The Great Han is an ethnographic study of the Han Clothing movement
(Hanfu yundong), a neo-traditionalist and majority racial
nationalist movement that has emerged in China since 2001.
Participants come together both online and in person in cities
across China to revitalize their utopian vision of the authentic
"Great Han" and corresponding "real China" through
pseudo-traditional ethnic dress, reinvented Confucian ritual, and
anti-foreign sentiment. Employing close analysis of movement ideas
and practices, this book finds that the movement's "real China,"
envisioning a pure, perfectly ordered, ethnically homogeneous, and
secure society, is in fact an imaginary vision constructed in
response to the challenging realities of the present. Yet this
national imaginary is reproduced precisely through its own
perpetual elusiveness. The Great Han is a pioneering analysis of
Han identity, nationalism, and social movements in a rapidly
changing China.
