Method for make nut flour fat by ancient women

1, makeup powder. The powder used by the ancients was mostly selected from "rice noodles". Besides rice noodles, there is also lead powder. Generally, white lead is turned into mushy facial fat, sucked dry, ground into powder or made into a solid state, which can be painted into a clear face when used. Although it is toxic, it seems that women even risk their lives to "hide their ugliness with white" and take a small amount of arsenic every day to achieve the whitening effect from the inside out.

The face is being powdered, which was called fu powder in ancient times. In ancient China, women used powder for a long time, which was the most common way of continuous makeup. According to Tang Zi, Tang Huangming gives Yang Guifei's sisters a powder fee of up to one million taels every year! Li Yu, a dramatist in the early Qing Dynasty, had unique views on the essentials of handling Fu powder. He believes that when selling powder, women are "completely clean, and beautiful people use it to enhance their beauty", "white people can make it white" and "adding white on black is to make it black", which clearly illustrates the relationship between makeup and aesthetics. What's more interesting is that the ancients also linked makeup methods such as puffing powder with moral cultivation, pointing out that beauty should be combined with cultivation. For example, Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty thought: "Taking photos and plastering is intended to think about the purity of the heart, applying powder, thinking about the sum of the heart, adding powder, thinking about the freshness and smoothness of the heart, using a comb, thinking about the reason of the heart, bun, thinking about the righteousness of the heart, and taking the sideburns. This observation not only has many viewpoints, but also has profound implications.

2, powder. During the Warring States period, there was no specific material for eyebrows. Women burned their eyebrows with willow branches and painted them on their eyebrows. Then there is Dai, a hidden cyan mineral. Before painting, you must put Dai on the inkstone and grind it into powder, then add water to blend.

Thrush is the most popular and common makeup method in China, which was conceived in the Warring States Period. Qu Yuan wrote in The Songs of Chu: "White is white, black is black, and only flowers are used." "Black" refers to a thrush with black in it. In the Han dynasty, thrush became more and more common, and the more you painted, the better you looked. "Miscellanies of Xijing" wrote: "Sima Xiangru's wife, Wen Jun, has an eyebrow that looks like a distant mountain. When she was young, she painted a distant eyebrow." This means drawing your eyebrows long, curved and green, as beautiful as a distant mountain. Later, it was developed to use thrush, which was also very popular in the court. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the popular thrush was wide and short, shaped like laurel leaves or moth wings. In Yuan Zhen's poem "Don't draw long eyebrows and short eyebrows", and Li He's poem also said that "the new laurel is like a flying moth eyebrow". In order to make the broad eyebrows not look lifeless, when women draw eyebrows, they all smudge the color of the eyebrows evenly, which is the so-called "smudge eyebrows". Another is to draw the eyebrows very thin, called "thin eyebrows". Therefore, Bai Juyi has a sentence of "indigo has fine eyebrows" in "White-headed Man in Shang Yang", and he also describes "the only petal is like her face and a willow leaf is like her eyebrows" in "Song of Eternal Sorrow". By the time of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the ways of inserting eyebrows were even more colorful. Ten kinds of eyebrows were well-known in the classics: Yuanyang eyebrow, Xiaoshan eyebrow, Wufeng eyebrow, Sanfeng eyebrow, Zhumei eyebrow, Yuemei eyebrow, Split eyebrow, Smoked eyebrow, Blowing eyebrow and Inverted eyebrow. There are so many paintings of eyebrows alone, which shows the strong love for beauty in the past.

3, rouge. This thing has been around since the Shang Dynasty. This is an old lipstick. The raw material is a flower called "red and blue". You can also mix makeup powder as blush to sell. Later, people added bovine bone marrow, pig pancreas and other things to this red pigment, making it a dense oil. The oil of rouge will have real significance in the future.

