"Later, Wu Guanzhong's paintings saved me. He painted in oils and left behind a large number of realistic landscapes of the Jiangnan region. Following this inspiration, I finally discovered that the Jiangnan classical gardens were what I had been searching for, the aesthetic system that "Ripe Town" desired. The framing of these gardens is the composition, and the beauty is achieved through the use of layers and depth. Most of these gardens are small in size, but by changing one's perspective, the scenery changes. This is akin to camera movement. The interior and exterior views in the gardens are connected through open doors and windows, creating a sense of penetration." Wang Zheng, screenwriter and director of "Ripe Town"

Starting to think this Taobao reseller is a scam. :/

Back on 6 August 2022, I placed an order with HanStyle at hanstyleshop.com. Since then, there's been no package and no response to any of my inquiries for an update, and my order status simply remains listed as "unfulfilled." (Today is 23 October 2022.)

I double-checked the hanfu I ordered for any indication that it was in pre-order/pre-production, which sometimes happens -- I know that having to wait a few months isn't uncommon. But there's no indication of that, and again, zero responses to any of my inquiries of, "Hey, just checking in about my order status?"

Their Twitter hasn't had any posts since April and their FB has no posts at all. I'm starting to think I'll need to file a claim with my bank to see if I can recoup anything. :/

On the other hand, I've had good experiences with FashionHanfu, the Hanfu Story (their site is WAY cheaper than their Etsy, jsyk), and New Moon Dance in regards to English-language Taobao resellers. NewHanfu has been communicative with me, but their product quality can definitely be unpredictable.

Traditional Chinese makeup is rich in history and symbolism. Back in the day, dating all the way back to 1600 BCE, the Chinese women often focused on lots of colour and designs on different spots on the face, symbolizing good fortune, happiness, desire, and others. wishes, symbols. Eyebrows have always been a big part of their makeup history as well, styling them in every way imaginable. Traditional Chinese makeup is is a beautiful blend of artistry, cultural significance, and timeless beauty, there has been many changes throughout their history and each dynasty has something special about it. Starting with the Shang dynasty that lasted from 1600 - 1046 BCE. Not a lot is known from this time, but it is known the people then loved using bold colours and intricate designs, they used colours like white, red, green and black to their lips, eyelids and cheeks. Something also interesting is they used extracted juice from leaves of red and blue flowers as rouge. Next is the Zhou dynasty, 1046 - 256 BCE. This was the dynasty that makeup was really shown to us, the one that we know more of as being the 'first signs of makeup'. This was the dynasty for facial cream, lip gloss, fragrance and all the really light makeup. The people of this time started using grease from animal fat or plant seed oil to make their cosmetic products. The Han dynasty, 206 BCE - 220 CE, this is the dynasty where the people started wearing more makeup again. But, not in the safest way... Due to social status, the upper class women used ingredients like ground up tin and lead to create their perfect base, whereas the poorer folk used materials like ground up rice grains for their makeup, less whitening, but still effective. The product, Dai was also introduced during this time which was a simple greenish, black paste made up of burnt willow sticks and water for the women to draw their eyebrows on after they had shaved theirs off. This was done to keep up with the trends and have whatever eyebrow shape was popular next. Tang dynasty, from 618 - 907 CE, during this dynasty is when the women of ancient China really started to give makeup their all. This era used more colour, designs and significance than any other, they brought back Haudians, small symbols that could go on in many colours, painted on a woman's face to represent court ladies and other high ranking women. Mianyes which are like haudians, but placed at the corners of the mouth instead of the forehead which is where haudians are usually placed. And, lastly, xiehong, crescent shaped haudians painted at the temples. For the Song dynasty this is when women started to revert back to the natural makeup look, only using white and red in their routine, often using white to highlight points of their face like their forehead, chin, and nose. Something that happened during this time too was Dai was replaced by ink to draw on ones eyebrows. The Ming dynasty, reigning from 1368 - 1644, they were very similar to the Song dynasty they used their makeup to more compliment their natural beauty instead of wearing really heavy makeup. They also started making themselves less white and more healthy by adding less product and using rouge carefully, placing lightly and only on the cheeks. Last but certainly not least, the Qing dynasty, 1644 - 1912, this is the dynasty we know the most about as its the most recent and we had cameras for the ending of this dynasty so we have photographic proof of their makeup was and what the styles were. This was another dynasty for the simple, clean makeup after 2000 years of heavy blush. The women of this time focused on highlighting natural beauty and keeping themselves clean looking.

