hanfu in every city. It will give an extra boost to the economy in the garment manufacturing sector. Imagine what the revenue will be even if just 50% of the population starts wearing Hanfu, and in reality, Hanfu is very graceful. Moreover, it will help bring back our culture.

[@haniahannslew4108]

Many people are wearing Hanfu without government setting any day.

[@priyanksaikia5549]

Hanfus are well and Nice. But their appeal has worn off in modeen times. Besides, If Chinese Keeps on wearing Hanfus how would tbe Modernisation set in? If Europeans wore their 13-14th century attire even today how and where would the world be?

[@Philosofia54]

恰恰相反，汉服正在越来越受到更多中国人的喜爱，并伴随文化自信的重新建立，成为当下的新潮流。并且，富有包容性的多样款式和美丽的形制让它可以很好地适应现代生活的许多场景。

[@NP1066]

You're Indian and you say this?

[@mimimoneymachine]

You are indian, you guys wear clothing that traces back to the indus valley civilization. If anything you guys are living somewhat in the past still. Hanfu is simply a resurgence of ancient culture before the qing dynasty and the cultural revolution.

[@haniahannslew4108]

Are you telling me that modernization is not set in India because India people still wear their traditional ancient clothes everyday? Many Japan people still wear their ancient clothes kimono 👘 everyday. So why is modernization set in Japan?

[@haniahannslew4108]

What a bunch of nonsense

[@KittyNinjas]

Beautiful scenery but mindset is old and rusty

[@Hoo88846]

What do you mean by mindset old and rusty?

[@Linkwii64]

Sometime you just have to escape into the past for a few days of the year to celebrate life.

[@SpikeOuu]

What do you mean? Many ppl from another countries also restored their traditional costumes. Are their mindset old and rusty?

[@Hoo88846]

CIA funded bot spotted

[@Sean-giang]

​@@SpikeOuuit's cosplay. Japan, mongolia korea and Vietnam actually still wear these clothes on special occasions. No one in china, hk, Taiwan or Singapore does. Qipao and cheongsam are the traditional clothes not hanfu
