Experts came to Han to send Han-style costumes: Han school clothing could not be found in the country
In the ever-evolving landscape of China's apparel industry, Han-style clothing holds a unique and somewhat fragile position. At a recent Han-style clothing workshop, Li Xiaoping, a senior consultant from the China National Spinners Association, made a striking comment: “You can’t find a place, you can only survive.†His words reflected the harsh reality faced by many in this niche sector.
Li Xiaoping once served as CEO for well-known local brands such as Maoren and Redskins, as well as international names like Antarctica. In 2005, he was honored as “China’s Most Influential Professional Manager in the Garment Industry.†Recently, he was invited to Wuhan to attend the “Rejuvenating Han School Clothing Symposium,†where his insights were highly anticipated.
He pointed out that the grandeur of Han-style attire belongs to history, and it is no longer widely seen across the country. “To talk about revitalization, we can only talk about survival,†he said. According to available data, the total operating income of domestic Han-style clothing companies exceeds 5 billion yuan. However, the distribution is uneven—there are seven garment companies in Zhejiang, four in Fujian, and one in Shenzhen. Meanwhile, over 90% of enterprises in Hubei operate at a much smaller scale, with revenues below ten million yuan.
Li Xiaoping attributed the decline of Wuhan’s garment industry to a mindset of “small wealth being safe.†He noted that many entrepreneurs in eastern cities lack the ambition to grow big. This view was echoed by Zhao Herong, chairman of Wuhan He Rong Garments Co., Ltd. and president of the Wuhan Garment Merchants Association. He pointed out that Wuhan’s garment companies are largely family-run and small-scale, which limits their potential for growth.
Li also mentioned that most of the Han school clothing entrepreneurs who started in Hanzheng Street during the 1970s and 1980s have either changed direction or handed over the business to younger generations. This shift has led to a loss of traditional expertise and continuity.
According to the Wuhan Garment Merchants Association, several Han-style clothing companies are quietly transitioning from wholesale to retail and brand development. During yesterday’s seminar, officials from the Wuhan City Commission of Economic and Trade announced that this year, they will align with the government’s “12th Five-Year Plan†to implement specific measures aimed at improving the situation of Han-style clothing.
With the right strategies and support, there is hope for the revival of this traditional yet underappreciated sector. The challenge lies not only in preserving cultural heritage but also in adapting to modern market demands. As the industry evolves, the path forward will require innovation, collaboration, and a renewed sense of purpose.
