Based on this data from Malaysia
Chinese people make up nearly seven million.
Six million nine hundred thousand
Then, take a look at who is following the Malaysian Hanfu Movement.
More than 15,000 people
So actually, that ratio isn't very large.
Whenever it comes to Chinese culture, I think
It should be up to us to carry it forward.
Because our culture has a long history
A history spanning more than 5,000 years
If this generation were to vanish
I think it's truly a great pity.
Also called Han clothing
Or a magnificent robe
refers to the traditional clothing of the Han Chinese
Before the Qing Dynasty
Hanfu comes from the Book of Han.
The character "Han" represents the Han King.
But in fact
Hanfu not only includes Han dynasty royal attire
Why did people previously oppose the Qing dynasty and seek to restore the Ming dynasty?
Rebellion against the Qing is what is referred to as barbarian behavior.
Barbarians rebel against the Qing and restore the Ming
It was because the barbarians invaded China.
Invaded China
Got China's
Took our Han people
Why would it perish?
He invaded this country.
He will undergo assimilation.
He wants to change your outfit.
Change your outfit
Long ago, we had a legend.
It began with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
There is a historical event that
Our Emperor speaking
The clothes are already blowing in the wind.
And the world is utterly full
At that time of the clothing
It's already in the雏形 of Hanfu.
It has already begun to develop.
And of course, when wearing this Hanfu
It's just that a system has been established.
It's like we're going to work at the company right now.
There will then be that system.
If it is institutionalized, then
The system at that time
That's how it has been carried on like this.
All the way to the Ming Dynasty
During the Ming Dynasty
It was when the Qing dynasty entered the pass.
and interrupted this Hanfu
Continued development
This is its history.
So our Hanfu
There was once a fault line
So let us who are alive today
It will gradually forget it.
Actually, we hold many preaching meetings.
The main purpose
to enable more people
Know this Hanfu and Han rites
Then also know the sales history of this Hanfu.
I think this Hanfu revival is amazing.
It means a lot to me.
Because of getting to know Hanfu
That also applies to me.
It also carries another profound meaning.
It's for us Chinese people
Cultural identity认同
There is a very important point about it.
If we examine our own cultural identity
If you don't认同
We will not accept Hanfu either.
So we start by getting to know Hanfu.
We are at this point
We also have an awakening.
Or a realization
We can then achieve this on a cognitive level
A profound affirmation
I am Chinese.
I have a Chinese cultural identity.
I should do something.
Hanfu is one of them.
That's why I think, from accepting Hanfu
It could be said that it has ascended to a higher level.
Acknowledge your cultural identity
And also try to imagine
In this identity
What should I do?
Then let's proceed from this process
It makes many people feel that
Value our own culture even more.
And go on imagining
We should safeguard cultural identity
What to do?
That's why I feel from this process
Within the broader Chinese cultural context
It can be somewhat helpful to Chinese society.
Wearing Hanfu in public places
At first, it was a bit awkward.
Why is that?
Because Hanfu
Although in principle we
Know that this is the ethnic attire of the Chinese people.
But after all, it has been broken for many years.
More than three hundred years ago
What we currently know about Hanfu
We all would feel like that
It is the costume for theater.
Or it is the attire of a Taoist priest.
or the clothing of a Buddhist monk
So just put it on.
One inevitably ends up feeling
You must be the bad guy.
Or are you perhaps a Taoist priest?
Are you filming a movie?
Then others will all look at us with strange eyes.
So at the beginning
Although I know in my heart that the principle is correct
But it's inevitable that there will be
Others will gaze upon it with a visionary eye.
Then a bit of courage is needed.
Of course we
I could also say that I've positioned myself as a
The identity of the promoter
That's why I'll bravely face it.
Then there are those who don't understand.
Just laugh it off.
As for some people, though
It will impose some mental pressure on us.
Or they might fear us on the internet
So I think this is also a challenge.
