More than a hundred years ago, the invention of photographic technology, let us have the privilege of being able to witness history through time and space, the late Qing Dynasty photographic technology was also introduced to China, because the camera was a luxury at that time, so only the imperial relatives and nobles could idle to take pictures, when Empress Dowager Cixi was very keen to take pictures, and she would also take pictures with the harem concubines and princes and nobles, but the appearance of the harem concubines in these old photos was not satisfactory.
In everyone's impression, the emperor's harem is naturally three thousand beautiful, but in the real photos of the Qing Dynasty, whether it is a concubine or a Cixi looks not very beautiful, so many people think that the Qing Dynasty may not have beautiful women, so even the concubines in the palace are so unsatisfactory, in fact, the beauties of the Qing Dynasty are not necessarily in the palace, because the Qing Dynasty's draft is not a beauty pageant, they value the woman's family lineage and bloodline.
In fact, in the Qing Dynasty, many women were much better looking than the concubines in the palace, because it was impossible to enter the palace draft without noble origin and family background, and at that time, ordinary people's life was difficult, and there was no chance to take pictures, so even if there were beautiful people, they did not have the opportunity to leave a shadow, and the photographic technology at that time was very backward, so it would shoot people ugly, so the people on the photos all looked very stiff and strange.
After arriving in the Republic of China, the photographic technology has been greatly improved, and there are also a lot of photo studios on the roadside, taking pictures is no longer the privilege of the nobles of the imperial palace, plus the pixels and filters have improved a lot, so many beautiful girls can leave their most beautiful side after taking pictures, which is why the absolute beauty of the Republic of China period is endless, in fact, the Qing Dynasty also has beautiful people, but we do not have the opportunity to see.
