The Jing'an Culture Center held a traditional cultural fair to celebrate Cultural and Natural Heritage Day on June 10.
At the fair, visitors had the chance to put on hanfu (Han clothing) and women could experience ancient make-up, like flower-patterned ornaments pasted on foreheads, and a hair ornament adorning traditional hairstyles.
Then, it was time to experience what it was like to live in ancient China through a wide range of immersive activities such as making a xiangnang, a fragrant sachet filled with herbs and worn by ancients as accessories.
They also tried to embroider a tuanshan, a round-shaped fan used by ancient Chinese women, and enjoyed burning incense, considered one of the four elegant lifestyles favored by men of letters in ancient China. (Source: Shanghai Daily)
