Viewers who meet Zhou Jieqiong (周洁琼) in The Lament of Autumn (玉簟秋) often pause at her forehead. A short tuft hangs near the brows, as if a straight fringe lost its side sections. At first glance, the strand breaks the face’s symmetry and looks odd beside today’s side-swept or airy bangs. The drama places her […]
Costume dramas invite viewers into a made-up past, yet small choices can break the spell. In Tigers Sniff the Rose (尚公主), Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui reunite after Blossoms of Power (九重紫), so expectations were high. When the first stills arrived, fans hoped for a fresh historical look. Instead, many viewers paused at the same […]
New behind-the-scenes stills of Li Yitong (李一桐) in Gu Yue Feng Hua Lu (古乐风华录) have set off a small storm online. Her costumes carry dense bead fringes, layered floral roundels, tall hair ornaments and unusually long ribbons. Some viewers joke that she looks as if she stepped out of a Dunhuang (敦煌) mural. The comparison […]
A single row of jade beads can start a historical argument. When Meng Ziyi (孟子义) appears in a regent’s costume in the new drama, viewers see power, ambition, and a familiar silhouette. The crown’s dangling beads make many think of Wu Zetian (武则天). The comparison is tempting: a woman behind a curtain, a court below, […]
In Against the Current (兰香如故), Li Meng (李梦) plays Zhao Xingtang (赵星棠), a woman whose entrance announces authority. Two long pins sit slantwise beside her bun. Each tip is a tiny spoon. At first glance, the pins look like mini earpicks stuck in her hair. The choice seems odd, almost comical. It is not a […]
A recent set photo from Ci Tang (刺棠) shows Lu Yuxiao (卢昱晓) in a white wide-sleeved robe covered with curling red, blue, and gray motifs. Some viewers called the pattern “very now,” comparing it to prints used by luxury labels. The question is fair: did the costume team borrow a contemporary design, or did ancient […]
A pink costume from Chang Sheng Gu (长生骨), also listed as Nian Xiang Si (念相思), has been passed around online with unusual energy. The surprise is not luxury. It is the easy way Yu Shuxin (虞书欣) wears a Hanfu shape that many viewers file under “stage only.” Her look borrows a Tang Dynasty round-collar robe, […]
Luotian county in Hubei began its 18th Dabie Mountains Red Leaf Season on 28 October, with the main stage at the Hexi Fan waterside red-leaf area and a programme running to 1 December. Four other viewing points are tied into the same ticket and the same schedule: Shengrentang, Tiantangzhai, Xufengchong and Jiuzi Ancient Town. The […]
On 17 October in Chengdu, at the third Sanlian Humanistic City Season ceremony, the Xunpu zanhua headdress experience from Fengze District in Quanzhou, Fujian, was named one of ten Urban New Solutions for 2026. It was the only Fujian entry on the list. Zhuang Qun (庄群), a municipal-level inheritor of the Xunpu women’s custom, presented […]