( I have the very lovely @kimalysong to thank for encouraging me to post this bit of overthinking which I greatly appreciate!)

Now that we have a full line up of the EN release for the covers of the main story for MDZS, I was curious to discuss the running theme of them which consists of Wei Wuxian metaphorically looking towards his future (meaning Lan Wangji) throughout the art.

For reference, each of the covers:

MXTX fandom needs to stop having an obsession with making the straight dudes seem gayer than the actual protagonists.

Just saying, that washing of them (i.e Jiang Cheng, Feng Xin, Lan Xichen, Shen Jiu), to make them fanon gay and to prop them up over the canonical queer men, is highly disturbing on the English-base side of these takes.

You "making the work more gay" by doing this, is tone-deaf when you sweep away the leads just because you "don't like so and so" dynamic but slap that same thing on the straight men.

Lan Wangji could probably be chewing on Lan Xichen's forearm as hard as possible and the guy would still be going "He's the greatest and cutest little brother ever right?" All while everyone else stares in horror.

I will never get how some will read all the way through MDZS, get shown and told that all the lies based around Wei Wuxian were all untrue, and still tell themselves that Jiang Cheng was still wronged and his feelings are still "valid" by the end.

Jiang Cheng's feelings stopped being valid the moment he decided to be like his mother and choosing to hate people because that was easier than fixing the parts of him he disliked. It stopped being just a problem between his parents and him when he decided to use Wei Wuxian as a shield to name all of his wrongs to lash out against. You do not call someone just a support when you only use them as a scapegoat to say they are the reason for what you did not get in life. You do not call someone a friend or sibling and tell them they owe you for protecting them and then hold that protection over them as a price they have to buy into.

His story is tragic, but it stopped being empathetic when he dragged his projection of failings from just Wei Wuxian on to Lan Wangji and Wen Ning. He chose to project that his father and Wei Wuxian were playing favorites and always choosing someone else over him, when he himself did nothing to mature out of the angry sad child he had been. A child's feelings of being able to do nothing in the face of rocky parents fighting over control are valid. A grown man who continued to find a parental figure to rage against without ever bettering himself, is not.

Jiang Cheng got the ending he deserved because that was the effort he put into his bond with Wei Wuxian. You do not do the bare minimum and expect open arms after years of bitterness and hate that you created from your own insecurities and fed to the world. As an adult you do not continue to be hateful and expect unconditional love from the one you hurt constantly and belittle. Nor because you do one "good" action does it erase the pile of hate you put into the world and demand you are owed something from another. Forgiveness does not mean an opening to rekindle a relationship that is broken, it's just a door closing and sometimes it isn't ever going to be opened for you again.

You move on though and be yourself without excuses.

Wei Wuxian thinks he's the bad boy in the relationship, and turns out it's Lan Wangji.

MULAN CHARACTER DESIGN

Onto character designing Mulan! My main objective throughout this project was to explore diversity through fairytales, therefore it was very significant to explore people of different ethnicities within my character development. I imagine Mulan as elegant and fierce, based on the tales, I painted her out to be independent and beautiful. I initially wanted to explore wether or not I wanted to use the same facial features for each character, slightly altering them to fit the character. Therefore, I used the same facial features as I illustrated on Goldilocks and imposed this onto Mulan. I do really enjoy the outcome, however I realised, I wanted to give each character a unique personality based on their story. Therefore, I challenged myself to generate a variety of new facial features, additionally exploring into makeup of the Tang Dynasty and using this to influence the makeup of my character design.

