what about the han in tibet? what's so spiritual about that? or about couture fashion anyway, here co-opting ancient chinese clothing styles to market a line of impossibly expensive garments affordable only to the ridiculously rich, purporting to be a spiritual thing, seems like bunk to me. pretty stuff, but there are ugly unspoken realities just under the surface of this story
"what about the han in tibet?" you should also ask about the many tibetans populating various provinces of China.If you have a gripe about expensive couture, take your complaints to the western designer fashion houses. There's nothing wrong with promoting traditional Chinese clothing unless you also have gripes about Japanese and kimonos and various ethnic garb.
i don't know anything about tibetans living in other parts of china. you're right, i ought to look into it, learn if they are recognised there as tibetans, treated fairly as such, valued as a community,or if they are discriminated against or pressured to assimilate and deny their own distinct identity. i have no gripe with traditionally inspired garb per se, the clothing in this video is certainly beautiful: my complaint does indeed lodge squarely with the fashion houses of the fabulously rich.
one of the most popular singers in China is a Tibetan named Han Hong who sang at the Beijing Olympics and was a featured performer at the Beijing Paralympics ceremonies. A Tibetan man was voted most popular performer in a Chinese talent show. Tibetans and other ethic groups usually dress in their native
garb. The Han couture featured here is a lot less expensive than the Diors, Armanis, etc. and relatively inexpensive if manufactured in China.
i see. tibetan culture is respected and appreciated in china, tibetan entertainers are adored by the chinese people, none have ever been tortured or killed or exiled for their spiritual beliefs nor is anyone in tibet today oppressed or living in fear of persecution... and i'm a monkey's uncle!
It's spiritual if the purpose is to bring back the values of ancient Chinese culture, which have been so destroyed in the later period, esp. during the Cultural Revolution by the communists. The values I talk about are things such as philosophy (e.g. emphasis on harmony, virtue, etc.) It is the lack and lost of these values that contribute to the "ugly realities" you talk about.
I doubt if these clothes are made exclusive for the rich since they are not made of gold, nor for everyday wear.
you really think the purpose of couture is to bring back spiritual values? the purpose of couture is to comfortably line the pockets of those who design party dresses for the ridiculously rich. couture dresses are worn once, then they're out of style, and new outfits must be purchased for the next gala event. the traditional silks and brocades depicted here are far beyond the means of most working people, even if made by slaves! the philosophy of couture is "money: if you've got it, flaunt it !"
I was not talking about this show. I was talking about the general idea of reviving the ancient costume as opposed to just recognizing the Qi Pao as the only cultural dresses. When those Tang poems can survive to these days, why can't the costume?

我有一個好主意。我們可以復興漢，唐，明皇帝（文化）。在原本的首都重建宮殿。讓這些 "文化皇帝" 負責營理我們的傳統文化和旅遊業. 今天我們仍可以找到 刘邦, 李世民, 朱元璋等后人. 請支持.

you're a monkey's uncle if you can't empathize with the serfs who suffered under the deposed Tibetan theocracy.

The people who violate human rights are only physically han. They are empty souls who are not representative of traditional Chinese values.
