  1. "Makeup box" is a disappeared word. Even the modern Chinese dictionary cannot be found, it is not easy for the young people today. However, it has been accompanied by Chinese women for thousands of years and has become the most close and favorite commonly used by ancient women. In today's words, it is a "jewelry box". The jewelry boxes of the ancients were mainly used for dressing and dressing boxes.

    From ancient times to the present, how many women's moods and sorrows are rich in the small makeup box! Among them, the most moving story is to push the legendary legend "Du Shi Niang's Angry Breakthrough Box". Jiangnan prostitute Du Shiniang, in order to compete for personal freedom, quietly stored jewelry in his flesh career, found Ruyi Langjun to redeem, married, did you know that during the sailing, the husband who was forgotten to sell his hand to sell Be a small concubine for the rich, and push her into the fire again. Over the years, the fate of insulted and damaged has accumulated a strong desire for freedom, and waited hard. She was crushed by all her hearts. She was extremely sad and angry. Liancheng's jewelery was thrown into the river one by one, and then jumped down, and was swallowed by the turbulent flow. This story starts with makeup boxes and finally makeup boxes.

    What is this makeup box installed? From the more than 2,000 collections, the "Makeup Box" selected the traditional silver jewelry from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China, which was made into exquisite. The version of the version gives readers to fully play and appreciate it.

    This is a favorite collection, because it has become history, it belongs to the time of the past, it is difficult to appear again in reality; Historical ruins can be recalled, and the disappearing history is resurrected in front of them.

    The most of the collection is 簪 and 钗, which is a decoration used by the ancients to bundle hair. Han women like to comb the hairstyle of braids. The long hair is held on the head, fixed with one or more crickets, and the diversity of the buns and the diversity of 簪 brings colorful decorative effects, which is pleasing to the eye. This long short 以, with gold, silver, jade, bones, wood as raw materials, is engraved with fine engravings, inlaid with various jewelry. From the emperor's relatives to the farmers' women, they have no such thing as expensive, but they all have their own puppets, but those who are valuable show their wealth and status of the holder.

    The 簪 钗 is not only an decoration, but also connects with the ancients. This is also known as "女". The woman is fifteen -year -old. If she is married, she wants to make a haircut. It is called "upper". The men's twenty lines of the year "crown ceremony". The ritual of adulthood is to knot and wear crowns on the top of the head. Two small holes are left on the left and right sides of the crown. The man must pass the "crown ceremony", and the woman's "ritual" can be said that the marriage will start an important turning point in life. Sulun women do not need to insert a puppet, usually the hair cluster is bundled on both sides of the head, combed into a tree or animal angle. The reason why the ancients called the "total corner" of childhood, the girl called "girl", and her name comes from her childhood hairstyle and hair accessories. Nowadays, people often use "old -fashioned with the monarch" to express their loving couples. They are old -fashioned, and their allusions come from the Book of Songs: "Gentlemen are old, deputy Liu Jiajia." Jin Yu is decorated, so the last sentence of the gentleman's old age is "Deputy Six Jia", which is used to describe the headpiece of the ladies. Women are naturally a lover. Regardless of their humbleness, they often use "skirts". They represent themselves with skirts and crickets. The twelve heroines in "Dream of Red Mansions" are called twelve golden crickets in the world. It can be seen that the ancient men and women from childhood, adulthood, marriage, to old age, the title of each stage and wishes at all stages were related to the small crickets. Everyone has a family. Everyone's hairstyle and jewelry can be so closely related to the Chinese people's life, which is rare in the world.

    This cricket can also increase the gait of women's graceful gait. There is a kind of mule drooping bead chain, connected with a filamentous gold and silver or bone stick, and inserts it on the plate tremblingly. Walking down, it is called "step shaking", vividly showing the image of the lady from the money.

    "Skirts" have their own female husband, the first female general in China, and a good woman in the Shang Dynasty four thousand years ago. The Quartet, the spirit of the world, is enough to show her power to command thousands of horses. It was unexpected that in her tomb, there were more than twenty exquisite jade crickets, as many as 490 pieces of carved bones, and one big makeup box! There are also wonderful buns and crickets. This reminds people of the military Mulan also have the story of "flowing the mirror". It turns out that Chinese women are not "do not love red makeup and love forces." Military "red preferences."

