If traditional Chinese culture were a gold mine(金矿), then Zhong Yetang would be the miner.
Zhong is now a full−time vlogger with almost 200,000 followers on a social platform. Zhong has a special style as she tries to bring ancient history back to life in a creative way. She is finding a relationship between traditional culture and modern design.
“I don’t want people to see some Chinese ancient culture as boring and far−off,” she said, “we have a duty to make the past serve the present and it can be cool and fashionable and something we can play with.” She recreates dishes from ancient books, makes short plays that tell ancient people’s life stories and compares Chinese customs with similar Western ones. For example, she played two roles as the ancient beauties Xishi and Yang Yuhuan, making them compete in a rap battle with each other.
In another video, Zhong wears costumes(服装) from the 56 ethnic(民族的) groups of China. Half of them were bought, and the other half were self−designed. It took her almost two years to prepare for it.
“I didn’t expect that it would take so long and that I’d face so many challenges,” she said. To make the clothing true to the ethnic groups, Zhong studied a lot of reading material and got information from local people. But she found that some culture had been lost.
“I’m impressed most by the Hezhe ethnic group. Their clothes were made from fish skin,” Zhong said. “But due to its lack of practical value, fish skin was gradually replaced by silk and cloth. As a result, fewer people now know how to make it.” She tried hard to restore one of these costumes as authentically(真正地) as possible. After studying in the US for three years, she found that many Americans were curious about Chinese culture. That inspired her to devote herself to becoming a “gold miner of traditional Chinese culture” after she graduated. She is making her videos available on various popular video platforms.
