Thrush is a custom of ancient women's facial decoration, which makes women's eyes clear and beautiful. Thrush rose in the Warring States period. Before the appearance of thrush material "Dai", women burned willow branches and painted them on their eyebrows.
The earliest thrush material is "Dai", which is made of black minerals, so it is also called "Shi Dai". Of course, among folk women, they can't afford to buy Shi Dai, so they use black pot bottom and wicker carbon black. With the changes of the times, indigo naturalis, spiral indigo and copper indigo have appeared one after another.
Copper generation is a chemical substance similar to copper rust. Green finch head is a kind of dark gray thrush material, which was introduced from the western regions in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Mother-of-pearl Dai is a thrush material used by women in Sui and Tang Dynasties, which was produced in Persia. It is a kind of Dai block with various prescribed shapes after processing and manufacturing.
