Many people think that the eyebrow makeup in "Painted Skin II" looks like a Japanese geisha. actually not. As we all know, a large part of Japanese culture inherits traditional Chinese culture, and the same is true for eyebrow makeup.
The eyebrow makeup of Xiaowei in the play was popular in the Tang Dynasty in China, about the third year of Tianbao, which is around 744 AD.
This year, a relatively famous event occurred in Chinese history. Yang Taizhen and Yang Yuhuan were intervened in the palace by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in this year, and he was named a noble concubine the following year.
Concubine Yang Gui has a plump figure and a beautiful face. Very pleased with the emperor. The imperial concubine was fond of thrush, and she often changed her makeup from day to day, and invented many methods of thrush, which made the emperor very fond of it. Therefore, Emperor Ming of Tang also specially ordered the painter to draw the "Ten Eyebrows" according to the eyebrow style created by the imperial concubine.
It is said that the ten kinds of eyebrow makeup in "Ten Mei Tu" are mandarin duck eyebrows (also known as eight-character eyebrows), Xiaoshan eyebrows (also known as Yuanshan eyebrows), Wuyue eyebrows, Sanfeng eyebrows, drooping bead eyebrows, and moon edge eyebrows (also known as but eyebrows). Moon eyebrow), divided into Shao eyebrow, Han Yan eyebrow, Fuyun eyebrow (also known as Heng Yan eyebrow), dizzy eyebrow.
Among them, the most famous is "Xiaoshanmei", because Wen Tingjun, a writer of Tang Dynasty, has a saying "the hills overlap with gold and bright, and the clouds on the temples want to cover the snow." Therefore.
"Ten Eyebrows" is now unavailable, but we might as well imagine the peerless elegance of the beauty in Tang Dynasty.
In addition, in the comments of the first few pictures, some classmates said that Xiaowei's eyebrow style is the Japanese "Maru eyebrow". This is also a wrong perception.
The Japanese Maru eyebrow style has only two dots near the center of the eyebrows, while Xiaowei's beauty is a looming area of ​​Qingdai behind the dots. Moreover, the eyebrow style of Ma Lumei is also a special eyebrow shape for men, and women do not use it.
The eyebrow shape of Xiaowei in the play is probably one of the "crescent eyebrows" in Chinese classical eyebrow makeup.
Let's take a bold guess, maybe it's "Han Yanmei" or "Changzhumei" or something.
As for many people, it is said that Xiaowei's shape is exactly the same as that of a woman in the Heian period in Japan. Everyone should know that the elegance of the Heian period in Japan imitated the charm of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Even the Heian Kyoto was built on the model of Chang'an City.
