A costume restoration show combining peony flowers with traditional Chinese

Hanfu culture kicked off on Wednesday at the peony-themed museum in Luoyang, a

city with a 1,500-year history of cultivating peonies in central China's Henan

Province.

As a part of 39th Peony Culture Festival of Luoyang which runs from April 1 to

May 10 to showcase the city's peony culture for visitors, the show is China's

first large-scale costume restoration show with peony as the theme.

During the show, 30 sets of Hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic

group, featuring three historical periods namely Wei Jin, Tang, and Song

dynasties were displayed, presenting a visual feast full of historical

sediments for visitors.

Different from conventional fashion show, this costume restoration show

connected the ancient Luoyang with the present one by linking modern and

ancient times through scenes, and involved activities such as peony flowers

arrangement and peony tea ceremony.

According to the Chinese traditional costume restoration team, the producer of

the displayed Hanfu in the show, in order to find out the beauty of costumes in

the past dynasties, they have traveled to Luoyang many times, carefully

selecting classics from different periods from dozens of cultural relics in the

Luoyang Museum and rigorously making research on them.

"We should continue to strengthen archaeological work and historical research,

inject vitality into cultural relics and cultural heritages, to enrich the

history and culture of the society," said the team.

As a city with rich cultural relics resources, Luoyang has been committed to

making cultural relics "alive" by holding various activities, making the

protection, utilization, promotion and inheritance of cultural relics closer to

people's daily life.
