Young people in China want traditional Han clothing back in fashion 

Not gonna lie, i wouldnt mind people dressing like romans and greeks

Traditional clothing needs come back to the whole world.

No wonder they want it back, it's drop-dead gorgeous!

Imagine the world's countries themed as a period in their history but with a level of technology as today. Lit!

Here in Scotland we can wear traditional kilts and tartans whenever we like, so I wish them well with their project.

This makes sense. Both the Japanese and Koreans dress traditionally for certain occasions. Why not the Chinese?

It's pretty, it's traditional, it's feminine, it's modest, it has styles for both men and women of all heights, sizes and ages. I say, go for it!

Yall are overthinking it, people just wanna revive it for fashion and cultural identity, no politics

I can’t lie. China traditional outfits look stunning, wow

I am 100 percent for this, so long as I get to wear Victorian clothes whenever I want.

I am Chinese-Filipino. In both cultures, both traditionally wear conical hats when farming rice. I live in America and bought a hat like this at Epcot. I was worried about the stigma of wearing it in public, but a lot of people actually complimented me for wearing it. It made me happy and realize that it's not hard to just be yourself and try things like this, even if you are on the opposite side of the world. :)

A saw a picture of a young Chinese soldier wearing what looked like traditional Han clothes. he was tall, looked into the distance, with so much confidence in the way he way standing. he had a horse in the background and was just oozing masculinity. that's the most beautiful picture I've ever seen

In Japan we love our yukatas and kimonos. If Chinese people want Han clothing I'd say go for it, there is no bad nationalism here

When I see someone wearing traditional clothing on the street, I'd never think negatively of that person, in fact it'd be the opposite of that, I'd only think it's impressive.

Han Chinese: are proud of their identity and showing it off with beautiful clothing White Chinese studies "expert": This is troubling

Makes me want to tell everyone in Hawaii to start wearing our traditional clothes. It would be so cool

This is interesting because in JAPAN festivals and visitors will wear their traditional clothing kimono. China should normalize their Han clothing

White foreign dude: This is a conspiracy to make the youth nationalist! Chinese woman: We just like the clothes.

I came across Hanfu dresses on the internet and thinking I may wear it to an upcoming dance. The more I delve into it’s culture and background, the more I’ve come to realize just how much this outfit means to the people from China. If I do end up wearing it to the dance I will wear it with pride even if I’m not Asian. I know I’ll get a lot of looks and questions as I’ve never seen it before, but it is such an elegant dress style that I could care less what people think

I'm not even Chinese, and I'd love to wear a gorgeous Chinese dress. But scared about the social outrage.

Americans: get the powdered wigs boys, we high fashion now

That's it. I'm getting me a Viking outfit.

Why does it not bode well? The majority of Chinese are still proud to call themselves Han Chinese even though the Han dynasty has passed many centuries ago. The Manchu and Mongolian people can still wear their own dynastic clothes if they want to, nobody is stopping them.

remember everyone: you can love the clothing, but you don't have to love the social standards

Chinese youth in the 60's: Smash and destroy old culture! Also Chinese youth, but 2010's: Where did our cultural identity go?

I swear if this becomes a trend around the whole world, I'll be soooo thankful abt it

Traditional clothing needs to come back. All of it is so beautiful and unique

What they said is kinda true. Whenever I search videos to learn about Chinese dynasties, customs and habits, nearly 95% of the videos are related to the Qing. I try my best to learn about the Han culture. I'm happy that now people are involving themselves more in the Han Revival Movement.

We Indians never left our traditional clothing for Western attire. I would love to see more traditional outfits everywhere in the world. Lots of love to China

I don't like how the world has become one homogeneous culture everything has become more Americanised we all need to be proud of our cultures and embrace them.

This is not fringe nationalism,this is called cultural revival.

For foreign friends, as Han Chinese, i want to say that our country was occupied by Manchu in 1644. Manchu forced us to wear their clothes and wear pigtails. The revival of Hanfu is a cultural phenomenon. I don't support CCP, but I love my nation.

In Japan seeing a kimono in Tokyo is not that rare. It's nice that they could keep this traditional clothing in their daily life.

This fascinates me as a Scotsman, as we wear kilts to special occasions e.g: weddings, funerals etc. You should wear this cultural dress with pride!

I live in an ethincally diverse suburb in Australia! I see a lot of older people continuing to wear traditional clothing while out of daily tasks. I think it's really pretty and I'm glad they have a way to keep connecting to their culture while living in a new country.

No joke, I wouldn’t mind if traditional clothing came back

This makes sense. Wearing traditional clothes for festivals. Very much like Japan, Kimonos...etc. Always nice to see China bring back old traditions after the Qing and the Great Leap Forward took it away.

Lol that guy's so worried about "cultural diversity" and it's not even his own country.

Don't blame them, I kinda wish there would be a revival of Celtic clothing here in Ireland.

