When he was a child, Huang Rongbing watched his mother, Weng Xiuzhen, comb (梳) her long and thick hair. After forming a bun at the back of her head, she decorated (装饰) it with colourful flowers. The 34-year-old man recalled.
Many women in the small fishing village of Xunpu in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, decorate their hair this way. The colourful and unique headdress is known as zanhuawei. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2008.
In 2016, Huang Rongbing and his older sister opened a salon where tourists could get their hair styled in the Xunpu tradition and have their photos taken. “We have been fully booked and now there are over 200 businesses offering service to dress tourists in this traditional way,” said Huang.
After going through the full zanhuawei experience, Hu Titi, one of Huang’s customers, even brought this culture to Paris in France last year. Under the Eiffel Tower, she shot photos and videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with zanhuawei on her hair. She wanted more people to know about it.
The increase in tourist visits has pleased Huang not only because it is good for his business but also because it has led to people’s greater awareness of history and culture. “When people put zanhuawei on their heads, they express their wish for happiness. The flowers are seen as a symbol of hope,” Huang said.
