"We need to combine the characteristics of ancient clothing with modern people's aesthetics and dress habits to integrate hanfu into their daily lives," she said. Li, the Party secretary, said more young people are returning to Daiji to seek opportunities in the hanfu industry, helping to build such brands with their entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to original design. "We conducted research on hanfu among college students, finding that eight out of every 10 students like hanfu, which represents big market potential," Zheng said.
