The Shandong Museum celebrated China Huafu Day (Chinese National Costume Day) on April 14 with a festival to show off the beauty of traditional Chinese clothes in Jinan, capital of Shandong province.

In 2018, the Communist Youth League's Central Committee designated the third day of the third lunar month as China Huafu Day, as traditional hanfu clothing is gaining popularity among people interested in history and traditional culture.
