ziseviolet:hanfugallery:chinese hanfu mixed with xiyu西域 style by 小馒头嘛是马圆圆 The Western Regions or Xiyu (西域) was a historical name specified in the Chinese chronicles between the 3rd century BC to the 8th century AD that referred to the regions west of Yumen Pass, most often Central Asia or sometimes more specifically the easternmost portion of it (e.g. Altishahr or the Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang), though it was sometimes used more generally to refer to other regions to the west of China as well, such as the Indian subcontinent (as in the novel Journey to the West). Xiyu/西域-style hanfu has been gaining some popularity recently (note: it’s a modern hanfu aesthetic, not based on historical hanfu). -- source link