In Malaysia
Some people might find it strange.
I think Hanfu is very beautiful.
Very beautiful
Moreover, it is also a part of Chinese tradition.
A heritage, I think
That's why I think Hanfu is quite beautiful.
I think there are increasingly more young people nowadays.
They like wearing Hanfu when going out on the streets.
It's just to commend and praise.
It's about inheriting this Hanfu culture.
So I think in the future,
There may be an increasing number of young people
If you try this outfit
I think it would look better.
I only know that Hanfu is
Traditional clothing of the Chinese nation
So I don't really understand it either.
Because recently I've also seen many people
It's about filming videos on Hanfu.
Uploaded to some media outlets around the world
For example, TikTok and the like
Due to the current advanced state of the internet
Moreover, Hanfu is also the traditional clothing of the Han Chinese.
That's why I think it can absolutely be regarded as an era.
I think this media
Even social media self-media
That is to say, it's kind of like Douyin.
Nowadays, many people are playing
It's been of great help.
that is, promoting us to
The cultural aspects of Hanfu
And of course, it's also because of this thing
When I used to wear this hanfu to teach classes
When teaching violin
Students will inevitably ask.
Teacher, are you going to work at Susie's?
Sell Susie?
Some parents even ask
Are you going to study to become a Taoist priest or something?
Then I told them
No, that still requires explanation.
That recent TikTok
Douyin has truly spread widely.
Even now it is
We haven't really said much to the students either.
Then the students themselves immediately saw
Teacher, you're wearing Hanfu.
Then they will really like it
Then they'll ask where the teacher bought it.
But because I'm still in the student phase
They can't afford it much of the time either.
Then I will tell them
After you go out into society and start working
When one has the ability
Just go buy it yourself.
The hanfu I like
Today, Hanfu is not just about the ancient past.
Even more modern
In recent years
Chinese youth are progressing.
Bring back traditional Chinese Hanfu
It has existed for a thousand years.
I filmed a video wearing Hanfu.
And upload it to their social media
I think its trend is becoming increasingly younger.
Because of the recent social media
Many people wearing Hanfu are young.
When I was involved, it was that era.
About six to seven years ago
Most are probably over thirty or forty years old.
Lately, over these past few years, I've seen many young people
Will attend this event
So I think the more it becomes youthful, the better.
Youth is the master of the nation's future.
So it can be the driving force behind this trend.
I think
I wish there were more Chinese people.
You can know our traditional clothing.
If we go by this data from Malaysia
Chinese people make up nearly seven million.
Six million nine hundred thousand
Then, take a look at who is following the Malaysian Hanfu Movement.
More than 15,000 people
So actually, that ratio isn't very large.
Whatever is Chinese culture
I think it should be up to us to carry it forward.
Because our culture has a long history
A history spanning more than 5,000 years
If this generation were to vanish
I think it's truly a great pity.
Then I strongly encourage young people
Especially young people
Because young people are the pillars of the nation's future.
Then let them participate more.
More studying
Love your own culture
Then many now seeing
Today's young people might not have dreams anymore.
I don't know what I'll do in the future.
Then I think I can participate in more of these activities.
Get to know more friends
Then you can also broaden your own horizons a bit more.
The more friends you get to know, the better.
What do you want for your future?
One can also gain a deeper understanding
I just hope that more of our Chinese compatriots
There can be more responses to serve as promoters.
After all, promoters have played a significant role in the advancement of the Hanfu Movement.
They play a relatively important role.
Of course, some people feel that wearing just one piece of clothing is enough.
Or just knowing this information is enough for me.
Then the more promoters there are
can allow this spark to ignite
It can then develop even more extensively.
Because one promoter can promote to many individuals
And enable more people to understand
Will bring in more promoters
More sparks of fire
That's why I think the Hanfu Movement
There should be more promoters.
Then it will develop in a very positive way.
Very quickly
