chinese guzhuang fashion

#young actress and actors are cornering the guzhuang market #that's why the industry is becoming more and more competitive #when it comes to guzhuang idol dramas/guouju古偶剧 with fantasy elements(like xianxia dramas)#cnetizens are bored with the same old faces #media has found that young actress and actors (20-27 years old) especially new pretty faces are more appealing to viewers #cnetizens can actually be mean to actress and actors (over 33 years old) cast as lead characters in guzhuang idol dramas #reasons is that lead characters are usually portrayed as teenagers or really young people #and the audience find it very weird to have middle-aged people cast such characters #especially scripts are usually adapted based on fictions #so fans of the novels would be furious about such casting #besides cnetizens want to see normal aging faces #but these shows always use excessive filters and PS #causing the midle-aged faces to be fake and weird #i once saw really mean comments on douyin for xianxia dramas casting middle-aged actress getting over one hundred thousand likes #actress and actors in zhengju正剧 guzhuang dramas or luodi落地 guzhuang dramas are not affected by this #like telling a realistic down-to-earth story or story inspired by real history or related to folks #and there is no fantasy or xianxia elements #china #fashion #chinese fashion #guzhuang #cdramas

the alien hearing is proof that actually nutjob men are taken 1000x more seriously than any woman ever in the world.

#'i keep seeing stuff around our base'#almost like the US military has a long history of secretly testing drone and weapon tech #'how come they haven't used it?'#they almost certainly have #we (the world) didn't discover the chinese spy balloons until this year because we just didn't have our sensors set sensitive enough

here's a neat vid, go watch it if you haven't yet

there's Some things that i don't completely agree with personally, like attributing the Third sin to Materialism rather than Connection (i'd argue that the Ancients had no big issue with being materialistic, considering their golden attires and such- and that going with Connection overall better addresses both the core of Materialism and relationships overall) and then attributing the word Dynasty specifically to asian cultures but that's more history/word definition beef more than anything djgklsjlcgjkd

oh how i'd love to have a debate with this guy about Ancients...

#spot says stuff #rw #history fact: a dynasty was present big time around the years 800-1000 (iirc) on a large territory in eu which included slovakia #at the core of it per its definition a dynasty is just ''the same family ruled over the lands throughout multiple generations'' tho so its-#-not special or anything. with that definition in mind you can see how dynasties were also european things with all the kings and stuff #its just more often used for asian countries cuz they held out longer with the family stuff probably. or all the damn royal family drama-#-that happened there........ my Gods i know only a few chinese stories but Shit man there was a lot djgklsjgld #i wonder if identifying family members in the Ancient society happened through colors... like Sparrows n her siblings are colored from-#-dark blue (Dad's og clrs before turning grey) to turquoise (Inkling) and through this color coordination are the dynasties named #that's some fun thoughts #this video is prompting some neat thoughts.. ego is the culmination of the sins in short is one of them for example #did this guy actually come into contact with shkika or smth. the 'civilization before the ones we recognize as ancients' stuff at the end-#-sounds very familiar. -makes it to the end- Ah. The RW Discord. i wonder where that thought originated n who parroted it from who #☝ personally making the conscious effort to not seep myself into the fandom Too much since i like thinking about this stuff so i dont want-#-any fan-based answers/speculations. just wanna vibe with it uninfluenced n see where that takes me. also the rw discord feels dangerous

The next historical conundrum for tonight: as of the present timeline story in TGCF, Xie Lian makes reference to monks and bodhisattvas, so Buddhism is part of the cultural landscape in which they operate. Thus the present timeline is at least comparable to the Han dynasty, ~200 BC to ~220 CE, but it could also be as late as the Tang dynasty where Buddhism was at its height of popularity in China (~600-900 CE)

If we assume present storyline = Han dynasty, then there would not have been a prominent Buddhist presence in Xianle kingdom, but it could be if the present storyline = Tang

and yes this is all to justify one nonessential but dramatic sentence in the fic I started writing

(My other timeline notes are that anything after the Yuan dynasty doesn't make sense for a tgcf comparison because that's when you start getting more foreign presence in China and there's nothing in the text that suggests they're at that point. Also Qing dynasty is a completely different culture which makes it questionable in terms of its usefulness for fic research)

#to rate eras of chinese history based on vibes alone: tang sweep #but i like to add song restaurants to my fics because they sound fun and unhinged #if you ever want a good time: look up song recipes

Strongly agree on the learning experience it’s honestly wonderful. The moment of ‘hol up a minute that can’t be right wtf is this’ to ‘i’m now gonna spend 5 hours researching the topic in depth so I can make it right. In my mind :)’ and then being blessed with knowledge you wouldn’t have gained otherwise.

