April 11, Xi'an, China, Xi'an Museum/西安博物院 (Part 2):
First up, the star of the museum, Tang dynasty (618 - 907 AD) sancai/唐三彩 pottery figurine of a rider on a horse (三彩腾空马):
More Tang-era sancai pottery horse figurines:
This one is a sancai figurine of a camel......screaming? That's a reaction pic worthy face right there:
Another reaction pic worthy face.....this time on a small gold tiger figurine (the head looks more like a bat tbh lol):
Qin dynasty (221 - 207 BC) kneeling clay figurine. This is how people sat before raised seats and chairs became a thing, and this position is called jizuo/跽坐:
Bronze parts from a horse chariot (because the chariots were wooden, it decayed, leaving behind these bronze parts):
Left: bronze crossbow (called nu/弩) trigger mechanism and arrow heads (may be from Warring States period, 403 - 221 BC)
Right: Bronze swords and daggers. If I remember right, the ones on the bottom left are yue/钺 heads
Qin dynasty (221 - 207 BC) and Han dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD) wadang/瓦当, featuring various auspicious motifs and phrases. These are part of the roof edge in traditional Chinese architecture, as shown in the diagram on the right (wadang is on the bottom left in the diagram). Honestly I think at least some of these wadang designs can be used on mooncake moulds:
A golden loong dragon, very fitting for the Year of the Dragon 🐉:
A (giant) pottery brick decorated with two loong dragons:
A pottery lantern, I believe this is specifically made to be buried in a tomb
Green-glazed pottery dog from Han dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD). It's speculated that this actually depicts a songshi/松狮 dog, which was the breed that the chow chow was developed from. Note the wide head, small upright ears, sturdy protruding snout, stocky build, and the tail curved onto its back. This breed can still be found in China today:
Left: pottery female figurines, probably from Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern dynasties/魏晋南北朝 (220 - 589 AD), since this cross-shaped hairstyle/十字髻 was one of the characteric hairstyles of that time period.
Right: pottery female entertainer figurines, judging by the hairstyles, these are probably from Tang dynasty (618 - 907 AD). The hairstyle of the musicians to the sides are banfanji/半翻髻, the musician to the left is playing a sheng/笙, while the musician to the right is playing a paixiao/排箫. The dancer in the middle has a feixianji/飞仙髻 hairstyle.
Tang-era bronze mirror decorated with auspicious creatures and grapes. Traditionally, grapes motif symbolize longevity and wealth. This is the back of the mirror, the other side is the actual mirror, which is polished frequently and meticulously so that it may serve its purpose.
Various Tang-era hair ornaments made of silver, gold, or jade:
Tang-era sancai pottery tomb guardians:
Northern Zhou-era (557 - 581 AD) stone sarcophagus from Tomb of Master Shi/史君墓, also known as Tomb of Wirkak, dating from 580 AD:
A close up at the epitaph on the sarcophagus, which is written in Chinese and Sogdian. Translation of the epitaph from Wikipedia:
(The period) Daxiang of Great Zhou, year 2, in the first month of a rat year, on the 23rd day. So: there was a man of a family from Kish, domiciled in Guzang. From the emperor he holds the rank (of) sabao of Guzang, in the land of the Sogdians, a landowner. He is named Wirkakk, the son of Wanuk, (namely) Wanuk, the son of the sabao. And (his) wife, born in Xinping, is named Wiyusi. And Wirkakk the sabao married (his) wife in Xinping in a pig year, on the 7th day of the 6th month, on a hare day. And afterwards, here in Xianyang (= Chang’an), he himself died in a pig year, on the 7th day of the 5th month. And his wife too died on the 7th day of the 6th month, on a hare day, in the same year (as her) marriage, the same month, the same day. There is no living being which is born which is not subject to death; moreover, it is hard to complete (one’s) period in the world of the living. But this is harder (still), that, without being aware (of it), a husband and wife see one another (for the first time) the same year, the same month, the same day, in the human world (and) also in paradise, (so that) the beginning of (their) life together (in each place) may be at the same period. This stone tomb was made by Vreshman-vande, Zhimat-vande (and) Prot-vande, desiring a suitable place for (their) father (and) mother. — Epitaph of the tomb of Wirkak. Translated from the Sogdian by Nicholas Sims-Williams.
A clay model of a building for burial, if I remember right this is from Ming dynasty (1368 - 1644), I'm not 100% sure.
Traditionally, Chinese people believe that spirits of the dead will continue to exist and "live", so the dead must be treated as if they are alive, a concept known as 事死如事生. This is why ancient Chinese tombs were often filled with belongings of the deceased, their favorite and most prized treasures, and (often clay) models of houses and possessions, etc. A very famous example of this is Qin Shi Huang's terra cotta army. This is also why Chinese people today still burn paper offerings in the shape of money (mingbi/冥币; colloquially called paper money/纸钱) and items (called zhizha/纸扎) for the deceased. The biggest difference is that today's paper offerings might take the shape of modern items like laptops or cars.
Ming-era pottery figurines, arranged in a procession
A landscape painting hand scroll, and if I'm reading the plaque right (there were a lot of people so I didn't get to take a picture of the plaque), it's by famous Yuan dynasty painter Zhao Mengfu/赵孟頫 (1254 - 1322). This particular style of landscape painting is called blue-green landscape painting (青绿山水画), and is so named for its characteristic blue-green color of the mountains. Since the color was produced by mineral pigments, it's long-lasting and does not fade. The most famous painting of this style is One Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》) by Wang Ximeng/王希孟 in Northern Song dynasty (960 - 1127 AD).
And last but not least, this one surprised me too......clay water pipes from Qin dynasty (221 - 207 BC):

