Ancient women's makeup and hair are varied and charming, which perfectly shows the delicate posture of women. Hair bun is an important part of traditional Chinese culture, and there are thousands of types of hair buns.
Each dynasty, each dynasty in different periods, women of different identities and the same woman will comb different buns in different periods of life, which is not only the expression of ancient women's love of beauty, the embodiment of oriental aesthetics in people's hairstyles, and the carrier of the characteristics contained in ancient society.
Although the ancient hair bun varieties are diverse, it does not mean that women can comb various types of buns anytime and anywhere, and the buns of ancient women's combs are more considered.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, the difference in hair bun between the noble relatives of the emperor and the common people</h1>
1. The hair bun style of the upper class
In ancient society, the feudal hierarchy was strictly ordered, and the differences between noble women and commoner women were more obvious, of which the difference in hairstyle was a very important aspect.
The most typical is the high bun of the aristocratic women in the upper class of the Qing Dynasty, the high bun of the bun combs all the hair, can not be scattered, and then add gold and silver jewelry to the bun.
Such a bun was not allowed to be groomed at will in the Qing Dynasty, and only women in the imperial palace could use this noble bun. This hairstyle is due to the fact that the Qing rulers are ethnic minorities, which is a bun from the traditional aristocratic women's hairstyle of the Jurchen people, so some commoner Han women cannot comb it.
There is also a type of bun that can generally only be combed by the upper class of the bridesmaids, which was founded by a certain concubine, and later generations rushed to emulate it. For example, the Ling Yun Bun, the favorite of aristocratic women in the Qin and Han Dynasties,
It is a kind of high-style single beard that embodies the noble elegance of women, which was first created after the first emperor's edict, and was mostly combed by the queen concubines in later generations, plus phoenix crowns, mostly used in the grooming and wearing of major gifts.
Although the distinction between the hair buns of noble women and the hair of commoner women was not absolutely strict, it changed in every period, dynasty and environment. But in general, some special buns are also a form of expression that can represent the status of social status.
2. The style of women's buns in ordinary people's homes
The hair bun forms of ordinary girls or women are actually not so colorful because of the restrictions of living conditions, which is why the bun will be clearly divided into two large parts.
Most of the buns combed by civilian women are simple, time-consuming, and inconvenient to wear jewelry, because they usually have to work, and high-style buns are not chosen by most ordinary women. These aristocratic women often combed their high hair buns, which needed to be used with wigs or some delicate gadgets.
Therefore, the women of ordinary people's families do not have extra money to buy the hair ornaments used to comb their hair in their daily lives, so the hair bun style that is really suitable for ordinary women is actually relatively single.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, the hair of women who are raised in the deep boudoir and have been married</h1>
1. Bun of an unmarried woman
Most of the unmarried women are dexterous and lovely figures, with their hair hanging down and scattered, while married women will comb all their hair up after putting their hair in a bun, leaving no hair hanging down to symbolize that they are already married. This is the most common difference between the hair buns of married and unmarried women.
On this basis, the type of unmarried women's bun is not small, and it is a symmetrical hairstyle to comb more than that of young girls or children.
The hair on both sides is coiled, and then a strand of hair is naturally sagging, and these two strands of hair are flexible and flowing, fluttering with the wind, as a symbol of the innocence of the girl, as a representative of the girl who is not out of the cabinet.
After marriage, the woman can no longer keep this bun. 2. After becoming a woman, you need to change the style of the bun in ancient times, and the hair has a deeper meaning, the so-called hair couple, bun crown, etc. are related to the hair.
The same is true for women, under the ancient feudal society, women must tie their hair after marriage, and pull their hair into a bun that will not fall off, so as to always show their married status.
In fact, men are the same, but men generally have their hair tied up during the crowning ceremony. Women also have fifteen hair buns during ceremonies, but this is relatively uncommon.
In ancient times, married women tied their hair in buns and inserted hairpins to represent that they had been married, although this was a constraint on women's self-dressing, a manifestation of injustice, but on the one hand, it was a symbol of wisdom and wordless declaration of their identity.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, in the historical and cultural enrichment of the hair bun type</h1>
1. The bun in the prosperous period is bold and luxurious
In the history of China's ancient feudal society, the most prosperous nature is still the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, which is manifested in the politically enlightened economic prosperity of foreign trade, and the cultural scene of openness and inclusiveness, especially the great integration of national culture.
Such a prosperous, open and inclusive Li Tang Dynasty, women's hair buns also show a different style.
During the Tang Dynasty, women's hair buns were mostly high-style buns, and Tang Dynasty women liked to wear heavy makeup, and the buns were also in line with the atmospheric style of the prosperous scene of the Tang Dynasty.
