What's the difference between 大袖衫 and 褙子？

In most generic sense in the modern times, 大袖衫 is a Tang-style unlined (衫) outer jacket with wide sleeves (大袖). Other characteristics includes collar that runs to the bottom, no ties (most of the time), long length (mid-calf or longer) and it used to have no side vents in the early days, but I think now they do.

On the other hand, 褙子 refers to a Song-style parallel-collared outer jacket, which can be lined or unlined. Technically,  褙子 has be have decorative collar and stuff, and should be long (mid-calf or longer), as it is a formal wear, but people may used it interchangeably with any parallel collar with full collar that runs all way down, with side vents. The sleeves of  褙子 are generally narrow, straight or slightly flared.

me as a writer: Oh no I can’t write that, somebody else already has

me as a reader: hell yes give me all the fics about this one scenario. The more the merrier

[obsessivewriter]

This one is so hard to accept. Reblogging to knock that into my brain.

[primarybufferpanel]

Me as a writer: I feel like I’m repeating myself, I’ve already used that theme, I’ve already written that kink, that other character uses that speech pattern so this one in another fandom can’t, I feel like I’m writing predictable things, is this different enough from that other thing I wrote, are people filling out bingo cards by my work? :sobbing:

Me as a reader: oh hell yeah this hit the spot exactly, I hope this writer has written 20 more just like it

one time su she brought lwj's car into accident when lwj was in the middle of tight schedule, especially when he had to arrive at an important meeting asap. so reluctantly he gave a chance to try ride hailing app as it was the fastest choice available, but never in his 30 years of life he rode a motorcycle before, so he was extremely worried. moreover, it didn't help at all when he saw the man who would be his driver. he looked—strikingly handsome—admittedly lwj's braincell went blank for a milisecond especially when he took off his helmet, whipped his hair and then threw a sunny smile—but he also looked... somewhat dangerous. lwj didn't know what to feel.

so he took a screenshot of his driver's profile as a precaution (absolutely not bcs of his charming profile picture, of course), then he braved himself to greet the bewitching driver.

at first it was a quite chill ride with wwx constantly trying to make a conversation with lwj, but as soon as lwj said to go a little bit faster, wwx drove super fast at hermes speed lwj had to pray he could still make it past age 30. he also unconsciously gripped his driver's shoulder a bit tighter, so wwx said lwj could just hug his waist if he wanted to. lwj didn't dare—he felt awkward and scared shitless.

finally arriving at the destination 10 minutes ahead of the appointed schedule—thanks to wwx's wicked speed, lwj thanked wwx and then gave him 4 stars and $10 tips.

fast forward to a month later lwj got his car fixed but he kept using ride hailing app bcs wwx always lingers around his office for god knows what reason.

Some basic terminology for traditional chinese clothing I made for a twitter poll. 

Most of them are called hanfu 汉服, but the qipao and a lot of other traditional chinese clothing are not necessarily called hanfu, depending on the chinese ethnic origin and era. Hanfu is just clothes from the Han ethnic group and is most widespread. References from @ziseviolet used. 

A lot of costume designs have been influenced by hanfu (eg tolkien elven clothing and star wars padme) so I thot it’d be nice to know some og terms. Hope it might help some of you.

I have seen pictures of hanfu where there is are strings tied around the sleeves of the Yishang (correct me if this is the wrong term). I was wondering if the strings have a particular name and what the purpose of this is. Thanks in advance! =)

Hi, thanks for the question! (Image Via)

The strings tied around the sleeves of the Yishang in the photo above are called Bangshoudai/绑手带 (hand wraps). They’re basically a simplified form of the Huwan/护腕 (wrist guards) seen in the photo below (Image Via):

These forms of accessories were commonly worn in ancient China during strenuous physical activity, such as manual labor and combat/sports (hand-to-hand combat, sword-fighting, archery, etc). Their purpose was two-fold: 1) bind up the sleeves for convenience, and 2) protect the wearer’s hands and arms. 

Here are two more examples of Bangshoudai & Huwan worn with Shuhe (Via):

Hope this helps!
