GongDeng 宫灯 palace lanterns, also known as court lanterns, are a distinctive type of traditional Chinese lantern and a hallmark of Chinese craftsmanship.
As the name suggests, palace lanterns were initially used in the imperial palace. They are typically made with a delicate wooden frame, adorned with silk gauze or glass, and painted with various decorative patterns. These lanterns are celebrated for their elegance and regal courtly style. Used primarily within the court.
The lanterns in this post are from the Qing Dynasty and are made out of Zitan (red sandalwood)
Xiao XiChen and Song Lan’s entire relationship was basically just the wanting to live together and start a family and Xiao XiChen would give up his own eyes to Song Lan and Song Lan wondered around for YEARS trying to find him and apologize. Likes it’s so domestically gay?
OKAY SO LEMME SHARE HOW FCKN CANON SONGXIAO IS IN THE NOVEL:
“””most intimate friend””” SUUUUUURE so that’s how we call engaged gays there, huh AND HELL YES TO A HAPPY FIXIT FOR THE YI CITY CREW
Can you imagine being Pei Ming, God of Love, able to see when people love each other, able to see their emotions flowing between them, and having to watch Feng Xin and Mu Qing being the biggest clowns and making a ruckus across the Heaven with their fights while insisting that they don’t like each other?? I can’t decide if he’d just be wildly entertained or wanting to tear his hair out in frustration and despair.
«Thank you for giving me a family»

(Re: This post)
My lacquer allergy is getting better, the blisters have calmed down but some of the popped ones have left me with areas where the skin has peeled. They've scabbed over now, and I think it's in the heeling phase so once the new skin grows I'll be OK (this time, lol).
Unfortunately, since it's all around my wrists the scabs are making it difficult for my to rotate my wrists in any direction. I can barely hold chopsticks, use my toothbrush, pull my clothes on, etc. Luckily I can still practice playing the Guqin so my teacher is having me take it easy on the making side, and focusing more on the playing.
In the meantime, a few Hanfu books I ordered arrived, so I'll post some recommendations until I can hold my stylus pen again :D
This book covers the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties, it also includes a chapter on Peking Opera costumes and a section on clothing for different holidays/seasonal days like winter solstice.
It includes clothing for casual occasions, special events, for men and women. Each outfit is drawn out, with each garment name labelled. It also details information on hairstyles, hair accessories, makeup, traditional colour palettes, fabric patterns, etc.
This book isn't text-heavy, relying mostly on pictures to relay information. The layout is fairly simple, so if you're just starting to dig into Hanfu history I think this is a good book to use.
An extra little perk is the side of the book is printed with 2 famous historical paintings, a very lovely touch :)
some soulmates have the red string tied around their wrists or fingers, a long thread that no matter where they are keeps them connected...
fengqing have it super short and tied around their ankles which makes their relationship a fucking three legged race
I need someone to estimate the net casualties of junmei's divorce. It's in the millions for sure, the question is just how many.
