    What lovely kimono...

    How about Han bikini instead?

    this is one weird thread

    All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
    Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

    The first lady is really wearing a kimono. The others wear Chinese costumes.
    The Mountaintop no height eschews;
    The Sea eschews no deep.
    And the Duke of Zhou spat out his meal
    An Empire's trust to keep.

    its not a kimono

    its a Han era aristocrat Han Fu

    the actress wearing it is Yang Tong Shu and its for the TV drama Han Wu Da Di (based on the life of Emperor Han Wu Di)

    where the hell do you think kimonos come from? did you even read the first link (history of Chinese costumes)

    kimono in Kanji is 吳服, Wu refers to the three kingdoms era Wu kingdom which the Yamato kingdom in Japan was in close contact with

    Saw Da Han Tianzi with Huang Xiaoming, haven't saw this one though.

    Read it, lousy Pinyin. It's ZhOU Dynasty, not ZhAO Dynasty.

    kimono in Kanji is 吳服, Wu refers to the three kingdoms era Wu kingdom which the Yamato kingdom in Japan was in close contact with
    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.

    its not a kimono

    its a Han era aristocrat Han Fu
    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...

    Laviathan: I'm no expert but I asked my girlfriend (Japanese) whether she was wearing Chinese or Japanese clothing and she said old Chinese and looked at me like I was nuts.

    Do you have a chip on your shoulder about the Japanese and the fact that many of their cultural artefacts come from China, YangLiCheng?

    Nice pics btw.

Chinese people learn about the Tang and Song dynasties and look down their noses at the Japanese. But its Japan that had the last laugh in Nanking. And then laughed their way to the first world, while China gunned down her cultural heritage in the name of communism.

    Once the power shift happens and China takes over, they will probably put the Japanese on Native reserves and view Japanese culture with quaint interest. In the mean time, there's a chip on the collective Chinese shoulder.


    my humble and uneducated opinion on Chinese inferiority complex.

    turning a kimono thread into a political debate reminds me of the fat annoying kids in kindergarden arguing over candy. just saying

    But that's just it mate: as YangLiCheng has pointed out very pointedly - they aren't kimono! So you're about to get in trouble there!

    In fact, this is the third thread he's started with a very firm statement that he is talking about Chinese culture, NOT Japanese, which is fair enough, but I ain't gonna walk on eggshells!

    That's why I want to know the reasons for his attitude. Not debating anything, just asking him, friendly like!

    Hey Mat, what's up? I'm just trying to survive the heat over here.

    Actually I was gonna write Han Fu but it didn't have the same stingy feeling to it.
    I understand what your getting at having read YangLiChengs other threads.. I liked his chinese archery thread though, I used to hunt trees as a kid.

    you are pretentious and stupid. Do you think you are a real expert? Are you so smart that when someone tries to tell you something you are offended. You are pretentious and stupid.
    Bless you
