Why don't people wear hanbok nowadays?

Actually, it is true that in modern society, whether at home or abroad, as long as there is a certain level of development in the region, daily life wearing traditional dress is a minority. Some people say that Japan maintains its traditional culture well. But if you go to Japan, you can see that those who wear kimono to work in daily life are basically invisible. The main reason is inconvenience. The traditional dresses of China, Japan and Korea are all loose-fitting, so it's not easy to wear them in daily life or at work.

But there is one thing that you should wear on traditional festivals or major occasions. For example, in a group photo of the 56 ethnic groups, the Han Chinese either wore a suit or a Tang suit (a Manchu waistcoat) or a cheongsam (a Manchu woman's dress), which was puzzling to watch. This ridiculous mistake should be corrected in the future. During traditional festivals, such as Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese New Year, and so on, one should wear Chinese clothes, just like other minorities in our country.
