Chinese Outfits: Daughters of the Tang Dynasty

During the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, makeup was very popular. Learn more about it through detailed descriptions here. "The so-called dimples are not the dimples that appear on a woman's face when she smiles, but a kind of false dimples formed by painting paint or pasting flowers on the cheeks at the corners of the mouth. In ancient times, the name "De" for facial hair was a practical symbol. The concubines of emperors and princes would serve in order according to their needs. If they were unable to serve during the menstrual period and were too shy to tell the reason, they would put red dots on their faces. When the female historian saw her, her name would be removed from the list of sleeping attendants2. Legend has it that facial hair was a popular makeup that began in the Three Kingdoms period. "

A very interesting book that interprets big history from a small perspective. This type of research seems to be quite popular in historical research at present. Based on archaeological and historical research results, this book combs through the evolution of women's clothing and makeup in the Tang and Song Dynasties, thoroughly analyzes the fashion trends in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and fully demonstrates the beauty of traditional clothing. Rigorous clothing research articles and exquisite illustrations show readers the clothing and makeup of dozens of famous women in the Tang and Song Dynasties, as well as various famous items related to clothing and makeup.

When I watch those costume dramas, I find that their makeup and hair are very beautiful and charming. Nowadays, many girls are following suit. This is a book introducing ancient Chinese makeup and costumes. The author shows the beauty and style of ancient women through the study of the makeup and clothing of the Tang Dynasty. This book covers the evolution and popularity of makeup, styles and styles of clothing, and its association with social background and cultural traditions. If you are interested in ancient Chinese culture and costumes, this book will bring you a wonderful visual and intellectual experience.

The book describes women's attire and makeup from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Five Dynasties from four starting points: Qiluo, Linlang, bun and pink daisy. The most profound part of it is the chapter on bun and pink daisy. Ancient people's hairstyles and makeup were very ingenious. Kouhei was already around at that time, and it was a really advanced and inclusive aesthetic. TV dramas always like to describe the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The hairstyles and makeup of other dynasties are also very distinctive, and more knowledge is needed. Accept history as it is, whether in strength or decline. It's a good book with both pictures and text📚.

I like it. It was originally just for reference when writing a book, but the content inside was really exciting and I couldn't help but read two more chapters.

And through this book I learned a lot about ancient Chinese costumes and makeup. Thinking of those beautiful costume styles I saw in TV series, it turns out there is so much knowledge in them! I also want to be a designer in the future and design beautiful clothes.

Every picture is beautiful [adoration] [love], and the introduction is also very detailed [sending heart]

It is really a base for quoting scriptures. The explanations are very detailed and you can draw clothes for me beautifully. But some of the pictures are not very high-definition, so it's a bit difficult to look at them.

The book is very detailed and has given me a lot of knowledge. If I want to wear Hanfu, I must first understand the history to avoid insulting the culture of the Tang Dynasty.

There is something remarkable about it. People say that the author has feelings and the painter has ingenuity. It is true. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely buy the companion volume of this book "Song Shi Yi Guan Song Shi Yi".
