Grammar

1. 难道

The adverb 难道 emphasizes the tone of a rhetorical question. Positive rhetorical questions indicate negative meanings, and negative rhetorical questions indicate positive meanings. For example, the sentence 难道汉语真的这么难吗？(Is Chinese really that difficult?) emphasizes that Chinese is not difficult.

怎么又买了这么多饼干和巧克力？难道你不减肥了？

A: 喂，都十点了，你怎么还不来？- B: 难道你没看短信？我今天有事去不了了。

A: 你不是两点就出发了吗？难道路上花了两个多小时？- B: 我那辆车出了点儿问题，刚才把车送去修了。

2. 通过

The preposition 通过 means "the attainment of a certain result via somebody or by means of something".

任何成功都要通过努力才能得到。

这个节目我一直在看，他介绍了很多生活中的小知识。很多以前我没有注意到的问题，现在通过它了解了不少。

通过 can also be used as a verb to indicate "to pass through some place from one end (side) to another end (side)".

这条街只能步行通过。

The verb 通过 can also mean "to have reached a certain standard or met a certain requirement".

我通过那家公司的面试了。经理对我印象不错，他要我明天就正式去上班。

Compare: 通过 vs. 经过

Similarity: Both can indicate the attainment of a certain goal via somebody or by means of something.

通过/经过大家的努力，公司的生意越做越大。(⧰)

Differences:

a/ In case (⧰), 通过 is a preposition, and is a verb. Semantically speaking, 通过 emphasizes the method or means (of achieving something), while 经过 emphasizes the process.

希望通过这次活动引起大家的兴趣，让大家更了解我们公司。

经过一次次失败之后，他终于成功了。

b/ When used as a verb, 通过 means "to pass through some place from one end (side) to another end (side)", while 经过 means "to go... by way of..." without the meaning of "passing through".

这里正在修路，汽车无法通过。

我正好经过这儿，顺便过来看看你。

c/ 经过 can also be used as a noun to indicate the development process of something, while 通过 has no such usage.

小王把事情的经过告诉我了，原来这件事真的跟你没关系。

3. 可是

The conjunction 可是 is used in the second clause of a complex sentence to indicate a transition in meaning, often coordinating with a clause introduced by 虽然 before it.

A: 你怎么又想换工作了，这儿的收入不是挺高的吗？- B: 虽然收入高，可是经常要加班，很少有时间和家人在一起。

小时候，大家都说我像我妈，尤其是性格。可是成大后，他们说我更像爸爸。

当时她的父母和亲戚都不支持她，可是她坚持自己的选择，现在终于向所有人证明了她的选择是正确的。

top 5 hanfu outfits hanyi 💓 - xiaosean

*SCREAMING* I jumped straight into Taobao to grab pictures for this ask I AM SO EXCITED TO REPLY IT

disclaimer: oncoming picture spam which I just couldn’t bear to hide beneath a cut

not really a specific look, but more in terms of my top 5 (listed “chronologically”) favourite hanfu styles

1. 圆领袍 (yuan2 ling3 pao2)

Literally means “round-collared robe”

Originally for men

But became popular among women in the Tang dynasty

Some people also wear the collar unbuttoned so it ends up looking like this double lapel thing which is still damned cool

Sources:

如梦霓裳

寻景记汉服

织羽集

流烟昔泠

2. 飞鱼服 (fei1 yu2 fu2)

Literally means “flying fish clothing”

Type of clothing given from the emperor to eunuchs/ guards (e.g. the Embroidered Uniform Guard) during the Ming dynasty

帅气 x100000 although I’ll never be able to pull this cool look off

Sources: 

如梦霓裳 [1] [2] [3]

3. 道袍 (dao4 pao2), bonus if it’s paired with a 披风 (pi1 feng1)

Literally means “Taoist robe” but was not restricted to only Taoists

Common full-length single robe that was worn by men in the Ming dynasty 

Sometimes with a ma mian qun (will talk about this later) underneath it!

LOOK AT THAT PI FENG AHHH 仙 x100000

4. 马面裙 (ma3 mian4 qun2)

I LOVE THESE OMG

Literally means “horse face skirt”

Common pleated skirt worn in the Ming dynasty

Can be traditionally worn as part of the 袄裙 (ao3 qun2), which consists of the skirt and a top worn over the skirt

But I reaaaally love the ma mian qun because it’s so damn versatile and can be paired with modern classy looks like this

(I’m getting this top and skirt on 11.11 hoho)

An even more modern look like this (I have this particular skirt hoho)

AND EVEN MODERN BADASS LIKE THIS (also getting this skirt during 11.11 hoho)

Sources:

如梦霓裳

七巧坊

拟梦汉服

华裳九州

池夏

5. 交领襦裙 (jiao1 ling3 ru2 qun2), bonus if it’s paired with a 大袖衫 (da4 xiu4 shan1) or 褙子 (bei4 zi3)

Okay I’m a bit hazy on when this started becoming popular/ commonly worn so I’ve put it right at the end instead of fitting it “chronologically” like the rest above

Some styles are from the Wei-Jin period, some are from the Song dynasty, and a lot of styles on Taobao these days don’t really stick to particular period of what a jiao ling ru qun looks like

Literally means “cross-collared short coat and skirt”, as opposed to the 齐胸襦裙 (qi2 xiong1 ru2 qun2) which is something like what jiang yanli in donghua wears 

I prefer the cross-collared styles more hehe

Tho speaking of cross-collared styles, my major pet peeve is when people accidentally draw the collars crossed the wrong way (right over left instead of left over right)... because that’s usually meant for the deceased

你去我就去。= 要是你去的话，我就去。

下雨就不去了。= 要是下雨的话，就不去了。