Lipstick was called oral fat and lip fat in ancient times. Oral fat is scarlet, which can add simplicity to lips and give people a healthy, young and energetic impression, so it has been loved by women since ancient times. The degree of this kind of love can be seen from the book Guan Baizhi in the Tang Dynasty, which reads: "In Lari, I presented oral fat, facial fat, head cream and perfume bag to the North Gate Bachelor, and the oral fat was filled with Bluetooth tube." It is written here that oral fat is packed in carved ivory tubes, which shows how precious oral fat is in many cosmetics!

There are many ways to fill your mouth. China used to think that a small mouth was a "small cherry mouth". For example, Cen Can, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said in "Poems of Drunk Fight Ren Mei": "A little peach blossom on your lips."

Before it was sold in Tang Chaoyuan in 2000, due to the influence of Tibetan costumes and makeup, there appeared "crying makeup" and "tears makeup", which, as the name implies, turned makeup into crying and was called "contemporary makeup" when it was sold. The poet Bai Juyi once described in detail in the poem "Contemporary Makeup": "Contemporary makeup comes from all directions and is popular far and near, with no ink on cheeks and no powder on cheeks. The lips are black as mud, and the eyebrows are painted low. The makeup is black and white and looks like crying. " This kind of makeup is not only unsightly, but also gives people a strange feeling, so it soon goes out of fashion.

Sandalwood was also popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and sandalwood was light crimson. Qin Kan, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, sang in Nan Ge Zi: "Rub the blue skirt and apricot skirt, lean on the jade fence alone, and have nothing to say to touch your lips."

This color of oral fat is still popular until modern times. But whether it is cinnabar or sandalwood, we should choose to use it according to individual differences and conditions, and we must not pretend to be beautiful.

In addition to the above three commonly used techniques, there are many special effects of accessories and makeup, such as:

An ornament worn by women in the old days.

This makeup method, also known as flowers, face flowers and decals, is a kind of small whitewash that sticks to the eyebrows and face.

As for the origin of the flower bud, according to Song Gaocheng's Miscellaneous Five Elements Book quoted from Hou Ji, in the Southern Dynasties, "Shouyang, a female in Song Wudi, was the male master, and there was a chapter under the eaves of the temple every day, and the plum blossom fell on her forehead, and it opened five times without brushing. After three days of washing, it fell, and the ladies-in-waiting were different, fighting for a result. " I don't know why it is called "plum blossom makeup" or "Shouyang makeup".

In the Song Dynasty, plum blossom makeup was still popular. Wang Zao chanted in "Drunken Flowers": "There is a gap between the curtains of the boat, and the beauty is half exposed to plum makeup, reflecting flowers like seal cutting."

It was also in the Tang Dynasty that decals became popular. What is the bud made of? In ancient times, the materials for making flower buds were very rich, including gold foil, paper, fish scales and camellia cakes. The most significant thing is that dragonfly guerrillas can also be used as flower buds! For example, "Dream of Louis" written in the Song Dynasty said: "In the late Tang Dynasty, the imperial court or the net got dragonflies and loved their delicate green, so they painted their wings with golden pens and made small flowers." It can be seen that the makeup methods of ancient women are not only redundant, but also unique and eclectic. The colors of flower buds are red, green and yellow. And there is a saying in Mulan Ci that is familiar to the public. In addition to the plum blossom shape, there are all kinds of birds, small fish and ducklings, which are very beautiful and fresh.

Frontal yellow

Frontal yellow, also called crow yellow, is being painted on the forehead. This kind of makeup is no longer used now. It originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and was popular in the Tang Dynasty. According to China Women's Decoration, this decoration is related to the popularity of Buddhism. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism was in its heyday in China. Some women, inspired by the gold-lacquered Buddha statues, have gradually become a habit to paint on their foreheads. Jian Wendi's "Article" in the Southern Dynasties said: "About the yellow energy efficiency month, cutting gold and making stars clever." The yellow mentioned here refers to the makeup method of yellow forehead. When the forehead yellow was popular in the Tang Dynasty, Wen recited the sentence "The forehead yellow is an endless sunset mountain" in the poem, and Li Shangyin also wrote: "Shouyang bears wear makeup when they get married, and the eyebrows in the eight-character palace hold the forehead yellow." In the Tang Dynasty, Niu Monk-ru also described the story of the goddess Zhi Qiong putting on makeup on her forehead. When the forehead yellow was still popular in the Song Dynasty, the poet Peng sang: "There was a woman named Jingmu, and pearls fell on her temples and painted yellow." All these reflect that ancient women like the scene of yellow foreheads.

