Exhibiting a timeless elegance

China Daily  

Chen Xiyue, a vlogger, dresses in the attire of the Song Dynasty. Young Chinese with a penchant for traditional aesthetics add to the romance of Hangzhou's historic West Lake by parading along its shores in their exquisite hanfu creations, Li Yingxue reports. The man, clad in attire reminiscent of the Tang Dynasty, carries a bamboo pole adorned with a basket teeming with budding lotus flowers. The "Song Dynasty" maiden is actually Chen Xiyue, a 22-year-old vlogger specializing in content featuring hanfu. Inviting her friend, Cai Jiale, who she thought embodies the same essence as the ancient peddler in her imagination, Chen conceived a way of exchanging lotus flowers for answers, and she prepared three questions for passersby, including asking what they would say to graduate students embarking on the next stage of life's journey.
