China has embraced Western fashion and futuristic designs in recent decades, but a growing number of young people are now looking to the past for fashion advice.
近幾十年來，中國逐漸接納了西方時尚和充滿未來感的設計，但如今越來越多的年輕人也追起了復古潮流。
If you look closely around your city, you might spot hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic group. In a recently published report by online shopping platform Tmall, more than 2 million hanfu outfits were sold in 2018. The number of hanfu buyers increased by 92 percent compared to 2017. The average age of buyers was 21, with about 52 percent between 19 and 24 years old.
如果你仔細觀察自己所在的城市，或許會在大街上看到漢族傳統服飾 —— 漢服。網絡購物平台天貓近期發布的一項報告顯示，2018年售出的漢服超過200萬件。購買漢服的人數和2017年相比增長了92%。購買者的平均年齡為21歲，其中19-24歲的年輕人約占52%。
But why has this traditional clothing become trendy among young Chinese people?
但這種傳統服飾為何成為年輕人的時尚潮流？
For some of them, it’s a costume for relaxation. Dafan, a 24-year-old college student, told CGTN that dressing in hanfu is a way for her to escape the troubles of real life. Modern clothing, on the other hand, represents the identity people need to show every day.
對於一些年輕人而言，穿漢服能夠放鬆身心。24歲的大學生大帆（音譯）在接受中國國際電視台採訪時表示，穿漢服於她而言是種逃離現實生活煩惱的方式。換言之，現代服飾代表了人們每天都需要展示的身份。
「Hanfu and modern clothing help me to release the different sides in me,」 she explained.
「漢服和現代服飾令我釋放了自我的不同面，」她解釋道。
Other youngsters like hanfu because of the culture behind it. They regard it as a way to reconnect with traditions. Its wide sleeves, crossed collars and flowing robes bring people back to ancient times.
還有一些年輕人喜歡漢服的原因在於其背後的文化。他們將漢服視為一種與傳統重新建立聯繫的方式。漢服寬大的袖子，交疊的領口，飄逸的長袍讓人們有「穿越」回古代之感。
「What’s behind hanfu is inheritance of the Chinese civilization,」 Nanhe, a 21-year-old costume studio owner, told CGTN.
「漢服的背後是中華文化的傳承，」21歲的服裝店店主南河（音譯）在接受中國國際電視台採訪時表示。
That’s probably why some fans have started to bring the traditional clothing abroad. Sohu reported on a Bilibili vlogger who climbed Germany’s highest peak wearing hanfu this summer. She received praise from tourists.
這或許也是一些漢服迷帶著這種傳統服飾走出國門的原因。據搜狐新聞報道，一位B站博主今年夏天穿著漢服登上了德國的最高峰。遊客們紛紛為她點贊。
「Many Chinese people are taking a liking for hanfu, as it helps them establish their national identity and belonging,」 Zhang Yiwu, a professor of Chinese literature at Peking University, told China Daily.
「許多中國人都愛上了漢服，這有助於人們建立對於民族身份的認同感和歸屬感，」北京大學中國文學教授張頤武在接受《中國日報》採訪時如此表示。
