Question 1: What is the name of the ancient eyebrow makeup? In ancient times, women emphasized eyebrow makeup more than eye makeup. Since the Tang Dynasty, eyebrow makeup has reached its peak. According to the record in "Zhuang Lou Ji": "Ming Dynasty The emperor was lucky to be in Shu and ordered the painting "Ten Eyebrows", "Hengyun" and "Queyue" are all named after him."
Someone in the Ming Dynasty once described these ten eyebrows like this: "One is called Mandarin Duck Eyebrow, and the other is called Mandarin Duck Eyebrow. The name is Bazimei; the second is Xiaoshanmei, also known as Yuanshanmei; the third is Wuyuemei; the fourth is Sanfengmei; the fifth is Pearl Eyebrow; the sixth is Yuelingmei, also known as Queyuemei; the seventh is Split Tip Eyebrow; It is called Hanyanmei; the ninth is called Fuyunmei, also known as Hengyanmei; the tenth is called Dahunmei." These ten eyebrows can be said to be the most famous.
There are also several types of eyebrows. The earliest material for eyebrow thrush in ancient times was "Dai". "Shi Ming" says: "Dai means generation. Kill the eyebrows and remove them, and use this painting to replace them." That is to say, when our ancients first wanted to draw eyebrows, they would first pick off their own eyebrows, and then draw eyebrows.
What exactly is Dandai? There is an ancient text recording that "Dyeing bluestone is called Diandai." Therefore, Dai is a kind of mineral, which can be called bluestone or Shidai. Many friends must be curious, talking about stones, how to use them to draw eyebrows? In fact, it’s easy to explain. This stone is a bit like graphite. Yang Sheng'an said in his "Tan Yuan Dao Go": "The Classic of Mountains and Seas 'The mountain where the woman's bed is located has many rocks and nirvana.' A textual examination of the Scriptures to support the gods says: 'The king's virtue reaches the mountains and mausoleums, and the ink elixir comes out.' (Note) : Dan is the name of the color, also known as blue, white and yellow. "Shi Nie" and "Mo Dan" are now called "graphite", and the name is "Thrush Stone". The ancient books were written with lacquer, the middle ages used graphite, and later generations used smoke. "Ink." It can be seen from this that our ancestors discovered the mineral 'graphite' very early, but the ancients did not call it that, but called it 'stone nirvana', which refers to the ability to "nirvana" (dye). , also called "Mo Dan". Let me mention here that in ancient times, all powdery pigments were called "Dan", not specifically red ones, so black pigments were also called "MoDan". In short, in a word, it is a product of the mountains, a mineral. Because of its smooth texture, it can be used for thrush, so it is also known as "thrush stone". This is the earliest natural ink, which men used for writing and women used to draw eyebrows.
In terms of usage, Shidai should be ground into powder on a special inkstone, then mixed with water, and then applied to the eyebrows. Of course, times are advancing, and later processed Dai blocks began to be available, and the medicine was directly mixed with water for use.
So what color is Dai? From the name of "bluestone", we can think that Dai is "blue". However, this green is not that green, and the ancients had different understandings of green. "Green" is a primary color, including the concentration of shades of blue, blue, green, emerald, etc. This color is often called black or primary color. For example, at that time, the sky was called "Xuantian" and the ocean was called "Xuanming". Then the color of Dai will be unclear. Sometimes it is said to be green, sometimes it is said to be dark green, dark black, etc... Later it was changed to "Dai Mei" or "Xuan Mei".
Then the color of Dai varies depending on the concentration. Very dark Dai is almost the same as light black. It can be imagined as "dark green". Almost between black and green.
Green contains cyan (blue) and yellow. Therefore, when the color is dark, it is a "black" color that is almost black; when the color is lighter, it is a blue "cang" color; when it is lighter, it becomes the "green" color of pines and cypresses in winter and trees in spring and summer. . To sum it up in one sentence, when cyan controls yellow, the color of the eyebrows will be darker and move toward black; conversely, when yellow controls cyan, the color will move toward green and verdant. All colors are determined based on the shade of the color, so the eyebrow color of the ancients can also be chosen, haha.
Therefore, black eyebrows have names such as "black eyebrows", "xuan eyebrows", "green eyebrows", "green eyebrows" and "green eyebrows".
In Wan Chu's "Five Days to Watch a Prostitute", "The eyebrows are colored with daylilies, and the red skirt is jealous of the pomegranate flowers." It can be seen that at that time, the ancients highly praised eyebrows and eyebrows. It can be said that all people have eyebrows with black eyebrows, and they are all different in shape and color.
