Hi hanfu tumblr! I'm not sure who to ask about this, but is it appropriate to wear the hairpins (I think theyre called zan, and notably the velvet flower / ronghua type style) with non-hanfu outfits? Like, just regular outfits?

I think they're absolutely stunning, but I know, even if I had a hanfu that was like. frmo my dreams. i'd never end up wearing it

The beauty of hairpin and the concept of marriage.

I'm already so intrigued by the new trailer of The Loyal Pin. Something caught my eyes when I watched it and this is the exchange of the hairpin between Pin and Anin.

Hairpin has a history in Chinese Culture and I've discovered that Thai Chinese are the largest minority group in the country and have been deeply ingrained into all elements of Thai society. This is purely speculation and I'm not a historian. I'm just making deduction from what I've seen in the trailer.

In ancient China, hairpin were a status symbol. They could also symbolize the transition from childhood to adulthood. Hair and hair accessories can have philosophical, romantic, and cultural meanings. Exchanging an hairpin could mean you give special attention to someone else. Especially as Pin isn't a princess like Anin. It can also be seen as the equivalent of the western version of giving a ring to your betrothed. By giving the hairpin to Pin, Anin is showing her interest and desire to pursue a romantic relationship with her.

The series also implies that Anin is spending a lot of time with the missionaries and how it affects her way of speaking and behaving. So, it may be also why there is a ring exchange too.

I can't wait to see if I'm guessing right or if I'm just creating all this drama in my head.

Riverside Code at Qingming Festival (清明上河图密码) : Fashion

Small official styling reference

Inspired by the "Wen Hui Tu": Literary Gathering painting, the image of a minor clerk in Song dynasty is: hair cap, round collar robe with left lapel-over-right shirt underneath, and open crotch pants.

In the Song Dynasty, men thought that showing their hair in public was not proper, so whenever you go out, you must wrap your hair in a scarf or a hat. It was both for prevention against dust and as good manners.

.

Tuan Guan (Round Crown) styling reference

Inspired by the murals from Baisha Tomb of Song.

Zhang Qiniang's crown is silver-plated and hand- decorated by gold. This was a trendy style among wealthy Song Dynasty women. There have been various other materials used as well, such as flowers and emerald-adorned and lacquered crowns.

Riverside Code at Qingming Festival ( 清明上河图密码) : Qīngmíng shànghé tú mìmǎ Cultural Meta Masterpost

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Xuanzong and Yang fled but the soldiers escorting them, blaming Yang for the civil war, demanded her death. Xuanzong – sobbing, desperate to keep his love out of the soldiers' hands – had his chief eunuch strangle her. "Flowery hairpins fell to the ground, no one picked them up," wrote Bai Juyi.

The Emperor could not save her, he could only cover his face.

And later when he turned to look, the place of blood and tears

Was hidden by a yellow dust blown by a cold wind.

According to legend, Xuanzong hired a seer who tracked down Yang's spirit on an enchanted island. "'Our souls belong together,'" Bai's poem has her tell the emperor; "'somewhere, sometime, on earth or in heaven, we shall surely meet.'"

" Wow, a great ninja needs my help? What an honor!! Of course I would say.....NO "

Trixie is canonically Chinese-coded!

The MLP game is doing a Lunar New Year starring Trixie! She's wearing a tangzhuang with a customary red/gold palette. Her bag also seems to have a coin symbol and a knot––possibly a cloverleaf knot, which means good luck. I would have LOVED to see a decorated hairpin or comb keeping her bun in place, though.

Tulli and I knew she's Chinese from the start. This makes me really happy.
