Blue Moon Sheep 月蓝双羊 Northern Jin Dynasty Hanfu

Experience the vibrant world of the Northern Jin Dynasty! 

Colors once lost within faded artifacts are brought back to life in our new eclectically gorgeous Blue Moon Sheep set.

Featuring a famous textile artifact from Xinjiang, Northwestern China of two horned sheep facing one another.

Legend has it that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420 - 589 A.D.), the mythical birds and beasts of Xinjiang's Yunlan Mountains were replaced by other animals, such as lions, sheep, and camels for reasons unknown.

Set comes with layered Yaolan Ru 腰襕襦 "wide waist shirts" from the Jin Dynasty & Poqun 破裙 "broken skirt".

It's not broken! It refers to the many strips of fabric sewn together to create the iconic stripes. 

Shirt, skirt, and patterns are all based on textile artifacts ranging from 351 A.D. to 420 A.D. (Please see last slides for artifact references)

Full 3 piece set comes with:

• Blue Moon Sheep patterned inner shirt - 20% cotton, 80% polyester
• Outer Sheer jacket - 80% tencel, 20% polyester 
• Poqun "Broken" Skirt - 96% polyester, 4% spandex
• *Optional* One Size imitation merino wool base shirt - 96% polyester, 4% spandex

Untuck the shirts for a more relaxed look! Or tuck the shirts for a more compact silhouette, better for moving about.
