"Flourished Peony" (《国色芳华》) is a really cool Chinese drama that dives deep into the Tang Dynasty. It takes a close look at the fashion, makeup, and etiquette of that time. The show’s team did a ton of research, to restore Tang Dynasty artifacts to get the hanfu and makeup just right. You can really see the effort they put into making everything look authentic and true to the era.

If you're into Tang Dynasty Hanfu,Makeup , or the whole vibe of that period, I highly recommend watching this drama. It's a great way to get a glimpse of ancient Chinese culture through a really well-done romantic drama. ---------------

【Debate on the Interpretation and Wearing of the Li Chui Tomb Crown Ornaments】

The crown ornaments unearthed from the tomb of Li Chui (李倕) are still a topic of debate due to the fact that the pieces were found scattered, making the exact method of wearing unclear. The version currently displayed in the museum is a reconstruction based on the collaborative efforts of Chinese and German experts. However, some scholars in China have a different view, arguing that this ornament may not necessarily be a "crown."

Fwe can refer to the perspective of the author(@左丘萌) of Chinese Beauty and Adornments: The Tang Dynasty Daughters (《中国妆束：大唐女儿行》), who offers an alternative interpretation of how this crown ornament was likely worn（If anyone are interested, you can save the picture and translate it through the translator）

the right is the author (@左丘萌)'s restoration result and analysis process of the relics:

And we're back in business!! Chugging along into the Golden era of the Tang Dynasty :D

Four Tang (四唐) The Tang Dynasty is often referred to as the Golden Age of Chinese history. With a flourishing economy and rich cultural developments, the Tang Dynasty went through some significant changes through its 290 years.

The "Four Tang" was originally used to differentiate different styles of poetry during the Tang Dynasty, but have also become used to categorize Hanfu styles. Please note that there is some discrepancy when exactly each period started/ended, but these are the general years used: Early Tang / 初唐（618 — 713 AD） Golden Era / 盛唐（713 — [755~766] AD） Mid Tang / 中唐（[755~766] — [825~836] AD） Late Tang / 晚唐（[825~836] — 907 AD)

(Not done with the Qin/Han robes yet, but taking a quick break to hop to the next time period for something a bit different.)

魏晋南北朝的襦裙 Ruqun (2-piece outfit) during the Wei-Jin + Northern/Southern Dynasties (220 - 589 AD)

This time period spans over 350 years and incorporates: 1) the Three Kingdoms era, 2) the Jin Dynasty, 3) the Northern/Southern dynasties

History background: Towards the end of the Eastern Han dynasty, the Han empire split into three kingdoms (Wei, Han, Wu) with Wei being the most powerful. Following almost a century of fighting, the three kingdoms were unified under the Jin Dynasty. Unfortunately, this didn't bring peace to the country as power struggles continued. Due to the continuous fighting, China's population was reduced drastically and many tribes from the north attacked, hoping to enlarge their own territory. This was a period of non-stop fighting and conflict, and it wasn't until the Sui Dynasty（581- 618 AD) that the country once again found peace.

Hanfu during this period: In terms of Hanfu, many new styles appeared influenced by a clash of different ethnic groups and cultures. In the Eastern Han/Three Kingdoms period, Hanfu started to evolve from a 1-piece long robe (known as "Shenyi"/深衣) to a 2-piece set with the top and bottom separated (known as "Ruqun"/襦裙). The bottom skirt is pieced together using several long, rectangular pieces, pleated at the top and attached to a waist belt, allowing the bottom to flare out.

This 2-piece Ruqun style reached a peak during the Wei-Jin Northern/Southern dynasties period, and laid the foundation for many Hanfu styles in later dynasties.

*NOTE: Since there are so many different styles during this period, there's a lot of information to dig through. I'm going to do my best to keep the it simple and straightforward, but if I get anything wrong or if there's anything confusion feel free to let me know :D

[chinesehanfu]

One of the first Hanfu outfits I bought was this style (I still have it). At the time I thought it was representative of the Tang Dynasty, but later found out that it's more likely a style from the Five Dynasties (right after the Tang Dynasty). Some historians have also speculated that the one large flower on the top of the head is more of a Song Dynasty style rather than Tang.

