The harem concubines are particularly ugly in the old photos of the Qing Dynasty? That’s because you haven’t seen the beautiful
Western photographic technology was introduced to our country in the late Qing Dynasty, and it was sought after by the elites of the upper class. The royal family of the late Qing Dynasty also handed down many photos, among which the photos of the harem concubines were huge Pay attention, but there is a big difference between the beauty of the maidens in the Qing palace drama, so many people think that there are no beauties in the late Qing Dynasty. In fact, everyone has misunderstood that there are real beauties in any dynasty, but they are only in the late Qing Dynasty. The photography technology is too backward.
The imperial embroidery of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi, has always been questioned, but the empress's graceful appearance is still very beautiful, she was also praised as a star queen by many foreign envoys, which can explain For her beauty, the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty likes to take pictures very much, and she likes to take pictures with the concubines of the harem and the aristocratic women of the Manchu Dynasty. In these old photos, it is true that many concubines in the harem don't look good.
Actually, the draft of the Qing Dynasty is not a beauty pageant, so many of the concubines in the harem are of middle-aged people. Compared with their appearance, the family background and blood of the other party are more important when drafting. It is normal for the concubines of the harem to be less beautiful than the folk women, and the photographic technology in the late Qing Dynasty is indeed very backward, and it is easy to take pictures of people ugly, so the old photos we see do not represent the true appearance of those people.
During the period of the Republic of China, the photographic technology was improved and improved. Everyone also found that there were many beautiful female stars and amorous ladies in the period of the Republic of China. In fact, this is all due to the improvement of photographic technology. In the photos handed down during the Republic of China, not only the pixels are much clearer than in the Qing Dynasty, but the filters also look softer, so it can capture the true beauty of women. There were many beautiful women in the Qing Dynasty, but we didn't have the chance to see them.
