Embroider my skirt, everything is four or five.
My feet are on tiptoe and my head is shining.
If the waist is flowing, listen to the bright moon.
Peacock Flying Southeast is a picture with words in Han Dynasty. The tragic experience of that beautiful woman named Liu Lanzhi earned tears of sympathy when we were teenagers, but I never understood that before her mother-in-law kicked her out of the house, she had to dress up and put on earrings & shy- Mingyue. What kind of treasure is the bright moon? The Chinese teacher didn't tell me.
With the growth of experience, Erzan, as a jewelry label in the Han and Wei Dynasties, appeared more and more in my field of vision, such as Xuan's "Is there a woman?" In the Southern Dynasties, Liu Xiaozhuo's poem "Sluts Show Their Behavior in Shang Qi Plays" said: "Beauty should be mixed, and guests should be lured"; In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Wang Rong wrote in his poem "Di Nv": "Baoji is bright and fragrant, and Luo Xiang Yu Mingpei"; Deeper. I know her expectations.
It is the earliest definition we can find, but the two thousand-year-old terminology explanation lacks scientific norms and spirit, which still puzzles us. Fortunately, two thousand-year-old beauties expected that we would have today's doubts. They brought their beloved things into their graves one after another, so that we could travel through just visiting today and feel their crazy fashion at that time.
There were many thick burials in the Han Dynasty, and many artifacts were unearthed. A thing with a length of 2-3 cm and a diameter of 1 cm, which is similar to the shape of a modern waist drum, was corrected by archaeologists as "Jun" or "Truth". Obviously, the mystery was finally solved. Looking through the archaeological report of Shaogou Han Tomb in Luoyang, it is recorded in detail that there are 19 "* * *" in Han Dynasty. There are two types: the first type is round, with a small upper end and a large lower end, a waist as thin as a trumpet and a hole in the middle. This type * * * unearthed 12 pieces, the colors are dark blue, light blue and green, all of which are translucent. The second type, like a horn in the middle, has a conical upper end and beaded lower end, and has no holes. There are seven pieces of this * * *, all of which are colorless and transparent, as good as today's glass ... "
The shape of the bright moon is beyond doubt: the two ends are big and the middle is thin, like a waist drum. What is the bright moon? It is estimated that ears are made of transparent and shiny materials, and the material itself has the brilliance of the moon, so it is called the moon. Most of the earplugs found in archaeology are colored glaze, glass, agate and jade. These materials do have a bright moon-like luster after polishing, and it is no exaggeration to be called the bright moon.
As for the way of wearing ear devices in the Han and Wei dynasties, the beauty has vanished, and there is nowhere to ask, so I have to guess for myself. Different scholars have different views. Some scholars believe that there is a hole in the middle of the ear, which can be passed through with a rope and hung under the earlobe or at the end of the hair. Actually, otherwise, we can understand that if we directly tie the ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear with a rope. Is it crazy and unreasonable for modern people who scream when they make a pinhole-sized hole in the earlobe with a laser? It is also from this point that some scholars have misunderstood the way earplugs are worn.
But our beautiful women in the Han Dynasty are really so crazy. Earplugs are big at both ends and thin in the middle, just passing through the earlobe and being sandwiched in the earlobe. As mentioned in previous archaeological reports, earplugs have two shapes, one with a hole in the middle and the other without a hole, which is directly stuffed in the earlobe; Ear retort with holes in the middle can also be hung with ropes in the middle, such as pendants made of bells, pearls and jadeite gems. This form of ear retort is also called "er". Shu Ren Harada, a Japanese scholar, included a picture of an ear retort in Hanfu Six Dynasties, which was marked as "Unearthed from Wang Xu's Tomb".
At present, the origin and popularity of ear piercing is widely accepted in Liu Xi in the Han Dynasty. Liu Xi said in his dictionary of noun analysis "Ming Shi": "Piercing ears and casting pearls are called piercing ears. This was originally done by barbarians. Barbarian women are frivolous and easy to walk, so they are also hammered. Today, the people of China are also effective. " I thought this statement was not credible, but later Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism accepted it and spread it widely, which met the requirements of their moral theory. What's more, it is said that "traitors are silent and disorderly." It's true, ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear-ear.
Since the Han and Wei Dynasties, Buddhism has prevailed in the Central Plains. The spread of this fashion in Buddhist murals will definitely affect secular living habits and aesthetic habits. It is not surprising that the habit of wearing exaggerated ears was popular during the Han and Wei Dynasties. In addition, today, among the minority women in China, such as Yunnan and Guizhou, they still have the habit of wearing earrings with their ears enlarged, and so do some indigenous tribes in Africa. Ears become bigger, wearing jewelry is not only a woman's patent, but also a man's favorite. Their purpose is very simple, that is, to decorate, to make themselves more beautiful and attractive, and to attract more attention, just like our modern fashion.
Prosperity is bound to decline, and so is fashion in ancient times. After the Sui Dynasty, ears were rarely mentioned in the Tang Dynasty, and unearthed cultural relics were not common. In the paintings of ladies in the Tang Dynasty and the tomb murals in the Central Plains (except the western region murals in the Tang Dynasty), we can also see that most women in the Tang Dynasty did not wear earrings. Although there are still vivid poems, such as "Oh, this message is for you, this pair of jade earrings! I see a lone goose in a cloud three thousand miles away. Four-character sequence of Li Penglao, a poet in Song Dynasty;
Blue soup is cool at night,
Luan chai half makeup,
The red scarf is tired and the snow is fragrant.
Break the lotus room and bet on doubles.
Luo Jun,
Get out of bed,
The moon moved to the west wing,
Count the fireflies on the wall.
Although the beautiful image of "Yan" can also be seen in the text, it is mostly the recollection of literati. The shadow in real life is no longer the shadow of the Han Dynasty. It has gradually evolved into another form of ear nail, and the aperture of ear hole has also been reduced to an acceptable level for modern people. For example, in the sixty-third chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, there is a description of the other side's crown gold pendant: "The root of the right ear has only a jade plug the size of rice grain, and the left ear has a hard red gold pendant the size of ginkgo; The more you look at it, the more like a full moon, and your eyes are as white as autumn water. " This form of jade plug earrings still retains the genetic genes of the ears in the Han Dynasty and has been passed down to this day.
