Changyi is legit the most tragic character in The Maid alongside the protagonist's mother - not only was he mutilated, not only did he have to stand by and watch the woman he loved slowly succumb to madness, but he also died by her hand in the end? Freaking hell.

hello ! i was wondering if there's specific hanfus for winter ? i've tried finding some for mens but idk if they exists ? thank you !!

Hi, thanks for the question! Yes, there are lots of hanfu specifically for winter. There are more options for women, but options for men exist as well! (x)

During winter, ancient Chinese generally wore their usual clothing items, just with warmer/thicker materials and more layering. I have a post here on winter hanfu and accessories, and my winter wear tag has more examples and links. The hanfu resource website Newhanfu also has many informative articles in its “winter hanfu” category. Below - Ming dynasty-style winter hanfu & tiger hats (x):

In particular, Ming-style hanfu is well-suited for winter, as it tends to be thicker & provides more coverage (due to the climate being colder during the Ming). Below - 1st row: Ming-style ao, 2nd row: Ming-style dahu (left) & bijia (right) for fall/winter, all from Shuyuci/漱玉词:

One of the most popular winter hanfu items for men is the qiuyi/裘衣 (“fur clothing”), a fur-lined long coat historically worn to keep warm in winter. Below - 1) qiuyi with Tang-style yuanlingpao (x) (note: this is also the style in the first photo of this post), 2) qiuyi with Ming-style tieli (x):

As with most hanfu styles, nowadays women can wear qiuyi too, as seen below - paired w/Ming-style hanfu - from Bansheng Luoshang/半生罗裳:

Another item for men traditionally worn for warmth is the changyi/氅衣, also known as hechang/鹤氅 or dachang/大氅. This is basically a long, large-sleeve coat with parallel-collars and ties in the front. Newhanfu has an in-depth article on it here. Below - 1st row: blue winter changyi from Dongting Hanfeng/洞庭漢風, 2nd & 3rd rows: winter changyi worn w/daopao from Jingshui Tongguang/镜水桐光:

And then there’s the doupeng/斗篷 (cloak). There’s some debate on whether the doupeng can be considered hanfu depending on it’s structure, but regardless it’s extremely popular and is an ubiquitous part of the modern hanfu wardrobe (x):

For specific hanfu shops, in addition to the brands mentioned above, you can also check out my hanfu shop rec list here. Several shops on the list have options for men and women’s winter hanfu.

Hope this helps, and if anyone has more info/recs please share!

Introducing our initial six species, and first six principalis creatures!

Top is of course Tezcacoatl, a quetzalcoatl. Far left below is Zareen, a phoenix. Next to her is Adrasteia, a unicorn. The next pair is JiaHong (laying) and ChangYi (sitting), who are a pair of ruishi. Beside them is MinJun, a qilin. And last in the row is Brennus, a grim hound.

The figure to the right is a human that’s approximately 5′5″.
