Hanfu was traditional Chinese clothing from Confucian times until the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, which was not ruled by Han, but rather by Manchus. The Manchu imposed upon China strict dress rules, and introduced what is now known as Chinese traditional clothing. This, covered under garments like the tangzhuang, the qipao, and the changshan, also included the queue hairstyle and several other changes. Not following these new rules was considered treason and punishable by death.
Your challenge is to keep Hanfu clothing preeminent in China, at least to the point where modern Chinese formalwear consists of hanfu. If you can keep it as everyday dress, even better. And, to avoid the simplest answer, you must keep the Qing Dynasty in power.
