The Story Of Diu Sim Stone King Zhao Jun! Avoid the moon and fall wild geese! Beautiful! Did they wear makeup and foundation at that time?

Thick makeup and light makeup is one of the hobbies that women have never changed since ancient times. It can be seen from the unearthed Chu figurines of the Warring States that powder, thrush and rouge were used at that time. The word "powder" first appeared in "Everything is done wrong, Xianxue", which shows that there were "series" cosmetics more than 2,200 years ago. Ancient agricultural society has always been self-sufficient, even cosmetics are no exception. Most of them are made of natural plants, animal fats and spices through boiling, fermentation, filtration and other steps. Comparatively speaking, ancient women were not as lucky as women today. They have no ready-made and dazzling cosmetics to choose from, but this has not weakened their willingness to dress up. Then, let's take a look at what treasures ancient women usually put in front of their dressing tables, and briefly introduce the three most commonly used magic weapons: 1, makeup powder. Most of the powder materials used by the ancients were selected from "rice flour", except rice flour and lead powder. Generally, white lead is turned into mushy facial fat, sucked dry, ground into powder or made into a solid state, which can be painted into a white face when used. Although it is toxic, it seems that women even risk their lives to "hide their ugliness with white" and take a small amount of arsenic every day to achieve the whitening effect from the inside out. Put powder on your face, which was called fu powder in ancient times. In ancient China, women used powder for a long time, which has always been the most common way to make up. According to the records of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Huangming gave Yang Guifei's sisters a powder fee of up to one million taels every year! Li Yu, a dramatist in the early Qing Dynasty, had a unique view on the method of assigning points. He thinks that female powder application at that time "tends to be subordinate to the trend, and beautiful women use it to improve their beauty", "white people can make it white" and "adding white on black is to make it black", which clearly reveals the relationship between makeup and aesthetics. What's more interesting is that the ancients also linked makeup methods such as puffing powder with moral cultivation, pointing out that beauty should be combined with cultivation. For example, Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty thought: "Taking photos and plastering is intended to think about the purity of the heart, applying powder, thinking about the sum of the heart, adding powder, thinking about the freshness and smoothness of the heart, using a comb, thinking about the reason of the heart, bun, thinking about the righteousness of the heart, and taking the sideburns. This view is not only insightful, but also profound. 2. During the Warring States Period, there was no material to stipulate eyebrows. Women burn willow branches and then apply them to their eyebrows. Then there is Dai, a dark blue mineral. Before painting, Dai must grind the inkstone and ink stone into powder and then mix it with water. Thrush is the most popular and common makeup method in China, which was produced in the Warring States Period. Qu Yuan wrote in The Songs of Chu: "White and white, black and white, only for Fang Ze." "Black" means using a black thrush. By the Han Dynasty, thrush was more common, and the more you painted, the better you looked. "Miscellanies of Xijing" wrote: "Sima Xiangru's wife, Wen Jun, has an eyebrow like a distant mountain. When she was young, she painted a distant eyebrow. "This means drawing your eyebrows long, curved and green, as beautiful as a distant mountain. Later, it was developed to use jade thrush, which was also very popular in the court. In the Song Dynasty, Yan described in "Six Commandments": "Come to Cuimei Palace late and learn from the distant mountains skillfully. "The Tale of Mizhuang Terrace says," Wei Wudi ordered the imperial court to draw a long black eyebrow, which is called fairy makeup. " Instead, in the popularity of Cuimei, the use of black eyebrows has become a new thing. In China's Notes on Ancient and Modern Times, it is said that Yang Guifei "wears heavy makeup and black eyebrows". At that time, people regarded this as a new way of makeup, and called it "new makeup". No wonder Xu Ning wrote in his poem: "When the new makeup is thrown away, the six palaces fight for the black thrush. "In the Tang Dynasty, the popular thrush was wide and short, shaped like laurel leaves or moth wings. In Yuan Zhen's poem "Don't draw long eyebrows and short eyebrows", and Li He's poem also said that "the new laurel is like a flying moth eyebrow". In order to make the broad eyebrows not appear dull, women will even smudge the color of the eyebrows when drawing them. This phenomenon is called "smudge eyebrows". Another is to draw the eyebrows very thin, which is called "thin eyebrows". Therefore, Bai Juyi has a sentence of "Qingdai Fine Eyebrows" in Shang Yang White-haired Man, and there is also a description of "petals like her face and willow leaves like her eyebrows" in Song of Eternal Sorrow. By the time of Xuanzong in Tang Dynasty, the forms of thrush were more colorful, including Yuanyang eyebrow, Hill eyebrow, Wufeng eyebrow, Sanfeng eyebrow, Beaded eyebrow, Moon eyebrow, Split eyebrow, Smoked eyebrow, Blowing eyebrow and Inverted eyebrow. There are so many paintings on the eyebrows alone, which shows that the ancients have a strong love for beauty. 