• wanda · 😲Gosh, she definitely did a lot of practice.
• Greer · fantastic traditional culture
• Xixi · She makes it look so easy but artful…
• LiangYuZuan · Candy art is like silk making. Tradition passed down generation to generation. Hanfu revival means bringing traditional beauty to modern light. That is how I feel about it. 😎😊😍
• Fredddd · I think the traditional culture is really endless and crazy surprises me in different ways. And it’s worth noting that someone is passing them on.

5. Traditional Chinese Fans

Comments

• Darren · It’s cool, is this the same as painting on a folding fan?
• LiangYuZuan · Did people make their own fans at home or did they have to go to a fan-maker to have a custom made fan? I feel the art of silk fans is as old as the traditional oiled paper umbrellas.
• Peng · It is more like buying traditional fans directly. Making your own is the equivalent of a hobby, I guess.
• Peng · yep, but I think the style of painting is not quite the same.

16. About the architecture and costumes in Luoyang

I’ve recently read a lot of comments about the drama Luoyang. Some of the architecture and costumes in the drama are based on Japanese styles, what do you think about this?

Comments

• Peng · In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by the scenes and costumes when I first watched the play Luoyang. But I overheard the negative news about it (not necessarily completely true, but reflecting some problems) and I think that this is not the first time something like this has happened in a Chinese historical drama, and maybe viewers who don’t know Chinese culture that well won’t notice it, but in fact it might be a little misleading.
• Ling · In fact, this problem has always existed, I have also expressed my opinion in the post before, most of the ancient costume drama story background, not set up in a specific dynasty, in order to look good, so it led to a confusing costume system. However, it is often the case that the crew did not take into account various details, so that the costumes and props, and even the architecture received a lot of criticism from lovers of traditional culture. But from such a fast-paced society and commercially driven, it is indeed very difficult to produce a drama with no flaws at all.
• Eddie · Many metaphysical novels have been adapted into drama, and compared to the past, the quantity has been improved, but the quality is hard to keep pace with. Another important factor is that many viewers are more concerned with a certain star in the drama, in other words, a certain star in the drama drives the viewing volume. The focus of a good drama turns from the perfection of the plot, costumes, and scenes into the stars.
• LiangYuZuan · I think the concept of costumes based on Japanese styles is a well-known misconception. The unfortunate part is Japan enjoys this period in history to have shared their culture with western world and their global marketing power taking credit. However, if people actually went into history they will recognize much of their “traditional” lavish clothings and mechanics that built their culture including writing language were rooted in China from Tang Dynasty during cultural exchanges. Restoring history is a constant struggle. And it is the worst thing any civilization can do to damage its people is to destroy history
• Remington · In an old Chinese saying “The insider knows the ropes, while the outsider just comes along for the ride.”
• Remington · In terms of plot, luoyang is still worth watching because there are still plenty of dramas the costumes are completely uncharacteristic of hanfu, while the plot wastes my time.
• Pamela · For people who are new to hanfu, it is very difficult to tell the difference.
• Peng · Perhaps the original intention was to restore the history of the Tang Dynasty for the audience, but now it is instead in an awkward situation.😂😂
• Peng · Yes, the plot is very heart-wrenching! And I totally didn’t expect one of the villains to be Gao’s best friend.
• Peng · The best example is these classic drama around 1997, Dream of the Red Chamber and Journey to the West, which are still being played over and over again.
• LiangYuZuan · Hanfu needs to be shown so much it is common like the qipao which was introduced to America by Song Mei Ling aka Mrs. Cheng Kai Shek
• LiangYuZuan · Oh I know what you mean. Life cannot escape politics these days. 😂
