"I'm glad you're okay" but said by someone who has just had the shit beaten out of them, to someone who is not hurt at all, is a brilliant trope and I lose my mind every time.

I tried to guess what the actual fuck “stand” is but every one of these photos both deepened my confusion and further deterred me from looking it up. Y'all just be you I guess

That's great that the hanfu revival movement is growing! What direction do you think it will take?
Hi, thanks for the question!
To get a better sense of what direction the hanfu movement is going to take, I highly recommend reading the following two recent 2019 news articles on the current state of the hanfu movement/industry: 1) Culture Lovers Dress to Impress & 2) Entrepreneurs Thrive on Revival of Traditional Han Chinese Garb. Here are some of the statistics they provide:
- The hanfu sector’s revenue reached some 1.08 billion yuan in 2018, with about 75% coming from online sales. The sales of the top hanfu stores in a single month go well beyond 10 million yuan. Sales are expected to rise significantly in 2019.
- The top 10 hanfu stores on major Chinese e-commerce platform Taobao made 98 million yuan in transactions in April 2019, up 385% from the previous year. On Taobao, hanfu has been the third most searched keyword among female shoppers in 2019 so far. It’s also among the top 10 searches for male shoppers.
- On major Chinese e-commerce platform Tmall, hanfu purchases rose in 2018 by 92% year-on-year. There were more than 815 hanfu stores on Tmall in 2018, up by just over 24% on 2017.
- Some 18% of the hanfu sector’s revenue comes from related products and businesses, including traditional Chinese makeup, hairstyles and accessories.
- The average age of hanfu devotees is 21, and some 88% of them are female.
Of course the hanfu movement isn’t simply about consumerism, but these numbers do provide a quantifiable way to measure growth. As you can see, growth is very impressive & still has a long way to go, considering: 1) the demographics, 2) the high & fast-increasing market demand, and 3) the fact that the sector is far from mature, due to its relative youth & the complexity involved in making hanfu. In addition, there’s been more government support for hanfu ever since 2018, when the first official China Huafu Day was established.
The main driving force behind this impressive growth is the increasing interest, especially among young people, in traditional Chinese culture. More people increasingly favor items that are unique, artistic, and linked to a rich historical legacy.
My prediction for the next few years is that hanfu will become increasingly mainstream, as more people wear hanfu for various occasions such as: celebrations, holidays, weddings, graduations, travel, and for everyday wear. There will be growth in physical stores for buying & renting hanfu, as well as studios for taking hanfu photoshoots. We may even get to see celebrities wearing hanfu/hanfu-inspired outfits on the red carpet, as hanfu gains more influence in the fashion world.
I’m really looking forward to what the future brings for the hanfu movement. Hope this helps! ^^