3. Rouge has existed since Shang Dynasty. This is an old lipstick. The raw material is a kind of flower called "red and blue", and it can also be used as blush when mixed with cosmetic powder. Later, people added bovine bone marrow, pig pancreas and other things to this red pigment, making it a dense oil. Since then, the oil of rouge has a real meaning. Lipstick was called oral fat and lip fat in ancient times. The red color of oral fat, painted on the lips, can increase the bright color of oral lips and give people a healthy, young and energetic impression, so it has been loved by women since ancient times. The degree of this kind of love can be seen in the book Guan Baizhi of the Tang Dynasty, which records: "On the 12th, I offered oral fat, facial fat, head cream, and garment sachet to the Bachelor of North Gate, and the oral fat was filled with a blue tooth tube. "It says here that oral fat is packed in carved ivory tubes, which shows how precious oral fat is in many cosmetics! There are many ways to fill your mouth. China is used to taking small mouth as beauty, namely "small cherry mouth". For example, Cen Can, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said in Poems of Drunk Fight with Ren Mei: "A little peach blossom on your lips. "Tang Chaoyuan and later, due to the influence of Tubo costumes and makeup, there appeared" crying makeup "and" tears makeup ",which, as the name implies, turned makeup into crying, and was then called" contemporary makeup ". The poet Bai Juyi once described in detail in the poem "Contemporary Makeup": "Contemporary makeup comes from all directions of the city and is popular far and near, with no ink on the cheeks and no powder on the cheeks. The lips are black as mud, and the eyebrows are painted low. Black and white makeup is out of its original state and looks like a sad cry. "This kind of makeup is not only unsightly, but also gives people a strange feeling, so it soon became out of fashion. Sandalwood was also popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and sandalwood was light crimson. Qin Guan, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, sang in Nan Ge Zi: "Rub your blue skirt and apricot skirt, lean on the jade fence alone and touch your lips without words." "This color of oral fat is still very popular until modern times. Of course, whether it is cinnabar or sandalwood, we should choose and use it appropriately according to the different characteristics and conditions of individuals, and we must not pretend to be beautiful. In addition to the above three commonly used techniques, there are many special effects of accessories and makeup, such as: flower bud, also known as flower bud, face flower and decal, which is a small decoration attached to eyebrows and face. As for the origin of flower bud, according to the record quoted from Wu Hou Ji in Song Gaocheng's Miscellaneous Five Elements Book, in the Southern Dynasties, "Princess Shouyang, a woman, had a chapter under the eaves of the temple, and plum blossoms fell on her forehead, which could not be removed. After washing for three days, it fell off, and the maids were all kinds of strange things, fighting for the result. "I don't know why it's called plum blossom makeup or Shouyang makeup. In the Song Dynasty, plum blossom makeup was still popular. Wang Zao sang in Ode to Drunken Flowers: "There is a gap in the boat curtain, the beauty is half exposed to plum makeup, and Lv Yun is as low as a flower. "Also in the Tang Dynasty, decals became popular. What is the bud made of? In ancient times, the materials for making flower buds were very rich, including gold foil, paper, fish scales and camellia cakes. The most interesting thing is that even dragonfly wings can be used as flower buds! For example, "Dream" written in the Song Dynasty said: "In the late Tang Dynasty, the imperial court or the net got dragonflies and loved their delicate green, so they painted their wings with golden pens and made small flowers. "It can be seen that in ancient times, women's makeup methods were not only rich, but also unique and eclectic. The colors of flower buds are red, green and yellow. There is a saying in the well-known "Mulan Ci" that "putting yellow on the mirror". In addition to the plum blossom shape, there are all kinds of birds, small fish and ducklings, which are very beautiful and novel. Frontal yellow, also called crow yellow, is yellow painted between the foreheads. This kind of makeup is out of use now. It originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and prevailed in the Tang Dynasty. According to China Women's Decoration, this decoration has a certain relationship with the popularity of Buddhism. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism entered its heyday in China. Inspired by the golden lacquer Buddha statue, some women painted their foreheads yellow, which gradually became a common practice. Jian Wendi's "Beauty" in the Southern Dynasties said: "About the yellow energy efficiency month, cutting gold to make stars clever." The yellow mentioned here refers to the makeup method of forehead yellow. When the forehead yellow prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, Wen recited the sentence of "infinite sunset mountain, yellow forehead" in the poem, and Li Shangyin also wrote: "Princess Shouyang gave a dowry, and the eyebrows in the eight-character palace held the forehead yellow. "In the Tang Dynasty, Niu Monks and Confucians also described the story that the goddess Zhi Qiong made her forehead yellow. When the forehead yellow was still popular in the Song Dynasty, the poet Peng sang: "There was a woman named Jingmu, whose beads fell on her temples and painted yellow. "These all reflect the scenes that ancient women like to have yellow