Key Word: Cultural Export

Why can Chengdu become the focus of hanfu in China? Perhaps the hidden reason can be traced back to thousands of years ago. Chengdu has been rich in silk since ancient times and the silk has been exported abroad for thousands of years. And the Shu Brocade is one of the most famous Four Chinese Brocades, which also include Song (Suzhou), Yun (Nanjing) and Zhuang (Guangxi) brocades. Shao Yong, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once described the patterns of Shu Brocade in the poem “Thousands of Shu Brocades are in New Patterns”. Obviously, the rich silk, the well-known Shu Brocade, lay the cultural and technological foundation for Chengdu to become the city where hanfu enjoys the most popularity.

“In recent years, Chinese style gains popularity. We thus specially launched the “Hanfu + Hotpot Party” under the activity “Holiday Fun in Chengdu”. We invited prestigious Chinese cooking elite Mr. Peng Ziyu as the cook and integrated traditional hot pot and Chinese culture,” said the organizer of the activity. Chengdu did not mean to just come along for a ride. In fact, under the goal of building a world-renowned cultural city and an international consumption center, cultural communication brings the city more than simple shopping and consumption of tourists. “How to use the ‘hanfu prevalence’ to promote the accelerated incubation of urban cultural and creative IPs, so as to export traditional Chinese culture to the outside world and add more impetus to urban industrial development is where the key lies in.”

Tourists and citizens can experience traditional Chinese culture while eating hot pot. The site was decorated in antique style, which made the experience more unique. Hot pot derivatives featuring Chengdu culture, such as “Panda Spirits”, a cultural and creative product launched by Luzhou Laojiao, a famous Chinese spirits brand, hot pot scented candles of Xiao Long Kan Hotpot, co-branded hot pot toothpaste and cultural and creative hotpot condiment of Shudaxia HotPot were showcased and offered to participants for experience. The new model combining traditional culture with Chengdu’s catering cuisine as the carrier may be a “win-win” for the co-development of industries and culture. In addition, hotpot gift packages worth RMB 1,000, Xiao Long Kan instant hotpot products and Shudaxia cultural and creative products were also given to tourists and citizens at the site.

Key Word: Scenario Creation