Yellow Eyebrow
Records say that during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, due to successive wars and the spread of Buddhism, people were affected by the influence of foreign culture. As for eyebrow makeup, they broke the previous stereotype of green and black, and created a new style of "yellow ink makeup".
Here you may think that yellow is often used in face decorations. This is because Indian customs were transmitted to the Chinese land through the Western Regions. *** I started to imitate it, and at first it was just applied on the forehead, which later became the famous "forehead yellow". Yu Xin wrote in a poem: "The eyebrows are thick and straight,...>>

Question 7: The name of the dai used by concubines in ancient times to draw their eyebrows. In ancient times, women put more emphasis on eyebrow makeup than eye makeup. Since the Tang Dynasty, eyebrow makeup has reached its peak. In "Zhuanglou Ji" Records: "The Emperor Ming was lucky enough to be in Shu and ordered the painting "Ten Eyebrows", with names like "Hengyun" and "Queyue". "
Someone in the Ming Dynasty once described these ten eyebrows like this: "The first is called Yuanyang eyebrow, also known as eight-character eyebrow; the second is called Xiaoshan eyebrow, also known as distant mountain eyebrow; the third is called Wuyue eyebrow; the fourth is called Sanfeng eyebrow; The fifth is the beaded eyebrow; the sixth is the moon-shaped eyebrow, also known as the moon eyebrow; the seventh is the split-tip eyebrow; the eighth is the smoky eyebrow; the ninth is the flying cloud eyebrow, also known as the horizontal smoke eyebrow; and the tenth is the inverted eyebrow." Shimei is the most famous.
There are several types of eyebrows. The earliest material for eyebrows in ancient times is "Dai". "Dai, Daiye. Remove the eyebrows and replace them with this painting. "That is to say, when our ancients first wanted to draw eyebrows, they would first pick off their own eyebrows, and then draw eyebrows.
But what exactly is daisy? There is an ancient record that "Dyeing bluestone is called dyeing daisy." "So, Dai is a kind of mineral, which can be called bluestone or stone Dai. Many friends must be curious, talking about stone, how can it be used as a thrush? In fact, it is easy to explain. This stone is a bit like graphite. Yang Sheng'an said in his book "Tan Yuan Dao Go": "The Classic of Mountains and Seas 'The mountain where the female bed is located has many rocks in it. ’ According to the scriptures and the divine deed, it says: ‘The king’s virtue reaches the mountains and the elixir comes out. ’ (Note: Dan is also the name of the color, just like the blue, white, and yellow cloud pills.) ‘Shi Nie’ and ‘Mo Dan’ are now ‘graphite’, also known as ‘Thrush Stone’. Ancient books were written with lacquer, medieval books were written with graphite, and later generations were written with smoked ink. "It can be seen from this that our ancestors discovered the mineral 'graphite' very early, but the ancients did not call it that, but called it 'stone nirvana', which refers to the ability to "nirvana" (dye), and It’s called “Dan”. In ancient times, all powdery pigments were called “Dan”, not just red ones, so black pigments were also called “Dan”. In short, it’s called “Dan”. It is a mineral that is a product of the mountains. Because of its smooth texture, it can be used for thrush, so it is also known as "thrush stone".
This is the earliest natural ink, which men used for writing and women used to draw eyebrows.
In terms of usage, Shidai should be ground into powder on a special inkstone, then mixed with water, and then applied to the eyebrows. Of course, times are advancing, and later processed Dai blocks began to be available, and the medicine was directly mixed with water for use.
So what color is Dai? From the name of "bluestone", we can think that Dai is "blue". However, this green is not that green, and the ancients had different understandings of green. "Green" is a primary color, including the concentration of shades of blue, blue, green, emerald, etc. This color is often called black or primary color. For example, at that time, the sky was called "Xuantian" and the ocean was called "Xuanming". Then the color of Dai will be unclear. Sometimes it is said to be green, sometimes it is said to be dark green, dark black, etc... Later it was changed to "Dai Mei" or "Xuan Mei".
Then the color of Dai varies depending on the concentration. Very dark Dai is almost the same as light black. It can be imagined as "dark green". Almost between black and green.
