The first competition in the Northwest Division of the 2025 Sohu Video Li Yi Huaxia (礼衣华夏) Hanfu Model Contest was held at the Xinghan Shengjing Scenic Area in Hanzhong. Hanfu enthusiasts transformed into "time - travelers", presenting a visual feast with their gorgeous costumes and elegant postures. Using Hanfu as the brush and postures as the ink, they outlined a stunning visual event. This event not only pays pious respect to the traditional cultural context but also pushes the aesthetic realm to the extreme. Every stitch of the embroidery tells the texture of civilization, and every swaying step is a modern expression of Eastern charm, enabling a philosophical dialogue about beauty between tradition and fashion in the interplay of light and shadow.
Star - studded Guests
The guests for the Hanzhong division of Li Yi Huaxia included elites from various fields such as cultural production, hosting, event organization, and Hanfu culture promotion. They, with their professionalism and enthusiasm, provided a high - quality platform for the contestants, jointly promoting the inheritance and development of Hanfu culture. This event has become an important milestone in the development of Hanfu culture in Hanzhong and even across the country, leading more people into the magnificent world of Hanfu culture.

From the selection of fabrics to the design of patterns, it was evident that they had a profound understanding of traditional culture."
Costumes through Dynasties
At the competition site, the contestants wore traditional costumes from different dynasties, ranging from the grandeur of the Qin and Han dynasties, the elegance of the Tang and Song dynasties, to the refinement of the Ming dynasty. Each set of costumes carried profound historical and cultural connotations. Particularly eye - catching were the Tang - dynasty court costumes restored by several contestants. The gold - thread embroidery sparkled under the lights, and the loose robes and wide sleeves fully demonstrated the prosperity of the golden age.
Young Inheritors
Surprisingly, more than 70% of the contestants were born in the 1990s and 2000s. They interpreted the contemporary charm of traditional culture with their youthful energy. The event organizers stated that the Hanzhong division was just the beginning. Next, selections will be held in multiple cities across the country, and the final winners will take the national - level stage. This Hanfu event is not just a competition but also a vivid display of cultural confidence, allowing the world to see the eternal charm of Chinese traditional clothing.
