Tourists taking the metro in Suzhou, China, this week could be forgiven for feeling like they’ve traveled back in time a few centuries.
本周，在苏州乘坐地铁的游客们可能会感受到一种穿越时空的奇妙体验，仿佛回到了几个世纪前的历史长河之中。
Famous for silk production and traditional gardens, this city of just over 10 million people, a 1.5-hour drive from Shanghai, is offering a week of free metro rides during the Lunar New Year period to passengers who dress in Hanfu – a style of clothing traditionally worn by ethnic-majority Han Chinese prior to the Qing dynasty (1644-1912).
苏州，这座以丝绸生产和传统园林闻名遐迩的城市，人口超过千万，距离繁华的上海仅有一小时半的车程。为了迎接农历新年的到来，苏州轨道交通公司特别推出了一项优惠政策：凡身着汉服的乘客，均可享受为期一周的免费地铁服务。汉服，是清朝（1644-1912）以前以汉族为主的中国人所穿着的传统服装，充满了历史的韵味。
The Suzhou Rail Transit’s offer isn’t random. Dressing up in traditional outfits to visit local attractions has become a popular way to express one’s holiday spirit in China in recent years, especially among youth, many of whom have been sharing images of their outings on social media this week.
这一举措并非空穴来风，而是基于近年来的一种社会现象。越来越多的中国人，特别是年轻人，选择在节日期间穿着传统服装游览当地景点，以此来表达节日的喜庆气氛。这种风尚在社交媒体上更是掀起了一股热潮，许多人纷纷晒出自己身着汉服的出游照片。
So what exactly qualifies as Hanfu? There are many different styles of clothing inspired by multiple Chinese dynasties that could fall under this umbrella term, but most generally include a long, flowing cross-collar robe.
那么，究竟什么是汉服呢？它其实是一个广义的概念，涵盖了多个朝代、不同风格的服装。但无论是哪个朝代，汉服通常都以飘逸的交领长袍为主要特征。
In 2019, CNN Style reported on the comeback of traditional Chinese fashion, noting that the Hanfu industry’s total market value at that time was estimated to be worth 1.09 billion yuan, according to state media.
早在2019年，CNN Style就曾报道过中国传统服装的复兴现象。据国家媒体报道，当时汉服产业的市场总价值已达到了约10.9亿元人民币。
Popularity reportedly tumbled during the pandemic, but a local media report says that interest in Hanfu has increased significantly in recent months. In January, in the run-up to the 2024 Spring Festival/Lunar New Year period, searches for modern Hanfu and silky Song brocade clothing on popular shopping website Taobao reportedly surged 683% and 2,058% respectively.
虽然在疫情期间，汉服的受欢迎程度有所下降，但近几个月来，人们对汉服的兴趣又明显回升。据报道，2024年春节前夕，热门购物网站淘宝网上现代汉服和丝质宋锦服装的搜索量分别激增了683%和2058%。
Multiple tourist sites in China now offer Hanfu rentals as well, some with makeup and hair styling services, similar to tourist attractions and historical sites in Seoul that rent out the traditional South Korean hanbok for visitors.
为了迎合这一潮流，中国多个旅游景点也纷纷推出了汉服租赁服务，甚至还包括化妆和发型设计等增值服务。这种服务方式与韩国的旅游景点和历史遗迹为游客提供传统韩服租赁的做法颇为相似，都旨在让游客在游览的过程中，更加深入地体验当地的历史文化。
Tourist attractions come alive
旅游景点充满生机与活力
For both domestic and international tourists, wearing these outfits while visiting historical or themed attractions can provide an added element of fun.
无论是国内还是国外的游客，在游览历史或主题景点时，若身着传统服饰，必能增添不少乐趣。
During the 15-day Spring Festival/Lunar New Year holiday, the busiest travel period of the year in China, many of these sites host colorful lantern displays, providing eye-catching backdrops for photos.
春节假期，这长达15天的盛事，无疑是中国旅游最为繁忙的时段。届时，众多景点都会举办缤纷多彩的灯笼展，为游客提供一道道迷人的拍照背景。
For instance, Yu Garden in Shanghai, which hosts a 40-day Spring Festival lantern fair, has become a popular destination for Hanfu fans. The nearby commercial shopping district of Wujiaochang even hosted a Lunar New Year Hanfu parade to attract revelers to the area this year.