    This buns are the beauty of hair. Because the hair is located at the most prominent position of the first end of the person, it can also show the human body's literary talent. Therefore China and abroad are the same. Perhaps European women in the 18th century, with the tall buns, thin waist waists, and a bell -like barrel skirt, won our favorite. Do n’t you know that the buns of European women in the 15th century, the 15th century, turned out to be a clever “bonsai”. On the head is hunting, mill, fortress, warship shapes, and even constructed into a population of cattle and sheep. To make such hair styles, two pounds of hair wax, three pound powder, more than ten meters of tulle, hundreds of hair insertions, this is not a show of others, but the popular fashion of society. , Comparing each other, the buns are more plastic and higher. This is really incredible! Is it so loaded on the head, can you sleep firmly? Originally thought that there was no point in this family, and the high buns of the ancient Chinese did not show weakness. There is a woman in the Five Dynasties, and the hair buns on their heads make a giant phoenix. The height of the bun is more than twice as long as the face. However, the Chinese do not need to send wax, but use shampoo. This is a mucus made of special wooden strips as thin as paper, and then fixed with various types of crickets, it can make Jufeng sitting peacefully above the head. The shampoo is a water agent. The pupae can be inserted. It is far more than the hair wax, powder and yarn piled up. It is easy to clean and remove makeup. This is easy to put on makeup and makeup. It is the clever creation of Chinese women.

    It to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chinese women's buns are really beautiful, such as peony heads, lotus heads, bowl heads, fallen horses, Suzhou Jue, Ping three sets, dual -plate, double plates, rounds, circles髻, Baba head, Shuangfei 巴, etc., each type of buns has different shapes with different shapes, through various processes such as molding, hammer forging, carving, hollowing out, tired silk, gold plating, dotted green, etc. Fruit wood, poultry beasts, character fairy, piano and calligraphy, piano and calligraphy, four treasures, landscape clouds and other patterns. The Manchu woman also has a flat and long square -shaped fixed hair accessories called "flat square", engraved with auspicious text, and placed the hair on the top of the flat square. This is two heads. wing.

    In fact, the jewelry in the makeup box is not limited to the crickets for dressing, as well as 璎, other needles, necklaces, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, collars, earrings, rings, jade pendants, etc. There are corresponding decorations in various parts of the body. Why only say that "jewelry" does not say that his decoration is based on the first jewelry, which is related to the changes in Chinese decorations. The aesthetic concepts of the ancient Chinese are focused on heads and faces, and the other parts are covered with wide clothing. The chest is also flattened by the chest. Makeup and shaping hairstyle are particularly loved by women. With the development of society and the change of aesthetic concepts, the focus of decoration is also changing. Modern women rarely make buns, and the puppets naturally have no place for martial arts; the neck is exposed, and the decorative effect of the necklace is prominent; Products are also popular. However, no matter whether it is ever -changing or jewelry, this comes from the title of the ancient aesthetic consciousness, but the style is still the same, otherwise what is the necklace and annesses. n Due to the limitation of the collection, "Makeup Box Box" does not have gold but only silver 簪. Golden crickets are more expensive and more refined than silver 贵, so the silver is slightly inferior to Golden. Only in this way, silver belongs to the civilian class, and exactly vividly express the dressing of civilian women.

    The era development to this day, modern women may enjoy more abundant and fancy makeup decoration products than ancient times, but don't forget that handmade production is always unique, because it is not a model -based mechanical production, but people Seeing individual creation. Each silver cricket shows different personalities due to the different styles and methods of the producer. It is rare to be similar. The superiority of this hand -made creation is fully displayed here.

    "Makeup Box Box" can be called a treasure box. It opened the beauty of the ancients decorated for modern people and is worthy of appreciation. Unfortunately, the text part of the book is too small, just a simple explanation, and the research skills are still insufficient. It is commendable that the author has done it with data collection and sorting as a research.
