actually, no. its not a Kimono. Heian era Kimono designs weren't even close to diverging from the Chinese originals.Originally Posted by Laviathan
Saw Da Han Tianzi with Huang Xiaoming, haven't saw this one though.
Read it, lousy Pinyin. It's ZhOU Dynasty, not ZhAO Dynasty.
No sh!t? Being a Sinologist myself and having studied Chinese history at Peking University, I guess I don't need you to lecture me on the Chinese origins of the kimono.
During the Three Kingdoms Period, the Queen of the Yamato Kingdom sent envoys to the Kingdom of Wei. Emperor Cao Pi received the emissaries and gave them gifts in return, including precious swords. This was the first recorded contact between China and Japan in history. To say that the Yamato Kingdom was in close contact with the Kingdom of Wu is a gross simplification and a wild claim. There's no historical evidence whatsoever.
Sigh, the crew of Han Wu Da Di just took a Japanese heian style kimono, changed it a bit, and called it a Han era dress. You're not really thinking they used an ancient Han dynasty garment, are you?
Never mind...
the only thing that would indicate its uniquely a Kimono (based on stereotypes, not facts) is the wide sash
which is MISCONCEPTION. theres this strange idea that Chinese never used large sashes to tie Han Fu and preferred belts to the point where sashes were never used. sashes were quite popular in the eastern Zhou dynasty, Qin and Han. their use only declined in the eastern han dynasty but quickly made a comback during the age of fragmentation
as you can see from this example

OK OK, I did sounded like a jerk. Sorry. But I got a little offended by YangLiCheng's tone (which was quite patronizing IMO), that's all. We must "educate ourselves first" before replying to his topic? I might be stupid but come on, who is being pretentious here?
I don't know you, and I honestly couldn't care less about whether or not you're impressed. Also, a lot of people go to Beida and Tsinghua nowadays, nothing special. But if you tell me out right to educate myself first, then I guess I am entitled to point out which university I attended and what I studied. Self proclaimed Sinologist? Oh, never mind...
Sorry that I sounded like a jerk, my sincere apologies. I will refrain from further posting on the subject of Han Fu, 'cause obviously I am not "educated enough"... *sarcasm*
Bye and have fun.
