【Histoty Note】Warring States Period·Chu (state) Noble Women Fashion
Many people may wonder why this set of clothing and hairstyles are so similar to Japan, but the fact is this kind of clothing and hairstyle existed in China at least 1,000 years earlier than Japan.
During the China Warring States Period, it was popular for aristocratic men and women to wear robes.
Lacquered wood figurines and robe with similar images have been unearthed from the Shayang Tumbun Chu Tombs and the Chu Tombs at Mashan, many of which adopted the "three-dimensional structure" technique.
For example, a roughly rectangular piece is caulked at the intersection of the robe's sides, skirt sides and sleeve armpits. At the same time, the lower edge line of the top and the upper edge line of the lower skirt are incrementally extended, and then sewn into one body. It is called "Ming three-dimensional structure".
Its ingenuity is that while the outer contour of the garment remains unchanged, it effectively expands the inner space of the garment body, making it convenient for people to wrap the garment from the front to the back when wearing it, without damaging the original collar and garment forms.
The attire of aristocratic women from the Chu state in this set was restored based on the lacquered wooden figurines of the Chu tomb in Shayang. Their foreheads and temples hair are fluffy, and they have a hanging bun at the back of their heads. They wear robes that are connected up and down, and are decorated with brocade inlays at the seams.
The wearing method is the "layering method", two robes are stacked together in advance and then worn as a whole. This allows the collar edge of the lining to be show parallel to the collar edge of the outer garment, and a section of the lining to be show behind the lapel.The brocade edge is decorated with a wide belt and fixed with double belt hooks.
This "layered" wearing method shows the layers and details of Chu people's clothing, and can also show the graceful beauty of the body.
In addition, many creative clothing styles and fabric patterns emerged during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, bringing with them the unique atmosphere, mysterious imagination and ultimate romance of that era, becoming our inexhaustible source of art.

This is a character concept that came to me in a dream. I don’t have a whole story or even a name for her yet, but she’s essentially a traveling sellsword from Egypt (or a fantasy world’s equivalent thereof) who has made her way to imperial (pseudo-) China. I have to say that combining Egyptian and Chinese motifs was fun, if a bit challenging at the same time.

Quick Update + Patreon?
Hello! This is Min, the creator of FYCM, aka, Fuck Yeah Chinese Myths.
Hi. Again.
Are people still around this website? Like, seriously. 
It’s been a long time since I touched this blog, and it’s like super old. Tumblr also seems to be kinda dead, which is why I asked. I don’t know how it happened. Life happened, maybe.
The years after this blog have been hard for me. I went through several career changes/job losses, several relationships, and then, of course, the pandemic. Everything just fell by the wayside. But people were still reblogging my shit from time to time, and today, when I opened my email, I saw that people were still emailing me to do their uni research for them -- nope, sorry, can’t do your homework for you -- and some are still wondering if I am OK. Others have emailed me with permission to publish my content -- sure, go ahead, just give me credit -- and so on.
If you have sent me the odd message over the years and I didn’t reply, please don’t take it personally. Life just--overwhelmed me, man.
So I got to thinking--what if I set up a Patreon? I don’t know if anyone else is still around or if anyone else wants to read, but I’m gonna put all of my content back up on there, so it’ll be easier to read and access. You can help keep the blog going if you like -- if you donate, you get to see the blog post earlier, and maybe there will be some more bonus content. 
So what do you say? Do I have enough of an audience here?

🌸Fluffy Pillows: What happened in your most recent dream?
I was running in a black-and-white psych ward when I finally found a door. When I got the door open and walked through I was transported to Imperial China. I walked this long pathway in the sun on the coast with huge elephant statues but one by one they began to explode. I dived into the water and when I came up I was under a bridge with a group of friends but something was wrong. It was the late 1800's and weird clown gangs had taken over the city. We thought we were safe but this strange group spotted us and started walking over slowly. Of course, they started talking to me and when I went to open my mouth one of the clowns took out an ice pick and a huge mallet and when he was about to blast it into my skull, i woke up.
(Also I love that I ruined fluffy pillows with my fucked up dream lol)

"During the imperial period in China, same-sex desires were deemed normal and were enjoyed not only by many emperors, scholars and bureaucrats, but also by common people of all social classes. There was never a fixed or reified sexual identity linked to a certain sexual preference. Sexual fantasies during this vast historic time in China were fluid, diverse, and in constant flux. At the turn of the twentieth century, the onslaught of Western medical knowledge changed this cultural tradition and indoctrinated in society heteronormality and a pathologized and vilified vision of homosexuality."

Are there any specific imperial chinese dynasties that interest you?
Kind of: I enjoy reading about Han dynasty, Song dynasty and Qing dynasty, as these are the dynasties I grew the most accustomed with through different shows. I especially like to learn more about Han and Song different palatial administrations, as we have a lot of historical sources which speak about it, as well as the places let to women in these social circles, and I find it really amazing!
