College graduates posing for photos in baccalaureate gowns are always a sight on campuses in early summer in China.
大学毕业生们身着学士服拍照永远是校园初夏的一道靓丽风景。
Perhaps even more eye-catching than them, though, are their classmates in traditional costume.
而那些身着传统服饰拍照的同学或许比他们更抓人眼球。
Zhou Jing, a female student who will receive a diploma from Ginling College of Nanjing Normal University this summer, decided to pose for her graduation photos wearing a costume students often wore between 1911 and 1949.
这个夏天，周静（音译）就要拿到南京师范大学金陵女子学院的学士学位了，她决定穿一身1911-1949年时的学生装拍毕业照。
"I saw a picture online of that time and I thought the costumes were very beautiful and represented knowledge and wisdom," Zhou said. "So I planned to pose for my graduation photos in that costume."
“我在网上看过一张那个时代的照片，觉得那时的衣服很漂亮，代表了知性与智慧。”周静说，“所以我打算穿着这种衣服拍毕业照。”
The costume she wore for graduation consisted of a sky-blue coat and black knee-length skirt.
天蓝色的上衣加上一条黑色及膝裙就成了她的毕业礼服。
"I also said my classmates should pose for these types of photos, and they all agreed," she said.
她说：“我还向班上同学提议全班一起拍民国学生照，她们都欣然同意。”
They rented 36 costumes from her college for 20 yuan ($3) each a day. Before donning them and stepping in front of the cameras, they had already had photos taken of themselves in baccalaureate gowns.
于是她们以每套每天20元的价格从学校里租来了36套服装。在拍摄民国学生照之前，她们已经拍下了学士服毕业照。
The photos they posed for on May 26 were the subject of praise and admiration and even attracted the media's notice.
而这些她们拍摄于5月26日的照片广受好评，甚至引起了媒体的注意。
