Straight-sleeved Zhiju (straight-edged) robes: Similar to the curved-sleeve Zhiju, this style of robe has short sleeves that are wide and straight. The overall length of the robe is also shorter. The robe has the signature straight-edge from waist to floor shared by all Zhiju robes

Two of these robes were unearthed at the Ma Shan No.1 Chu tomb, currently displayed at the Hubei Jingzhou Museum in China.

If anyone's counting layers, we're now at 5 layers 🥵 If anyone has personal experience wearing Zhiju or Quju, please share! The one time I tried wearing one that draped on the floor I basically had to lift the robe up with every step, otherwise I'd step on it (granted the one I bought wasn't accurate so the drape of the fabric didn't leave an opening at the front). It looked great in the mirror though 🤣

Thai BL Battle Of The Writers with Tutor and Yim will start airing on July 29th

Synopsis: Writer Obaun faces accusations of plagiarism from top online novelist Shan because their protagonists are so similar. However, they unexpectedly have to collaborate on a project. (seems like wuxia elements are because of a reincarnation plot)

【About 赐服/Cì fú in Ming Dynasty】

<赐服/Cì fú> is a kind of clothing system. The imperial court rewarded meritorious men or woman with crowns and clothes to show their favor. Its system is complicated and diverse, there are “four-season clothes/四時衣", five-season clothes/五時衣” or Gesha/葛纱 and mink according to the seasons; there are Gongfu/公服 and flowers according to the seasons; etc. The clothes bestowed are usually higher than the rank of the recipient.

--------

Five-season clothes/五時衣：Attire of five different colors worn in five seasons in ancient times.

Four-season clothes/四時衣:Different Attire worn in four different seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter

Gesha/葛纱:Gauze woven from kudzu fiber.

Gongfu/公服:one of the official attire

----

Clothing is a daily need, but because it is the emperor's reward that endows the meaning of class, it has become a symbol of the imperial class and the emperor's favor. Use highly recognizable patterns on the clothing to show status and class, making clothing a channel for "showing off wealth". Anyone who can wears <赐服/Cì fú>is a courtier who is valued by the emperor.

The <赐服/Cì fú> of the Ming Dynasty are divided into four levels：Qilin robe(麒麟服),DouNiu robe(斗牛服), Feiyu robe(飛魚服), python robe(蟒服)

The Fourth-Class is Qilin robe(麒麟服):

The qilin (Chinese: 麒麟) is a legendary hooved chimerical creature that appears in Chinese mythology, and is said to appear with the imminent arrival or passing of a sage or illustrious ruler.Qilin are a specific type of the lin mythological family of one-horned beasts. The qilin also appears in the mythologies of other Chinese-influenced cultures.

Because the Qilin is a beast of benevolence and righteousness in the legend, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty regarded the Qilin robe as a gift and rewarded meritorious officials of the fourth and fifth ranks. Although Embroidered Uniform Guard(錦衣衛)on-duty guards are not high-ranking officials, they are also allowed to wear Qilin robe(麒麟服) because of their special positions.

The Third-Class is DouNiu robe(斗牛服):

DouNiu(斗牛) is not an ordinary bull(公牛), but a legendary horned dragon(虬龙). The DouNiu(斗牛) is like a dragon with sharp horns, a python-shaped fish tail, and two horns bent like ox horns.Those who can be awarded DouNiu robe(斗牛服) include officials of the third rank and above, generals who have made meritorious service in guarding the frontier, and people who have received special rewards. There are also examples of officials or celebrity families being rewarded with DouNiu robe(斗牛服), but these are exceptional and rare. DouNiu(斗牛) was originally a star in the sky, so the recipient thinks that he has received great glory.

The Second-Class is Feiyu robe(飛魚服):

The prototype of the Feiyu(飛魚/Flying fish) is the 文鳐鱼(a legendary fish with wings) in the "山海经/Classic of Mountains and Seas", which evolved into a python-shaped flying fish in the late Ming Dynasty. ↓文鳐鱼(a legendary fish with wings) in the"山海经/Classic of Mountains and Seas"

The image of the flying fish in the Ming Dynasty has two horns on the dragon's head and no wings on the fins, retaining the characteristic of the rolled tail.

Feiyu(飛魚/Flying fish) robe are generally rewarded to meritorious officials of the second rank or above,High-ranking eunuchs lead, and Embroidered Uniform Guard(錦衣衛). However, not all Embroidered Uniform Guard(錦衣衛) are eligible to wear flying fish robe, only the commanders of Embroidered Uniform Guard(錦衣衛), the emperor's personal school lieutenant and the guard of honor accompanying the emperor, these powerful confidantes of the emperor are eligible to wear them.

The Highest-Class is Python robe(蟒服):

The highest level of <赐服/Cì fú>in the Ming Dynasty was python robe(蟒服), second only to the dragon robe worn by the emperor. The python pattern is very similar to the dragon pattern, the only difference is that the dragon has five claws and the python has four claws. Python robe(蟒服) are generally only awarded to 司礼监's eunuchs, ministers of the cabinet(内阁辅政大臣), ministers and counselors of the Ministry of War(兵部尚书参赞), and princes and heads of foreign vassals. Adding a Python robe(蟒服) represents prosperity and wealth. A jade belt is required to wear the python robe(蟒服), and there are two types: sitting python(坐蟒) and moving python(行蟒). In terms of dignity, sitting pythons are higher rank than walking pythons.

※司礼监:is an eunuch in charge of the emperor's documents, seals, palace etiquette, etc.

canonically, Year of the Dragon occurs during Napoleon’s invasion of England, but let’s imagine a happier world where Temeraire and friends are in China and watching fireworks/eating dumplings/getting red envelopes full of shiny things like the royal guests they are

[ezhilmozhi]

When you take an aspect of a culture and claim it's yours - laim the cultural weight of the original as yours alone - then it's cultural appropriation. Anything from WESTERN yoga to yoga fashion can be and very often appropriation because you argue that yours is the ONLY way. Not acknowledging the aeons that the original culture was practicing it.

That's just one example....

Regarding culture “appropriation”

If you’re speaking english, chances are you’re participating in western culture. Wearing it, enjoying it and living it.

 So if the western world shares their culture with open arms, then why is it that you cannot share your culture back? 

 Its not called culture appropriation when a minority wears a suit. So its not cultural appropriation if a white person wears a kimono. People don’t always dress to mock a culture, but usually to appreciate. Stop condemning that.
