A woman wearing traditional Han robes (hanfu) from the Han Dynasty (206BC- AD220) performs Han-style dances on a bridge in Taiyuan, Shanxi province on August 11, 2013. More than 30 women wearing hanfu joined in the needlework competition in Taiyuan before Qixi, Chinese Valentine's Day which falls on August 13, 2013. In ancient times, girls on Qixi gather to show their needlework and see who is the most diligent, so the festival is also called Qiqiao Festival in Chinese. Qiqiao means hoping to be more diligent.[Photo/CFP] |
