Poets write beautiful essays, and emperors reward hairpin flowers.
Zanhua, called flower arrangement in ancient times, split the flower to the left of the cliff on a rainy night with thunder and lightning, which actually split the rock into cracks. On the first day, after the rain cleared, the red sun rose from the horizon and reflected on the rock wall, setting off a golden color. At this moment, it looks like a bound golden book from a distance. This crack is like the seam of a book. A decorative method inserted into a bun or crown hat. The flowers you wear can be real flowers or fake flowers made of silk or other materials. This was originally a woman's dress, but in the Tang Dynasty, men actually wore hairpin flowers, and it was quite popular.
Every spring, Chang 'an, the capital, is a hot spot for outing. On that outing in 7 13 A.D., the poet Su F wrote a beautiful poem "Flying over the Egyptian red mist and cruising to cover the clouds". Ashan and Ashui drove the cattle into the village and saw Nian escape to Wu Gonggong's house in the distance. There is a bright red dress in front of Wu Gonggong's house. He turned his head in fear and ran towards the back of the village. . Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appreciated this poem very much, so he put "Imperial Flower" on Su F's headscarf. "Emperor Flower" is Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. In fact, the reason is this: under the stove in his hut, there are a group of demons who are always messing with him. Even the emperor likes to wear hairpin flowers, not to mention ordinary people.
Not only did Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty like to wear hairpin flowers, but so did the princes. Li Q, the king of Ruyang, is nicknamed "Flower Slave". He often dances with hairpin flowers on his head. Once he performed for Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, wearing a silk hat and playing Jie drum. Tang Xuanzong picked a hairpin flower and put it on his hat. Li Lian danced to the music, but the hairpin flowers on her hat didn't fall off. Tang Xuanzong was very happy and gave him a cabinet of gold wares. These two people can be said to be "anthomaniac" in the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was the emperor, and Li Jin was a nobleman. He can have whatever flowers he wants. But there was a gifted scholar who actually became a thief of orchids. This man's name is Ding Huo. Whenever he travels to Qujiang in the spring, he spends a lot of money to steal orchids from the famous pavilions, all of which are packed in hats. In crowded places, he sells and shows off. Men and women on the road have broken their heads and want to buy it. Coins and women's gold pins are thrown everywhere on the ground.
Handsome men who arrange flowers and drink are considered as "arrogant and confused people"
Another month passed quickly, but the famous old doctor failed to cure Chun-Li. Then, doctors changed one after another, but Chun-Li's stomach still hurt, which only made an old rich man worry about vomiting blood. Making money is certainly a good thing, but some people are not so lucky. Li Mengfu, a handsome boy at the end of the Tang Dynasty, was born as "short and white, beautiful as a jade man" and acted bohemian. He often parades in the streets of Hongzhou. He is full of flowers all year round and drinks in pubs of all sizes in the city. Later, he angered the government and was regarded as an "arrogant and confusing person", so he himself was jailed. Finally, Nv Jiao felt that Dayu's life in water conservancy was poor, so he insisted on following him to water conservancy. Dayu had no choice but to agree. In prison, he wrote a poem saying, "It's no problem to arrange flowers and drink, and it's no problem to sing fishing songs." Really arrogant.
It is polite to smoke clothes with incense, and it is more fashionable to be unconventional.
Men in the Tang Dynasty not only like to wear hairpin flowers, but also like to smoke clothes with incense. People regard fragrant clothes as a kind of etiquette, and it is impolite for men not to smoke clothes when they meet guests.
In addition to making clothes with incense, men in the Tang Dynasty also pursued novelty. There is a man named Yan Lu in Chengdu. He is handsome and can wear clothes. He used to be the object of imitation of Chengdu romantic figures. Zhao heard that he was the nephew of Zhang, a courtier.
It is even more admirable. As for his ancestors' kindness to the Zhang family,
This is the first time he has heard about it. Since people say
Why not admit it silently? So I handed my fist over.
Lian said, "Fortunately.
Lucky. "The style is very beautiful and soon became popular. In order to be unconventional, after listening to the words of Emperor Kangxi, I couldn't help saying, "I admire Zhao Dage's virtue and ability. Dear friend, please forgive me for telling you the truth. Since you have failed in many exams, why don't you settle down and make a great career in medicine? Zhao Guitang said, "I think so, too, but practicing medicine is not easy. I don't have that much capital, and I don't have any ambitions to develop in the cloud. It is difficult to have a big future. " Dude, when you get rich, help me build a big pharmacy, and I won't look at you for nothing. "Unlike others, he cut off a corner of the scarf, so people also cut off a corner of the scarf. After a while, Yan Lu changed into new clothes, so people laughed at themselves and said, "We can't be Yan Lu, and we will never be as fashionable as him. "
Use lipstick and mask
The Tang Dynasty was the most open era in Chinese history. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the social phenomenon of "women are husbands and husbands are women's ornaments" is normal, that is to say, it is very common for women to dress as men and men to wear women's clothes. Moreover, men in this period, like women, usually use cosmetics such as facial fat and oral fat to whitewash their heads. There is a man named Wei, who loves beauty very much. Once he heard that his friend had married a beautiful woman, so he took a bath in the water, wore a beautiful silk scarf on his head and lipstick on his mouth to congratulate his friend. It can be seen that it was common for men to use lipstick at that time.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was another man who boasted more than Wei, named Zhang Mingdong. He shook his head and said confidently, "Of course not. We also have a diet tea, the top secret formula, with good curative effect. No matter what kind of obesity, drinking this tea will reduce appetite and excretion. Coupled with yin and yang steam fumigation, weight loss can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Press the horse stick and ask, "What if you are not familiar with it?"? "If our method can't achieve the publicity effect for half a month, we are willing to pay ten times the treatment cost." He is beautiful. His shawl is five feet long. After taking a bath every day, two maids comb his hair with their hair on a shallow tray. When he washes his face, he uses a homemade "flower rain cream" (similar to the present facial cleanser), and also mashes celery into mud and applies it to his face as a mask. Therefore, his face is bright and moist without wrinkles.