It's a good reminder that all of these speculations about historical styles are based on what we can actually dig up, but obviously tombs are limited. Maybe tomorrow we'll find a new tomb with new artefacts that'll throw everything we think today upside-down xD

[Hanfu · 漢服]Chinese Tang Dynasty(618–907AD)Traditional Clothing Hanfu Based On Female Dancer figurines of Tang Dynasty

【Historical Artifacts Reference 】:

▶Set of China Tang Dynasty“Tang Sancai" Figurines of Musicians and Dancers<鳥歌萬歲樂>・Wuzetian Period

Shaanxi Tang Sancai Art Museum Collection

In the Tang Dynasty, women who usually wore bird crowns were mostly dancers, and the bird was often in the shape of a peacock or a parrot.

The historical records mention the bird crown worn by women during the Tang Dynasty several times. For instance, in Du You's Tongdian (Volume 6, "Music Section," regarding the "Sitting and Standing Performers"/《通典》乐六“坐立部伎), it is recorded: "The Guangsheng music(光圣乐) was created by Emperor Xuanzong. The dancers, eighty in number, wore bird crowns and multicolored painted robes. They were dressed in the style of the Upper Yuan and Shenshou festivals, to sing of the emperor's achievements." Similar records are found in Xin Tang Shu /《新唐书》(Volume 22) and Taiping Yulan by Song Li Fang: "When Emperor Zhongzong ascended the throne, he created the Longchi music/龙池乐, with twelve dancers, wearing lotus crowns and stepping on special shoes, performing with elegant music, though without bells. He also created the 'Shenshou music/《圣寿乐》,' in which the female dancers wore five-colored embroidered robes and performed.

Additionally, he created the 'Xiao Po Zhen music/《小破阵乐》,' with dancers dressed in armor. Lastly, the 'Guangsheng music/《光圣乐》' had dancers wearing bird crowns and painted robes, to sing of the emperor's accomplishments."

Taiping Yulan (Volume 568, Music Section 6) records: "Empress Wu had the 'Bird Song for Ten Thousand Years' music composed during a grand banquet in the Eastern Xiangluan Hall of the palace. At that time, birds capable of speaking were kept in the palace, and they often repeated 'Ten Thousand Years.' This music was created to symbolize this. There were three dancers, with large red sleeves, adorned with painted birds resembling the 'quail-like bird' (quyu). In present-day Lingnan, there are birds similar to the quail that, when raised for a long time, can speak, and they are called 'Jilie'/《鸡烈》."

直裾战国袍 / Straight-edged Warring States robe: Distinguished by the excessive amount of fabric for the sleeves and the waist-to-floor straight edge, this style of Warring States robe was worn between the Warring States period and the Han Dynasty.

Warring States robes can usually be purchased in 2 lengths; - trailing on the floor (great for photos, awful for walking) - hemmed right at the floor (not as beautiful in photos, a lot easier for walking) Most stores selling this style of robes have skipped the extra piece of fabric between the sleeve and body, changing the entire drape of the fabric. Instead of it naturally opening at the front, this small change in the design causes the fabric to be completely closed at the front which makes walking without stepping on the fabric impossible (speaking from personal experience) T___T

==**==**==**==**==**==**==**==

Hanfu, the historical clothing of the Han people in China, has thousands of years of history. Since the 2000s, there has been a revival of Hanfu within China, with many Hanfu stores opening in the past two decades.

I first became aware that I could purchase Hanfu in 2021 and hoarded a bunch. Recently, I started digging more and more into the topic and realized that, while many of the Hanfu being sold are beautiful, they're not exactly true to the styles of Hanfu in the past. That's not to say they shouldn't be sold or worn, I'm not interested in gatekeeping what others wear, but I became intrigued by what exactly DID the historical Hanfu styles look like based on historical artefacts.

For my own interest, and for any others who might be interested, I'm going to try and do a series of the various Hanfu styles throughout the dynasties.

Lion dance

The lion dance, is a form of traditional dance performed on joyous festivals and big occasions, such as the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year). It is a dance which imitates a lion’s various movements and actions, performed in a lion costume, accompanied by the music of beating drums and gong instruments.

It is believed that the lion is an auspicious animal that brings good luck.Therefore, a lion dance is performed to pray for good luck during the Spring Festival or during other celebrations.

The lion dance is an excellent Chinese folk art that has spread across the world, courtesy of local Chinese communities and immigrant groups who have settled in different countries, particularly in Malaysia and Singapore. Also, the overseas Chinese people in European countries and America have established many lion dance clubs, performing on Chinese festivals or on big occasions.

