Abstract
Modernity has caused many changes to culture and to a certain extent has contributed to the lapse of many traditional practices. However, Chinese women have continued to practice zuo yuezi all over the world. Zuo Yuezi is traditional confinement which has been practised by the Chinese for at least 1000 years. Studies have shown Chinese women all over the world are still practising the tradition.

This article will also attempt to explain the reasons for zuo yuezi to be continually practised by Chinese women by analyzing the functionality of the tradition and other factors which could have supported its resilience.
