⚠️ Honest note — cultural accuracy & limits / 关于文化准确性的诚实说明

EN — please read before using as reference. This LoRA is an artistic impression, not a historically faithful reproduction. Do not treat its images as a reference for authentic Ming dress.

• The pattern it renders is NOT a true 飞鱼 (feiyu) motif. The genuine Ming "flying-fish" insignia is a bestowed-rank (赐服) auspicious beast — a dragon head + forked fish-tail + fins/wings — it is neither a literal fish nor the emperor's five-clawed dragon, and it sits in its own tier in the 蟒(mang) → 飞鱼(feiyu) → 斗牛(douniu) hierarchy. FLUX's base model has no prior for this motif, so the LoRA approximates it with a generic stylized Chinese dragon-and-cloud brocade. It evokes feiyufu; it does not reproduce it.

• Dragon anatomy is stylized; claw count is not controlled. Garment cut defaults to a cross-collar tieli; yesa (flat 马面 panel + side flaps) and round-collar robes summon only weakly.

• This is the inherent difficulty of teaching Ming-Chinese cultural symbols to a Western-trained base model — captions alone can't fix it. For strict fidelity, add ControlNet/reference or use a Chinese base model.

中文 —— 作为创作者我必须讲清楚。 这颗 LoRA 是艺术演绎,不是历史还原,请不要拿它的出图当明代服饰考据参考。

• 它画的不是真正的"飞鱼纹"。 真实的明代飞鱼是一种赐服等级的瑞兽纹:龙头、分叉鱼尾、带鳍/翼——既不是真的鱼,也不是皇帝专属的五爪龙,在 蟒→飞鱼→斗牛 的赐服序列里自成一档。FLUX 底模没有这个文化先验,所以本 LoRA 只能用风格化的中国龙+云纹织锦去近似:远看有飞鱼服的味道,但并非真飞鱼纹。

• 龙的结构是写意的、爪数不可控;形制默认交领贴里,曳撒(中央马面+两侧外摆)和圆领袍召唤较弱。

• 这是"把明代文化符号教给一个西方语料底模"的固有难题,不是改几行提示词能解决的。要严格考据请配合 ControlNet/参考图,或改用中文底模。

• 这是我自己国家的文化。 希望大家用它创作开心的同时,也知道真正的飞鱼服该是什么样子。🙏

Golden rule — write a man / a young man, NEVER a guard. The word "guard" pulls FLUX toward Western military uniforms (epaulettes, gloves). Use man.

⚙️ Recommended settings

• Base model: FLUX.1-dev

• LoRA weight: 0.8 – 1.0 (start at 0.9)

• Steps: 20–28 | Guidance (CFG): 3.5 – 4.0

• Sampler: Euler + flowmatch / beta scheduler

• Resolution: 768×1024 or 832×1216 (portrait)

• Low VRAM (≤16GB): use the fp8 / quantized FLUX build — bf16 will overflow and crawl.

📋 Prompt templates (copy-paste)

A. Default guard — soft cap (wushamao)

jinyiwei, wushamao, luandai, zaoxue, a man standing in a Ming palace courtyard, full-length frontal view, richly embroidered with a serpentine Chinese imperial dragon in gold across the chest, soft daylight

B. Half-length hero close-up

jinyiwei, wushamao, luandai, a man in a half-length frontal pose, deep crimson brocade robe with a serpentine Chinese imperial dragon in gold across the chest, dramatic studio sidelight

C. faji — bare topknot look ⭐ (use the exact opening, see Tip 1)

jinyiwei, faji, bare-headed with hair tied in a high topknot and no hat, luandai, a young man holding a saber, three-quarter standing pose, deep black brocade robe with a serpentine Chinese imperial dragon in gold across the chest, soft daylight before a classical hall

D. Color variants (swap the robe color)

jinyiwei, wushamao, luandai, a man in a vivid crimson-red silk robe, serpentine Chinese imperial dragon in gold across the chest, half-length frontal pose, sunlit

• swap vivid crimson-red → deep cobalt-blue / orange-yellow / deep purple / pale silver-grey

E. Veteran (bearded, middle-aged)

jinyiwei, wushamao, luandai, a stocky middle-aged bearded man, full-length frontal pose, dragon-embroidered brocade robe, soft natural daylight

(Optional) negative — only works in CFG-enabled workflows

epaulettes, military shoulder boards, tactical gloves, modern uniform, short sleeves, bare arms

FLUX.1-dev is guidance-distilled — negatives often have little effect. Rely on positive wording (man, traditional Ming robe).

💡 Tips & known limits

Tip 1 — bare topknot (faji): faji alone is often overridden by the cap. To force the bare topknot, put bare-headed with hair tied in a high topknot and no hat immediately after faji, AND keep a full robe/scene description (don't pile up "no hat, no cap" with an empty robe — it can drop the robe). This phrasing/placement is what works.

Tip 2 — the dragon: use richly embroidered with a serpentine Chinese imperial dragon in gold across the chest. FLUX renders a stylized Chinese-dragon brocade; it will read as 飞鱼/蟒 at a glance but is not museum-accurate (a base-model limitation, not the LoRA). For strict historical dragon fidelity, pair with ControlNet or a Chinese base model.

Tip 3 — full body: add zaoxue and use a portrait aspect (832×1216) so the robe and boots render with room.

Tip 4 — face: the LoRA is clothing-focused; faces are generic by design (swap with your own face workflow if needed).

🀄 中文速查 / 快速上手

触发词: jinyiwei(必填)+ 头部二选一 wushamao(乌纱帽,默认)/ faji(裸顶髻,见下)+ luandai(鸾带)+ zaoxue(皂靴,全身用)。

铁律:写 a man / a young man,别写 a guard —— guard 会让 FLUX 串成西式军装(肩章、手套)。

参数: FLUX.1-dev · LoRA 权重 0.9(单独用可到 1.0,叠别的 LoRA 降到 0.7–0.8)· 20–28 步 · CFG 3.5–4 · Euler+flowmatch · 竖图 768×1024 / 832×1216 · 显存≤16G 用 fp8 量化版。

裸顶髻 faji: 必须把 bare-headed with hair tied in a high topknot and no hat 紧跟在 faji 后面,并保留完整袍子描述(只堆否定词会把袍子也搞没)。

龙纹说明: 出的是风格化中国龙织锦,远看是飞鱼/蟒味,但非博物馆级精确(FLUX 底模限制,非本 LoRA 问题);要严格形制可叠 ControlNet 或换中文底模。
