This book is very interesting! It allowed me to understand the life aesthetics of ancient women, especially their unique creativity in beauty and dressing up. I had just gotten married and was also very interested in ancient emotional stories. The content in the book reminded me of some of today's fashion and beauty methods. It turns out that many of our current aesthetic concepts can be traced back to ancient times. This book is really worth reading!
The author has elegant taste, so he can discover these elegant stories from the pile of old papers and get a glimpse of the aesthetics of the ancients.
