Young Chinese In Malaysia Push To Wear Hanfu Culture

According to Hongkong Asia Weekly March 11th, young Chinese in Malaysia are promoting Hanfu sports to enable Chinese to understand the original appearance of Chinese culture.

They combined the Hanfu with the movie Confucius, put forward the slogan of "wearing Hanfu to see Confucius", and further promoted the traditional Chinese Rites such as adult ceremony, sacrificial rites, shooting ceremony and new year's rite.

On the evening of March 3rd, the Chinese film "Confucius" landed in Malaysia.

Before the premiere, more than fifty young people in Hanfu gathered in the cinema, lined up in front of the portrait of Confucius, and held ceremonious Chinese rituals. The Chinese worshiped the most solemn ceremony of their ancestors - three presents and worshiped Confucius.

Many of the crowd gathered to pay tribute to Confucius.

The young people who strongly promoted the Hanfu movement put forward the slogan "wearing Han clothes to see Confucius" and got the response of many people, so that the Hanfu movement in Malaysia moved from behind the scenes to the front of the screen to correct the long-standing misunderstanding of Chinese clothing and Chinese etiquette in Malaysia Chinese society.

It is also said that this is the only country that has organized Confucius to link Han Fu sports to Confucius since it was released in the world. This gave Malaysia Chinese an opportunity to understand the original appearance of the Chinese culture and promote the return of the Chinese in the country.

When the sacrificial official dressed in a Han dress, read in the sacrificial text, "where do I come from in Malaysia?

The homeland of Shenzhou.

I Malaysia Chinese, come to the land, where to carry?

Ancestral tablets.

What are the users?

Chinese culture... "

The onlookers are all moved.

Jiang Zhifa, the initiator of "wearing Han clothes to see Confucius", said that they put forward this idea mainly to "remember the efforts of the sage, and encourage the Chinese in Malaysia to give greater courage to the Chinese civilization to radiate even more brilliant glory".

The Hanfu enthusiast, led by Jiang Zhifa, began to promote Hanfu sports in Malaysia in the past 07 years, and its core members were mainly from the great castle youth movement led by him.

These young people, who are under the age of thirty, are quick to act on the love of Chinese culture and gradually get support from young people in other regions.

In the 08 year, they hosted the first "China culture life camp" and invited Chinese lecturers to come to teach, so that they could master Chinese culture deeply.

The first session was attended by more than twenty people, but the number of participants increased to one hundred in second in 08 years.

Jiang Zhifa, who is engaged in the computer software industry, denies that he is a formalist.

He said that all nations in the world, such as the Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Malays, Indians, even Chinese Tibetans and Uygurs, all have their own national costumes, and the Han nationality is alone without any national costume today. This is unthinkable.

He said that many people regard the popular cheongsam and long gowns as Chinese clothes, which is wrong, because it is the clothes of the people. The real traditional costume of the Chinese people is stereotyped by the Yellow Emperor's "hanging clothes and the rule of the world".

It is interesting to note that most of the participants in Hanfu exercise are young people, while those who have traditionally attached importance to traditional culture are missing.

Xu Xinxin, a participant in Hanfu sports, believes that it is because young people are more willing to try new things and do not fear social differences.

She said that although her parents did not participate in the Hanfu exercise, they encouraged her to participate.

Yan Jiajian, lecturer of the Chinese Department of University of Malaya, believes that the Hanfu exercise is very meaningful. This is also a Chinese root seeking movement. However, Malaysia's national conditions make the sport face many obstacles.

He pointed out that modern men seldom have long hair, so when wearing Hanfu, they will feel very uncoordinated and incomplete unless they wear a crown.

He said that although the Hanfu was marginalized after the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty still belonged to the continuation of Chinese history, and people could not remove the Qing Dynasty from history.

Li Yongqiu, a folklore researcher and a lecturer of the Chinese cultural life camp, also supports the Hanfu exercise. However, he believes that it is not easy for most people to wear Hanfu, because suits are also suitable for the current environment. If the focus of the movement is on traditional festivals and sacrificial rites, it is feasible.

Jiang Zhifa hoped that after people gradually accepted the Hanfu exercise and Hanfu wedding, they could promote the traditional Chinese rites to the society, such as adult rites, sacrificial rites, shooting gifts, new year's rites (Chinese new year, Tomb Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid Autumn Festival).

Just like Wang Dasan, a Chinese traditional culture scholar and a webmaster of Chinese Confucianism, said, "return to tradition, wear traditional costume of the nation, show the calm confidence of the Chinese, rebuild the Chinese etiquette system, recover the long lost Chinese cultural spirit, and promote the cultural identity and national identity of the Chinese.
