Confusion of Dynasty of the Hanfu

Do you get Confused or Mistaken Hanfu when there are dynasties that has the same hanfu or look very similar to the other dynasties Hanfu?

Comments

• Eddie · Based on the Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties hanfu, there are still significant differences. But there are some elements, characteristics, that have been present throughout the history of traditional Chinese clothing. Together with the convergence of elements in modern Hanfu, it is normal to have this confusion.
• Eddie · If you’re confused about a particular hanfu style, please share it in the group and let us all tell the difference for you!😊
• Carottie · I just got really confused/surprised while reading the article about Han dynasty clothing. Because I thought that Qiyao Ruqun started to be popular in Wei and Jin and that Shenyi was used during whole Han. 😅
• ChenLi · In fact, although the Han Dynasty and the Wei-Jin period were adjacent dynasties, the Han Dynasty began in 202 B.C., while the Wei-Jin period lasted until 420 A.D., a period of nearly 600 years.
• XiaoLingKai · Alright and thank you!

Quick Question

For the Crane Tower Hanfu in the Market, do you have the other colour beside the blue for female or male?

Comments

• Alys · I guess it’s what you see is what you get for, but you can message the admin if they have other variation.
• XiaoLingKai · Alright
• Ling · Crane Tower Hanfu set only two colors (Gery/Blue)😂😂
• XiaoLingKai · So it’s for both genders?
• Ling · Yes, it’s for both genders.
• XiaoLingKai · Oh okay 😊 I was gonna get both colours so I just wanted to make sure
• XiaoLingKai · Thank you!

Favourite Chinese Dramas & Actor/Actress

What would be your Favourite Chinese Drama? Which actor or actress got you inspired when watching their Dramas?

Comments

• Sherrii · I was recently watching A Dream of Splendor, and the three actresses are all excellent. In ancient China, women were often treated unfairly, but their actions and perseverance were so moving for me.
• Wei · Zhang Ruo Yun!!!
• Carottie · I like The long ballad the most.
• XiaoLingKai · I love watching The Long Ballad too!
• XiaoLingKai · Oh I don’t think I watch that drama but I’ll check it out ^^
• Merriel · I recently discovered Zhao Lusi in various roles. I like that she was a comedy actress, so she plays her roles with a nonchalance so close to a martial art heroine. I usually find female roles in dramas infuriating, but she always make them more bearable. ^^
• XiaoLingKai · True ^^ 🥰

I notice that elderly don’t recognize Hanfu even though they are wearing the one that is from the old Chinese movie like the opera/singing styles but think the Hanfu that I wore is a Kimono 😅 I was wearing the Blue Wei-Jin hanfu (Crane Tower)

Comments

• lllen · Yes, although in mainland China, many older people think that traditional hanfu is a kimono or hanbok costume.
• XiaoLingKai · Oh really? 😮 some people mistaken Hanfu as kimono and hanbok when they are totally different, they may have similar styles, designs and looks but totally different
• Xivvy · Oh noo haha 🥲🥲
• ivoci · 😥😟
• 陈 · Well, the effects of hanfu being repressed for… quite some time :’)

Quick Question

For the Lucky Hanfu Pack, if we already got the Hanfu from the market..do we let you know so you won’t give the same Hanfu?

Comments

• Ling · The probability of getting the same hanfu is rare.😂
• XiaoLingKai · Oh really?
• XiaoLingKai · Because I got Crane Tower (Blue), Fashion Crane and Female Poet already
• XiaoLingKai · Because I got curious if someone want to let you know which one they already got 😅 lol which is why I asked
• Merriel · Well the probability DOES get higher with the number of hanfu you get 😉 But I guess that’s the law of the lottery.

Is There Any Meaning or the Reason Why the Shape of the Fans Are Different?

Comments

• Stephanie · Interesting question, probably for better flapping. Several classic fan shapes have a small bottom area and a large top area.
• lllen · Not sure, but I remember here is an article introducing the fans

What Would Be Your Favourite Chinese Songs? (古风)

Comments

• Carottie · That’s a difficult question. I like 明月天涯，Eternal love (the Myth), Love this life (Elwis Wang,Rebel princess) and 半生雪 by 是七叔呢 the most.
• Merriel · I like Wuji from the Untamed, it’s what made me watch the series to begin with. However I think Jinshulai (锦书来) from Word of Honor.
• XiaoLingKai · Ayeee, those are my favourite especially WuJi from The Untamed ❤️❤️ lol talking about The Untamed, I’m actually listening to Bu Wang by Wang YiBo (Lan Zhan/Lan Wangji) from the Drama
• lllen · Jay Chou – Qinghuaci (Celadon)
• Merriel · Bu wang was to quiet for me ^^. I liked 曲尽陈情 though, especially with the Chinese opera style passage
• Merriel · I discovered that one in a entertainment show where they had to guess the song ^^
• Clubwinged · Are we talking about some specific sort of songs? Or is any genre okay?
• XiaoLingKai · Either is fine
• Clubwinged · Alright. Anything by Hua Chenyu, and probably some single songs by some other artists. Lately, I’m listening to the 7th chapter by Jay Chou, but I don’t know many of his songs, so I don’t really have a comparison. I also like the sound of Chinese opera.

