Do you know Han fu?  

Han fu is the traditional clothes of Han Chinese.
Han Chinese have kept to wear this kind of clothes for thousands years until Manchu occupied the whole China and establih Qing dynasty.Then,you know chinese began to wear cheong-sam and keep plait.
This is not the really cultrue of Han people,the main race of chinese people.
Years ago,some han people began to resume this almost vanished culture.They wear it as a semaphore for a culture awakening of old china.They pick up old classic of confucius,Lao tzu,and other great men of china.Because the China which once has been the richest country in the world comes from it.
Anyhow,this kind of cloths is beautiful.Much of the pepole wears it just for a show.