In ancient times, cosmetic objects also had a nice name-"makeup". The dowry culture in China has a long history. In the past, it was known that people wore Shellmon's dental ornaments around their necks by "stopping water and judging capacity, bathing in running water" and "looking in the mirror at dawn and mending their lips at dawn". Don Zhu Qing said in the rest of the poem: "After makeup, I ask you in a low voice, and the thrush is deep and shallow." Everyone has a love of beauty, all the time.

In the ancient society, which was exaggerated to the point that women were "unable to leave the house and enter the second house", "women are happy with themselves" is undoubtedly the greatest pleasure and concern for women. Although there are differences in social scenery, economic system, morality, fashion and people's feelings in each dynasty, the definition of beauty is not the same. Whether the ring is fat or thin, beautiful or beautiful, varies from person to person, from time to time and from place to place. Especially in ancient times, women's social status was low and they depended heavily on men economically. Their tenure is chosen by men, and many wives and concubines are monogamous and compete with each other. In this case, women want to have more disadvantages, and the beauty of appearance is naturally the most basic and important condition.

Natural beauty is not for everyone. Therefore, most women can only add their own style through artificial makeup, so as to win a different favor, and they themselves get some psychological satisfaction in the process of makeup.

Ancient women paid great attention to the beauty of skin. Fine skin is the basic condition of beauty and an important standard to measure women's beauty. One or two things can also be seen from the literati's descriptions of beauty, such as "soft skin", "skin like ice and snow" and "ice muscle jade bone".

In addition to the beauty of skin, the ancients also paid great attention to the beauty of hair, combing, cherishing and storing more without cutting it every day. In the early days, it was hung on the shoulders at will, and later it was tied with a rope because of the actual need. Later, it gradually developed a variety of bun styles, which changed so much that wigs were used to add styling and beauty to the head as far back as the Zhou Dynasty.

Scholars speculate that the most basic reason why people valued skin and hair in the past should be related to ethics. "The body is a skin injury, trusted by it, dare not damage. Filial piety is also the beginning. " However, in addition to ethical concepts, I think aesthetic familiarity and health needs are also very important reasons.

Therefore, women in ancient China had various skin care products suitable for different needs. The efficacy of skin care products is basically based on coverage and defense. The wise ancients are adding some prescriptions to them, increasing their therapeutic efficacy. As for the method of use, it is nothing more than external use and internal use. The way of maintenance can also be called colorful. As for how the women in the royal courtyard stay young forever, it is quite secret. Official communities are scrambling to see if there is a secret recipe circulating. Women who are chasing the forefront of fashion imitate and infect fashion at an alarming rate, which has been the case since ancient times.

In terms of cosmetic accessories, ancient women surpassed contemporary women. It's not just this way that makes them colorful. They painted their faces, painted their cheeks with rouge, trimmed their eyebrows and decorated their lips, so that they put colorful flowers on their foreheads, adding a beautiful effect. What is more affectionate is that they calmly face their makeup and sit in front of the bronze mirror, which is particularly leisurely and beautiful, instead of the feeling that women are always busy with makeup, making up in the car and on the road.

Most cosmetics used now are chemical preparations, which have no healing effect for the time being. Many cosmetics can also stimulate the skin mucosa and cause allergies, so that some famous products are harmful to cancer. Nowadays cosmetics often do more harm than good to women.
