I have been wanting to take the work of a group of Chinese traditional dress all the time. The Chinese traditional dress
that I understand is Han-clothes,these are Chinese clothes,
culture clothes.chinese people call them Han-clothes.

Han-clothes has a long history, which can be tracked back to
high antiquity and was widely spreaded in China history.
I would like to how its performance, not just models, costumes, props, is more a manifestation of history and culture.

Perhaps this is only a beginning for me, I would also like to keep shooting it.

As a famous historical city, there are a lot of ancient buildings in Beijing. There is the Great Wall which you know very well, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, but also a lot of royal gardens are distributed in Beijing. These classical gardens are mostly emperor and their relative in China's history's houses, very big, very luxurious, very beautiful too.

How to display these beautiful classical gardens? I have to consider this question. If a beautiful scene picture is still not enough, People can experience more the information of history and culture is my purpose. So, I have asked a model to cooperate together with me, finishes this group of works together.

Here is a group of Chinese Ming Dynasty's clothing (History of Ming Dynasty in China: AD 1368 - AD 1644),I conceive and stem from a novel while shooting this group of pictures.


There is a very famous novel in China, Its name is Dream of the Red Chamber,the author is Chinese writer Cao Xueqin in Qing Dynasty. This is a sadly beautiful Chinese love novel, it is just like Romeo and Juliet of China edition.


Thank the model for understanding my idea, and well show personages' personality.
