Mixing old with new

Is there anyone around you wearing a horse - face skirt? It is a type of hanfu, the traditional style of clothing of the Han people. It is now getting so popular that some people wear it daily.
On 6 March, an online report showed that the order for horse - face skirts among female users went up by 841 percent compared to the past year.
As hanfu becomes popular, traditional and modern fashions are coming together. This has influenced not only clothing styles but also people’s cultural ideas.
Some hanfu lovers think that each design of hanfu has its own cultural meaning. They believe these should be strictly followed. However, other buyers think beauty and comfort are more important.
Zhou Shuang, 37, designs character outfits(服装) for film and television. She pointed out that for those who don’t know much about traditional clothing, it’s understandable that they want to mix ancient beauty and modern fashion.
This is known as the neo - Chinese style. “Neo - Chinese style clothing doesn’t only use traditional elements(元素). It puts together modernity and tradition naturally,” said Zhou. She added that it shows how traditional beauty continues to be valued by Chinese people today.
“I’ve noticed that there are so many people wearing horse - face skirts on the streets now, from young women to children. It’s unbelievable,” said Wang Zicheng, a 23 - year - old hanfu lover.
