It is not common to find traditional dresses (usually used for religious and formal occasions) being fashion trends for many years among young men and women. However, the Chinese Hanfu dress is an exception to this rule. Though it symbolizes the rich culture of China for over 5000 years, it still manages to rule the roost in the world of Asian fashion.

However, not many know what it exactly represents. These dresses reflect the aspirations and thoughts of ancient Chinese scholars towards fields like music, literature, rituals and other religious ideas.
