  1. “In the five-phase cosmology codified during the Han dynasty, yellow corresponded to tu (earth, the central element, the colour of the loess plateau where Chinese civilisation had taken root).

    From there it was only a short step to claiming the colour for whichever family currently held the Mandate of Heaven.

    The Sui and Tang courts established yellow as the imperial colour in the seventh century…”

  6. Fun fact: once you get past the origin stories in Journey To The West, one of the first things that happen is that someone tries to steal Xuanzang's kasaya. Here the opposite happens - they're given one. How the group gains knowledge and how they pick up clothes for their roles work in parallell.

  10. There's been so few embroideries in this production I'm convinced the director is allergic to them.
    OTH that brocade! *chef's kiss* I'd kill* for something like that!

  14. Not many embroideries in this drama, but some fantastic prints. Like this cloud pattern on Banxia's shawl. The crisp lines and full hue makes me suspect it's stenciled or block-printed, not run through a fabric printer. The latter usually gives the print a 'dusty' look, though with the resources Heng Dian World Studios has I wouldn't be surprised if they have superior machines. Anyway, block-printing would be totally correct for Tang fashion

  18. To be fair to this drama; while it has few embroideries it has some really awesome prints. In my SCA days I'd have killed for fabric patterned like the backing on that blue coat. And to make past me even more jealous; judging from RedNote at least some of the materials used are over the shelf fabric in China.

  22. Love Banxia's outfit here! It's skews more to ultramarine on the screen than in my pic, but both versions are awesome. Blue is one of those colours that works almost every time, it's close to cheating to use it. And that gradient on her skirt and shawl makes it all come together. The one thing I miss is embroideries - not that they're needed, it's just been very few of them in this drama. I guess they put most of their budget on VFX.

  31. That's a _very_ interesting hat! Given how hard costuming are leaning into Tang dynasty fashion, I wouldn't put it past a designer finding the original in a Tang manuscript and go "That one's fun! Let's use it on a character!" And then they just waited for the moment - or the hat - to drop.

  35. And to continue the theme of 'Martha just doesn't grok romance'. Despite literal romantic violins in the background, my only thought here is
    "Excellent! It's possible to see how his clothes are constructed!"*

    (*His undergarment is made of a rather losely woven cotton fabric - though it could be linnen or synthetic. The fabric is also crinkled before it's sewn, which doesn't bode well for his BO.)

  39. Another example of 'the more bonkers the theme, the more grounded the details'. I can't say how accurate that purse is for China, but it could have been lifted straight from a painting by Albertus Pictor (Swedish 15thC church painter) or earlier sources. It used to be called cut-purse, since it was easy for pickpockets to cut its strings and run off. This version is fastened with locked metal hoops, though, so I don't think Xuanjue worries.

  43. "A medical formation" - looks very much like Xuanjue pours a salt ring around the house. Not wrong - it works on autonomous cars after all - and it's interesting to see it in a Chinese context. I associate the method with the Anglophone sphere. Old Swedish methods involved bolting tokens to things, or keeping steel or silver for protection.

    The construction of his shoes is also interesting - they're really made to stay on.

  51. It's interesting to note that while Tang Dynasty Occult Mysteries was a Scooby Doo type of drama - and thus pretty grounded - and The Demon Hunter's Romance is a Sabrina* type drama - and even so fairly bonkers - it's the _latter_ that has costuming on a high level of historical correctness for the Tang dynasty.

  55. I suddenly regret the sombrero point a few toots back*. To be clear, even if production has taken several creative liberties with this hanfu that hat _is_ of a traditional Chinese model. It's basically a round shade with a hole at the top for the wearer's topknot. That point at the top is the character's hair.