Origin

Opinions about the origin of the lion dance are widely divided. The most reliable one is this:

In traditional Chinese culture, the lion, like the dragon and the Chinese unicorn (麒麟), was only an animal which existed in myth, and there were no actual lions in China. Before the Han Dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD), only a few lions had reached the Central Plains from the western area of ancient China (now Xinjiang).

At that time, people mimicked the appearance and actions of the newly arrived lions in a performance, which developed into the lion dance in the Three Kingdoms Period (220–280) and then became popular with the rise of Buddhism in the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420–589). In the Tang Dynasty (618–907), the lion dance was one of the court dances.

Styles

The Lion dance was divided into two styles,

The Northern Lion dance:

The northern lion dance has close relations to wushu (martial arts). Usually, a young lion is performed by a single person and an adult lion is performed by a duo.

The southern Lion dance:

The southern lion dance originated from Guangdong, and it is famous in Hong Kong, Macau, and the hometowns of overseas Chinese people. The southern lion dance is also performed in pairs, and the performers wear a lion costume. The southern lion dance is a performance based on the study of a lion’s behavior.

[China] Tries to restore the famous dance during the China Tang and Song Dynasties< Zhezhi Dance/柘枝舞>

The blogger tried to restore the dance by referring to the movements in many related reliefs and murals from the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, combined with the Tang Dynasty records of the dance.

< Zhezhi Dance/柘枝舞>

is a type of well-known "Jian dance/健舞"from the Tang and Song dynasties. The ancient "Yudiao" (羽调) has a piece titled "Zhezhi Qu" (柘枝曲), and the Shang Diao (商调) has "Qu Zhezhi" (屈柘枝), from which the dance takes its name. It originated from Talas (a region in modern-day Kazakhstan, once under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Protectorate). Initially, it was a solo dance performed by women. The most popular form during the Tang Dynasty was the "Double Zhezhi Dance/《双柘枝舞》," performed by two young girls wearing red and purple silk robes, with Hu-style(胡人/Foreigner style) hats adorned with golden bells. They would dance in time with the beat of the Hu drums, their slender waists swaying in harmony with the ringing of the bells and the dance movements, creating a pleasant sound as they turned.

Zhang Xiaobiao/章孝标's poem 《Zhezhi /柘枝》includes the line "Zhezhi first appears, the drumbeat calls," and Bai Juyi/白居易's poem 《Zhezhi Ji/柘枝妓》 has the line "Three drumbeats strike, urging the painting drum." The dance features rich variations in movement, being both vigorous and lively, as well as graceful and charming. The sleeves of the dancer's costume alternately droop and lift, as described in the poem with phrases like "lifting sleeves amidst the busy drum" and "long sleeves sweeping into the embroidered train." The rapid and intricate footwork causes the golden bells worn by the dancer to produce a clear, crisp sound. Spectators are amazed by the dance's lightness and flexibility. As the dance nears its end, there is a deep bending motion of the waist.

-------- Annotation >Yudiao(羽调) & Shang Diao (商调)<

The Chinese pentatonic scale, or pentatonic mode, is a scale system commonly used in Chinese music. Ancient China named these five notes Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu（宫、商、角jué、徵zhǐ、羽） in sequence, which is roughly equivalent to the singing notes in Western music notation. Noun (do), (re), (mi), (sol), (la).

--------

In the Song Dynasty, it evolved into a group dance, and the official music included "Zhezhi Troupe" (柘枝队). There were many variations of the dance in the past, though most of the original songs were lost by the Song period. Despite this, the dance still flourished. Since the Yuan Dynasty, the dance itself disappeared, and the name "Zhezhi Ling" (柘枝令) only survives in the lyrics and music.

Along with the Hu Xuan Dance (胡旋舞) and Hu Teng Dance (胡腾舞), Zhezhi Dance was one of the three major Western Region dance styles that were immensely popular during the Tang Dynasty, often performed to welcome foreign envoys gathering in Chang'an China.

< "Jian dance/健舞 & Ruan Wu/软舞>

Jianwu (健舞) is one of the categories of court music and dance in the Tang Dynasty, specifically referring to a type of martial dance. It signifies a dance style characterized by vigorous, forceful movements and a lively rhythm, in contrast to the "soft dance" (软舞).

