Wearing caps and gowns adorned with traditional Chinese-style decorations is all the rage for Chinese and foreign graduates this year.

Designs that students have worn for commencement ceremony included floral hairpins, and yunjian — a traditional decoration that sits over the shoulders.

Some other Chinese students bought academic caps and flowers online, and made academic hats decorated with flowers by themselves.

According to Taobao, an e-commerce platform in China, sales of yunjian have surged by 350 percent, while sales of zanhua caps have increased by 336 percent by early April. Not only have sales risen, but many Gen Zers have also decided to DlY these caps and gift them to their graduating friends.

For international students, embracing Neo-Chinese style clothing and cultivating an interest in traditional culture go beyond individual preferences, serving as a gateway to cultural outreach on a global scale.