 I concluded with a design I really loved, which was actually influenced more by the makeup of the Disney animation through its purple eyeshadow and red lips, however I believe it would be beneficial to coordinate the colour of the outfit I have designed with the shades within the makeup. For my character design which I really enjoy, I used the same lips as I illustrated in Goldilocks as I really enjoy the puckered- small lips as it gives me a distinctive style. Followed by spiky long lashes to enforce this fierceness and independence, complimented with stick thin eyebrows influenced by the makeup of the Tang Dynasty and decorative earrings. I really enjoy this outcome due to the fact that it is so diverse from Goldilocks and really captures Mulans personality.

hello ! i was wondering if there's specific hanfus for winter ? i've tried finding some for mens but idk if they exists ? thank you !!

Hi, thanks for the question! Yes, there are lots of hanfu specifically for winter. There are more options for women, but options for men exist as well! (x)

During winter, ancient Chinese generally wore their usual clothing items, just with warmer/thicker materials and more layering. I have a post here on winter hanfu and accessories, and my winter wear tag has more examples and links. The hanfu resource website Newhanfu also has many informative articles in its “winter hanfu” category. Below - Ming dynasty-style winter hanfu & tiger hats (x):

In particular, Ming-style hanfu is well-suited for winter, as it tends to be thicker & provides more coverage (due to the climate being colder during the Ming). Below - 1st row: Ming-style ao, 2nd row: Ming-style dahu (left) & bijia (right) for fall/winter, all from Shuyuci/漱玉词:

One of the most popular winter hanfu items for men is the qiuyi/裘衣 (“fur clothing”), a fur-lined long coat historically worn to keep warm in winter. Below - 1) qiuyi with Tang-style yuanlingpao (x) (note: this is also the style in the first photo of this post), 2) qiuyi with Ming-style tieli (x):

As with most hanfu styles, nowadays women can wear qiuyi too, as seen below - paired w/Ming-style hanfu - from Bansheng Luoshang/半生罗裳:

Another item for men traditionally worn for warmth is the changyi/氅衣, also known as hechang/鹤氅 or dachang/大氅. This is basically a long, large-sleeve coat with parallel-collars and ties in the front. Newhanfu has an in-depth article on it here. Below - 1st row: blue winter changyi from Dongting Hanfeng/洞庭漢風, 2nd & 3rd rows: winter changyi worn w/daopao from Jingshui Tongguang/镜水桐光:

And then there’s the doupeng/斗篷 (cloak). There’s some debate on whether the doupeng can be considered hanfu depending on it’s structure, but regardless it’s extremely popular and is an ubiquitous part of the modern hanfu wardrobe (x):

For specific hanfu shops, in addition to the brands mentioned above, you can also check out my hanfu shop rec list here. Several shops on the list have options for men and women’s winter hanfu.

Hope this helps, and if anyone has more info/recs please share!

Mistakes I’ve made with hanfu

So, I haven’t posted anything about hanfu before but I wanted to because I’ve come to a couple of realizations in the process of the last few months.

As context I’d like to mention that I’m a nonbinary person and I’ve always felt so alien in clothes of any kind. Going into any store was a chore for me because I spent hours just debating with myself whether to take this or that before I even realized I was NB. The fight afterwards was real. Everything was so gendered. I spent some years just choosing any kind of simple masculine clothes that would conceal my curves and just not loving clothes in general. But some time ago I decided to make a purge in my closet and get rid of everything I bought to hide myself and start wearing what I really want to wear even if I have to wear a binder (I got one now which, wow). But I still had some misgivings. And in the midst of this self-realization hanfu appeared. Like a ray of sunshine shining upon my poor self.

I’d always loved fantasy clothes because they experimented with more than daily wear will ever give you but you know, FANTASY, so it’s not like I could wear them. I play MMOs and some are chinese and furthermore had hanfu in them, but because I was playing games I didn’t associate the clothes in there with something real I could wear. I did save this image from one of them, Justice Online; and tons of screenshots of the webcomic Fox Spirit is the Best Actor, in which the protagonist wears tons of modified hanfu because he comes from the past.

