Hello, I have also been working on an early Ming persona so that I can eventually fight heavy rapier/cut and thrust in the sca using what I know of chinese jian fighting. I found this website awhile back. It is just pictures of people wearing Hanfu, but it is a good source for Ideas, and the picture...
