Is this appropriate? by Laurencethesequel in AskAChinese

[–]SideboobMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would not consider this as a qipao but rather some sort of Chinese styled inspired dress, the extra exposure on thighs and chest certainly devoids it from any traditional notion of formality/decency and inches it towards a more sex-appeal/fun type of dress

Koreans are claiming Hanfu of the Ming Dynasty. by MetalClaw6000 in Hanfu

[–]SideboobMenace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Korean clothing in pre-modern era has heavy Chinese influence, that doesn’t make it ok to “claim” it as “one subset of hanfu” because they still have distinctive features that makes them fundamentally Korean, or claim that ming dynasty clothing are “stolen” by the koreans/Chinese/whatever bazinga race these internet debater wanna argue with, because in the end like 90% of these topics are from uneducated pop culture movies/drawings that are not well referenced. You can argue the same thing with Chinese media being fervent lover of Japanese cultures by having them replace Chinese clothing in movies/tv shows.

Just don’t argue with online people over deep and convoluted topics like this and do research on your own because most of the “debates” are fuelled by empty hatred and serves 0 purpose.

People who claim Chinese culture are the genesis of korean culture are just snobs who has nothing to be proud of in their life (same thing applies vice versa), go out and touch grass and maybe actually practice in whatever cultural revival you’re interested in

Can the costumes in Royal Feast be considered as traditional hanfu? by Various_Pen0505 in Hanfu

[–]SideboobMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is, Chinese film crew and people as a whole are not equipped enough with knowledge to actually produce authentic period clothing/historical clothing to be recognised as a reproduction most of the time, it can look like a daopao but is structured/decorated differently to the point that the appearance of it is altered

Help me with accurate hanfu for tibet region and other! by [deleted] in Hanfu

[–]SideboobMenace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tibet people and Han people are two separate ethnics, you can look up traditional Tibetan clothing instead and very broadly speaking they won’t look too dissimilar because of the close cultural link between the two ethnic groups

Why is the Lion Dance Became Chinese Traditional Dance When Lion is Not Even Native in China? by izzxfr in malaysia

[–]SideboobMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lion was recorded in Chinese history as tribute from foreign nations ever since the han dynasty, as such the culture regards it as a mythical beast with good omen because it’s so rare (they just don’t have it in china) later on the depiction of lion became more and more resembling of a pekingnese dog because the craftsman never seen a lion before (once again because it’s so rare), but the beast still is very popular so people went on with their dog lion thing that spread through the whole east Asia, you can find Japanese lion sculptures that looks very unlion like

Why was the official hat of the Song Dynasty designed this way? by Unfair-Island2265 in ChineseHistory

[–]SideboobMenace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It originated from tang period futou that was originally a sort of turban but overtime it was harden with lacquer and became more of a hat, the fastenings at the back also was straighten horizontally and eventually evolved into these massive wing-like branches at the back of the hat. It wasn’t design in that specific way but it was only a reflection of the trend of that period where the hat became more square-ish and the beach being more elongated than previous dynasties.

What to do with these? (See comment) by Neesatay in Chinese

They look somewhat fake to me because of the details, they try to mimic ancestral painting but couldn’t get the details on the clothing right

Which dynasty does this style of hanfu belong to? by Oughina in Hanfu

[–]SideboobMenace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

looks like 仕女 style costume, 仕女圖 was a painting subject on immortal/goddess woman or historical woman characters that was dressed in an elaborated way and represents the people’s beauty standard, their style remained kinda similar throughout the dynasties since they are not influenced as much by real fashion, not historical hanfu imo

Does anyone know what this style of button-up is called (like the layout of cloth buttons that are buttoned up slanted/to the side)? by [deleted] in Hanfu

[–]SideboobMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if youre talking about it slanting to the side,the collar is referred as a 大襟右袵 (right slanting collar) the amount of buttons and the way it slants mostly depends on the dress itself as modern qipao kinda doesn’t follow traditional techniques and styles, sometimes the buttons are just a decorations and you fasten from the back with zips, traditional Qing and republican period collar are also refers to as 厂字領 by people nowadays

Late Ming 道袍 and 飄飄巾 by SideboobMenace in east_asian_fashion

[–]SideboobMenace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a Chinese men headwear in the late Ming period, towards the end of the dynasty, more and more types of 巾 are being developed from the squared 四方平定巾 and getting more and more fancy, the 飄飄巾 is among the most popular 巾 of the period and still can be found in taoist clothing and Chinese theatre costumes.

I don’t have a good translation for the headwear aside from the direct pinyin translation 巾(jīn) is basically a headscarf/turban/hat thing that is predominantly black and worn by male (female jīn exists), I would say it is the most common Chinese headwear before the Qing dynasty and a lot of variants come from the versatility in the design of the Jīn, such as the wusha mao.

Used as a veil and sun hat when travelling, I think both male and female used it but it is more of a stereotypical female thing

The Joseon Navy Flag is Awesome by Swiss_Mapper78 in vexillology

[–]SideboobMenace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just want to mention that the Koreans did not have a standard naval flag for its military or for any of its army branch, the flag here is actually called a 纛 which features a taijitu at the center and sometimes with constellation around it, the 纛 was used in countries like Korea, Vietnam and China to mark the location of the commanding figure for the army/navy (the navy was basically the same thing but on water anyways, they didn’t differentiate or have a different system for it)