I also had a fascination for kimono but only from afar, because they’re too rigid for me, it’s just variations of the same thing all the time. I do like haoris though, and I have a couple I LOVE. But you can’t make a full wardrobe only with haori. Then I realized every image I’d been saving for MONTHS was hanfu. Everything was hanfu! And it made me feel SO good about how I could represent myself and my body. This article in New Hanfu encapsulates my feelings very well: https://www.newhanfu.com/28151.html

After that came the research, the buying of a couple of things and the dispair at the prices of them. I bought a couple of things off Aliexpress, which I do not recommend, basically because the prices are crazy expensive (at least for the clothes that don’t come in packs, because I tend to only like one thing out of a set and etc), and also because I am not completely sure of where they come from (have they been bought and resold? Am I paying the original maker?). I got an under shirt in white, a shan and a modified cross collar shirt, as a base and to take patterns off them. But there was so little I liked and even less that was sold separately and at a good price AND in organic fabric, because lately I’ve had a gripe about it, that I decided to start making my own. I looked for pattern books but I’m broke so I decided to make the executive decision to just try to download the ones I saw in NewHanfu and try to size them to my size. Long story short: it didn’t work very well, nothing sized up like it should and I got SO confused by the process. But I managed to make two things with fabric I had saved for years because I knew I wanted to make something with them but didn’t know what.

First I tried to make a banbi similar to this one I don’t even remember where I found:

I had this beautiful fabric made out of shantung or wild silk that I got for cheap some years ago because the store got it from another one that closed. And first mistake is that I didn’t have enough fabric. Always buy at least two metres of fabric for hanfu! (This is for me as well as for whoever might be reading this). I had to go buy more and obviously they didn’t have it BUT I got lucky and they had the same kind of fabric but with the fibres switched around. If you know how shantung works it may have two colors woven together so that when the light hits it and the fabric shifts the color changes too. I had one with a red base and yellow overthread and they had one the other way around. So I got it and decided to do a two color banbi. My second mistake might be considered not looking for a real pattern and making my own off of another but the real one was underestimating the rigidity of the fabric. It... doesn’t fall. By now I’ve resigned myself to just wear this at special occasions. Shantung is ALSO difficult to work with because any hole you make in it you’re gonna see FOREVER. So it’s not very forgiving for first timers. Lucky me. It did end up coming together but I had to alter it (meaning I made it and had to take it apart because I made it too big and also the side seams were A MESS). (It’s still a mess inside, no one look!). I do plan to adorn it with some kind of embroidery (hides the mistakes AND looks pretty: genius) but for now it’s finished. Here is a picture of it (do forgive the trousers, I do not have a lower garment for it):

(Also, if any of you know about hanfu garment construction and see something blatantly wrong or have ideas on how to improve it or style it better, plase do hit me up).

The second thing I made was even more fraught with mistakes. I tried to make a ru as a jacket with some jeansy cotton fabric I had from years ago which was AGAIN too little (again, always buy at least 2 metres!!!). Luckily they did have some more for me and I actually ended up getting everything they had left. Which was, uh, not great for my anxiety because I couldn’t buy more in case I fucked up. Again the pattern was adapted from NewHanfu and here the mistakes were MORE evident. The process was much easier but the end result worse. It looked great, don’t get me wrong, but it wasn’t wide enough for my body. Or so I thought. So I had to alter it (aka take it apart) and add some extra pieces under the armpits (this was SUCH a mess). And when I thought I was finished I tried it on and realized the REAL PROBLEM was that It didn’t have enough width for the neck. And that was the point at which I decided to buy a pattern book for hanfu (https://www.amazon.es/Hanfu-Pattern-Making-metric-English-ebook/dp/B086Q2G5CN/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=hanfu+pattern&qid=1649097916&sprefix=hanfu+pat%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-2). I wanted the modernized hanfu version but only this one is in ebook so oh well. But now I know the damn ratio of the collar of a coat/jacket, which is (if I’m not mistaken) 1/2 of your neck + 4. Which is 6 whole centimetres more than the collar of my jacket. Which means I still have to take it apart AGAIN. But it did come out cute. Maybe I’ll add the extra centimetres and find out I no longer need the extra pieces on the sides, who knows. Moral of the story: do take measurements of your own body as you make a pattern, not like me. I did not. And ended up regretting it. Also DO NOT simply resize patterns like I did. Do compare the measurements you end up with with your own body. But here you have some photos of it (again, do excuse my jeans):