Green contains cyan (blue) and yellow. Therefore, when the color is dark, it is a "black" color that is almost black; when the color is lighter, it is a blue "cang" color; when it is lighter, it becomes the "green" color of pines and cypresses in winter and trees in spring and summer. . To sum it up in one sentence, when cyan controls yellow, the color of eyebrows will be darker and move toward black; conversely, when yellow controls cyan, the color will move toward green and verdant. All colors are determined based on the shade of the color, so the eyebrow color of the ancients can also be chosen, haha.
Therefore, black eyebrows have names such as "black eyebrows", "xuan eyebrows", "green eyebrows", "green eyebrows" and "green eyebrows".
In Wan Chu's "Five Days to Watch a Prostitute", "The eyebrows are in the color of day lily, and the red skirt is jealous of the pomegranate flowers." It can be seen that at that time, the ancients highly praised eyebrows and eyebrows. It can be said that all people have eyebrows with black eyebrows, and they are all different in shape and color.
Yellow Eyebrow
Records say that during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, due to successive wars and the spread of Buddhism, people were affected by the influence of foreign culture. As for eyebrow makeup, they broke the previous stereotype of green and black, and created a new style of "yellow ink makeup".
Here you may think that yellow is often used in face decorations. This is because Indian customs were transmitted to the Chinese land through the Western Regions. *** I started to imitate it, and at first it was just applied on the forehead, which later became the famous "forehead yellow". Yu Xin wrote in a poem: "The eyebrows are thick and straight...>>
Question 8: What are the names of ancient Zhenzhi's cosmetics? Yes, there are those. Yuanshandai originally refers to beautiful eyebrows. Because most women in ancient times like to use dark-colored eyebrows, the color is like distant mountains, so it is called Luozi. Dai is also known as Luodai. It is a thrush material for women in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is produced in Persia and has been processed into various shapes.
p>
Question 9: What is the name of the ancient women's makeup tool? The famous prodigal Emperor Sui Yang liked to roam around in dragon boats. On each boat, there were thousands of beautiful Changbai women holding carvings and carvings. One day, Emperor Sui Yang fell in love with Wu Jiangxian, a palace girl, and wanted to promote her to Jieyu, but he didn't expect that she was already married to Sui Yang. The emperor was very disappointed and called her "Mrs. Kongtong" when he brought her to the dragon boat. This emperor's hobbies were really wide-ranging and unprincipled, ranging from his father's concubine to the lowest-status civilian woman to the shameless one. As long as the little girl is beautiful enough, Wu Jiangxian painted her eyebrows into long eyebrows, and the beauties in the harem rushed to imitate them. ". Luozi Dai is produced in Persia and is worth ten gold each. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty often leaned against the sunshade and looked at Wu Jiangxian for a long time without leaving. He said, "The ancients said that 'beautiful eyes can be eaten.' People like Jiangxian can really cure hunger. Sick. ”
Another beauty who wasted time and money was Mrs. Sun, the beloved concubine of Sun Quan’s descendant Sun He.
Sun Hechang held Mrs. Sun on his knees one night when the moon was bright. He accidentally bruised Mrs. Sun's cheek with the jade Ruyi in his hand, which made her face bleed. Sun He called the imperial doctor and ordered them not to leave any scars. The imperial doctor said that it is easy to stop bleeding and to avoid leaving scars, it is necessary to mix white otter marrow, jade shavings and amber shavings together and apply it frequently to be effective. Sun He then offered a reward of thousands of gold to anyone in the world who offered white otter marrow. An old fisherman on the Fuchun River reported that white otters would fight for their mates every year during the fish sacrifice. The bones of the dead otters were hidden in stone caves. Although there was no bone marrow in them, it could be removed by crushing the bones and mixing them with jade powder. scar. After hearing this, Sun He ordered the fisherman to salvage some otter bone jade chips and amber powder to make an ointment. As a result, Mrs. Deng used too much expensive amber powder, leaving a red spot on her cheek after applying it, which made her look even prettier. It has become a custom for the concubines in the harem to put small spots on their cheeks with red lipstick.
Question 10: What are the names of ancient cosmetics? Eyebrow and lip makeup
According to records, King Zhou loved to give solidified flower juice to his doting wives and concubines. Dyeing nails and making up faces, because this kind of cosmetics originated from the Yan State, so later generations called it "Yanzhi". As far back as the Han Dynasty, Chinese women have widely used lipstick. From the lacquerware dressing box unearthed from Han Tomb No. 1 in Mawangdui, Changsha, Changsha more than 2,000 years ago, in addition to hair locks, combs and powder, swallow fat was also found. Eyebrow pencil was also called "Dai" in ancient times and has a long history. According to literature, Zhang Chang, the governor of Kyoto who served Emperor Xuan of the former Han Dynasty, loved to use Dai to draw eyebrows for his wife. In the early days of the Later Han Dynasty, it was popular for women in the Chang'an area to draw "wide eyebrows", using a blue eyebrow pencil at that time. In the Tang Dynasty, it became popular to draw moth whiskers (antennae) on eyebrows.
