Not me watching Hanfu douyin and spending more time than I should wondering how much it would be a pain in the ass to actually wear heziqun day to day bc it’s strapless and strapless dresses are banes of my existence. Like this is so beautiful but I would be tugging it up all day.

(That’s why it always amuses me in BTS of historical dramas when artistic directors just add straps to heziqun.)

Hi, I have a few questions — are there any new trends in the hanfu movement you’re fond of/don’t like? Why or why not?

Is there a website out there that complies a list of the most popular and active hanfu taobao shops? Or even just a “top XX hanfu taobao shops of 20XX”? A lot of my favs aren’t available or the shops have closed so i don’t know where to really look anymore haha

Hello~ Thanks for the ask.

Ok, to be frank, I am not really following the fashion closely nowadays because I am neither on little red book nor douyin. I followed a few bots on weibo but they are generally only reblog the more "authentic Han" style products. For example my friend told me that heziqun was very hot in 2022 and she received a lot of requests but I maybe saw 2 or 3 heziquns on my dash for the whole year.

汉服资讯 summarizes top ten shops of the month/year but it is a paid service (but you can google the title and see what will come out). In December 2022, the top 10 hanfu shops are:

十三余

织造司

重回汉唐

七月夕

钟灵记

池夏

游园惊梦

织羽集

远山乔

乌扣旗舰店（specialize in children hanfu）

There is also an official account on wechat called 汉服安莉 that can be used to check if the shop is authentic.

New trend I like: pockets on mamianqun! They usually couldn't hold anything heavier than a card because it will mess with the smoothness of the pleats (especially in skirts made with lighter fabric) but one can put their hands in it and that is enough for me.

Dislike stuff below (basically just rants):

New trend that I really dislike: The weird "xiyu" (western territories) or Tibetan style or whichever minorities style. I don't know how popular they actually are as I only see them on my dash when people are complaining about them. I am not familiar with Tibetan culture so those often just looked like cheap knockoff of Tibetan robes (because they are), but there are people who write analyses about why some of those patterns are offensive when they were used that way. IDK how should I feel that hanfu is not exotic enough for consumers that some designers thought they need to include those elements.

The other things are just more of a personal tastes... Also they are older than one year so possibly not new trend per se, like fake peals tassel on skirts. I just think they don't look flattening on people not as flat as paper because they will not hang down smoothly. It is just too messy for me.

#hanfu #rants #fouryearsofshades #I have not heard of 乌扣旗舰店 but the rest have tea.#some are more severe than the others #also big shops like those usually have many designers and sifu #so the cuts and qualities could varies #i have not buy anything for any of those shops other than a pibo and two fadai from 重回汉唐

what do you mean? of course i'm coming with you.

she barks out a laugh, unladylike and surprising.

her tutors would've shivered in horror.

❝ aang, it's just gonna a stupid dinner party with a few up-and-coming businessmen and the four nations' socialites. not your kind of group — trust me. ❞ not anywhere near her group of interest either, but ever since she's been made the executive partner for the refinery, she can sorta admit ... her dad's job is pretty cool. sure, dad's advice had been that she needs to learn to be more... careful with her words sometimes, but toph thinks people isn't totally put off by her straightforwardness either. it gives them something solid to stand on, and they don't expect her to be underhanded or lying through her teeth in her delivery. it works out.

it's just a little stupid how they need to get a little dress-up for these things though. not that toph totally minds that either. okay, well, yeah, she's totally gonna complaint about it, but she's compromised with the staff dad sent her that they'd let her wear pants underneath her heziqun, so that, too, will work out, she thinks. and the dress will long enough it'll cover her bare feet which was sweet. oh, yeah. she's looking forward the most for the meat though. that spread. she knows if sokka were here, he'd already be drooling with her.

toph begins to take off her wrist braces, getting ready for tonight. ❝ plus, don't you want to lay low, anyway ? stay here. meditate. or do whatever it is avatars do. i'll be back before you know it. ❞

i need you close at all time, accepting.

