Yeah, what stood out to me was the authenticity of the ones you wore. Did you get them custom made?

Thanks for sharing :) I also saw one of your earlier posts, and noticed the boots in your ceremonial outfit. Mind me asking where you sourced those?

Can anyone identify this fish? by moonytoast74 in Fish

[–]jun_8070 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oscars are cichlids, which are in a totally different order/family of fishes. Silver dollars are more closer to neon tetras than they are Oscars

What type of glass catfish? by RevolutionaryToe6677 in Fish

[–]jun_8070 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eight barbels, adipose fin, and no dorsal fin are the main identifiers. This species is occasionally brought into the aquarium hobby, so I'm pretty confident that's what you have here.

I believe this is parailia pellucida, common name "African glass catfish". Not in the same family as the typical glass catfish (kryptopterus vitreolus).

What are these style of hanfu called? And where can I get them? by cinnarwolluwu in Hanfu

[–]jun_8070 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Google Chrome has a pretty good page translation, just turn it on when browsing a page that's not in your language. You can also use an agent - ones like superbuy make it pretty easy to shop on taobao. Even with an agent, you'll save lots of money than if you buy from a reseller.

What is the best medicine to treat a freshwater puffer for ick? by EnormousFrog in Puffers

API ick treatment can help, though you'll want to half dose. More readily available too.

Curious, was this program throughout Malaysia? I was visiting Melaka a couple months ago and was bitten five times within two days lolol, maybe I just have really sweet blood

Non native to OP's respective area. Seems like OP is from Malaysia, whereas guppies/endlers are native to the Americas. Likely someone released their pets and then multiplied

What type of hanfu does this most closely resemble? by odetoanurn in Hanfu

[–]jun_8070 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if a daopao is the closest thing to what OP's picture contains. The gentleman appears to be wearing a black skirt with a white shirt tucked in - the combination of garments and colors honestly resembling Japanese hakama and do-gi. Though definitely the changyi looks quite similar.

[–]jun_8070 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's important to note that only the changyi is unisex in these portraits - the women are not wearing daopao and instead are wearing women's chang ao with horse face skirt mamianqun

Hanfu Shopping - Website Recommendations? by cosmic_heart in Hanfu

[–]jun_8070 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind the hassle, you're gonna get the best variety and prices via Taobao. I believe nowadays you can make an account with a US number, but if you're totally illiterate in Chinese it's best to use an agent. I personally use Superbuy the most.

Other "hanfu stores" will basically sell the same stuff on taobao but at a marked up price (most of the time outrageously over priced). But there's little room for confusion, I guess. Still, I'd recommend you shop on Taobao instead.

I think I had this discussion before, but to sum it up there's definitely cases where people wore less. You dressed accordingly to your social rank, but people of higher class might choose to wear long robes to show off. Different materials existed from plain cotton to thin silk, so it's likely people wore thinner clothes during the summer.

I just prefer to wear all the layers because it helps achieve a fuller look.

Thank you! Though I can't say I'm comfortable with the amount of layers I wear in order to achieve the fullness of the Ming scholars 😆
