Whats with the Hanfu movement, Hanfu is dead.
Hint: no one wears traditional clothing anymore. Japanese doesn't, Korean doesn't, and same with China. Except for ceremonial situation, you shouldn't wear Hanfu.
Culture change all the time. What was Chinese culture 1000 years ago is not the same now, as is Japanese culture 1000 years ago is not the same now. Humans are adaptive animals. Superior design replaces inferior design. Western clothing is more convenient than Chinese clothing, hence the replacement. Western architecture and city design is better at accommodating large population, hence Chinese/Japanese copied that as well.
There is continuity in culture, but culture always changes. It has been like this for as long as humans existed.
Lets face it, if Manchu didn't remove the Hanfu, the Chinese will do it themselves. They will see the advances in the west, come to adapt western thoughts/science, watch hollywood shows, and then eventually adapt western fashion.
Change is law of life. The situation that the west is more advanced than us just existed in the times from industrial revolution to now.
Before the industrial revolution, over half of the inventions, creations of the world were created by Chinese.
Anythings that spend how long time to form also need the same long time to disappear.
In modern times the change is far far faster than the past time.
We copy you now, but sooner or later we wont copy. Every things are changing fast. You can never predict the long long future.
I don't think the your 'fast food culture' can bee seen culture.
Let me see what belong to your signs of your western culture can remain after some long time.
forks to meal?
Two civilizations have preserved the HuaXia from Northern Barbarians and they are the Japanese and Koreans. In fact both Japan and Korea , historically and socio-culturally, are the inheritors of the Imperial Legacy of the Great Tang Dynasty:
Korea
Dai Nippon Teikoku (Japan)
Old stuffs, tools, and customs, etc was just the methods, technologies, designs, styles, etc people used in past time of history, which destined to be eliminated by new methods, new technology, new designs, new styles, etc.
The special stuffs and customs in special history times and special places only belonged to the special times and the special places, which only can represented those special times and special places and should exist in museums, people's memory or where they should be as the signs of those times and those places . For the most stuffs and customs we use today will probably not be used tomorrow. Even the stuffs you imported from us need to be changed to adapt your environment.
What you showed were just the external performance/forms of the culture.
The core of the culture forever are the thought, wisdom, theory or philosophy, etc, which reflects the world view that means how to view the different anythings in past, present or future or here, there or anywhere, etc and the methodology that reflects how to treat or handle the ever-changing anythings. In the process of forming these thought, wisdom or philosophy, etc, countless things appeared and disappeared and countless people succeeded and failed or lived and died, etc.
The formations of any things need enough samples, practices, time, occasions, etc through countless successes and failures to test and verify the rationality of its existence. The formations of the thought, wisdom, theory or philosophy, etc need far far more these things.
Our huge size, long long history and countless experiences have given us countless these samples, practices, time, occasions, etc to test and verify the rationality of the past and current existence the core of our culture, and constantly improve and innovate for the rationality of its existence of the future.
Your size, time and experiences is far far never enough to reach our depth.
The old saying, "胡虏无百年运", meaning the barbarian nation always abusing its power can never keep its dominance over one hundred years, has been verified by the experiences of the countless nations experiencing its rise and then its decline in all history. Your nation rightly is here.
Taking a example of Sun Tzu's art of war, long time before the birth time of Sun Zi, there has been countless little or large and simple or complex wars happening in our territory, then an very very intelligent person, Sun Wu, on the base of the countless experiences of wars and the rules concluded by the countless predecessors, concluded his own theories called '孙子兵法', which still is not outdated today.
Dogmatism and following a stereotype never belonged to our culture, seemly what you showed just means you have that tradition. We are most practical people in the world and can change anytime for any practical reasons. As I said before, Japanese and Korean just got some skins and furs.
For example,always facing the reality belongs to our culture, and did you learn?
Fabricating history doesn't belong to our culture, it is your culture.
