While Zhen Huan was taking a shower in the hot spring, the emperor slowly walked over. Zhen Huan then said, "Does the emperor have to learn from the Han Dynasty to become emperor?" But then she said that she was afraid of being like Zhao Hede.
At that time, I said that Zhen Huan said that because Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty liked to peek at Zhao Hede's bath. But recently, when I saw Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy, Zhen Huan asked Fangruo to apologize to the emperor. Fangruo painted Yuanshan Dai and said that Queen Chunyuan liked painting Yuanshan Dai the most. The emperor thought of Zhen Huan, who looked like Chun Yuan, and came to Zhen Huan that night. Luo Zida
The next day I played chess with the concubine, and the incident of Luo Zida as a tribute from Arabia also came one after another. The emperor gave one of the only three dendrobiums to Zhen Huan, because she painted the distant mountain Dai beautifully. .
I am also curious, how on earth was this distant mountain daisy painted, and how beautiful it is to make the emperor so fascinated.
This is not unclear. An investigation also revealed that Zhen Huan, in addition to making fun of the emperor's behavior, may also have something to do with Yuan Shan Dai when it comes to Zhao Hede.
According to the "Book of Han", the eyebrow shape of "Yuanshandai" was originally created by Zhao Hede. After painting this eyebrow shape, the eyebrows look like distant mountains with green emeralds. Because of their beauty, Everyone competes to imitate.
It is recorded in "Feiyan Wai Zhuan" by Lingxuan of the Han Dynasty, "The female brother Hede entered the palace with thin eyebrows and was named Yuanshan Dai." The old "Zhao Feiyan Gaiden" written by Lingxuan of Han nationality recorded: "He De De Xin Mu, anointed with nine layers of agarwood fragrance, it is called a new bun; for thin eyebrows, it is called Yuanshan Dai; for strong power, it is called Lai Zhuang. "
In ancient times, people often described beauty." Her eyebrows are like the distant mountains, her skin is like a peach blossom, her smile is subtle, her hair is like flowing clouds, and her eyes are like the starry sky. "In this kind of poetry, the woman's eyebrows are either vaguely filled with love, or they are not filled with a hint of love." sad.
According to the description of Zhuo Wenjun in "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" written by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "Zhuo Wenjun is better, and his eyebrows are like looking at the mountains." This means that Zhuo Wenjun's eyebrows are like mountains and his face is like magnolia, so "Gunshan" was a common eyebrow style in the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shan Dai
Because Yuan Shan Dai is a painting method of pale, long and thin eyebrows, it is like the long mountains behind the dark rain in an ink landscape painting.
And "Dai" is the original raw material of thrush, because it is a black mineral, also known as "Shidai". At that time, when the ancients were cooking, they had to grind the Shidai on an inkstone to make it powdery, and then mix it with water before use.
Yuanshan eyebrows are long, slender and light-toned, which makes the makeup look delicate and elegant, so they are deeply loved by women.
Eyebrows can be regarded as the life of a woman’s entire makeup. An eyebrow shape that suits her can greatly add a lot to her aura. For example, many well-known actors used to wear Korean-style unibrows in the past two years, which was difficult to express their personal advantages. In recent years, everyone has begun to look for eyebrows that really suit them, and their aura has suddenly changed.
The ancients often said that eyebrows come and go, so it can be seen that eyebrows and eyes are vivid expressions of human personality and emotions. Therefore, the ancients paid no less attention to eyebrows than we do.
For example, "Emei" and "Fendai" have always been used as nicknames for beautiful beauties. This shows the influence of eyebrows in the hearts of ancient people.
In the poems, lyrics and legendary mobile phones written by literati of all generations, descriptions of women’s eyebrow makeup abound.
As early as the pre-Qin period, there are records in historical materials about Dai, the key raw material of the thrush. This shows that eyebrow makeup was already popular at that time. It's just that the eyebrow makeup at that time didn't have much artificial decoration, so it was named "Mo Mei". This type of eyebrow shape imitates the antennae of a silk moth, which is both long and curved, giving people a refreshing and elegant look.
For example, "Wei Feng·Shuo Ren" depicts the image of Qizhuang Jiang, the wife of Duke Wei Zhuang: "The hands are like soft yellow, the skin is like gelatin, the teeth are like rhinoceros, the head of a bee and the eyebrows of a moth; beautiful eyes. Come, smile beautifully." The word "moth eyebrow" in the poem is a compliment to Zhuang Jiang's long and curved eyebrows.
The Han Dynasty was the first active period in the history of eyebrow makeup, and eyebrow shapes were also more diverse, ranging from long eyebrows to splayed eyebrows, as well as distant mountain eyebrows named after eyebrow colors, and frowning eyebrows.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the eyebrow style still circulated the orthodox eyebrows and long eyebrows of the previous dynasties, and also contained a retro fashion sentiment.
Although the eyebrow style is single, the rich and colorful eyebrow colors make the eyebrow makeup move from simple to elegant.
Green eyebrows are all the rage, with both black and yellow eyebrows. Eyebrow makeup has also expanded from palace ladies to folk customs. Fashion trends are a cycle
The Sui Dynasty experienced two climaxes in the history of the thrush. Emperor Chang of the Sui Dynasty was fond of lewdness and was willing to intensify the tax collection. He imported a large amount of luozidai from Arabia (now Saudi Arabia) and gave it to the palace officials.
In the early Tang Dynasty, eyebrow makeup respected long, broad and thick eyebrows, which were very conspicuous. From the "Buqing Tu" painted by Yan Liben during the Zhenguan period, we can see that all the maids wore this makeup.
The concubines of the Song Dynasty loved the faint eyebrows that were inherited from the Tang Dynasty. The center and body of the eyebrows imitate the crescent eyebrows, but they spread out at the tail end, from deep to shallow, and merge into the temples. Queens of the Yuan Dynasty wore unibrows, which were characterized by vertical and slender eyebrows, showing a solemn behavior, and it was also considered a national style.
In the Ming Dynasty, due to the promotion of dictatorship, women were submissive and pretentious. Therefore, the eyebrow makeup of women in the Qing Dynasty was characterized by high eyebrow tips and low eyebrow tails, and long and slender eyebrows.
Looking at the history of the development of eyebrow makeup, the changes in women’s eyebrow shapes are closely related to the period and historical pace at that time. If we follow the eyebrow shape of a certain period as the starting point, we will move towards history. In the deepest part, we may also get more little-known stories. As for the development trend of eyebrow shape, from natural to pretentious, and then back to natural, we have to admit that fashion trends are a cycle.
