To better demonstrate and further promote international students' understanding of traditional Chinese costumes - Hanfu, the Chinese Department of the IEC held a cultural practice activity of Hanfu experience for international students in 708 Friendship Villa on March 29, 2023, with the theme of "Great Beauty of Hanfu."
The school's Yunxing Hanfu Club and Chinese and Foreign Cultural Exchange Association members organized the event. The event was divided into four sessions: introduction to Hanfu culture, Hanfu demonstration, fitting, and paper folding.
The students of Yunxing Hanfu Club introduced the knowledge of Hanfu in detail through pictures and physical displays, which made the international students understand Hanfu culture intuitively and deeply, and have a more profound experience and perception of Chinese costumes as well as traditional Chinese culture.
Afterwards, the Chinese students introduced and demonstrated the Chinese costumes of the Ming Dynasty in turn, from the collar lapels to the skirts, from the embroidered patterns to the fabrics and construction of the costumes, and so on. The students were so impressed by the beautiful Chinese costumes that they could not wait to try them.
In the costume fitting session, the international students were very enthusiastic. The students of Yunxing Hanfu Club helped them to "dress up" and take pictures, showing a different kind of exotic Hanfu together.
The teacher prepared a beautiful handmade origami paper for everyone in the last part. They chose their favorite style of clothing, and with the guidance of the teacher and the assistance of the Chinese students, they cut, folded, and pasted it, and a piece of Chinese clothing stood up, preserving this beauty from the bottom of their eyes to their hearts.
