How beautiful are women in the Qing Dynasty?

In the early Qing Dynasty, most of the flag-bearer women were Baotou or braided hair. Sourdrang dowager, for example, wears a daily robe without any decoration on her head.

After the Qing dynasty entered the customs, the cultural conflict between Manchu and Han also brought exotic charm to the makeup clothes at that time. "White thin eyes, figure-of-eight eyebrows, small mouth, big head, pointed chin, bare shoulders, hunchback and long neck" The aesthetic of women in Qing Dynasty basically follows the Song and Ming styles, which is simple and clear.

It was not until the Kangxi period that women slowly had hair ornaments on their heads. Empress Zhao Zhaoren in the reign of Kangxi also wore a secret robe for women. Because the women's secret robe is plain, there is no decoration on it, even if there is a headdress, it is only a very simple style.

When they put on auspicious clothes, they will naturally have more hair accessories corresponding to the solemnity of the clothes, which will form an echo. But only when you put on auspicious clothes and attend more important ceremonies.

Later it evolved into a special hair accessory-Zongzi. By the middle of Qing Dynasty, Xunzi's evolution was basically mature. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Xunzi had also changed, becoming more and more gorgeous, and women should be dignified.

There was a famous hairstyle called "Xiaoertou" in Qing Dynasty. The characteristic of "Xiaoerhou" is that you can't wear heavy gold and silver jewelry with your hair.

The emergence of "two heads" is based on practicality. With the consolidation of Qing dynasty's rule and economic development, the hair styles of empresses have also developed from small to large, from practical to beautiful.

Then the prototype of the flag head appeared-two heads. It first appeared in the Daoguang period, and by the end of Guangxu, the development of the flag head gradually matured.

After the flag head matured, it gradually evolved and then became bigger and bigger, becoming a common flag head in the late Qing Dynasty. The flag head is usually combed into a bun and then placed on the head seat.

Beauty in Qing Dynasty is reserved, and Lin Daiyu in A Dream of Red Mansions is a typical figure. Generally speaking, the makeup of women in the Qing Dynasty is simple and elegant, with slender eyebrows, light and soft eye makeup, pink rouge and small and light lip makeup, which is more soft.
