Many questions!!!
I have recently fallen in love with Tang Dynasty clothing, especially the high Tang qixiong ruqun style but I have several questions.
how do you pronounce the following terms? I have found very few videos of people saying them. -Qixiong -Ruqun -Daxiushan -Hezi -Pibo -Banbi
Is it appropriate for me, a strictly white person with no Chinese link, to participate? So long as I do it with as much research as I can find and wear them as properly as I can manage
Going off question 2, is it ok to make my own? My main hobby is historical costuming, and I have largely focused on cultures that I descend from, but I really want to branch out into others. There are so many beautiful things in human history I've never even approached creating! Is it ok to make these myself, or would it be more appropriate/respectful to purchase from a Chinese creator?
I would really appreciate any/all opinions!
