Last Friday 3/17 I was invited to a local Chinese school to give a small talk on hanfu! The aim was to share hanfu culture with more people here and to present an example to the kids of what doors can be opened to you by maintaining language skills. A little background—I myself attended this once-a-week school from kindergarten up until 6th grade, upon which I pulled out of the school to invite the Chinese teacher that taught me in 6th grade to tutor me at home privately. She was a great tutor and a key part of inspiring my interest in ancient Chinese culture through poetry, history, and more, keeping me engaged while analyzing Tang Dynasty shi and Song Dynasty ci. As I got busy, I stopped the tutoring when I was in 10th grade—and I was introduced to the concept of hanfu not even a few months later!

Today, I will introduce you to a photographer. Her name is Dang xiaoshi (当小时). She is a Sichuan girl. She spends most of her time in Beijing. Like many people, Dang xiaoshi has been shooting some "commercial works" in order to live. However, due to a strong preference for "Chinese Style", there are occasional works of ancient style in private. At first, Dang xiaoshi just liked the costume style, but all the changes started with an invitation. A friend of hers got married and invited her to Nepal to take wedding photos. At that time, Dang xiaoshi put forward the idea of shooting with the theme of "Hanfu" to her friends. Originally, she just wanted to take a meaningful wedding photo for my friends, but when the photo came out, it got a lot of praise. Looking at the endless praise of Chinese clothes, she found that the charm of the original culture is so great. So she left beautiful pictures around the world with her Chinese clothes. Let's see what beautiful places she's been to. Hanfu in the United States When Hanfu, music and American enthusiasm are combined, there is a different spark. Hanfu in Nepal Hanfu in Japan…