Thank you rgg I know this silliness is just a ploy to promote education in the yakuza fandom

And to their defense they do decent research when it comes to the political scene, especially within the actual organized crime, and reflect on it subtly in the games so that’s nice

Very clever strategy on their part to get people to sign up for modern japan history classes really

#snap chats #id be surprised if they Didnt know the political situation of the country theyre based in #HOWEVER it is pretty rare japan actually acknowledges its treatment of other asian groups so theres that #very wack that koreans and chinese were like. a reoccurring antagonist group considering japans history but theyre getting better

maybe I should start sharing historical/fengshen yanyi jiang ziya info on here so that a) fate fandom's perceptions aren't completely based on his first story appearance in tunguska (often in a negative sense) and b) it could be a catalyst for summoning fate jiang ziya

#lulas's randomness #it'd be great if people's impressions of jiang ziya/taigong wang were less based just on how much tunguska sucked to them #bc he's genuinely an interesting figure in chinese history to learn about!!#ofc I can admit I'm biased but also like. please please pleaseee learn about unfamiliar (especially non-western) figures @ eng fate fandom #lulas's rants

anybody else still thinking about lltg?

#lltg #love like the galaxy #I’m still not over the women #it’s like they thought to themselves #*history is hella misogynist #let’s see if we can take the tripe from history #and humanize them #100 percent here for the friendship between empresses yue and xuan #loved seeing 5 th princess at her m9ms funeral #the one decision I really didn’t like but am not comfortable enough with Chinese pop culture to really make a statement about #is empress xuan #in rl she’s based on a 2nd century empress #but in real life that crown prince went to rule yan and the empress was well respect3d for the rest of her life #so maybe I’m missing something #feels a lot like they wanted her to die of sadness #because she could never achieve one man’s pure love #this is the skeptic coming out #why are you steering so hard into the patriarchy ch8na #and why is css letting her #if she’s depressed put her in the sun #also Huo jun lby’s aunt hat a fucking great character #I love it when a sympathetic character also suuuuucks

I was yesterday years old when I learnt that Akutagawa-sensei had traveled to China

#my dad knew I was interested in Akutagawa lately since I was looking for his books and found me a historical drama about him XD #it's called A stranger in Shanghai if anyone's interested it is supposedly based off his journals he wrote #China was quite the precarious situation in the modern era with attempts at reforms the collapse of the qing dynasty the invasions by #foreign powers struggling for unity and attempting to draw in western philosophies and ideology for reform...#it is at these times that I wish I had more detailed understanding of Chinese history and literature...#what I know is not quite enough :')#but anyways there are stuff I can read online about how this trip may have affected him and his writing and I'm kinda curious #I will read more on him and his works... some day #honestly I'm just surprised to hear he went #*thinks about the eight nation alliance*#kat rambles

reading this LA Times article about chinese americans in Eureka, CA…racism is insane. it’s also interesting to have documentation of the thought process behind specific actions because at the turn of the century when plague his america, they actually were burning down the buildings in chinatown to “kill the disease” and the chinese ppl that white america was scapegoating at the time; and by that point chinatowns were own and built by chinese merchants/clan heads rather than being rented by the white man. but it is hilarious that kicking an entire minority out of a county could by seen a good christian (1st pic) non violence lmfao when 25 years prior they were slaughtering Indigenous ppl (3rd pic).

similar things were happening in canada too esp the part about being kicked out of towns. esp in the prairies, my friend who is Blackfoot was looking in their town’s archives and actually found an ancestor who was a chinese worker. and another friend’s husband who’s great grandfather was a chinese slave in peru. i really wish we were not eradicated from labour history, there is so much survival and so many ways that family has been found despite how christians see our lifestyles…

#help they are thinking about chinese labour histories across the americas…#maybe i’ll be a fine artist again and create work about it again…#i like doing archival based art work it’s just exhausting sometimes!!

Worse still, one of his colleagues wrote, even formerly respectable families

are mad for wealth and eminence . . . Taking delight in filing accusations, they use their power to press their cases so hard that you can't distinguish between the crooked and the straight. Favoring lavishness and fine style, they drag their white silk garments as they roam about such that you can't tell who is honored and who base.

"Why the West Rules – For Now: The patterns of history and what they reveal about the future" - Ian Morris

I have literally never seen any discussion of this film outside of the class I watched it in why is that this was such a horrifying film please we need to talk about it

#history #film #historical film #chinese history #mao zedong #china #maoist china #the cultural revolution #to live #chinese film #please #i need people to talk with me about this film #or people to talk about it online idk #i feel like a lot of people became maoists without knowing what things were like during the cultural revolution and the five year plan #and ofc one movie isn't enough to base a historical analysis on #but movies resonate harder than statistics #and idk it really got me to be anti-mao on top of all the statistics #while also showing that life could be normal at times #and shifting me to be pro-communal living 💀

Zhang Zongchang cannot be a real human man

He once proclaimed that he would return in a coffin if he lost a battle and, when he lost, he paraded through the city in a coffin, smoking a cigar

He was called a "General with three long legs" by Shanghai's prostitutes in reference to his penis size. Absolute chad

General 86 because his finest piece was as long as 86 silver dollars stacked on top of each other

These are some of the titles he gained :

Three Don't Knows": Based on Zhang's alleged lack of knowledge about how much money he had, how many soldiers, and how many women in his harem.

