Good to see that India is still persistent about its traditional culture.

What is the reason for this type of fashion/hair? It seems to be unique for China or at least Mongoloid people. I think that I recall seeing a similar type of hair among Native Americans but I might be wrong here.

It is not a fashion hair style in China, but manchu rulers forced chinese do this, if we do not, we will be killed in Qing Dynasty.

The Middle East and the Subcontinent still keep much of their original clothing.

I don't think this is exclusively Shanghai, it could be Beijing as well.

LOL you telling me your ancestor was some Wu emperor?

Ng is cantonese spelling and we pronounce it as ng or mmm[/quotelear

Learn to read please. I said descendants of kingdoms, not kings. Oh emperor is only reserved for rulers of empires. Kings are rulers of feudal lands. There is no such thing as Wu emperor...

The post was meant as a joke. Plus my family name has no record of kings or emperors. But if you think you can vilify me with my joke post, be my guest.

Sorry to digress but I really have to respond to personal attacks by some Chinese members here, I believe most are already ignored by me. Personal attack is such despicable behavior.

The Koreans claim that they invented the rocket, yet they still need the Russian help.

This is what I really like about India. You can be poor but proud.

It may join Japan, China in the sense cultural clothing disappears as they get more wealthier.

Arabs are the most proud. Go to any Gulf airport, they have all the new phones, etc, but still wear their own attire. And gives no shit about what anyone thinks.

I think India can retain its unique culture. Even several hundreds of years of British colonial rule cannot abolish native culture, nobody can! But India should also feel lucky that Britain is not barbarians like Manchu that would force you to change hairstyle and clothing.

Maybe, definitely will exist in weddings, etc. Cause there isnt any other way to do it.

That's so awesome, man. Yes, indeed, China has a very long history and many styles or regalia.

Is there anything in Chinese clothing that is similar to Japanese Kimono ?

yes, we have, in face, in ancient time, japan learnt all from China, like building, politic system, chinese characters, and costume. Kimono is origined from Chinese Hanfu, from Wu region, now this region is Suzhou, in Jiangsu Province, so Kimono is also called Wufu, means from Wu region.

Japanese Geisha was also origined from China, Tang Dynasty. here is the dance of ancient china Tang Dynasty , which evolved in to geisha in japan later
