Dressed in a flowing long robe with beaded floral embroidery(珠串刺绣) from the past era, stylist Xiao Hang looks like coming from a time machine, attracting a lot of curious glances and questions.
China has made Western fashion and technology fall together with its high-speed development in recent years. At the same time, the government has also increased the publicity and learning of traditional Chinese culture from the aspects of education, culture, entertainment and so on, which seems to make period dramas and traditional "hanfu" or "Han clothing" become hot overnight. The Story of Minglan, a TV series set in the Song Dynasty,got more than 400 million viewers in three days when it was released(发行). A growing number of young people like Xiao are looking to the past for their clothing choices and wearing hanfu. These historic costumes of the Han ethnic majority are enjoying a renaissance(复兴)
There is no clear uniform standard of hanfu because each Han-dominated dynasty had its own style, but the outfits are characterized by loose, flowing robes with sleeves that hang down to the knees. In modem China, the hanfu community spread to the different walks of life, from elderly history lovers to young professionals, and even to students.
Jiang Xue, who is from Beijing-based hanfu club Mowutianxia, said, " If we as a people and as country do not even understand our traditional clothing or don't wear them, how can we talk about other basic parts of our culture? "
Yang Jiaming, a high school student in Beijing, wears his outfit under his school uniform. "Two-thirds of my wardrobe is hanfu, " he said, dressed in a Tang-style gown and black boots, adding that his classmates and teachers have been backing up him. They are in agreement with his idea that clothes are the foundation of culture.
There is some way before hanfu can be accepted by most of the people in China. Some say sometimes they will lose heart by the strange looks when wearing hanfu in public.

Flying a kite with my father is the most happiest memory in my childhood. I remember the day that I was running alongside my Father. He held the kite string, waiting the kite to catch the wind. He slowed, handed me the string, and teach me how to hold it. “Don’t let go! Keep going!” he shouted. I kept running, out of breaths. Over and over I tried but failed. She told me not to give up. Eventually, I ran too fast that I made the kite fly highly in the air. Filling with excitement, I watched a kite dancing in the sky.