DESIGNS IN THE MAKING AND FINISHED DESIGNS!!
Shimo and Mothra are finished!!! Scylla might also be finished not sure yet but probably!! And the two I’m making right now are Barb and Tiamat!!
More abt up coming designs and now finished designs
Tiamat: I wanted to give Tia look based of Adriana Lima and a mixture of ancient Asian hairstyles and Ancient Greek attire!
Scylla: Scylla is mainly based of an outfit I had found on Pinterest that I thought would suit her and as for her hair I made it based of images of Ancient Greek hairstyles, I wanted to make sure her shell could be resembled more as a bun rather than a hat!
Barb: My favorite design(so far). I wanted to make her appearance more based of Mcbling/TrashyY2K due to her name being ‘Barb’. I just taught it would suit well and she looks quite nice so far!
Mothra: Mothra is mainly based of ancient Chinese attire! I wanted to do that due to a picture that came from Twitter, I taught it would be super nice and so I designed her off of 618-907 AD mid-Late Tang Dynasty and early(?) Tang Dynasty and also 220-589 AD Wei,Jin, Southern and northern Dynasties.

Mulan's second look in the movie is super iconic! So I did take some liberties so as to better the reference the movie. (Aka this look is obviously only semi-historical bc I wanted the movie references so..... here we go again!)
Still in the ~386–535 AD range of the Northern Wei or more generally the Northern & Southern Dynasties.
This look is based on fashion attributed to the Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasty time period: 220-589 AD.
I am the artist!!! Don’t repost without permission & credit! Thank you! Come visit me over on: Instagram , Patreon

The restoration of traditional Chinese clothing/Hanfu in theWei and Jin Dynasties, from裝束復原團隊(中國裝束復原小組)&coser小梦
Male Hanfu was in the Wei and Jin dynasties
The Wei and Jin Period (220 AD – 420 AD) refers to the period from The Three Kingdoms to the Two Jin Dynasties after the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty, commonly referred to as the preceding period of the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties (220 AD – 589 AD).
In Wei and Jin, “Wei” refers to the Northern regime of The Three Kingdoms, the Cao Wei and the Father and son regime of the Cao family, while “Jin” refers to the Jin Dynasty established by the Sima family
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the state regime changed frequently, and the ideology was free and open. Great cultural development, literature, thought, art, calligraphy, music are born to influence the later generations of great people.
People’s comments on the characters changed from the moral style to the appearance of the characters, and then developed to the spiritual temperament of the characters, which was called Wei-Jin Romantic in the cultural history

Rock color painting and mineral materials
During the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties (457 BC to 220 AD), great progress has been made in both silk paintings and murals in terms of color setting and skills. In 1949, in the Chu tomb on the sofa in Hunan Province, it was drawn with ink lines, painted with vermilion and earth red background, and painted with vermilion silk paintings on the lips and sleeves of the characters. Up to now, it has a history of more than 1300 years and is still as bright as before. The architectural sites of the ancient capital of Qin excavated in niuyang village, Yaodian Township, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, from the incomplete murals, the colors found are black, ochre (hematite) and stone green (malachite), with the largest proportion of black, followed by ochre and yellow. These colors have high saturation, and most of them are mineral pigments such as hematite, ilmenite and cinnabar.
The silk paintings of the Han Dynasty (2nd century BC) have reached a level of proficiency in composition, modeling and color. It can be said that it reflects the overall level of the use of mineral color at that time. Although the murals of Han tombs are not as meticulous as silk paintings, they are broad, magnificent and full of life. In the murals of the Han Dynasty, the pigments used include cinnabar, orpiment, stone green, chalk, animal colored clam powder (lamellibranchial fossils in Quaternary strata) and plant colored indigo naturalis.
During the Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties (AD 220-589), the depth and breadth of mineral pigments were further improved.
The style of Buddhist culture and art is mainly represented by the murals of Ajanta Grottoes in Maharashtra state excavated in western India from the 7th century BC to the 2nd century BC. Ancient India is called "Gandhara art", which has a distinctive exotic atmosphere, and a large number of human bodies appear in the picture.
The painting style of Kucha passes through Khotan, Loulan and other countries in Western China on the ancient Silk Road to the ancient Kucha country in Xinjiang, forming the form of Kizil murals. Later, it passed through Dunhuang murals in Gansu, Maijishan murals in Tianshui to the Central Plains, and then through Korea to form Koguryo ancient tomb murals, which finally spread to Japan, forming a mural form represented by the Golden Hall mural of FaLong temple in the early stage of Nara. In the long process of Buddhism's eastward spread, Buddhist culture and Buddhist art forms have been integrated into each region's own culture and aesthetic consciousness to varying degrees, showing foreign cultures in different directions.
