With the Greek word “naut”, which means sailor, and “taiko”, the Chinese word for space, the word “taikonaut” is specifically used for Chinese astronauts.

Started in 1992, the manned spacecraft engineering (载人航天工程) of China was far behind the USA and Russia in the beginning 6 years later, a Chinese Malaysian, who used it first in newsgroups. However, back then few people picked up on it, as China was still rather weak at that time.
It was not until 2003, when China sent Yang Liwei, the first taikonaut into space taking the Shenzhou Ⅴ that the word became widely known. In his speech at Peking University on Friday, Yang told stories about that and shared how much is required of the taikonauts to prepare them for their missions.
Since 1998, China has 34 trained taikonauts, each of whom has passed tests that are usually unimaginably difficult. According to reports, engineers and scientists, and must pass a lot of test before becoming a real taikonaut.
Behind these taikonauts are hundreds of thousands of other workers that do their jobs to get the taikonauts into space and make certain of their safe return. It is the great efforts of everyone in this project that has made “taikonauts” from just a word on the paper into the reality, and all of them should share the honor of the taikonauts’ tasks. The meanings of the word will he further developed and we hope more taikonauts will appear.

With jeweled pins in her hair, a sweeping red silk dress hung over her gauze(薄纱) sleeves, Beijinger Xin Nan looks like she’s just stepped out of a dynasty hundreds of years in the past.
Xin Nan is wearing Hanfu, or Han clothing, which has traditionally been the dress for a few lovers on important Chinese holidays such as the Mid-autumn Festival and Lunar New Year. But these days, the Hanfu movement has grown to become a subculture seeking to bring back to life pre-Qing Dynasty clothing. The past few years have even seen Hanfu gain a degree of global recognition, finding its way onto the New York and Paris Fashion Week runways.
Hanfu’s entry into modern life has been inspired by the popularity of historical dramas. It’s said that China now has over three and a half million Hanfu lovers as it is considered one of the most important embodiments(体现) of Chinese traditional culture.
Today, it’s not uncommon to see a group of girls in these elegant flowing robes taking selfies. Dressed in her Tang-Dynasty-inspired ourfit, Xin Nan explained, “Over the past few years, more and more people have been walking in the street, dressed in Hanfu, as if it were their everyday clothing.”
Hanfu’s growing popularity is reflected in the expansion of the associated business. The number of Hanfu merchants on the e-commerce platform Taobao grew three times between 2015 and 2019. According to a report by iiMedia, in 2019, Hanfu sales in China were worth 4.52 billion yuan ($695 million).
To Xin Nan, Hanfu is more than just a style of dress; rather, it’s a way of life. “I think Hanfu has a special charm. When I’m wearing it, I feel I’ve returned to that dynasty.” she said. She explained that it inspires her with a sense of elegance and grace. “The moment I put on Hanfu, that’s how I’ll behave.”
