After watching the three thousand beauties of the harem in the Qing palace drama, and then look at the harem concubines in the old photos of the Qing Dynasty, everyone will definitely feel very disappointed, and even sympathize with the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The concubines in the photo are not only not overwhelmed Appearance, on the contrary, looks a bit ugly, so many people think that there are no beautiful people in the Qing Dynasty, but this is not the case.
Each era has its own aesthetics, and there are many talented and beautiful people in the Qing Dynasty. The reason why the old photos we see are a bit hard to say is actually because the camera technology is relatively backward, and the pixels at that time are not clear enough Coupled with the shortcomings that black-and-white photos will magnify, people are not used to taking pictures, their expressions and movements are very stiff and naturally not photogenic.
The clothing and hairstyles of women in the Qing Dynasty were originally different from those of previous dynasties, and they did not fully show the beauty of women, so many people are also ugly by these hairstyles and clothes, and now many Qing palace dramas The actresses in China are not as good as those of other dynasties, and the concubines of the Qing Dynasty do not need to be outstanding.
The draft system of the Qing Dynasty is not a beauty pageant. They value the family background and pedigree of the beautiful women. The beauty is not important at all, so many harem women are not as pretty as ordinary folk women. The emperors of the late Qing Dynasty like to find women to accompany the people. It would be too one-sided to judge all the women of the Qing Dynasty through the appearance of the concubines in the harem in the late Qing Dynasty.
The last emperor Puyi's empress Wanrong and the imperial concubine Wenxiu have a large number of photos handed down. Many people think that Wenxiu and Wanrong have the same value. In fact, both people are better than photos in real life. It looks good, especially since Wanrong arrived in Tianjin and began to change her look. She was a hundred times more beautiful than when she was in the palace. Many foreign ministers called her the star queen.
During the period of the Republic of China, there were many outstanding women in Fanghua, and there was a lot of time between the Republic of China and the late Qing Dynasty, so why did women's appearance suddenly increase so much? In fact, because of the improvement of photography technology, the pixels of the photography technology during the Republic of China are clearer, and the filters are also softer, so the women are very photogenic.
The women of the Republic of China no longer wear bulky flag dresses, but wear slim and graceful cheongsams. Their hairstyles have also been changed, so that they can better reflect the graceful and soft beauty of oriental women. , And the camera technology and the photographer’s skills have improved, which also allowed the female Fanghua of the Republic of China to survive, and it is still very amazing to see now.