For example, Yang Guifei's favorite bun is to comb her hair into a ponytail and coil it together, and tie a rope ribbon in the middle of the vertebrae, shaped like a horse's belly.
This is a relatively tall, relatively large hair bun, decorated with large flowers or step shake gold noodles and other modifications, looking graceful and luxurious. The height of the Tang Dynasty women's high bun can reach a foot high, and behind it is the symbol of the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
2. During the period when confucianism was severely imprisoned, the hair bun was gentle and virtuous
The Confucianism of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty developed to a new height, and the Song and Ming Dynasties under the Song Ming Theory placed more emphasis on the Three Principles and Five Constants and the Three From Four Virtues of women. There has been some change in the social status of women.
Song Dynasty women have always appeared in the eyes of the world as gentle images, slightly powdered, delicate and gentle, and the most representative is the Song Dynasty poet Li Qingzhao.
Her outfit is very different from that of Tang Dynasty women, and like most Song Dynasty women, Li Qingzhao prefers a light, natural small bun with simple hair ornaments.
Of course, as a transitional stage in the Song Dynasty, there are still many aristocratic women who like to comb high buns, but on the whole, they are much lighter than the Tang Dynasty.
The bun of the Song Dynasty was the favorite of commoner women, and it was also the most commonly used bun, that is, simply combing the hair into a bun and then wrapping the bun with a colored cloth or handkerchief, tying it into a flower shape, and decorating the ornaments according to personal preferences.
This kind of bun is simple and simple, and it is not easy to scatter, which is more suitable for civilian women.
There is also a more playful and cute hair bun that reflects the lively and simple shape of the girl's three buns, which is the favorite hair ornament of the Song Dynasty girls, and also well reflects the gentle and subtle characteristics of the Song Dynasty women.
In the Ming Dynasty, the absolute monarchy was further strengthened, including the ideological despotism of the people, and the types of women's hair buns were no longer as numerous as in the previous dynasty.
A kind of double screw bun of the Ming Dynasty Jiangnan women is very characteristic, meticulously combing each strand of hair, and then combing it into the style of the screw bun, simple and generous, mostly used by folk women or ya rings.
The noblewomen prefer the peony head, which is also a kind of high bun, but the peony head combed by the noblewomen during the Ming Dynasty is different from the appearance displayed by the Tang Dynasty, and the noble women in the Ming Dynasty comb the peony head have a sense of majesty and solemnity, and are seriously bound by etiquette. The Qing Dynasty was even more of a matter of feudal monarchy reaching its peak, and its imprisonment of women was even more severe. The two-handed comb of the Qing Dynasty women's mid-period comb is fixed.
Insert valuable jewelry, and the Qing Dynasty flower pot bottom shoes to take care of, restrain women's actions, so that women often need to stand up and raise their abdomen, stabilize their necks and heads, and not make playful movements at will to reflect modesty and stability. 3. The richness of the hair bun style reflects the changes in social development Ancient women's hair buns have undergone certain changes with the changes of the times, the change of dynasties, the change of like style, and the change of mainstream social thought.
The bun culture is originally part of the ancient traditional costume culture, which is inseparable from culture, economy and politics.
The number of bun styles is generally increasing, because almost every dynasty will inherit the political, economic and cultural development of the previous dynasty. Therefore, the traditional culture of the Chinese nation will be so brilliant and colorful.
In terms of style, the style of the bun has developed from light and dignified to graceful and luxurious to solemn and luxurious, reflecting the trend of feudal society from weak to strong and finally to weak.
If the Qin and Han Dynasties were the starting point of China's feudal society, then the Tang Dynasty was a peak, and the Qing Dynasty was the end. The style and style of the bun can also reflect the degree of economic development of the corresponding era.
The Tang Dynasty prospered in foreign trade, domestic prosperity and prosperity, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the style of hair bun was also diverse, and it was more ostentatious, more open and free.
The process of social change behind the change of the little girl's hair bun is very large, which is probably the charm of traditional culture. Summarizing the ancient women's hair bun culture is a very large and important part of the ancient Chinese traditional costume culture.
Each kind of bun has its representative time, connotation and even background, so in China's feudal society, the bun has not only been a hairstyle, but also a symbol of women's various identities in various periods.
In addition to the aesthetic value, the ancient women's bun also reflects the delicacy of ancient women, the pursuit of beauty, and also reflects the bondage and imprisonment brought to women by the ancient feudal hierarchical society.
There are good parts of the culture behind women's buns and there are also parts with limitations, but in itself, as a representative of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, it is worth inheriting and carrying forward.
However, in the process of inheritance, it is necessary to abandon its limitations and show some of its beautiful contents to show the beauty of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation.
