It’s been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to reappear in China. Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, having been adopted by China’s Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what the trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.
The new tastes of Generation Z—young people born after 1995—are well represented on Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colourful set of programmes ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of the movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent.
“Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions. With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which brings them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analysing foreign culture. Apart from taking pride in China’s rapid development, this generation also pursue individuality and value devotion to the country,” Professor Zhang Yiwu said.
He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture. Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age—they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand. This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence.
However, Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status. This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.
( )1.What does the underlined word “exotic” in Paragraph 1 mean
A.Classic. B.Foreign.
C.Traditional. D.Fashionable.
( )2.Why is Bilibili mentioned in Paragraph 2
A.To promote Chinese Internet industry.
B.To highlight the popularity of national art.
C.To confirm the rise of new media.
D.To show the popularity of the New Year’s gala.
( )3.What do we know about Generation Z from the text
A.They have a stronger cultural identity.
B.They are longing for cultural diversity.
C.They have made China develop rapidly.
D.They are more fond of foreign culture.
( )4.What is the main idea of the text
A.A confident country leads to a better future.
B.Cultural confidence is of great significance.
C.China’s new generation redefine national culture as trendy.
D.Hanfu clothing style connects ancient fashion and modern trends.