#bndair #no but maybe like... right before they decide to take on that trip that we've talked about #......also maybe this is just an excuse bc i love the idea of t0ph being more open to wearing traditionally feminine clothes #on her own term <3333 #GREATEST: ANSWERED.

hey! I've heard some ppl talking (complaining) about how, in the upcoming Mulan movie, there seems to be historical inaccuracy w the clothing?? Personally, I thouht there was; it looks like tang then switches to song for her like,,,big Matchmaker outfit?? I'm not really sure T.T What's your opinion??

Hi, thanks for the question!

Yep, you’re right - the costumes in Disney’s live-action Mulan film seem to be mostly based on the Tang dynasty, but Mulan’s matchmaker outfit is quite different. Let’s take a look at it (excuse the low quality screenshots):

We see that she’s wearing a (rather cheap-looking) one-piece, long-sleeved purple robe with spiraling hems, that resembles the type of hanfu called quju. Quju was popular during the Han dynasty, and wasn’t worn during the Tang dynasty. Below is an image of Mulan’s outfit (left) and a modern quju (right). Aside from Mulan’s strange “sash”, the outfits look quite similar from the waist down:

Once we look more closely at the top half of her outfit, things get weird(er):

First of all, the collars are very loose and open, which would never be the case on an actual quju. Second, she appears to be wearing underneath her purple robe an embroidered Tang dynasty-style hezi (chest cover), which is never worn with quju. It makes her look like she’s wearing a heziqun (hezi dress) under her “quju” - essentially, two styles from two different time periods worn on top of each other. It is, quite frankly, a bizarre look. Below for comparison - quju (left) & heziqun (right):

If you want to see what Mulan actually would’ve worn during the Northern Wei dynasty (the setting of the original Ballad of Mulan), I have posts on that here and here. Popular hanfu brand Qianshan Yuandai also came out with a design that combines Northern Wei style with the color scheme of the original matchmaker outfit:

Another historical inaccuracy is that most of the women in the film wear earrings, which would not have been the case during the Tang, Han, or Northern Wei, as ordinary women only started wearing earrings during the Song dynasty (which I wrote about here):

Still, I’ll give credit where credit’s due - the makeup does portray some actual historical Chinese trends (even though it’s applied badly). For example, Mulan has a red huadian (forehead decoration) and e huang (yellow forehead) makeup, in which the forehead was painted yellow as an early form of contouring:

The matchmaker has two black mianye (dimple-like cheek decorations) as well as two blue xiehong, which are crescents painted besides the temples:

There’s a lot more I could say on the historical accuracy & aesthetics of the film’s costumes, but I’ll just cover the matchmaking scene here. Hope this helps!

is the fashion from rebel princess inspired by a particular dynasty?

it is heavily inspired by late tang and early song (especially with the heziqun)

For @arcanaflowerfestival2020

I forwent a mask entirely in favor of putting Liuyin in traditional Chinese makeup, which I swear I love a Normal Amount, but it just felt so on-theme, I couldn't like, not use it, like c'mon, the huadian is literally shaped like a flower and one of the origin stories involves a princess getting a plum blossom stuck to her forehead and being unable to wash it away, prompting a fashion trend, and the lips are a popular Tang Dynasty style made to emulate the shape of flower petals.

As for the eyebrows-- because I wanted to.

Me: I'm not gonna draw Liuyin in Tang dynasty clothes, it's too opulent for their style and I don't like chest high ruquns

Also me: Anyways here's Liuyin in Tang Dynasty style make up and a heziqun, which is literally a Tang Dynasty chest high ruqun with an added sash to lower the waistline

guizhong in a ruqun but the heziqun style that was popular during the tang dynasty with cleavage

#tbd.#miss guizhong your bobbies #it’s obviously not as dramatic as the drama depictions but it was and still is kinda scandalous #hanfu revival has focused on the more modest types of hanfu so this has Not made the cut #but i still think they’re very pretty #all of the chest high ruquns are so so lovely
