Hanfu， meaning “Han clothing”， is based on the idea of donning costumes worn in bygone eras by Chinas Han ethnic group. Some of the most popular styles are from the Ming， Song and Tang dynasties.

About three-quarters of hanfu customers are between 16 and 24 years old. Members of this generation often see it as a way to rediscover and engage with their countrys traditional culture.

The main features of hanfu include collars， upper garments in the style of a skirt， jade ornaments and a sash， according to Wen Run， professor of textile design and industrial economics at Donghua University.

Materials such as brocade and yarn， along with traditional craftwork， including embroidery， are also hallmarks of the attire.

It has seen a resurgence in recent years， despite some initial public resistance. Its pretty exciting to see young Chinese people building up their self-confidence and developing their individuality to show the world what they love. For more Chinese， this dress code might become a good starting point to further explore the beauty of the countrys traditions.

Yang Na is one of those hanfu enthusiasts who have been dedicated to the revival of the costume for over a decade. As a media professional， she wears hanfu， talks about it and has even written a book about it， titled Hanfu Returns.

Song Xuan， a student from Harbin， in northeast Chinas Heilongjiang Province， said， “Hanfu is my daily outfit. In summer， I wear it alone. In winter， Ill put a warm sweater inside and a down coat outside.

Hanfu enthusiasts refer to themselves online as tongpao， which literally means wearing the same type of gown as a symbol of comradeship.

After more than a decade of development from the so-called “fantastical dress” to daily attire， hanfu has been through quite the change in status.

Whatever the controversies behind the new trend， some traditional beauty on modern streets will indeed add a bit of vitality and diversity to urban life.

汉服意为“汉民族传统服饰”，是基于人们穿过去时代的汉族服装这一理念。汉服最流行的款式来自明朝、宋朝和唐朝。

大约四分之三的汉服消费者年龄在16岁至24岁。这一代人常常把汉服看作重新发现和接触中国传统文化的一种方式。

东华大学纺织品设计与产业经济系教授温润称，汉服的主要特征包括领子、裙状上衣、玉饰和腰带。

织锦缎、纱线等材料，以及刺绣等传统工艺也是汉服的标志性特征。

尽管最开始出现了反对的声音，但近年来，汉服仍然流行了起来。看到中国年轻人树立自信，发展个性，向世界展示他们的所爱之物，这是颇为令人兴奋的事。对于更多的中国人来说，这一着装可能会成为他们进一步探索中国传统之美的一个良好起点。

杨娜是一名汉服爱好者，她致力于汉服的复兴已经超过十年。作为一名媒体从业人士，她穿汉服，聊汉服，甚至还写过一本关于汉服的书，书名是《汉服归来》。

来自中国东北黑龙江省哈尔滨市的学生宋璇说：“汉服是我每天的行头。夏天，我就单穿汉服。冬天，我会在汉服里面穿一件暖和的毛衣，外面再穿一件羽绒服。”

汉服爱好者在网上称自己为“同袍”，这个词的字面意思是“穿着同一种服装”，象征着同志情谊。

经过十余年的发展，汉服从所谓的“奇装异服”到日常着装，经历了相当大的地位变化。

不管这股新潮流背后有什么争议，但是現代街道上出现一些传统美确实会给城市生活增添一点活力和多样性。
