"In the second half of 2016, I shot a video about women in different dynasties and their ways of dressing up. I looked at many books and sometimes referred to pottery figurines to get useful information." This hit video introduced four dynasties - Han, Tang, Song and Ming - as well as the women back then, their lifestyles and their pursuits of beauty.

Miqiujun has also started an outreach activity called "Travel with Hanfu" - a world tour to educate and showcase the garment in 15 countries and counting. "Our first stop was Nepal and we just came back from Japan," she says. "Many people mistake the hanfu for a kimono or a hanbok. We explain the history; they also think it's beautiful and want to give it a try. The cheongsam enjoys more popularity and wider recognition. But it would be great if people could also think of hanfu."
