"Those who seek the longevity of a tree must firm its roots; those who desire the far flow of a river must deepen its source." Excellent traditional Chinese culture is the spiritual lifeline of the Chinese nation and the solid foundation on which we stand firmly amidst the turbulence of world affairs. Promoting excellent traditional Chinese culture and adhering to tradition while innovating are important measures for advancing socialist modernization in the new era and carrying profound historical significance.

Chinese costume culture, a significant component of China's intangible cultural heritage, is an integral part of traditional Chinese culture, and represents one of the manifestations of Chinese civilization. The diverse array of historical costume reflects the deep interaction between the Chinese nation and its complex living environment. 

These costumes are not only scientific but also sociologically significant, and culturally rich. Through them, one can intuitively perceive the wisdom of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, such as the selection of materials and the creation of tools. They also reveal the unique expressions of Chinese costume culture since ancient times, embodying both romance and restraint behind praise and respect.

The creators of China's intangible cultural heritage are the people, with time acting as its most rigorous screening mechanism. Contemporary fashion designers take it upon themselves to meet the ever-growing spiritual and cultural needs of the people. They are innovatively integrating the creative achievements of the people throughout history, ultimately giving back to the people and benefiting the present. These efforts to creatively transform and innovatively develop the excellent traditional costume culture of China play a positive and far-reaching role in continuously strengthening the cohesion of the Chinese nation and of excellent traditional Chinese culture, narrate the stories of splendid traditional Chinese costume culture, and promote Chinese culture to the world.