In the Tang Dynasty, "red makeup", "red face" and "red face" were also popular. This is when women first apply white powder on their face before applying makeup, and then apply red rouge. According to legend, when Concubine Yang went to the harem to say goodbye to her parents, she burst into tears. When she was about to get in the car, due to the cold weather, the tears on her face actually froze into thin red ice!... In addition, there is an interesting legend that the concubine was so cold that she burst into tears. With a plump body, she would be suffocated by the heat in the middle of summer, and she would sweat. Whenever she wiped her face with her handkerchief, it would turn red.
A great poet of the Tang Dynasty also wrote a poem "Make-up in the Times". The poem describes the fashion at that time for women in Chang'an to apply black oil on their lips (called "black paste lips") and white powder on their faces. makeup.
In 601 AD, Korean monks introduced lipstick to Japan, so the fairies in the "Auspicious Fairy Picture" at that time all had lipstick on their lips. However, it was not until the 18th century that Japanese women popularized lipstick makeup. In the early days, in order to make the lipstick thicker, women at that time liked to apply ink on their lips before applying lipstick.
2 Eye Circle Makeup
Since ancient times, people have paid great attention to makeup in order to protect the body or modify their appearance. In the primitive period, humans were accustomed to smearing animal fat, oil, clay and loess on their skin to protect themselves from cold, heatstroke and insect bites. At that time, humans lived in vast primeval forests. In order to prevent local diseases, they were also keen on practicing superstitious spells to eliminate evil spirits. Whenever people held rituals, they had to put makeup on their eyes and face.
In ancient Egypt, in order to prevent heat and dry skin, people often applied sesame oil and oily ointments to their skin. In addition, the ancient Egyptians also liked eye rim makeup, which is to draw green, black or blue paint on the upper and lower eyelids. It is said that this is to prevent trachoma, flies (an ancient tropical fly can fly into the eyes to lay eggs) and flying insects. Invasion is also to shield from the scorching sun and disinfect. Therefore, when formulating such coating cosmetics, blue-green malachite powder with bactericidal effect is mostly incorporated. Later, people began to pay attention to the color of this type of cosmetics, and they especially liked to use paint prepared with light black manganese dioxide, and some even used green resin.
According to the research and analysis of ancient mummies, it was found that the upper eyelids of ancient people were painted with black pigment, and the lower eyelids were painted with blue-green pigment. The main component of this black pigment is lead sulfide, and the main component of blue-green pigment is lead sulfide. The ingredient is malachite (containing a large amount of copper sulfate).
In the Middle East, women have long had the custom of drawing blue-black eye circles. To this day, in some *** countries, people can still occasionally see eye circles through thin veils. To the women with heavy makeup around their eyes. In the ancient Greek era, people first painted their eyelashes with smoke black, and then applied yellow-white natural rubber paste. Women at that time also liked to extract red dye from henna and apply it to their lips and cheeks.
Three-dot mole and beard makeup
In the late seventeenth century, women in Paris became popular with the makeup technique of dotting moles. The shapes of black moles are divided into star-shaped, crescent-shaped and round. They are usually dotted on the forehead, nose, cheeks and lips. They are also found in hidden places on the abdomen, belly and inner legs. The color of moles ranges from black and Red etc.
According to the publicity of a mole spot shop on Saint-Denis Street in Paris in 1692, the meaning of a mole varies greatly depending on the location of the mole. For example, a mole on the forehead symbolizes a queen; a mole on both sides of the nostrils indicates shamelessness; a mole on the eye frame indicates passion; a mole on the lips indicates a love for kissing and a woman who is not devoted in love; a mole on the dimples Dotting a mole indicates that the owner is a woman with a cheerful personality. Of course, these meanings are all imagined.
In addition, men at that time were "not to be outdone" and wore beards. This custom once made a noise in the society. It is said that because King Louis XIII of France liked to grow a beard, men who loved to follow the fashion followed the same pattern and grew such kingly beards.
What is surprising is that some men even take the initiative to apply thick layers of fragrant hair paste on their beards, making their beards very hard, like iron wire. In addition, there is also love to decorate the ends of the moustache... >>
