In the ancient women's headdress culture, what are the treading hair ornaments, swaying hair and rockhopper?

The love of beauty has been a woman's nature since ancient times. Nowadays, girls have beauty filters and cosmetics, as well as all kinds of clothes, accessories and bags, while in ancient times, there were more women? Simple? The main dress is spent on hair accessories. When we often watch costume dramas, we will find that many ancient women are wearing many hairpins or headdresses. So did the ancient women in history really like to wear so many headdresses as in the play?

First of all, we should understand the headdress culture of ancient women. It is said that in addition to paying more attention to body appearance, ancient women also paid special attention to accessories in their hair. For example, the document "The Warring States Policy" describes a sentence: A scholar dies for her bosom friend, and a woman loves her for herself. This sentence profoundly depicts the love of beauty of ancient women.

There are some stories. It is said that when the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first met the beauty Wei Zifu, he was instantly attracted by her silky black hair and could not help but accept Wei Zifu as the concubine of the harem. It can be seen that women at that time could be crowned princesses with their hair.

In addition, Zhang Lihua, the concubine of Emperor Chen of the Chen Dynasty, was deeply appreciated by the emperor, because she had beautiful hair with ornaments, so she was loved by thousands of people. It is said that Ma Huanghou of Liu Zhuang, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, stood out among the 3,000 beauties in the harem with her beautiful hair, winning the joy of Liu Zhuang, while other concubines were ashamed. It seems that ancient women attached great importance to their hair and even took it as beauty care.

Since ancient women attached great importance to hair, they naturally attached great importance to the collocation of hairstyle and hair accessories. For example, when they go out to worship Buddha, have an outing or visit the market today, they will consider what hair accessories to bring. There are many styles in them. The newly combed bun is generally decorated with flowers, among which the precious flower hairpin is divided into: hairpin, Watson, hairpin, walking shake and hairpin.

Whether it is the expensive gold and silver hairpin of the imperial concubine or the red rope tied on the head of the peasant aunt, these ancient women like to tie hair ornaments in their hair. Let's talk about some specific details about ancient hair accessories in detail.

Bubugao hair accessories: The so-called Bubugao posture is cute, and this hair accessory is one of the main first ornaments that ancient women value most.

Its shape is designed by adding ornaments to the original hairpin. The main production method is to weave flowers with gold and silver silk threads, and then embellish some jewelry patterns from them, with colorful pearls as the main ornaments, which can be inserted between hairlines when worn. When a woman wears a walking gait, the colorful pearls on it will stagger and drag around, making the scene lively and full of vitality, so it is called? One step? .

Rockhopper: When it comes to ancient hair accessories, we have to mention rockhopper, which is also one of the most common hair accessories in our women's wear.

The rockhopper often played a major role in ancient weddings. It was a festive crown worn by the bride. Its crown is decorated with phoenix, which symbolizes good luck and noble temperament. Crown ornaments originated in the Han Dynasty and have been inherited since the Han Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, it was gradually promoted to the ceremonial crown and incorporated into the crown service system.

Hairpin Look around: This kind of hairpin has the same purpose as hairpins, except that hairpins are divided into two branches to form the meaning of looking around.

It is characterized in that all kinds of birds and beasts are engraved on the hair pin. Dragon-shaped hairpins are mainly dragon-shaped, while phoenix-shaped hairpins are mainly bird-shaped, which means auspicious and noble. Therefore, there are many kinds of hair clips, such as oblique needle, vertical needle, back needle, side needle and so on. You can insert several hairpins at the same time, one on the left and one on the right. More importantly, there are all hairpins on the top and six on the left and right temples to form twelve golden hairpin.

Most ancient women in TV dramas wear hair accessories. Especially in the popular drama of the Qing Dynasty in recent years, the concubines of the queen wore all kinds of beautiful hairpins and hairpins, which seemed to lose their aura in front of other concubines as long as they didn't wear them for one day. For example, our favorite imperial concubine, Zhen Xuan's sister, was a newcomer to the palace at first, and her hair accessories were relatively simple. However, at the peak of her life, after becoming the emperor's favorite princess, the hair accessories she wore also flew to a higher level, especially after Zhen Xuan became the queen mother, her identity and hair accessories had new changes.

Every time there is a banquet or public place in the palace, you can see that the concubines have different levels of hair accessories. Mainly the headdress of the concubines in the palace has another function, which is to represent the status. Hair accessories like the queen are very dazzling. Followed by concubines, concubines and other hair accessories. , all have different degrees of brilliance, even if the general collection of concubines is dazzling. In addition, ladies-in-waiting also like to wear hair accessories, but they are simple and low-key, which can't be compared with their owners' hair accessories. Therefore, ancient women wearing hair accessories is a symbol of status, which is why they wear them.

In the Ming Dynasty, some men would wear some hair ornaments. After the Qing Dynasty, accessories such as hairpins and hairpins almost became exclusive to women. Women in the Qing dynasty are all necessary for everyone. A qualified woman can have countless hairpins, and a woman with more money will set some pearls and jade on her hairpins to show her dignity.

In addition, every festival and occasion will be matched with different styles of hair pins, and different hair accessories will be worn all year round, such as wearing jade pins in summer and autumn and some gold and silver pins in winter and spring. Especially the concubines in the imperial palace of Qing Dynasty attached great importance to headdress culture. The more jewels embedded in their headdresses, the higher the status of this woman. For example, the pearl rockhopper worn by Empress Dowager Cixi when she was buried was so luxurious that any concubine was eclipsed.

To sum up, ancient women not only loved all kinds of hairpins, one of which was to make themselves more beautiful, but also represented the noble status of all walks of life. The more expensive and gorgeous the hair accessories they wear, the more powerful they are and the more distinguished they are. Generally speaking, ordinary women wear simple clothes, mainly to match their own hair.