I know I’m black but I’m tempted to have clothing like that too no joke I love Chinese people

Brits "I want to dress like a Victorian" Americans *Wild West intensifies*

Traditional clothing is beautiful in its own way. Globalisation has lead the world to dress in the same way, wearing the same basic silhouettes consisting of jeans and t-shirts. Ethnic clothing should never have diminished as much as it has.

If Japanese people can wear their traditional clothes on their streets, why can't Chinese people?

Nothing wrong with Han people wanting to wear their own ethnic clothing, just like a Manchu wanting to wear Manchu Qipao clothing. all ethnic groups in China are welcomed to wear their ethnic clothing. So why is Han people wearing a Hanfu an issue? In fact, they were oppressed too long from enjoying their culture by being forced Manchu clothing. Kudos to Young Han people to finally be okay to wear Han clothing

Indains already wear their traditional clothes as everyday clothing, although they have seperate attires for casual and formal occasions. So I see nothing wrong or abnormal with this.

Modern T-shirts and pants are so boring, we need traditional clothing back everywhere.

I love the Hanfu style. It’s one reason I’m hooked on Chinese historical dramas.

Modern Western clothing is the real enemy. Speaking as a modern westerner, our clothing is boring and corporate corporate and... I don't want it. I've been adding elements of older clothing styles to my everyday clothing, and honestly it's just better. I can definitely understand and support a traditional clothing movement in China!

I get the reasons behind this movement, but shouldn't we acknowledge that you could just wear hanfu for aesthetic reasons? Not everything needs to be a political statement man.

I wore my Hanfu for my heritage day at school last year, it was hot but definitely worth it. I got tired of seeing the Qipao from the Asians and non Asians at school so I decided to go traditional.

Revival of Chinese traditions is just. Many in Singapore wouldn't understand. They have become anglos. Maybe the ones in Malaysia will feel some affinity.

I’d love to embrace this even though I’m not Chinese. If Levi’s are worn around the world I hope to be able to wear Hanfu or Saree respectfully without offending anyone. Beautiful attire and peace and love to all.

A return to tradition from the youth is happening all over the world, turkey, iran, china, japan and all over the west

Umm, don't the Japanese wear their Kimonos in public whenever they feel like it? I think people just want to wear beautiful things.

Its basically like how in the US, everyone wants to dress like the 80s or 60s...

Elegance is what pops into my mind when I see such clothing

I'm very skeptical of what that man is saying about conspiracy theorists. I'm more inclined to believe what the woman said about personal expression and a search for cultural identity. Here in Austria, wearing our traditional dress (dirndl and lederhosen) has had a revival for about ten years. In our case, I think it's got to do with our people finally being able to express a love for our country again without fearing that others might think we're nazis for that. But on a personal level, I think most young people here that wear dirndl or lederhosen just enjoy the look and take pride in being able to wear a style of clothing that has a lot of history. I can also imagine that Chinese see that Japanese wear their kimono, and Koreans nowadays wear hanbok more often too, and get a feeling of wanting to reintroduce hanfu as well. Wearing traditional clothing IS a nice way to feel closer to your cultural heritage in a very globalised world, I know that firsthand. And as beautiful as qipao are - isn't it nice for a people as large and culturally diverse as the Chinese to have a broader variety of things to choose from?

I’m ethnically Han, but didn’t find out about hanfu until 4-5 years ago. Two years ago, I wore a hanfu to a cultural themed university ball and so many ppl kept asking why I was wearing a Korean outfit!

Seems Traditional HAN clothing is the most beautiful Clothing in CHina. even I am not chinese, I support HAN Clothing revival

Understandable. They're pretty and those cultivation novels has been a hit for years now.

India has preserved it's ancient clothing style in spite of the British and Islamic invasions, sarees and kurta dhoti are all still worn everyday by many people. Though in weddings and festivals there are more richer and more colourful clothes worn.

This looks so much more appropriate and elegant and classy

Ngl after seeing how beautiful and graceful the clothing in The Untamed and similar dramas are, I totally support this!

Hanfu has influenced the traditional clothing of many neighbouring cultures, including the Korean hanbok,[7][8] the Japanese kimono (wafuku),[9][10] the Okinawan ryusou,[11][12] and the Vietnamese áo giao lĩnh (Việt Phục).[13][14] Up to a certain extent, hanfu has also influenced some elements in Western fashion, especially those influenced by Chinoiserie fashion, due to the popularity of Chinoiserie since the 17th century in Europe and in the United States.[15]: 52 [note 1] Silk remains a core element of Hanfu and Chinese traditional clothing.

I personally like Han clothing, it looks very elegant.

Traditional clothing is not "nationalist", only U Americans with only 300 years of histories would think that lol.

Please let this be a global trend!

