"Hanfu" is the traditional dress of the Han Chinese people. It has a history of more than three millennia, and is said to have been worn by the legendary Yellow Emperor.

“Cuju” means "kick the ball with foot." It was a popular sport played by ancient Chinese during the Qingming Festival. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor was the initiator of "cuju," who invented it to train his soldiers.