I am now in the process of taking this apart and also of waiting for real physical patterns I ordered from taobao through an intermediary (also a BEAUTIFUL shan in cotton, the only thing I found in an organic material I liked) while I bemoan the lack of songku everywhere. Seriously, the skirts where the only thing I didn’t like about hanfu and I was so sad there were no pants and then I found out Song style pants existed and fell in love and no one has any! I mean, there are a couple in taobao and I suppose I did find a pair in Aliexpress (do not recommend to order rn, they’re having tons of problems with shipping and I myself am waiting for three packages that are surely lost) but none at all were in organic fabrics so I just decided to make my own. So I will probably be able to make them several months from now when my patterns arrive, because there’s another covid outbreak where my intermedary lives. Joy.

If you do want patterns for hanfu though, the ones I bought look to be very high quality and they have a TON of them (there were THREE pants patterns, I’m SO stoked). So here you have the shop: https://shop117231714.world.taobao.com/?spm=2013.1.1000126.3.3e1a66e8Ooe5gP

Chinese Ancient Costume

When the sun sets on New Year's Day in China, the ancient Chinese costume of fireworks is seen in people's eyes as it was lit up for enjoyment and entertainment on the streets. Although some people still believe in the existence of fireworks when the sun sets on the east coast, most people celebrate the festivities that Chinese people celebrate on this day in their own way. This includes enjoying foods and drinks that were brought by the emperors and queens of ancient China. The Chinese people used to bring about a lot of excitement by lighting huge numbers of colorful lanterns on the roadways and would let them light up until the wee hours of the morning. When Chinese people see the bright light on the horizon during the evening, they think of the joyous celebrations that go on inside the house as well.

Chinese people hold various celebrations and events to mark different occasions in their lives. Some of these occasions include the New Year's Celebration, Spring Festival and the Great Fireworks Festival. In fact, Chinese people have been celebrating for over 1000 years now that the Great Fireworks Festival has been celebrated. As mentioned earlier, Chinese people use firecrackers as their main source of entertainment on this day.

One of the most interesting things about the Chinese ancient costume of fireworks is that there are various types available for you to choose from. These costumes represent the era when Chinese people used to celebrate with firecrackers as their main source of entertainment. You will find that every single Chinese costume that you can see in the Chinese supermarkets or in the Chinese street markets are representative of the different occasions that Chinese people used to celebrate at that time. For example, the Longquan festival which celebrates longevity is represented by the red costume.

Meanwhile, the Yin Festival is also celebrated with a red costume. The costume of fireworks that represents this festivity comes in the form of red, gold and purple colors. If you want to get the full effect and satisfaction from the Chinese traditional costume of fireworks then it is advisable that you go for the one that is made of red cloth. Not only that it will give the red your personality and characteristic, but it will also make you look really attractive.

There are many types of Chinese firecrackers that you can choose from. Most of the time you will see them being worn by men. However, there are some women who also love to wear them. These costumes are perfect for those who want to spice up their wedding party. However, before buying any costume you have to take into account a few important factors. For example, what type of theme are you going to celebrate?

You also have to consider how long your family or friends will be celebrating for. The designs of the fireworks will also depend on this factor. You will be able to find many designs that will suit any kind of party. For example, you can find the basic designs in the Chinese supermarket. If you want a more traditional design you can go for the authentic ones. Once you decide on this aspect, you will be able to get a good bargain.

On the other hand, you will also have to consider the budget. If you want a cheap costume you should choose the ones that are made of simple fabrics. These Chinese firecrackers are not very expensive so you do not have to worry about the amount of money you will spend.

In addition to the traditional red Chinese costume, there are other colors that you can choose from. For example, you will find blue Chinese ancient costume. If you want a more tropical color you can opt for the pink Chinese firecracker. There are also white and green ones that will be perfect for any party. No matter what color you choose to buy, just make sure that it suits your character and personality. You will get similar info from Newhanfu but in details