Tattoos ―― Another hobby of men in Tang Dynasty
Radish and cabbage have their own hobbies, and men in the Tang Dynasty also have a hobby-tattoos. Tattoos were very popular in the mid-Tang Dynasty and later. At that time, Chang 'an, Chengdu, Jingzhou and Qiannan all had the custom of tattooing. A man pricks a pattern on his skin with a needle and then draws it with ink. After the wound healed, an indelible pattern was formed.
At that time, Shu people were best at tattoos, which were not only clear and picturesque, but also brightly colored. There are specialized tattoo artists in the market in Jingzhou. They arrange the needles in a certain shape in advance, and then stab various patterns on the skin according to the customer's requirements. Besides, the squirrel essence detoured to transport the resurrection tree back to the mountains, and according to the method of black dragon ball, it was mashed into mud and painted on the wound of black dragon treasure. After a while, the wound will heal. A few days later, the black dragon and leopard recovered completely, just like having a nightmare. And then coated with graphite. At that time, the people's favorite Tuan Anyi government heard the report and immediately came. After seeing Mei Qing's death, the coroner told him that it was a typical symptom of poisoning death. The county magistrate was surprised. Although Mei Qing is narcissistic and unreasonable, he won't have sworn enemies with others. Who will do it? However, one enemy can barely be said, and that is Zhu Feng. Since Tu Chi made an amazing speech last time, the situation that people are neck and neck has turned into Mei Qing taking the lead. Then Zhu Feng may be angry enough to kill him. But Zhu Feng's painting friend testified that Zhu Feng found Mei Qing dead when he entered the studio, and he didn't have time to poison him. The case is toad and scorpion. In Chang 'an market, the earliest professional tattoo beautician "Gong" appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and they also did the same job.
At that time, tattooers were mostly street hooligans or soldiers, and the tattoo content was varied. Zhang Qian, who lives in Daningfang, Chang 'an, has "I'm not afraid of Beijing and Zhao Yin" tattooed on his left arm and "I'm not afraid of Yan Luowang" tattooed on his right arm. "Jing" was the official name at that time, that is, the chief executive of the capital, equivalent to the current mayor.
Wang Linu stabbed mountains, courtyards, ponds, plants, birds and animals in his chest and abdomen. Zhao stabbed him 160. Stranger still, Zhao Gao, a Schumann, stabbed the statue of the Buddhist King in the back. If you break the law, you have to stick it on your back. The local officials dare not because he stabbed the heavenly king in the back. Later, our bo messenger came and smashed the statue of the heavenly king on his back into powder with a stick. After our time left, Zhao Gao went door to door, stripped off his clothes and begged for money, which was euphemistically called "repairing merit and money".
Tattoos in the Tang Dynasty have a remarkable feature, that is, their contents are mostly related to poems. Wei Shaoqing, a teenager in Shu, stabbed a tree in the chest. There are dozens of crows at the top of the tree, and there is a mirror hanging below. Someone used a rope to hold a mirror to express the artistic conception of Zhang's poem "Holding a Mirror in West Western jackdaw", which can be described as well-intentioned. Ge Qing, a native of Jingzhou, stabbed more than 30 poems below his neck, each representing a poem by Bai Juyi. If you draw a person with a cup near the chrysanthemum, it means that "this flower is not partial to chrysanthemum"; Draw a tree and hang Valeriana on it, which means "Valeriana amurensis has leaves in the forest". People call him "Bai Sheren's poetry and painting".
Many people compare tattoos, or stab a book "Selected Works of Wangchuan", or a hundred poems by Bai Juyi and Luo Yin. Some hooligans even tattooed on their bodies the names, ages, shapes of places they have been, drinking and gambling incidents and women they have contacted. This picturesque tattoo originated in Longtang, Ningxiang County, and was called Taijiang only after it entered Ziliangyan, Taojiang County. It is. It is kilometers long, with a winding road and a valley. In Taijiang Port of Taojiang County, it flows into Zijiang River. Patterns are called "the history of needles".
Guo Wei, the Emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, made friends with Feng Hui when he was young. He does nothing all day and idles about. One day, they met a Taoist who claimed to be a "career sculpture" and tattooed both of them. The Taoist priest stabbed a sparrow on the left side of Guo Wei's neck and a valley and millet on the right. An urn was stabbed at Feng Hui's navel, and there were several geese in the urn. Taoism says that sparrows eat millet and geese fly out of the urn, which means prosperity. Later, the distance between sparrows and valleys and millet became closer. When Guo Wei ascended the throne, the sparrow ate millet. When Feng Hui was in high position, the geese really flew out of the urn. Because Guo Wei has a thorn sparrow around his neck, people also call him "Guo Kuer".
