Blue-Green Mountains and Rivers

The blue-green shan shui (simplified Chinese: 青绿山水; traditional Chinese: 青綠山水; pinyin: Qīng-Lǜ Shān-Shuǐ), is a Chinese painting style of "shan shui". The main colours of the paintings are blues and greens. (Source)

Emperor Minghuang's Journey to Sichuan; a blue-green shan shui painting depicting the flight of Emperor Xuanzong from Chang'an, a late Ming Dynasty painting after an original by Qiu Ying (1494–1552).

.

The aesthetic brought on by this art style is acknowledged and celebrated to this day. Probably the most notable example would be this dance last year, that imitated the blue-green mountains using a clever combination of dyed clothing and choreography.

.

There are cosplays like this too, paying homage to the style.

.

See 19:50 mark for a whole CAKE!

.

And in the currently airing Cdrama New Life Begins, there's a whole sequence of a banquet held with a blue-green shan shui diorama as the backdrop! (End of episode 5 and beginning of ep 6)

.

If you know of more examples please feel free to share!😍

I cracked up during this scene! I love this grumpy sunshine couple. Their scenes make me either laugh or cry so hard.

Hello! Hope you’re doing well :D! Just wondering what cdramas you’re watching now.

New Life Begins! It's really enjoyable and heart-warming. The plot is kind of non-existent and comes in and out almost like every once in a while the writers remembered they needed to have plot, but it’s got great world-building and characters which make up for it.

I love the concept of the nine regions and how each of those regions represent a different facets/levels to feminism.

You have Xinchuan in the middle being the big patriarchy, and you have Danchuan which is the kind of female-led, female-empowered society that Romance of Tiger and Rose tried to convey but ultimately failed. Danchuan make it very clear the key to empowerment/equality is about respect, and not like actual power or dominance.

But you also have the in-between regions like Jichuan where the FL is from, it isn’t explicitly matriarchal like Danchuan but clearly isn’t the ultra-patriarchal society of Xinchuan either. Here, just the practice of monogamy allows the FL to have different expectations in her marriage compared to her friend, Hao Jia, who comes from a region where polygyny is still the norm.

Hao Jia starts out with awareness that this system sucks but thinks that with that awareness she could play patriarchy to her advantage to benefit from it. Though it makes for a heart-breaking story for Hao Jia, I love the way this drama deconstructs how that ends up being impossible because systematic patriarchy is inherently designed to oppress women and there is no way to benefit from it without losing yourself.

It's also interesting that even though Jinchuan is still clearly male-centred and male-led, the fact that it’s about as close to a capitalist society as this world gets, it also provides women more freedom, at least in terms of being financially-independent. This is a very intriguing very pro-capitalism stance that I kind of hope/wish we can explore more. Are there any dark side of that and what is division of labour in the family like in Jinchuan if both men and women work…Do everyone just pay for childcare or do you just hoist that off to other family members…?

I love all the ways this drama subverts your expectation of female relationships in a typical drama. By episode three when they show the way Haitang and the solar ladies bond and team up to deal with the Third Prince, you should know that this drama is all about women supporting each other, but it still manages to surprise me when they continually refuse to take the catty internalised misogyny route. It’s like this drama decided to set up all the ways that women could turn against each other and then just goes, nope, they’re going to be best friends instead.

One of the things that reassured me that this drama is probably going to stay on the right path throughout is that there is no criticism of the path that Hao Jia chooses even when it traps her in an abusive marriage. Instead there is explicit acknowledgement that the fact that her husband is an abusive asshole is very much on him and just because Hao Jia chose to be his concubine doesn’t mean she deserves this. And she deserves everyone to help her get out of this situation.

At the same time, I was so pleasantly surprised with the Third Prince’s arc of realising that he’s the problem and has been treating his wife and concubines like objects, and how this allows him to learn from that. It’s acknowledgement that yes, men are taught by society to undermine/mistreat women, and change is only possible when they realise what they’re doing is wrong and commit to change. Except violent abusive assholes like the Second Prince. He deserves to die.

I guess the slow burn romance between the ML and FL is cute. But I forget they’re married most of the time to be honest. I also enjoy Bai Jingting in the comedy moments more than the serious political ones.

Sisi and the Seventh Prince are just *chef’s kiss* introvert with anxiety representation. I love how Sisi just occasionally shows up to throw money at her friends to deus-ex-machina them out of scrapes and then disappears again because social interaction is just *too much*.

Anyway, this drama: 10/10 would recommend. -h

New Life Begins: Li family costume appreciation

DISCLAIMER:

I am not Chinese by nationality nor ethnicity, nor have I received any formal education on Chinese culture and history. Therefore my observations may be erroneous and I'd be grateful for any correction offered by a more knowledgeable party!

Period dramas are not meant to be 100% accurate representation of historical details. Some dramas may attempt to have some semblance of reenactment, in which case it would simply be a bonus. Especially ahistorical fusion dramas will attempt more modified takes on historical wardrobes, sometimes mish-mash pieces with elements from multiple dynasties. So take everything here with a grain of salt.

.

The wardrobe of New Life Begins, for the most part gave me a vague Song Dynasty inspired aesthetic. If you followed this drama faithfully you may have noticed that it had gone an extra mile with its worldbuilding details, where there are 9 provinces that would remind you of real provinces of China due to their placements and unique characteristics. I did a post about that here.

There I said, the FL Li Wei's home province Jichuan, makes me think of Yunnan- adjacent area because it is described as mountainous and well-suited for farming, atop other reasons such as its placement on the map..

AND how the styling of the Li family stood out among the other characters! Some details, reminded me slightly of Miao ethnicity, who are especially noted for their silver jewellery.

Here are the similarities I noticed:

.

The hairpins and combs

(Left: Miao combs, Right: Li mama's combs)

Additionally notice Li baby brother's thick silver necklace.

.

Irregular front lapels of the jacket and bead tassels on hemlines

I don't think I have ever seen something like this on Han Chinese hanfu jackets.

(Left: Miao dress, Right: Li Wei's dress when she first arrived)

Later, when she marries as the Legal Main wife, her wedding dress also improves in details to honor her background, compared to when she first married in as a concubine where she wore a regular red wedding hanfu like everyone else. At first I wondered if it's an alternate version of Xiuhefu but then felt like the finer details resemble the Miao dress more. It wouldn't be far-fetch of an estimation considering how the rest of details I mentioned above also direct to the same conclusion.

Notice the elaborate headdress quite different from the Han wedding jewellery we usually see, the dress itself being a jacket-skirt combo and not a one-piece outer robe etc hanfu.

And of course, the beaded tassel details continue. See the dress in motion here.

I really like that during Yin Zheng's visit to Li Wei's hometown, they incorporated some silver ornament details to his dresses as well.🥰

.

Overall I think it's not a stretch for me to say that New Life Begins did care for its visual storytelling a lot, that it attempted to do something layered with its character and costume designs. It is so delightful to see the merging of different elements of different heritages like this, and it is very much fun to go treasure hunting for those details!

I hope you enjoyed this AND, once again, do correct me if I got this wrong!
