Tang Prince in Round Collar Robe: 唐君圆领衫

Model: 山中竹月
Music: Tang dynasty Nostalgia 

Ornate Tang styled Yuanling Shan- or "Round Collar Robe," Yuanling Shan were worn by most male of the era, from common citizens to imperial monarchs. Some women also wore yuangling Shan as well, including servants, merchants, and when the noble women participated in polo games or other festivals that required equestrian displays.




Early Tang female and male in simple "Hu"胡 clothing that were heavily influenced by Central Asian culture. Sui and Tang dynasties derived their northern traditions from nomadic cultures and thus the genders had far greater equality than later dynasties. Women of this era were free to participate in a number of jobs in society and were allowed to inherit their families' properties on their own right. They also actively participated in the cultural and political arena as well. Both the round collar robe and the open lapel robes served as riding jackets.


Examples of elaborate embroidery and ornately embroidered collars from this era. Many cultures that were contemporaries to the Tang also used this type of elaborate clothing, from Sogdians, Tocharians, to some of the Tibetan elites- as exemplified by the Tibetan envoy Gar Tongtsen Yulsung





One of the most famous gingko tree in China is located in a district of Xi'an (in ancient times the capital of Tang dynasty called Chang'An) the tall 1,400 year old gingko tree, which turns golden every year was traditionally said to have been planted by the Taizong emperor (598-649) himself.

She has some masculinity and is suitable for dressing up as the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Are Song dynasty Emperors effeminate? Or are you making fun of the Song dynasty Emperors because of their failures in wars?

The fashion is very Persian like. Were the Sogdians that influential when it came to Chinese fashions during the Tang Dynasty.

"Persianate" culture in Asia is like "Italianate" culture in Europe, ... both Persians and Italians may have been dominated and conquered by Arabs/Turks and Germanic peoples but they conquered their conquerors through culture. The Germanic Franks adopted the Latin language to produce French and converted to Rome, while Islamic culture is basically Persian culture with Turkic lords practicing Persian poetry and art, Persianate culture would dominate from the Ottomans to the Mughals right up the 19th century.

What is surprising is the extent of Persian influence on China, you would think the Chinese would not be susceptible to Persian influence like the Arabs and Turks.

That is assuming China would have a monolithic attitude toward the Persians. Which, on the account of the divided China of the Northern dynasties of East and West Wei and then the Northern Qi and Zhou meant that they really didn't have a unified attitude nor policy. Most of the time through trade, "Hu" culture are simply ported to northern China in large volume.

By the time Sui unified north and south China both sides had a cultural shock with each other, Southern fashion and rituals became the rage in the north after Emperor Wen brought the defeated southern court as guests north. And conversely southern China were astounded by the Hu cultures of the north. During the Sui dynasty Chang An and northern China had a very large Persian~ well, Iranian community there. And this persisted well on to the Tang.
