Clothes make the man and preserve tradition as well. When we use clothing to connect to the past, it is important not to let it divide us in the present.
A recent graduation ceremony made news not because of who made the speeches or what was said, but because of what everyone present wore.
The event at Jiangsu Normal University drew the nation's attention when photos surfaced online of the graduates, their teachers and even invited guests, including officials from the Ministry of Education, donning the traditional garb known as the Hanfu.