foreheads. In ancient times, objects containing cosmetics also had a nice name-"dowry". The dowry culture in China has a long history. "Stop drinking water and take a bath with flowing water", put Shellmon's dental ornaments on his neck, and "look in the mirror at dawn and make up his lips at dawn", which is well known to the ancients. In the rest of the poem, Don Zhu Qing said, "After makeup, I ask you in a low voice, but the thrush is not deep. "Everyone has a love of beauty, all the time. In the ancient society, which emphasized that women "can't go out and enter the second house", "women are pleased with themselves" is undoubtedly women's greatest pleasure and concern. Although the social background, political and economic system, moral concepts, customs and people's feelings of each dynasty are different, the definition of beauty is different. Whether the ring is fat or thin, beautiful or beautiful, varies from person to person, from time to time and from place to place. Especially in ancient times, women's social status was low and they were strongly attached to men economically. They are in a miserable situation of being chosen by men, having multiple wives and concubines, and competing for favor with each other all their lives. In this case, women want to have more advantages, and the beauty of appearance is naturally the most basic and important condition. Natural beauty is not available to everyone, so most women can only add their own style through artificial makeup, win the favor of the opposite sex, and get certain psychological satisfaction in the process of makeup. In ancient times, women attached great importance to the beauty of skin, and blowing broken skin around was a basic condition of beauty and an important criterion to measure women's beauty. We can also see a thing or two from the adjectives used by literati to describe beautiful women, such as "soft hands, skin like jelly", "skin like ice and snow" and "ice muscle jade bone". In addition to the beauty of skin, the ancients also paid great attention to the beauty of hair, combing and caring every day, and storing more hair without cutting it. In the early days, it was hung on the shoulders at will, and later it was tied with a rope for practical needs. Later, a variety of bun styles were gradually developed. Even in the Zhou Dynasty, wigs were used to add style and beauty to the head. Scholars speculate that the most basic reason why the ancients paid attention to skin and hair should be related to ethics. " The body is a skin injury, and parents dare not hurt it. Filial piety begins. "However, in addition to ethical concepts, I think aesthetic awareness and health needs are also very important reasons. Therefore, ancient women in China had various skin care products suitable for different needs. The function of skin care products is basically protection and prevention. The clever ancients added some prescriptions to them, which increased the therapeutic effect. As for the way of use, it is nothing more than external use and internal use. The ways of maintenance can also be called varied. As for how the women in the royal compound stay young forever, it is quite mysterious. Folk neighborhoods are scrambling to see if there is a secret recipe circulating, and women who are chasing the forefront of the trend imitate and infect fashion at an alarming rate, which has been the case since ancient times. In terms of makeup accessories, ancient women surpassed today's women. It's not just the form that is colorful. They put makeup on their faces, rouge on their cheeks, trim their eyebrows, modify their lips, and even insert colorful flowers on their foreheads to add beautiful effects. What is more affectionate is that they treat their makeup calmly and calmly, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, which is particularly leisurely and beautiful, rather than the feeling that women are always in a hurry to make up, in the car and on the road. Most of the cosmetics used now are chemical preparations, which have no therapeutic effect. Many cosmetics can also irritate skin and mucous membranes, causing allergies, and even some famous products contain dangerous ingredients that cause cancer. Nowadays cosmetics often do more harm than good to women. In fact, as early as the Tang Dynasty, China had medicines, cosmetics and traditional Chinese medicine beauty agents. At that time, the prosperity was unprecedented, and women were more carefree and paid attention to appearance in different places. Drugs and cosmetics, such as facial fat, hand cream and oral fat, are popular among aristocrats. With the gradual change of dynasties, exquisite makeup not only improved the status of women, but also men fell in love with makeup, reflecting aristocratic temperament, so we can see that the sons, wives and even maids of Rong Ning's second wife in A Dream of Red Mansions have the habit of burning incense. For a person, beauty may be the little sister next door in those days, or it may be a strange girl passing by in an instant. For a period of history, beautiful women may be thin and fat rings, Wang Qiang learning Chinese characters, green pearls in Jingu Garden, and Xiao Su by Qiantang River. For women, beauty is more of a state of mind. After a quiet life of wind and rain, the years have passed and the heart is still calm. The beautiful women of the past are gone, and we can't imagine their charm in those days. Even the truest description is still not satisfactory. It is better to use rouge lead powder for beautiful women, crony clothes and hairpins to look good. There are still beautiful women in front of us. From their spiritual declaration, we may be able to understand something …
