HanWen Shop at the 2025 Thousand and One Lantern Festival
On the weekend of September 27 and 28, 2025 , HanWen Shop had the pleasure of participating in the third edition of the Thousand and One Lanterns Festival , a colorful cultural event celebrating the richness of Asian traditions.
A parade of traditional Chinese costumes
On stage, several participants presented historically inspired clothing from different Chinese dynasties: Hanfu, Tang, Song, Ming... The spectators were able to admire the finesse of the brocades, the grace of the fabrics and the diversity of styles reflecting more than two millennia of clothing history in China.
HanWen Shop contributed to this event by presenting several handcrafted creations inspired by Hanfu , mixing tradition and contemporary elegance.
🎶 A musical moment filled with serenity
The audience was also transported by a guzheng (古筝) concert , an emblematic instrument of Chinese music.
This suspended moment allowed everyone to appreciate the depth and sweetness of the age-old sounds of this plucked string instrument, a symbol of harmony and refinement.
🌺 Hanfu Lecture and Demonstration
During the presentation, Xiaoqian Columeau , founder of HanWen Shop, shared her passion for Hanfu—traditional Chinese clothing rich in meaning and history.
She explained the different cuts, the symbolism of the patterns and the stylistic evolutions through the dynasties, while presenting several iconic outfits worn on stage.
