In recent years, Qing Palace dramas have been very popular with the audience, especially the popular broadcasts of "Zhen Huan" and "Ruyi Zhuan" have made the audience think that the concubines of the Qing Dynasty are as graceful and colorful as in the play, but after seeing the real photos of the harem concubines in the late Qing Dynasty, they have been disappointed, and even feel that there are no beauties in the late Qing Dynasty, in fact, the appearance of the harem concubines in the Qing Dynasty is indeed very ordinary, but this does not mean that there are no beautiful girls in the entire Qing Dynasty.
In fact, the photographic technology of the late Qing Dynasty was very backward, when the Western photographic technology just passed over, many people did not like to take pictures, so the women in the photos looked very stiff, and this kind of black and white photo of the slag pixel is easy to shoot people ugly, exposing the shortcomings of women, so we see the harem concubines are all distorted, the posture is stiff, in addition, in fact, the appearance of the harem concubines in that era is not a beauty.
The draft of the Qing Dynasty was never a beauty pageant, the woman's appearance is not important, mainly the family background and blood, and even more so in the late Qing Dynasty, almost all the concubines of the Guangxu Emperor were forced to him by Empress Dowager Cixi, except for Zhenfei who is good-looking, the others can't bear to look directly, but this does not mean that there were no good-looking women in the late Qing Dynasty, such as the last empress Wanrong was very beautiful, and even foreigners saw her and felt amazing, calling her a star empress.
In the Republic of China period, photographic technology has been improved, pixels are not only clearer, filters are also very soft, if according to that period of women's photos are gorgeous, dazzling, looks better than the women of the late Qing Dynasty, in fact, this is the promotion and popularization of photographic technology, so that more girls can leave their beauty, in fact, every era has a beauty, but we lack the opportunity to find beauty.
