The past decade witnessed an increasing appreciation of traditional Chinese culture among young people. Hence a new fashion trend came to life — Guochao, or "China-chic." Guochao is a fashion trend featuring modern designs mixed with Chinese traditional style and culture. Over the past few years, China has seen a surge in young consumers' interest in domestic brands and products that incorporate Chinese traditional style and culture. Chinese young people, particularly those between the ages of 20 to 25, grew up in a different environment than previous generations. They have seen the rise of China and become increasingly confident. Domestic brands have quickly jumped at this opportunity and captured the attention of young people. Guochao is not just about the rise of domestic brands, but also the resurgence of traditional style and cultural elements. For example, Forbidden City has become extremely popular among Chinese youth with its numerous product design collaborations with both domestic and international brands and influencers. Guochao attracts not only Chinese youth, it also attracts many Gen Zers worldwide. Urbonya is an American lady full of surprises: she is fluent in Mandarin, obsessed with Hanfu — a traditional Chinese style of clothing — and immersed in her world of ancient Chinese TV dramas. After 11 years of living in Beijing, she started a company, aiming to promote traditional Chinese culture through social media videos. Her inspiration for this career choice also stemmed from the rise of Guochao in China. The rise of Guochao not only enriches people's cultural life but also inspires a love for traditional culture and a sense of heritage. It enables the treasures of Chinese culture to shine even more brilliantly in the new era. What is Guochao? A. A traditional Chinese festivalB. A popular Chinese TV dramaC.
