课堂展示结束后，他的外国老师和同学都非常喜欢，他也和大家简单介绍了一些中国传统元素。大家对此都很感兴趣。看到自己的视频受到网友关注，陈楚念在开心之余也表示“会继续努力做出更优秀的作品，展现民俗文化的魅力。”

After his classroom presentation, Chen received positive feedback from his foreign teachers and classmates, who appreciated the fusion of modern creativity with traditional Chinese elements.

Chen expressed happiness about the video gaining attention from netizens and stated, "I will continue to work hard to produce even better works and showcase the charm of Chinese traditional culture."

According to Xinhua News Agency, the custom of zanhua headwear or zanhuawei, originates from Quanzhou, Fujian province, and dates back to the Han Dynasty. The tradition persisted among women after the Han Dynasty, with the flowers used mostly being seasonal fresh flowers.

Interestingly, during the Tang Dynasty, there was also a phenomenon of men wearing zanhua headwear, which became increasingly common by the Song Dynasty and was even incorporated into certain ceremonial rituals.

In 2008, zanhua was listed in the national intangible cultural heritage lists.
