A dream of red mansions is a grand view garden for daughters and beautiful women! Why do you say that?

Unlike traditional books, which focus on men, A Dream of Red Mansions focuses on women. According to the statistics of Jiang Qi, a famous scholar of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, there are 975 people, including 480 women, which is quite amazing. The purpose of Cao Gong's writing is to record the women who appeared in his life and set up a book for them, so that their stories can be passed down to future generations.

"Dream of Red Mansions" is a hymn of women, and what I have to mention is the grand view garden of my daughters. Since it is about women, we have to say beauty. In fact, many people have their own beauty experiences. Because the ancients paid attention to "the skin of the body is influenced by parents", they loved hair very much. Among them, they have many skills in hair care and hairdressing, which are still very practical today.

First, hair care appliances. I don't believe that the wives and maids of the Jia family are very particular about combing their hair. Everyone has their own toiletries. When Zi Juan takes care of Baoyu who is sick because of jokes, she should take her own toiletries to the hospital. Xiren went home to visit the sick, and Wang Xifeng also told her not to use other people's toiletries. In fact, these cosmetics are really personalized, and everyone needs different things, so it is more convenient for everyone to have one.

Hair is a person's second face, so in many scenes of A Dream of Red Mansions, you can see chapters about grooming, so which ones will they use as hair care appliances?

Comb: essential for hairdressing and an expression of love.

Fine combed Dai Yu's hair.

There is also a legend about the origin of combs, which was invented by Princess Fang of Xuanyuan Huangdi inspired by fish bones. Originally named for its wood, it is also called wooden comb. With the change and progress of the times, many different kinds of combs have appeared, such as ebony combs, mahogany combs and horn combs. Among them, the ancients liked mahogany combs very much because they thought mahogany could bring good luck to people.

Beauty came from scratch, and combs were also necessary tools in ancient times. Comb hair is an integral part of grooming. Correct comb hair can beautify appearance and protect hair. Because boys need to store hair at that time, combs are unisex.

2 1 year, Xiangyun came to Jia's house to play, and Baoyu begged Xiangyun to comb her hair as she did when she was a child. Xiangyun thought that everyone was beginning to grow up and didn't want to do this, but she had to ignore Baoyu's repeated requests and agreed.

In chapter 59, Daiyu also described combing her hair. Daiyu added, "I'm fine. I'm going out for a walk today. Go back and tell your sister that you don't have to greet your mother, and you dare not ask her to come and see me. I will comb my hair with my mother and go to your place, and even eat the food there. Everyone will be more lively. "

Daiyu is a young lady, and they all have special requirements for gfd. They can't go out without dressing properly. Moreover, this time is also an expression that Daiyu is dressed up, indicating that her figure has become better. At the same time, Daiyu also likes Baochai and Aunt Xue very much. She always likes to leave and doesn't like to get together. She took the initiative to be with Baochai and them, and even wanted a bite to eat. In fact, some people like loneliness, but they just don't want to be disappointed.

In addition to the function of hair care, combs have a deep meaning. Giving someone a comb means wanting to live with this person forever. In ancient times, when men and women got married, they would cut off a strand of hair on each other's heads and tie it together to show their unity and express the meaning of "getting married and loving each other", so the comb became a promise of love.

Minko: an artifact to take care of small broken hair

The hippopotamus chef is a small brush used by ancient women to apply oil when combing their hair. At that time, it was very convenient to take care of small broken hair by painting osmanthus oil or soaking water on their hair and calling it hippopotamus chef. Daiyu Baochai accidentally pulled her hair out of her sideburns, so Baochai reminded her to take a sip and gather it up. Now there is also this artifact, like a mascara brush, which sends the broken hair to the hair to comb, so that the broken hair will not fall off.

Pinch braid: an artifact that does not wash your hair

The comb is made of bamboo, with a beam in the middle and dense teeth on both sides. Because its teeth are denser than combs, it can well separate hair from hair, and scraping from the scalp can filter out lice, dandruff and grease secreted by the head. 2 1 cycle, Xiren is sick, and Musk is the housekeeper. Baoyu saw Musk Moon alone and thought that her head was itchy in the morning, so he gave Musk Moon a comb. In the case that shampooing is not that aspect, using grille and hair saves the trouble of shampooing.

Second, hair care shampoo hair care can not be omitted. In ancient times, there was no complicated conditioner or hair mask, but girls in ancient times were very smart. They also use many physical methods to care for their hair, clean their hair with soap feet and eggs, and care for their hair with osmanthus oil and soaking water.

Shampooing is the first step in hair care. Gleditsia sinensis and eggs are very useful.

Everyone is keen on shampooing Fang Guan.

The hair of ancient people was very long. Shampooing is the first step of maintenance. Only when you wash your hair can you talk about maintenance.

In 58 chapters, it tells how women wash their hair. Fang Guan's foster mother wouldn't let Fang Guan wash her hair first, but let her wash her hair with her daughter and others. Fang Guan quarreled with her when she didn't want to. Later, people couldn't stand it anymore, so they washed her hair with their own shampoo.

After that, he got up and went to the room to get a bottle of toilet water, some eggs, soap, rope and the like, and asked a woman to send it to Fang Guan, so that he could wash himself with another water and stop making noise.

Soap is different from what we use now. It is made by mixing Gleditsia sinensis with spices and Chinese herbal medicines, mashing them into powder, and then caking them, hence the name. Gleditsia sinensis is the seed of Gleditsia sinensis, which is pod-shaped and can be used as medicine and soap. Soap was widely used at that time. Jasmine soap is used in "Jin Ping Mei", and the rose soap made in the palace is also used by Cixi in "Yu Xiang Mo Lu".

