The lives of the ancients may be more decompressed than we think.
Chen Ming, a court painter during the Qing Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties, painted a silk color painting "Yueman Qingyou Atlas", which depicted the palace concubines' 12 months of deep palace life a year.
Set against the backdrop of the monthly climate change, it depicts the palace ladies and their hostesses traveling in and out of the courtyard.
The content of the concubines' activities is actually accustomed to the folk, but the content and form are more noble, cumbersome and canonical.
Yes, Qianlong liked it and gave it an inscription
Interject a sentence of Wen knowledge, the life of non-royal celebrities still depends on the Song Dynasty!
Because the Song Dynasty was the most prosperous era of economy, culture and education in China's history, reaching the peak of feudal society, the degree of people living and working in peace and contentment far exceeded that of the Han and Tang Dynasties in front of it and the Ming and Qing dynasties behind it.

You can play Doucha first. First put the tea powder into the tea cup, pour boiling water, mix it into a paste, and then use the tea basket to blow out the foam. According to the rules of tea fighting, whoever has a whiter color of the tea soup and the tea foam sticks to the tea cup for a longer time wins.
At the same time, the water marks are mainly based on the morning and evening time when the water marks appear, to judge whether a tea is good or bad. The later the water marks appear, the better, and the sooner the worse.

The "Record of Dream Liang" records that "burning incense and ordering tea, hanging pictures and flower arrangements, four kinds of idle things, not suitable for the family", which shows its popularity.
Unlike treading green and polo, flower arrangement is a pure women's salon, and in the spring, the girls wear flowers and branches, and then fiddle with the bouquets in their hands and gather together to arrange flowers.
In the records, this kind of flower basket flower arrangement was also popular at that time, which was quite modern.

The foundation is made of lead powder, which is made of plaster, talc, and mussel powder, and the eyebrow pencil is made of ink stone.
Girls from poor families would replace thrushes with charred branches or charcoal.
Lipstick is often made by celebrities themselves, using cinnabar and beeswax, the color number is different, according to the number of cinnabar to decide, everyone will have their own special color number.
In the process of production, you can also pass off a lot of idle time.
In July, Tong Yin begged.

Because of the rise of hanging paintings, people at that time also began to like to frame and preserve the calligraphy and paintings, leaving many heirloom works.
In December, Tread on the snow in search of poetry.
