Xi’an celebrates the first-ever China Hanfu Day on April 18. There were shows which were held by people wearing traditional Chinese clothing — Hanfu. Hanfu fans from all over China gathered there to take photos and put them online for a Hanfu photo competition, which lasted until May 18.
China Hanfu Day is in the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar(农历), which is said to be the birthday of the Yellow Emperor(黄帝). In ancient China, this day was also known as Shangsi Festival(上巳节). Its purpose is to encourage young Chinese to take pride in traditional clothing.
Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han people who lived in China before the Qing Dynasty. It has a history of about 3,000 years and it has changed greatly so far. However, some of its main characteristics(特点) have remained. For example, there are two parts that overlap(交叠) on the front, which is called “jiao ling (crossing collar)”. Another main characteristic of Hanfu is that it usually uses ribbons(系带) instead of buttons.
