On March 20, the second floor of the Wuhan University of Design and Engineering Library was transformed. Students in flowing hanfu, each representing a floral deity, walked among the bookshelves. This wasn’t a costume party. It was the opening of the seventh Reading Festival, and it began with a procession. The event folded classroom learning […]
On April 11, 2026, a Saturday afternoon from 2:00 to 4:00, the Haidian (海淀) North Cultural Center library in Beijing will host an event called Jade Meets Silken Robes (玉见・霓裳). This is not a lecture. It is a workshop where you touch, wear, and make. Three threads run through the afternoon: Yu (玉), or jade; […]
A silk sleeve catches the light. A collar folds just so. On April 11, at Yiyuan (易园), you will learn to see these details through a camera lens.

On April 5, Tianjin (天津) Cultural Center turned into a runway. A Hanfu parade kicked off, but the usual crowd looked different.

April 8. Wuyi (武夷) Palace. Tea makers in flowing Hanfu bow before Wuyi Jun (武夷君), the god of tea. Each robe mirrors a tea variety—one pours like a rocky oolong, another sways like a tender bud.

She dreams of him. Dies for him. Lives again. That is Du Liniang’s (杜丽娘) fate in “The Peony Pavilion”. On April 14, Shanghai Kunqu (昆曲) Troupe brings this 400-year-old masterpiece to Huizhou (惠州). No abstract romance. A girl’s desire so real it survives the grave. Two actresses share the lead. Luo Chenxue (罗晨雪) and Hu […]
In Luo Yang (洛阳), peonies burst into full bloom. The city’s women’s federation and urban management bureau planned a quiet surprise. They invited local street cleaners to put down their brooms and pick up silk robes. A vocational school sent stylists to help. The cleaners tried on hanfu, the traditional flowing garments. They wore hairpins […]
Bamboo poles stabbed into soft grass. Red silk skirts looped over them, forming a fluttering canopy. Underneath, women laughed, poured wine, and judged each other’s flowers. This was the Tang dynasty’s answer to a spring picnic: the skirt tent banquet. No nylon, no polyester. Just wide, flowing garments tied together as mobile shelters. The idea […]
Gentle April wind carried the rustle of pages and silk robes. At Donghai (东海) College, the media school turned a reading month event into six small open-air booths.