This is an excellent movement. I hope it grows to become the majority popular clothing style in China. And I hope huge revivals of traditional clothing and other culture occurs all across the planet. For far far too long Western culture and clothing has dominated. It's not right. And I am British. But it is not right.

it used to make me so sad thinking of such beautiful clothes werent worn nowadays by its own ppl anymore, even occsionally when chinese wear hanfu it would be mistaken as kimono or kanbok (bith of which are based on hanfu) all nations are starting to lose their unique identity gradually. seeing this just make me so happy, young gen has done great job of reviving their culture

The Hanfu is absolutely gorgeous, I had no idea that it existed prior to this video. In my opinion, I truly believe traditional clothing should be brought back.

Honestly, I can say that I would like traditional clothing back as well. We can be local in a very global world. Also, all those people in han traditional clothes are so cute!

Simplify it and officials should wear it in the office like batik in Indonesia we wear it on friday.

Do we need a white dude criticizing what we should wearing? Why not focusing your own country

I love hanfu, im not chinese, but their traditional clothing is beautiful, so for me, I'd like if hanfu and medieval dresses could take over the world again cuz I love them and I wouldnt mind wearing them at all

The clothes are so beautiful, I love them I don't know why people always have to put an agenda on everything I bet some people including me just see the beauty of the clothes and feel like I want to wear them and show it off, there are so many amazing traditional clothes that are just elegant and beautiful and I wish more cultures would wear their traditional clothes out and about. I know that in some jobs it would be a safety hazard or just inconvenient to wear traditional clothes but I think for going out and having fun it's perfect. I love the flowy-ness of the dresses and now I want one. On a side note I wish that everyone could wear clothes that they just liked no matter what race or culture they are or what race or culture the clothes were from this would make me happy.

It's a long long way to Ba Sing Se, but the girls in the city they look so pretty!

Question to the white guy being interviewed: So you think that wearing a Western style collared shirt and suit IS celebrating diversity?

The clothes look fly, *of course* they want them back! As a Ugandan I admire when other Africans (Nigerians, Kenyans, etc) wear their traditional clothing. I also admire when cultures from around the world display their style... I wish traditional clothing was a worldwide movement because, to me, we are beautiful in our uniqueness! Love and respect to China! ✌💕

Fun fact the Han Dynasty were one of the only ruling governments that put peasants as the second highest social rank! Followed my Artisans than merchants. China had a beautiful and prosperous time under the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Not gonna lie, i wont mind if people start dressing in traditional clothes from all over the world . i really like those hanfu outfits they look so amezing just like any asian traditional chlothing .

There's a huge thing about people saying nationalism = bad. I think its not true. National identity should be much more celebrated thing. That doesn't make anyone racist to be proud of your ancestry, and being proud of your ancestry should not be used as a guise for racism. I'm really happy that Chinese are starting to wear their traditional clothing. Many more people and nations should do that more, imo.

In Austria, traditional clothing, lederhosen and dirndl are also having a modern renaissance and are getting very popular. Perhaps its worldwide trend :)

Those academics interviewed in the video are way overthinking it. People simply want to put on traditional clothing, which is great! Having people dress in their ethnic clothing embraces diversity rather than suppressing it.

I think their traditional clothes are beautiful, I'm so happy a piece of history is being revived instead of being forgotten ❤

As a history enthusiast from Central Europe I'm all in for the traditional clothing revival. I love wearing medieval clothes for daily occasions :)

Now that food and shelter is not so much of an issue in China, people are looking to art and culture for spiritual fulfilment. I always thought the traditional Han clothing in movies and dramas were beautiful. Would love to see a true modern revival in my lifetime, and perhaps we will also see the styles of the old great dynasties like the Tang and Qin too.

i keep coming back to this cause i love the style!

The clothing and style is so beautiful. I'm glad they feel connected to their heritage with these styles.

Honestly those dresses look comfortable and so beautiful. Modem clothing isn’t as beautiful as older styles.

and a couple of times a year my husband and I wear medieval clothing from a certain period in germany. so what? could we just let people wear what they wanna wear?

I actually wondered if that could have been possible in Italy (I'm Italian), but the style has changed a lot during the centuries and it was also influenced a lot because of the different kingdoms and empire we did become part of. Maybe the type of clothing from the 16 to 18th century would be cool, but at the same time extremely expensive

I APPLAUD THEM .. I ALWAYS WONDER WHY ASIANS LEFT THEIR BEAUTIFUL CLOTHING FOR THE DULL WESTERN WEAR.

There is nothing wrong with having national pride and celebrating it.

meanwhile ppl in the Middle East, South Asia and Africa: _What do you mean it's been out of fashion for decades?_

I applaud this. It is amazing to see people embrace their own history like this. The clothing also looks very nice.

and then comes legends like india were women wore saree as the formal dress in 2000 bce and wear saree as the formal dress even in 2000ce 😂 😂 😂

I LOVE THIS!!! I AM A BIG FAN OF CHINESE TRADITIONAL CLOTHING 😍 and seeing this makes me soft 💕

Can't blame them, always admired Han garments.

Chinese traditional clothes are so beautiful. 😍

I love the Han fashion, simply beautiful.