"72-Cannon Chang":This nickname might also have been connected to the alleged length of his penis.

His last words were "No good"

He wrote these:

Praying for Rain

Jade Emperor, your last name is also Zhang;

Why do you give Zhang Zongchang such a hard time?

If you don’t make it rain within three days,

First I will turn your temple upside down,

Then I will blast your mom with a big cannon

A poem about bastards

You tell me to do this

He tells me to do that

You're all bastards

Go fuck your mother

"

Zhang's father worked as head shaver and trumpeter, and was an alcoholic. His mother was an exorcist and "practicing witch".

Later that year, he was living quietly in Beppu, Japan, with his mother, though he was thrown into the spotlight again when he "accidentally" shot Prince Xiankai (憲開), a cousin of the deposed emperor Puyi. According to Zhang the gun he was holding while standing at his hotel window happened to go off and shoot the young prince in the back, killing him instantly, though it was more likely he killed the playboy prince for dallying with one of Zhang's many concubines. He was charged, found guilty by a Japanese court and given the choice between 15 days' imprisonment or a $150 (US) fine. He chose the fine.

His funeral attracted family members, ex-retainers, paid mourners, and "the curious"; the funeral procession stretched for 2 miles (3.2 km).

He loved to boast about the size of his penis, which become part of his legend. Zhang was a "well-known womanizer", and kept some 30 to 50 concubines of different nationalities, who were given numbers since he could not remember their names nor speak their language.

He was strongly influenced by a Daoist diviner, Tong Huagu, who had allegedly convinced the warlord of his powers by successfully prophesying that a train would derail. It was rumoured that the diviner had ensured this outcome by bribing some peasants to sabotage the tracks. In summer 1927, a famine struck Shandong particularly hard, and Zhang Zongchang was reported to have gone into a temple of the Dragon King to pray for rain. When this failed to improve the situation, Zhang returned to the temple. In his fury, he slapped the Dragon King's statue several times, and ordered his artillery to shoot into the sky for several hours. He also intended to build a shrine devoted to himself, including a large bronze statue, at Daming Lake.

Holy fuck.

Zhang Zongchang ? More like Zhang Zongchad

"the Chinese warlord Zhang Zongchang, who ruled Shandong during a turbulent period of civil war and was known for his exceptional brutality and sexual exploits, kept his elderly mother near him at all times. Even on campaign, he gave her a personal railcar to accompany his army in."

I can only dream of being this based

so opium wars and the emergence of tensions...as most know, the glorification or fetishisation of asian cultures is not a recent phase that has cropped up in history. this is more relevant for this period of british aggression against the chinese people, no i will not be correcting the wording of this because again i'm not going for nuance. anyway i thought it was interesting just how thoroughly they switched from idolising and presenting china as a pinnacle of morality and intelligence ( i think it was a french philosopher who upheld the chinese for this perception of them being greater than many other nations, he was super popular at the time but i can't quite recall his name? i think the research paper was 'search for modern china' under obviously, johnathan d. spence, i want nobody to tell me how generic of a choice that was, or i will cry:< I THINK IT WAS VOLTAIRE BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER PLS TELL ME IF SOMEBODY ELSE KNOWS THIS PAPER)

anyway kinda forgot where i was going with that but yes they went from this sort of idealisation of china and saying like "AWW CHINA scrunkly guy i like your art and culture:>" to "dude what are your policies lmao, cancelledddddd". essentially french philosophers? decided that china's policies achieved little to no progress and that they were ruled by pointless fear instead of reason when establishing a law or a societal norm. i'm not saying whether or not i agree with that...but i'm just saying europe had a lot of greed in their policies so i'm not sure if they're ones to talk. anyway yeah fun lil tangent thing! this is by no means a comparison of voltaire's idealisation of china's cultural climate as equal to the modern day's fetishisation of east asian cultures and her peoples. (it was more prominent or, at least, more obvious during the? mm i wanna say 1940s-1960s, like somewhere between world war two and the vietnam war but i haven't gotten into much of film or cultural impacts of the cold war and the prior wars, or quite frankly the relationships between anything other than the big three and china/korea so i'll say it's a tentative time period)

anyway yeah. :/

#clarification that i am thoroughly neutral in the balance of blame on british greed or chinese incompetency #also china has never been an innocent member in history so this is not a justification for their behaviour #they are a victim in this incident but important to note that they have always treated themselves as 'the center of the world'#mistreating many other asian countries based on this #history #NO NUANCE BECAUSE I AM DOING THIS ON TUMBLR AND MY MOBILE #but any fun papers you think i should read or corrections on my knowledge are fine anyway? cause it would be fun to hear #also i am really bored #john spence and julia lovell for the win btw
