POV: Northern power couple makes eye contact with you at a party (You're gonna be dead in 2 weeks tops.)

Ok so for the fashion notes:

Qing dynasty hanfu for both of them; though it is highly stylized, just so you know.

Mobei-jun's jewelry is more mongolian-based than anything else. Though it is referenced from chinese drama costuming so I guess it not that accurate. It does look cool though, so we're going by Airplane logic here.

The crown on Shang Qinghua is called a Fengguan, which means "Phoenix crown", it was popular throughout a lot of dynasties but mostly the Ming one.

The nail guards absolutely have incurable poisons in them, thank you kind commenter for the idea.

pearls pearls pearls Shang Qinghua is just drowning in them and his husband keeps giving him more.

Mobei-jun is wearing his Hanfu wrong, this is indecent behaviour, his tits do look good tho.

Shang Qinghua is wearing those fabulous looking Qing Dynasty heels, he's short as fuck actually.

I have a massive headache please be nice to me abt this

Old Chinese houses are an inexhaustible creative space in terms of wooden interiors. To me, something alike is associated with childhood memories of a countryside house in Zhejiang.

Some fanart of Katara and Toph I made some time ago. I wanted to draw them in Qing dynasty clothing and as a fan of Story of Yanxi Palace I used their clothing as a reference.

I'm planning out a modern fantasy story where the man characters, who are vigilante-type people, all wear hanfu. Each group has a different dynasty as inspiration. I wanted to ask if Qing dynasty hanfu are considered hanfu in the same way that Tang or Song dynasty hanfu are.

You hit a bit of a landmine, haha 😂

The Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Manchu ethnic group. Laws were implemented forcefully converting fashion from the Hanfu styles of the previous Ming dynasty to Manchu wear for everyone, so Qing Dynasty clothing are not Hanfu. It's Manchu wear (满族服饰).

You'll notice Qing Dynasty clothing lacked the large sleeves and flowy dresses common in Hanfu, this is because the Manchus were nomads, so their clothing were more form fitting to make horseback riding easier. Women in the royal court wore what were called 'flower pot shoes' that had a raised platform in the centre.

Also the hair styles are different, especially noticeable in the case of men who had to shave the front half of their head and leave the back in a long braid. This caused a huge uproar among the Han people because in their belief system, hair is a gift from your parents and cannot be cut (unless you were going to be a monk). Cutting hair was a penalty equal to being beheaded. It actually caused a lot of conflict that resulted in the court threatening beheading for anyone who refused to conform.

Another dynasty that's in the same category is the Yuan Dynasty (Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing). The Yuan dynasty was governed by Mongolians (this was about when Ghengis Khan was having his fun all over the Asian continent) so the clothing from this dynasty are also not Hanfu.

All very beautiful though 😃❤️