An egg is an egg. There is an example in the book "Hu Lin Ji Xiao Secret Recipe" that "a woman's hair is dirty and greasy, and the egg is washed off after it is painted white", that is, egg white is used as a hair conditioner to maintain her hair. Eggs contain lecithin, which is a very nutritious substance. Because lecithin is rich in water and oil, it is very effective for hair care, just like the lotion we use for skin care.

In fact, in addition to washing their hair with Gleditsia sinensis and Taomi water, some married women also choose the best ginger to chop and wash their hair with water. Ginger is warm. When applied externally to the scalp, it can make the scalp congested, promote blood circulation, thus improving hair quality and preventing alopecia and dandruff.

Shampoo at that time was simple, but it was very effective. In fact, if you want bright black hair, wash your hair properly, eat less fried food, soak your feet more, and go to bed early can bring many benefits.

Good hair care products: osmanthus oil and shaving water.

Osmanthus fragrans oil is an oily essence for hair care, which is used by both girls and ladies. In Xiangyun's wine order on Baoyu's 58th birthday, Xiangyun said, "This girl is not that girl. She wants osmanthus oil on her head." Qingwen, Yinger and Anzu heard this and came to Xiangyun to protest. It can be seen that osmanthus oil was also widely used at that time, but osmanthus oil was just a general term for hair oil, not just this one.

Wood shaving water, elm flower seeds are soaked in hot water to make them ooze viscous liquid or water soaked in phoenix tree branches. These two kinds of water are sticky and slippery. When you sip on your hair, it will become shiny and smooth in an instant and give off a fragrance, which not only moistens your black hair, but also facilitates combing and styling. This is a natural beauty water created by the ancients.

Thirdly, hairstyle and hair are essential decorations. People are making fun of the marriage between Daiyu and Baoyu.

Comb is the main tool for women to dress. Many different shapes can be combed through the clever use of combs. Different identities and requirements also make women's hair styles present a variety of styles. A good hairstyle is not only beautiful, but also decorated with hair.

As heroines, Daiyu and Baochai have many kinds of hairstyles. Because they are all married girls, their hair is not tied in a bun, and they are all unmarried girls.

Daiyu used to comb her hair before she was fifteen. It's just a boy who often wears two braids next to him. This hairstyle is often combed by Dai Yu and Xiangyun. When Lin Daiyu first entered the Jia family, she wore a lily bun. This hairstyle is divided into two strands, each strand is subdivided, and after many times of weaving and bending, the final shape is designed. Daiyu's hairstyle is generally commensurate with her face, all for the sake of Daiyu's exquisiteness and dustlessness.

Daiyu's hair accessories are few, but only one follows her and wears them on all occasions. This is a white beaded hairpin. Although not gorgeous, it matches sister Lin's elegant temperament, which also shows that she is in the period of filial piety. This is also where Daiyu misses her mother.

Baochai's hairstyle should be relatively simple, because Baochai's first birthday in Jiafu was fourteen, and after fifteen, her hairstyle was in the bun of a young woman. A bun refers to an ancient hair clasp, which is used to hold the curled hair. That is to say, women can tie a bun at the back at this time. Because they are not married, Baochai's hairstyle will keep a bunch of tied hair.

Baochai's hairstyle is completely different from Daiyu's. Daiyu's hairstyle has asymmetric beauty, but Baochai's hairstyle adopts a parallel and contrasting comb method, which is relatively tall and round and lovely, in line with her steady personality. Baochai doesn't like the decoration of flowers and powder, so her hair accessories are very simple, just simple beads, which can only be dressed up if it brings a grand festival.

Wang Xifeng and Li Wan represent the costumes of married young women. Just because Li Wan is young and widowed, her hair style is quite satisfactory and she seldom dresses up. While Wang Xifeng was in her prime, living in the center of the stage, her hair was like a lady's bun, including Tian Fei's bun and Lingyun's bun. Besides, she needs help to comb her hair, and she can't finish so many complicated decorations by herself. She often wears a big phoenix pearl hairpin and many complicated steps, which also symbolizes her identity and status. Feng Huang Yu Fei soared for nine days.

Girls also have their own hairstyles. When the attacker first appeared, it was a double hanging comb method. Qingwen's hairstyle is cute and playful, and the braid is wrapped around the bun. Yuanyang's hairstyle is similar to a bun, which is a one-sided hairstyle. Yingying's hairstyle is a double-drooping bun, because she is ingenious, and so on. Girls' hairstyles are not rigid, because they know how to comb their hair, so their hairstyles are constantly changing. Only the decoration will change according to the identity of the owner and the degree of love for them. In addition to the necessary decoration, flowers can also be called human hair accessories, which change with the seasons.

Generally speaking, A Dream of Red Mansions is a grand view garden for daughters and beauties. It introduces in great detail how ancient women cared and raised their hair. We are still using three tools for hair care, comb and bread crumbs. For the soapstock and eggs written in it, osmanthus oil and shavings water for hair care are worth learning. Modern cosmetics are mixed with various chemical reagents, so they look tall and do great harm to the human body. Maybe using some physical methods to maintain hair with the ancients can achieve very good results.

Hairstyle is a person's second face. Daiyu, Baochai and other ladies all have their own pressures. "Women are pleasing to themselves." Spending more time dressing up is also a sign that girls love themselves and life. If you meet unexpectedly and tomorrow comes as scheduled, it is also a good choice to take care of yourself from the beginning.
