Yes, it's exactly like that, even worse since I actively look for fantasy in Chinese-inspired setting, and then I wonder why I keep asking for it...
I have a soft spot for the Tang, and wrote my thesis about a modern painter that worked a lot in bringing to modern notice the Mogao caves'paintings and used to dress in Tang-style clothing, so I guess I have the advantage of you. Back then I spent more than one year living in Taipei with a Chinese family, I was the only foreigner in the area and most of the neighbours 'adopted' me, they educated my ears:).
