[Hanfu · 漢服]China Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD) Chinese Traditional Clothing Hanfu & Hairstyle Based On Kaihua Temple Mural

Ladies’ attire in the middle-late Northern Song Dynasty Period

【History Note】

Among the images of many Donors in Kaihua Temple, in addition to the female wearing a crown, there is also a kind of attire with a “knot” hairstyle and a kilt skirt.

This kind of clothing is a long outer gown that often matches with one short and one long, and waer with multiple layers, and the layers of clothing are show at the neckline.

In the murals of Kaihua Temple, there is also a design of a long gown covered with plain gauze, which makes it feel like a person is standing in the smoke. Walking and standing just like a fairy, which can also set off the transparency of the makeup.

缕金裙窣轻纱，透红莹玉真堪爱。多情更把，眼儿斜盼，眉儿敛黛。

A Tale Of Dragons And Translations

The creature referred to in Chinese as lóng and in Mongol as lū appears on the Chinese twelve-year zodiac as the year of the dragon. When the eastern zodiac tradition was brought to Iran by the Mongol conquest in the 1200s, this zodiac animal’s name was translated into Persian as nahang. Nahang was used to describe to dangerous water beasts whether they be real (crocodiles, hippos, sharks) or mythological (dragons, sea serpents, etc.)

In the 1900s the word “nahang” shifted meaning to specifically refer to cetaceans (whales, porpoises, dolphins). And that is how the Chinese year of the dragon is the Persian year of the whale!

[Hanfu · 漢服]Chinese Five Dynasties And Ten Kingdoms Period Traditional Clothing Hanfu Based On Paining <簪花仕女图/Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers>

—————-

【History Note】

The age of creation of <簪花仕女图/Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers> has been disputed among historical research scholars.

However, according to recent research and the excavation of more cultural relics from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, it has gradually been proved that this painting is more in line with the hairstyle and the clothes worn by court women during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

In particular, the towering hairstyle is very consistent with the description of noble women during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Similar female figurines were also unearthed from Tomb of the Empress of Min Kingdom (闽国) Liu Hua (Wang Yanjun’s wife) during the same period：
