Old photos of the Qing Dynasty: Why are these concubines "ugly"? That's because you haven't seen pretty
I don't know if you have watched so many court dramas, especially the Qing Palace dramas, whether there is such a feeling, the concubines basically have the existence of a family, the concubines' aunts are all important courtiers of the imperial court, and the concubines' talents are also many, they are all good at everyone's show, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if the children of ordinary people have no chance to enter the palace to serve.
But Xiaobian has to say that the aesthetics of the Qing Dynasty are still a little worse, basically it looks like it is too thin to be able to do it, the kind of look that is weak and can't help the wind, it looks like it is a very serious illness, and it can be understood when you think about it carefully, China at that time has always been at war, the people are not happy, the people are not good, plus the erosion of opium, but not one by one, they all look sick. At that time, the Manchus did not allow them to practice martial arts, and the Manchus rode the world, wearing clothes with straight plates, plus the photos were black and white, and they could not see that they looked good.
At that time, Chinese ignorant, thinking that the camera was something that could collect their souls, and when they saw the camera, they immediately became serious, as if they were going to die, xiaobian felt that it might be a problem of black and white photos appearing light, if there was makeup at that time, the effect would definitely be different!
People say that everyone is not out of the second door, and the movement at home is also very small, so just like the people in the photos we usually see, one by one is not good-looking, not because of fear of cameras, it is the life at that time that artificially became like this. If in ancient times there is now the technology to fill the light and makeup, it will definitely be interesting. During the Republic of China period, everyone liked the photographic things very much, people also became beautiful and good-looking, more confident, the former people were still devastated by life, and poverty caused by ugliness.