The Tang people categorized the various small-scale entertainment dances and musical performances popular in the palace, noble households, and among the general populace based on their stylistic characteristics into "soft dance" and "martial dance" (jianwu). Originally folk dances and Hu music, these were later reorganized and adapted by the court's music and dance troupes, often performed at feasts. The music for these dances typically used elaborate wind instruments and fast string instruments. According to the "Fangfang Ji" (放坊记) and "Yuefu Zalu" (乐府杂录), soft dances included pieces like "A Liao" (阿辽), "Jianqi" (剑器), "Zhezhi" (柘枝), "Hu Xuan" (胡旋), "Hu Teng" (胡腾), "Huang Zhuang" (黄獐), "Da Weizhou" (大渭州), "Fu Lin" (拂菻), "Damo Zhi" (达摩支), and "Ling Da" (棱大).

Ruan Wu（soft dance）/软舞

Ruanwu (软舞) specifically referring to a type of graceful and elegant dance. It signifies a dance style characterized by graceful, delicate, and flowing movements, in contrast to "martial dance" (健舞).

The Tang people categorized the various small-scale entertainment dances and musical performances popular in the palace, noble households, and among the general populace based on their stylistic characteristics into "soft dance" and "martial dance" (jianwu). These dances, originally folk dances, were adapted by the court's music and dance troupes and were often performed at feasts. The movements of soft dance were light, graceful, and elegant, resembling either a startled swan or a flying swallow. According to the "Yuefu Zalu" (乐府杂录), the main soft dances included "Liangzhou" (凉州), "Lüyao" (绿腰), "Suhexiang" (苏合香), "Qu Zhezhi" (屈柘), "Tuan Yuan Xuan" (团圆璇), "Ganzhou" (甘州), "Chui Shou Luo" (垂手罗), "Hui Bo Yue" (回波乐), "Lanling Wang" (兰陵王), "Chun Ying Zhuan" (春莺啭), "Ban She Qu" (半社渠), "Jie Xi" (借席), and "Wu Ye Ti" (乌夜啼).

Next time I will make a post to share to the Tang Dynasty "soft dance/软舞" restored by Choreographer：@李诗荟

------

"Taiping Yue": Ji《太平乐》· 急 (Great Peace Music: Quick), an instrumental movement in the Dashi mode (Chinese: Dashi diao, 大食调, equivalent to the Mixolydian mode on E), dating back to China's Tang Dynasty, as reconstructed by Bilibili user "männlichkeit," c. January 24, 2020. As the final movement of the suite "Taiping Yue," this piece is known by the title "Hehuan Yan" (合欢盐, Happy Together Song). According to musicologist Steven G. Nelson, this suite probably had its origins as a military dance, perhaps of the pozhen yue (破阵乐, literally "destroying the formations") type, in Tang China, which was transmitted to the Japanese court by the early 8th century, then arranged into a suite in the Japanese court of the mid-9th century.

In the context of the piece's title, the term "yan" (塩), which usually means "salt" in Chinese, refers to a particular type of poetic song popular during the Tang period (a synonym for "qu" 曲, meaning "piece"); "yïr" or "yır" means "song" in Turkic languages.

This reconstruction is based primarily on the version of this piece as found in "Sango Yōroku"『三五要録』, the most important and extensive collection of Tang-era scores for 4-string pipa; this collection was compiled by the Japanese nobleman Fujiwara no Moronaga (藤原師長, 1138-1192) shortly after 1177 (c. 1180), during the late Heian period (794-1185).

In Japan's tradition of Tōgaku (唐楽, court music of Chinese origin), this dance suite movement is called "Taiheiraku": Kyū《太平楽》· 急 (たいへいらく：きゅう), with the movement title being pronounced "Gakka-en"《合歡塩》(がっかえん). Its mode is called Taishiki-chō (大食調) in Japanese.

The Fengguan (凤冠) is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese jewelry that was worn by noblewomen and the empress as a ceremonial headdress. In Chinese culture, the dragon represents the emperor and the phoenix, the empress, hence the literal meaning of Fengguan: Pheonix (凤)  crown (冠).

Though there are many variations, the crown is traditionally decorated with beaded pheasants, pearls, gold, and gemstones, and most highly prized of all, kingfisher feathers. The art of making ornaments from the iridescent blue feather of kingfisher birds ( Tian-tsui ) has been mastered for over 2000 years and the creations are used as prestigious adornments for hairpins, headdresses, fans, and panels and screens. 

The number of dragons, phoenixes and pheasants that embellished the crown differ depending on the wealth and status of the wearer and the occasion. The number of pearls embellished also ranges from 3426 to 5449 and the gemstones, from 95 to 128.
