Young people in China are reviving old clothing, and maybe nationalism too

- They’re not cosplayers or period drama actors, but rather members of a booming movement to turn Hanfu, or ethnic Han clothing, into everyday wear.
The so-called Hanfu movement has gained a large following among the ethnic Han Chinese group, which makes up more than 90% of the Chinese population.
In the southern metropolis of Shenzhen, we joined some one thousand Hanfu enthusiasts on a day of Han clothing and culture. Watch the video to find out why young Chinese are embracing ancient dress.

This is awesome. Anything involving reviving and expressing culture should be celebrated. It's not like they are telling other cultures to not exist, just modernizing and normalizing hanfu.
Agreed. Just sad that this video tends to narrate hanfu negatively
Trueeee
You can wear traditional clothes out of aesthetic/appreciation and celebrate your own culture without having to involve politics into the mix
Biased video. If Japanese wears Kimono, no one bats an eye. If Han Chinese wears Hanfu, everyone lose their mind!
Excellent point and well said!
Actually whenever someone wears hanfu or kimono onlookers are indifferent (mostly), curious or they think the hanfu/kimono wearer is weird (they'll call you ninja, kung fu master or samurai 'where's you're katana?').
In Korea people wearing Hanbok is normal. In Vietnam people wearing Ao Dai is normal. But people in China think wearing Hanfu is weird. This is proof that the Qing Dynasty destroyed Chinese culture. Did you know that people were killed for not following Manchu dress code? Men who did not shave the front part of their head were executed. The Qings put strict sanctions to systematically oppress Han Chinese. It's the most likely reason why Hanfu seem strange to modern day folks. I saw a documentary where a millennial showed Hanfu clothing to her grandfather and he said he never saw such style and thought it was weird. That's the result of generations of oppression from Manchu rule.
@ H Boogie , it's rather because of the chinazis' destruction of all classical chinese culture as ' counter revolutionary ' . Where all cultural roots have disappeared the artificial reintroduction of a single outdated style rightly feels very weird .
that white dude talking about some conspiracy theories of how wearing your own traditional clothing somehow has deeper political meanings is ridiculous. Most kids who likes to wear hanfu wears it because it’s pretty.
documentary about china: oh let's ask a white man what he thinks
me: why? who cares what he thinks?
Is he white, or is he jewish?
@@hapaperspective jews today literally come from europe and are white people that tries to separate themselves from "just being white people". That azkenazim are white people 100%, as in not actual hebrews, not actual semites.
Notice hollywood portrays everyone as nordic whites.
When I did a news story and called macedonians and greeks white, i got the entire Baltic states coming after me telling me, we aren't white, alexander wasn't white, learn history.
Yet, flip open any book in america, turn on any movie... they're portrayed as white.
This guy: 100% white.
fun fact: 90% of "jews" are non-practicing.
They're kinda like women who don't call themselves feminists, but sure enjoy all the privileges feminist lobbyists afford them, like taking half of a man's wealth they had nothing to do with.
@@shakaama Jews will say they’re White when it benefits them or when they are trying to assume White identity to attack White identity - I.e. “As a White person, I apologize for slavery.” But in practice they don’t actually see themselves as White people, otherwise why would they constantly criticize white people and white power?
As a Japanese, what's the big deal about wearing traditional clothes? Even in Japan, I find that we don't wear traditional clothes enough.
You should be able to wear whatever you want. I love the Han clothing...
浅野先生你好
The West is insecure about seeing other more robust cultures being embraced and expressed.
Koreans wear hanbook, Japanese wear kimonos, and they get praised. But Chinese people wearing Hanfu and they get ridiculed? why?
Um, todays any koreans or japanese dont wear ancient clothing but the lastest garments in joseon and meiji period. So, their looks are lasting and natural, western ppl think hanbok and kimono are the costumes that represent their countries, but hanfu(which dynasty? which period??)is not. Qipao and cheongsam are only costumes represent China on them.
luv gum they are different style of hanfu. There are ones of the Song Dynasty, ones from the Tang, and ones from the Han, etc. Those are where traditional Japanese kimono and Korean Hanbok got their inspiration.
@@mochalatte04 Han, Tang, Song, Ming, all Han-ruled dynasties.
Bc korean tradition was inspired by chinese tradition and the it move to japan tradition
Because its a tradition that has no historical continuity. Chinese people have Qipao and Magua; no one ridicules them.
It is time Asian, African and Latin American countries reject the dull, boring and humiliating Western dress code!!
Listen to the background music being used: it's leaned towards negativity against Hanfu.
