A Manchu lady in the late Qing Dynasty. In recent years, the dramas of the Qing Dynasty are particularly popular, such as The Story of Yan Xi Palace, Love in Ruyi Palace and The Queen of the Palace, which are deeply loved by the audience. When watching TV series, the costumes of court women in Qing dynasty, that is, Manchu ladies, are also particularly noticeable.

A woman dressed as a Manchu nobleman. Is the heroine's dress in the TV series consistent with the image recorded in these old photos? The woman in the photo has big wings on her head, gorgeous clothes and flowerpot shoes, which is a typical Manchu lady image.

Ms. Mongolia. The popularity of the Qing Palace drama also gave the audience a wrong impression. Many people think that women in the Qing dynasty dressed like ladies in the court, which made the mistake of generalizing. Due to the differences of nationalities, regions and traditions, the styles of women's clothing in Qing Dynasty are varied. Just like this Mongolian lady, she dresses boldly and domineering.

Su Huang's family is deeply influenced by American culture, but when she got married, she still wore Ms. China's traditional clothes-coat and horse face skirt. Bu Ji Fang wore the official clothes of Qing officials.

From the outside, the woman on the left is a Han woman, wearing a coat and wrapped in "three-inch golden lotus"; The woman on the right wears pipa armour and does not bind her feet.

Fujian women are washing their feet. This life scene reveals an important message. Although the wind of foot-binding is prevalent among Han women, one group is lucky to get rid of this tragic curse, that is, Hakka in Fujian and Guangdong.

1900, a woman who was attacked by Eight-Nation Alliance soldiers on the street in Beijing. The woman was bound with little feet, so she was caught by evil allied soldiers. She covered her face with her hands. She must be scared! There are two women behind, tiptoeing away in panic.

The young woman on the sofa, though beautiful, has a pair of sad eyes.
