Full story in the provided link..Rather lengthy for just five photos..but..interesting!!

On Xiaohongshu, a lifestyle-focused social media platform in China, a search for "new Chinese style" could produce over 4 million results, mostly user posts. That number assumes remarkable significance when you find out it is double the number of results for a similar search for European and US styles that were the rage in China once upon a time.

Be it fashion, home furniture, architecture, coffee, tea or weddings, every conceivable field is now being enriched by "Chinese style" — a reflection of growing confidence in local culture and its potential to infuse vitality into anything in a way that can be monetized.

"The origin of the 'new Chinese style' is the younger generation's fascination and love for traditional culture. Because of young people's unique understanding and bold imagination of Chinese culture, 'China-Chic' is now a trend that has gone global. The new wave of Oriental aesthetics is sweeping the world," said Hua Hui, associate professor of the School of Media & Communication at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

TAIYUAN, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- Qikou, an ancient riverine town along the Yellow River, was an important trade ferry in history. However, with the development of land transportation, the Qikou ancient town declined in terms of trade volume, leaving many of its historical buildings in disrepair.

In recent years, local authorities have carried out protection and restoration of historical buildings and ancient dwellings in the Qikou ancient town. At the same time, the integrated development of culture and tourism is also promoted.

Today the ancient town has become a popular tourist attraction. More than 5,000 people out of a population of about 30,000 in the town are engaged in the tourism industry.
