Flowing asthetic in chinese xianxia and wuxia culture(novels, movies, dramas)
"上善若水" (Shàng shàn ruò shuǐ) is a profound concept from ancient Chinese philosophy, particularly from the text Dao De Jing (道德经) by Laozi. It translates to "The highest virtue is like water. " The idea is that water embodies the ideal qualities of humility, flexibility, and adaptability. Water flows effortlessly, nourishes everything without seeking recognition, and overcomes obstacles by yielding and finding its way around them. This concept reflects the Daoist ideal of living in harmony with nature and embracing a gentle, flowing approach to life.
In ancient Chinese culture, this philosophy deeply influenced not only thought and behavior but also art, literature, and even fashion. In the context of costume design for ancient Chinese fantasy (仙侠 Xiānxiá) and martial arts (武侠 Wǔxiá) genres, the concept of "上善若水" is often reflected in the flowing, elegant designs of the clothing. Here’s how:
Fluid Silhouettes: The hanfu-based costume often feature long, loose robes with wide sleeves and soft, draping fabrics that move gracefully with the wearer. This mimics the natural flow of water, creating a sense of harmony and elegance. When a character moves or when the wind blows, the fabric ripples and sways, enhancing their ethereal, almost otherworldly presence.
Symbolism of Adaptability: Just as water adapts to its surroundings, the flowing garments symbolize the characters' ability to navigate challenges with grace and flexibility. In Xiānxiá and Wǔxiá stories, protagonists often embody these virtues, and their clothing visually reinforces their inner qualities.
Connection to Nature: The soft, natural lines of the costumes reflect the Daoist reverence for nature. Characters in these genres are often depicted as being in tune with the natural world, and their attire, light, airy, and fluid—echoes this connection.
Aesthetic Appeal: The flowing fabrics not only carry philosophical meaning but also create stunning visual effects. When characters fight, fly, or simply walk through a scene, their garments move like water, adding drama and beauty to the storytelling. This is especially iconic in scenes where characters are depicted in mid-air or in slow motion, with their robes billowing in the wind.
The concept of "上善若水" (Shàng shàn ruò shuǐ) has left a lasting mark on the design of ancient Chinese costumes, particularly in Xiānxiá and Wǔxiá genres. The flowing, water-like quality of the clothing not only looks beautiful but also carries deep symbolic meaning, reflecting the ideals of harmony, adaptability, and grace. When the wind blows, these garments come alive, creating a mesmerizing visual that captures the essence of this ancient philosophy.
My husband tells me I was sleep talking last night.
Apparently I mumbled a bit and then said, clear as day, "Why am I carrying the frog when it can fly?"
Then, a few seconds later, "Oh. He wants to go up to the castle."
I wish I could tell him what was going on, but I don't remember. Oh well, we will never know.
Me, to the outsized winged frog in my hands: "Where to, buddy?"
Frog: "Crrrroaakk."
Me: "Ah, the castle. Excellent choice!"

It appears if you have 18+ or mdni in your blog's header bio you are now flagged. I'm seeing a bunch of my mutuals now being flagged and this is the common thread. In fact, I'll add a community label to this post just to not get caught in the snare.
It has something to do with android and the google play store
What? How? Seriously, what is happening?
I couldn’t get the reblog to work. Tumblr being tumblr.
dustdeepsea asked: oops I think one of these has been asked so changing my questions to:
🦜 and 🍄<3
Thanks for asking, my pedigree chum! 🥰
🦜 Which artists inspire you?
I’m going to talk about illustrators who inspire me now, as I was just chatting to Luvwich about who got me going when I was a teen.
I am enchanted by the motion and use of colour in these artworks
An iconic MtG illustrator. I often look at him for ideas for composition!
The detail, versatility of subject and the personality of her characters are so inspiring.
The motion and quality of character design is stunning.
These are a few of my favourites!
🍄 What is something you should have focused on more when you first started, and now pay more attention to?
A lot of low- and mid- experience artists, when giving feedback to beginner artists, will focus strongly on anatomy. After seeing a lot of this, I skipped quickly to trying to study and focus on anatomical accuracy when I should have spent more time on gesture.
To compare this to linguistics, this is like practising only grammar and avoiding attempting to use language to comminicate. A good foundation of gesture drawing also makes it easier to tackle anatomy later, so I really beefed it!
I think you can see this in my work even now, where there’s rarely a sense of motion (and I tend to choose subjects that mean I don’t need to try). I really ought to sketch more but I feel the outcome is so weak compared to what I am capable of…

Take care of yourself 💕

Idk man, reblogs are dead, no one interacts with anything, and now visibility on posts is cut in half with all these changes? Like...feeling kind of bummed about posting anything anymore.
I’ve noticed a sudden wave of sensitive content labels getting added to stuff… A lot of it isn’t even remotely NSFW. Pretty shite if you ask me
