Hi there, I am wondering what the difference between pifeng and daxiushan is please? structurally it looks so similar? And what fabric is usually used to make pifeng? Thank yoU!

Hi,

Thanks for the questions.

The most visible difference between pifeng and daxiushan is the collar. Pifeng have a half-collar (only reaching somewhere around the bottom of the chest) while daxiushan have a full-collar (as long as the clothing).

Pifeng are usually fasten with metallic buttons while daxiushan usually worn without any fastening (or with a pair of ties made with the same fabric as the main body of daxiushan).

Pifeng goes with other Ming-style pieces while Daxiushan goes with Tang-style pieces.

Pifeng usually are made with stiffer fabric than daxiushan to have a more structured shape. (I did see pifeng made with translucent and soft fabric, but that was eight years ago.) The choice of fabric depends on the weather. In the winter there are pifeng made with wool and some even comes with down lining, while in the summer there are silk pifeng.

Pifeng is strictly casual wear. Daxiushan is generally casual, but it could be styled into something more formal.

There also are Song-style daxiushan, which the back of the clothing is usually longer than the front. It was an inheritance from late-Tang/post-Tang style daxiushan, which also styled in this way. (The drawing below is part of a hanging scroll of a bodhisattva (Avalokiteśvara or Kṣitigarbha) leading an elegant lady 晚唐五代引路菩萨绢画 excavated from Dunhuang no. 98 敦煌藏经洞 98窟 . I saw it in the British Museum but I could not find it in the online collection).

Song-style daxiushan could be styled into formal wear.

伫倚危楼风细细。望极春愁，黯黯生天际。草色烟光残照里。无言谁会凭阑意。拟把疏狂图一醉。对酒当歌，强乐还无味。衣带渐宽终不悔。为伊消得人憔悴。

Hi! Re: historical hairstyles, do you know anyone who does tutorials on how to replicate these hairstyles? On wigs, on real hair - whatever. My hair is to mid-thigh and probably long enough XD

Hi, thanks for the question!

To start with, I have a hair tutorial tag for all of my hair tutorial content, so please check it out if you haven’t already!

Also, @fouryearsofshades has a hanfu hairstyle tutorial masterpost here. The links are in Chinese, though.

Next, there are lots of traditional Chinese hairstyle tutorials on Youtube, although they’re mostly in Chinese. Here are some of my recommendations:

1. Five Thousand Years - This channel is entirely in English, and has a primer on creating hairstyles using hairpieces (below), as well as reviews of volumizing hair inserts here & here:

youtube

2. 一千只大日日 - This channel has many detailed hairstyle tutorials. All of her looks are lovely! For example, below is a tutorial of my favorite hairstyle, with two side locks (uses 2 hair inserts & 1 hairpiece):

youtube

And here’s a video that demonstrates how to create the ethereal Fei Xian Ji/飞仙髻 (Flying Immortal Ji) (uses 4 hairpieces):

youtube

3. 胖仙女の闵闵 - This channel has lots of videos on hanfu, hairstyles, and accessories. For example, below is a hair tutorial for a simple yet elegant updo (no hair inserts/hairpieces):

youtube

4. 雁鸿Aimee- This channel focuses on how to create and wear Chinese hair ornaments, but it also has tutorials on hairstyles and makeup. Below is a tutorial for an early Tang dynasty hairstyle (no hair inserts/hairpieces):

youtube

Hope this helps, and have fun! ^^

Hi! Do you happen to know if there's any tutorial on how to wear Hanfu? Thx!

Hi, thanks for the question! (image via)

If you can read Chinese, @fouryearsofshades has a comprehensive Hanfu Dressing and Storing Tutorials Masterlist that I recommend.

I also have several posts on how to wear Hanfu on my blog, which I’ve organized by Hanfu style below. To supplement, I’ve included English-language hanfu-dressing video tutorials by Ally from the Youtube channel Five Thousand Years.��Ally’s videos are super informative, so I highly recommend anyone who’s interested in learning more about Hanfu to check them out!:
