  • The use of #hairpieces was a common practice throughout #Chinesehistory.
    Ancient Chinese people treasured their hair greatly. People wouldn’t get haircuts unless they were forced to. So what were the #hair pieces made of?
    I'm wearing Tang Dynasty style hanfu Qixiong Ruqun, learn more about it here:
    • How to Wear Hanfu | Qi...
    Hanfu, meaning Han Chinese Clothing, or as I'd like to call it Han Couture, is what ancient Chinese people wore for thousands of years.
    Traditional Chinese Clothes changed from dynasty to dynasty and there exists hundreds of variations.

    I always thought when thinking after watching historical cdramas "people back then must have lots of nice black hair..." finally I found out it was not all Real🤣

      Hahah, I always believed they had hair pieces because malnutrition cannot fight balding. I mean we can't even reserve much baldness with our technology now 😂
      And people didn't change much in terms of how bad we want to look good all these years

    Actually, a lot of hair pieces also came from Buddhist nunneries from the hair cutting ceremony for new coming nuns

      Oddly enough a great amount of modern hair extensions come from Indian temples during spiritual hair cutting ceremonies as well

      Looks like you doesn't know anything about ancient Chinese dynasty. Before Buddhism introduce to china. Feudalism was the form of government of the xia and Shang dynasty. The law of Shang dynasty when punishing woman who commited crimes was to humiliate them. Their hair will be shaved in order to teach them a lesson.

    • @masterkoi29
      @masterkoi29 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      In order for the woman during the ancient Chinese dynasty to not be humiliated by their neighbors. Woman from that era, created a WIG which comes from a horse hair to hide their being baldness

    I like Chinese movies so I’ve always wondered how they created such beautiful hair with such big and tall looks . This video was so interesting 🧐

    • @jiaunmew878
      @jiaunmew878 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You should have seen one in the Chinese museum. They displayed one metal shape of a tall stair so the wearer can make three tier hair stack one over another. It’s crazy. At first I had thought it was a weird hanger with no hook.

    Thank you! I kept looking at the gravity-defying Tang-dynasty hairstyles and thinking, they must have used SOMETHING to support them back then. I mean, I know that these days, the hairstyles in the dramas are mostly wigs, so I wondered how the ladies did it back in the day. I knew that Han Chinese did not cut their hair, and many of the great beauties were described as having hair that reached the floor, so when you have that much hair it's easy to tie it up into these great hairstyles, but they had to have something else that they wrapped their hair around to make it stand up so high. You have proven to me that they did. Thank you!

    The same is true in Europe during periods when elaborate hair was in fashion of both men and women often wire framework was employed as well has human and horsehair inserts not to mention full wigs.

    Man chinese people were just way further than the rest of the world.
    While everyone was still beating stones together they worried about their hair :)
    It is really cool to see some part of history that we never spoke about in school. It is really hard to find an entry point to learn about chinese history, so I am just kind of all over, but it is very interesting.

    What do the various different styles of hairpieces or adornments represent as far as rank is concerned? Do Noble Consorts wear hairpieces different from Consorts or Concubines? Does the Empress wear a certain type of hairpiece or crown that the others in the harem cannot wear? Thanks!

    Thank you! Love your costume. 💕.
    My granny told me a ghost story about fake hair in ancient time. Once there was a worker worked in the memorial home for the Yamen. Where they house dead prisoners or corpse with no identity house till the family claims the body back. The worker sold the hair from dead lady with no identity to another lady. One night the spirit of the dead lady came to her and said. “Please return my hair to me.” The lady who bought the hair couldn’t take it off fast enough and screamed and fainted afterwards. The end.
    Hope you like the story. 😊