Curious

I’m curious about how many people out there that love hanfu, bringing Hanfu Back to the modern world

Comments

• Raquel · I love modern hanfu, I will wear it at least 3 times in one month.
• ivoci · I love hanfu, both historical hanfu and modern hanfu!!😍
• Merriel · That’s a weird question. Isn’t that why we are all here? ^^

How Many Hanfu Do You Believe They Made in the Ancient Time? And How Many Styles for Each Dynasties?

Comments

• ivoci · I don’t know the exact amount, but each dynasty produced its distinctive style of clothing, reflecting the socio-cultural environment of the time
• Xinyi · Broadly speaking, there are two types: 1. tops (long or short) + skirts; 2. robe, which can be further divided into one-piece cutting or sewn together after cutting. But specifically for each dynasty, royal/officials/common people, and different occupations, the style/embroidery/pattern has changed.
• XiaoLingKai · Oh

What Style Is This Hanfu? My Apologies if I Am Spamming the Wishlist Thing 😅

Comments

• ivoci · I don’t know which dynasty’s hanfu it is, but I’ve seen that kind of hanfu in the c-drama “The Princess Weiyoung”
• lllen · Yes, it’s a cdrama costume, may be based on Jin dynasty
• XiaoLingKai · Oh
• XiaoLingKai · I only see it in Chinese drama like the one you have mentioned
• XiaoLingKai · I have never seen anyone wear one before
• xiayang · The shape of the sleeves resembles the Hanfu style of the Wei-Jin period
• redsugarx · It’s Northern/Southern Dynasty inspired hanfu!
• XiaoLingKai · ❤️❤️❤️☺️

How Many Festivals and Events Does Ancient China Time Have?

Comments

• April · The most classic ancient Chinese festivals are definitely the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingming Festival.
• April · Several members of the group have contributed articles about Chinese festivals, you can search “festivals” in newhanfu and read them.😍
• lllen · It is difficult to say exactly how many festivals and events were celebrated in ancient China, as the number and importance of these events varied over time and between different regions.

Does Anyone Know How Many Royal Family and Members There Are in the Ancient Time?

Comments

• Carottie · What exactly do you mean? Do you mean how many royal lineages?
• redsugarx · Yeah, the problem with this question is that when you say ‘royal family members’ it’s really vague what you’re talking about—it’s like asking how many royal family members of France have ever existed, you’re going to get hundreds or thousands of them depending on how large your range is.
• April · With the change of dynasties, the members of the royal family are always changing. In terms of individual dynasties, starting with the emperor, the empress, the crown prince, the princess, and the emperor’s siblings and relatives were all considered members of the imperial family. Of course, in ancient times, the emperor had a great probability of having multiple sons (all considered royalty), so it was an ever-increasing number.
• XiaoLingKai · Yeah Royal lineages is what I meant 😅
• XiaoLingKai · Oh

Has Anyone Try Making Their Own Hanfu? I’m Still Deciding on What Style to Make

Comments

Can I Get Advice on What Colour That Would Look Good Together and How Do I Make Those Long Scarf Thi ……

Can I get advice on what colour that would look good together and how do I make those long scarf thing

Comments

• Clubwinged · About the colours, there are out there ready palletes of colours. If you simply search for colour palettes, you will have a lot of options to choose from.
• Merriel · That is a VAST question ^^. well, going for complementary colors is always a good start, you know, red and green, yellow and purple, orange and blue. I personnaly like to mix secondary colors, grean orange purple, varying their saturation and hue. You can research color theory. As for hanfu you also need to take into account the colors trending in the partiuclar dyansty, I think we have ample information in the articles of this forum. You have a pattern for the scarf thing here: https://www.newhanfu.com/9262.html Other wise it’s just a long piece of fabric, pretty straight forward.
• redsugarx · Do you mean the pibo? It’s just a really long rectangle, usually like 3 meters by 45cm. Usually people don’t have fabric that long so you can sew two 1.5m pieces or three 1m pieces of fabric together and hem the edges.
• XiaoLingKai · Yeah, Oh alright
• XiaoLingKai · Thanks😊

If You Could Travel Back in Time, Which Ancient Time Would You Most Likely to Be In? ❤️

Comments

• Elizabeth · If I go back to the Tang Dynasty, I can experience the splendid style of costumes and taste the various fancy Tang Dynasty delicacies, just like in the drama.

What are the differences between the pouches for perfume or the scents and the pouch to carry the money? Do they design them differently and what do we call it?

Comments

• beulah · Pouches for perfume called Xiang Nang. And I think the material of the pouch for the change might be a little tighter.
• Carottie · I have seen some pouches for money and so on from Qing dynasty that were rectangular.