以上海豫园为例，其为期40天的春节灯会已成为汉服爱好者的热门打卡地。而附近的五角场商业购物区，今年更是别出心裁地举办了农历新年汉服巡游，吸引了大批游客前来参与。
In the capital city of China’s southern Hainan province, Haikou, lies Qilou Old Street, which features a fusion of Asian and European architecture from the 1920s. It too has seen an increase in young tourists wearing traditional attire during visits, according to one local.
在中国南部海南省的省会海口，有一条名为齐鲁老街的古老街道，这里巧妙地融合了20世纪20年代的亚洲和欧洲建筑风格。据当地人透露，如今来此游览的年轻游客络绎不绝，他们都身着传统服饰，为这条老街注入了新的活力。
“There are a lot more people – from visitors to tour guides to influencers – wearing Hanfu here at Haikou’s Qilou in these few years,” says Cai Pa, an area historian.
“近年来，在海口七楼，从游客、导游到社会名流，穿着汉服的人越来越多。”该地区的历史学家蔡专家如是说道。
“[The rise of Hanfu] is an important symbol of the Chinese cultural renaissance. The younger generations are often the ones that are more open to new trends – and hence, the ones who are the first to embrace the rejuvenation of tradition.”
她还表示，“汉服的兴起，无疑是中国文化复兴的重要标志。年轻一代对于新潮流的接受度较高，因此他们也是最先拥抱传统复兴的一群人。”
Cai tells CNN Travel it’s also getting more common to see people in other ethnic attires too, given the island province is home to several ethnic minority groups, the largest of which is the Li community.
蔡专家还透露，如今穿着其他民族服饰的游客也屡见不鲜，因为这个岛屿省份是多个少数民族的聚居地，其中最大的族群便是黎族。
Embracing tradition
拥抱传统，展现时尚
Song Weixia, a 30-year-old brand designer from the mountainous province of Anhui who incorporates fashion elements inspired by Hanfu into her everyday outfits.
来自安徽省山区的30岁品牌设计师宋伟霞，巧妙地将汉服的时尚元素融入日常着装中。
“Of course there are people who join the trend only during the Lunar New Year – but for most people, it isn’t just because of the festival,” she tells CNN Travel.
她告诉CNN旅游频道：“当然，有人只在农历新年期间尝试这种潮流，但对大多数人来说，它的魅力远不止于此。
“It is the rise in desire to understand and appreciate Chinese culture among young people in recent years. In fact, it’s an expression of a nation feeling confident with its culture.”
“近年来，年轻人对了解和欣赏中国文化的渴望日益高涨。这实际上是一个民族对自身文化充满自信的表现。”
Cai, meanwhile, feels that those in China’s cultural and tourism industries have a responsibility to keep authenticity in check.
与此同时，蔡专家也强调，中国文化和旅游行业的从业者有责任保持文化的真实性。
“There is a group of people who wear it as a trend or as a fashion item,” she says. “But it’s as important to have people who preserve the tradition the accurate way so the foundation of the tradition doesn’t get lost.”
“确实有一部分人将汉服视为一种潮流或时尚来穿着，”她说道，“但同样重要的是，我们需要有人以准确的方式去保护和传承传统，以确保其根基不会丢失。”
The question of authenticity within Hanfu has been debated for years, with some scholars and enthusiasts pointing out that Han Chinese people wore different clothing through the dynasties, with dozens of styles depending on the time period, geographic region and socioeconomic class.
关于汉服的真伪问题，多年来一直存在争议。一些学者和爱好者指出，汉族人在不同的历史时期和地理区域，以及不同的社会经济阶层中，都穿着各式各样的服饰，风格多达几十种。
Others say the term “Hanfu” is too narrow, given the fluid sharing of influences among diverse ethnic groups in China.
然而，也有人认为“汉服”一词过于狭隘，因为中国不同民族之间的文化影响是相互流动和共享的。
