Sơn Tinh (山精) and Thuỷ Tinh (水精) are two mythical Vietnamese deities who are still worshipped to this day, and play very important roles in Vietnamese mythology. Modern depictions of them are varied, including depictions of them as land and sea monsters.

Cultural Fashion: The Nomads Pt. 2

AKA “The Secret Tunnel Hippies”. I did not expect one-off joke characters to have such interesting cultural origins behind their designs, but Avatar always finds a way to hit me with wonderfully unexpected cultural details.

Now on to Chong’s equally-as-spacey wife, Lily! The first thing that struck me about her design is the turban-like head wrap she wears. Although there was an event in Chinese history known in English as the “Red Turban Rebellion”, turbans have never been a staple of Han Chinese fashion, especially not for women.

However, there is an ethnic group originally from China that is known for wearing dark head wraps that resemble turbans: Hmong Daw or White Hmong. Specifically the Hmong Daw from Xieng Khouang, Laos. Once I realized where Lily’s “turban” came from, the rest of her outfit suddenly made sense. The predominantly black color scheme always seemed out of place for such a carefree and easygoing character, but it makes sense if it’s inspired by the look of traditional Hmong Daw clothing.

Note the predominantly black shirt with colorful trim, the elbow-length sleeves, the waist-high sash, the bell-shaped skirt, the flats, and the head wrap. Pretty much the only major accessories that Lily is missing are the apron and the jewelry.

One can’t help but notice that both Chong and Lily’s design influences are from cultures/ethnic groups that have been pushed out of of their ancestral homelands by Chinese expansion.

could u make like a book about this ??

A few people have suggested this to me in the past, but I was always hesitant because my posts generally require me to use official screencaps and art from the show to get my point across. However, after looking into fair use, it seems like I'm pretty well covered as my work is quite transformative of the original copyrighted material.

Anyways, I wouldn't be opposed to releasing an ATLAculture book or even a series of books. I'd even be willing to self-publish some physical copies with professional-level graphic design and illustrations if there were a demand for it.

If anyone out there is interested in purchasing an ATLAculture e-book or physical book, please reblog this post to let me know! In particular, tell me what content you would want to see in an ATLAculture book. Would you want one book per nation? Or would you want a book focusing on one of the major tags?

Cultural Fashion

Cultural Cuisine

Cultural Weapons

Cultural Architecture

Cultural Practices

Chinese History and...

Or would you prefer a "Best of..." collection with my most popular posts? And of course, I would definitely throw in 3 to 5 never-before-seen, bonus entries into any ATLAculture book I sell.

If there's any serious interest in some published ATLAculture content, I'll even create a Kickstarter for the project. ^_^