And you interviewed Kevin Carrico too, which I feel that he has bias against Hanfu and is trying his best to go against Hanfu
Ehhhh Kevin. I don't know what's wrong with him. He just stands against anything Chinese teens does.
ccp echo chamber , fake user names
@@ryanlogan7330 My professors once worked with Kevin Carrico. She said that Kevin used to be very "normal", but since he discovered that stigmatizing Hanfu could bring him fame (mostly because of the ethnic problem behind it), he went more and more extreme - now he stands against anything about China. What a shame in academia...
Nationalism? Most people nowadays wear western styled clothing and why isn’t that considered nationalism.
"What's called, hanfu, today".
Oh no, the term hanfu includes both genuine ancient traditional Han outfit and the modern adapted one.
And sorry western people inclusive of that senior lecturer who probably bought his PhD for Chinese culture. Han is a mixture of many ethnics into a undifferentiable larger group. So it would be funny to say it would discriminate the minority. We are above the discrimination phase and already went through the mixing phase.
I think it will serve as inspiration for those real minorities who are dominated by Jeans, t-shirts and suits, hanfu had a long dormant period and if it can come back alive the other ethnics around the world should be able to fight back westernisation too. Moreover western clothings don't carry much of any traditional culture relevant to the non western people.
Biased video, seriously what the hell is that Kevin guy talking about?? Leave the bs, this is just a way of people dressing up and feeling closer to their roots, it's not that deep bro
This is really good, restore tradition and love your own people!
Always wanted to wear an Hanfu of my own.
I don’t know if you can use Taobao in your country . You can buy different style of Hanfu on Taobao
Chinese wear their clothes, Japanese wear kimono, French wear beret, Russians wear ushanka, Americans wear cowboy hats, Greeks wear tsarouchi, Scottish wear kilt. What is the problem?
Yes yessss please!!!! chinese as well as for the Japanese, this the the best culture ever!!!
So this was where female Korean hanbok got it's influence?
Yeah mate,and that applies to Japan too
What the hell is up with the ironic music?
Good, destroy Anglo Saxon oligarchy.
People should be proud of their ancient cultural heritage. No doubt in any countries there may be nationalism but loving the Hanfu is perfectly fine. As an American who gives you the right to judge what is acceptable or not for the Chinese on cultural matters especially what they do in their homeland? Are they hurting or persecuting anybody No need to be biased about this. Do Chinese people judge Americans wearing a confederate uniform even when this can be associated with South and slavery? Hypocrites.
I learned a lot! Thank you for this
Okay, America if we do this just remember, go for the old west, not the colonial era... 1920-40s would also be acceptable.
Love it! Where can you buy it?
Families should at least be expected to wear traditional clothing at Chinese weddings.
As an American I would wear late 19th century Pioneer Clothing.
That clothing is positively stunning! Props to them for embracing their traditional cultural garments ^_^
这么好穿！
Whenever I see a Han fu gathering, I wear a Magua there just to see their reaction. Whenever my girlfriend wears a Hanfu, I wear a Magua to show my dominance.
This nationalism is a subtly referring to the topic of uyghur assimilation you hear in the media. That You can promote the wear what you want, as long you don't strip others off. Thats cultural enrichment.
Meanwhile in Xinjiang....
Clowny looking villagers , LOL!
Chinese should respect Manchu culture more than over Han culture if they want to keep 'one China' policy. It's not Han but Manchu rulers who completed modern Chinese territory including Taiwan, Tibet, Manchu, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang. These areas were traditionally 'foreign region' to Han ethnics that they have no historical affinities to these region. If Chinese keep only pursuing Han ethnicity in their nationalism, they will lose the legitimacy of their 'new' lands, being back to Ming dynasty's territory. It's why Qing Manchus should be the direct line of ancestry of China.
What could be more deceptive and ridiculous! It was the during the Manchurian reign that heralded the century of humiliation for the Chinese due to foreign incursions and carving up of the country (beginning with the opium war, unequal treaties etc). This was because the the Manchurian emperors were proud, dismissive of science and advancement but in reality weak, backwards and corrupt. The overthrow of the Ching (Manchu) empire started the recovery of the Chinese nation but this was interrupted by corrupt Manchurian general (Yuan ShiKai), warlordism, colonialism and Japanese empire.
@@victorkmlee Anyway, you chinese got completed the territory thanks to Manchus. If were not for Manchu, Han china guys could not even touch these lands- Xinjiang, Tibet, Taiwan, Manchuria- that had been foreign to Chinese history before Manchu.
’back to Ming dynasty's territory‘
Good, then we can have a Han country again.
@Troll77 Neptune Precisely.
That's why the CCP pomotes Tang Zhuang, not Hanfu
hanbook copy
Korean copying everything from China
Hanbok is the copy of Hanfu....
Anyways I like both
