As one of the most powerful dynasties in history, the Tang Dynasty had strong national strength and prosperous economy, which brought with it an open culture and strong self-confidence. In particular, women had a strong say and autonomy in the Tang Dynasty, which formed a sharp contrast with later dynasties such as the Song and Ming Dynasties. Based on this, women were very active in the Tang Dynasty. There were not only female emperors like Wu Zetian and Princess Pingyang, the only woman in ancient China whose funeral was held by the army, but also famous female poets such as Yu Xuanji, Xue Tao, and Liu Caichun... In this atmosphere, the women of the Tang Dynasty also led the trend of the times and were at the forefront of the times.

Where is the "strongest" fashion circle in the Tang Dynasty? Of course it's a harem! In order to win the emperor's favor, the concubines have used eighteen martial arts to create the latest trends.

The "Tang Dynasty Palace Music Picture" in the late Tang Dynasty depicts a scene of the banquet and music life of palace ladies in the Tang Dynasty. Although this painting is a little damaged, it does not prevent us from feeling that there are many beautiful women in the painting. It is not difficult to see that this is a banquet. There are fruits, vegetables, and wine utensils on the table. Some of the ladies drink, some have fun, some drum zither, and some blow sheng. This is probably the pastime of ladies.

I saw nine ladies sitting wearing chest-length skirts, with a silk cloak passing around their shoulders and lazily holding it in their hands. On the luxurious clothes, red silk and gold thread are intertwined to create delicate patterns, displaying the dazzling exquisite craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty. At a glance, it is obvious that the most popular pattern nowadays.

Let's take a look at the color matching. When we often say that "red matches green, you are so ugly that you cry", we probably ignore the premise of who will wear it. No, these ladies in the picture dressed in red and green color matching still wear this bold and fancy color matching to be full of fashion. There is no lack of sexiness in dignity and restraint in sweetness.

In addition to concubines, the queen also lived with princesses. Princess Taiping disguised as a man is often seen in film and television dramas. This is also a style of dress in the Tang Dynasty. The girls took off their gauze skirts, took off the flower hairpin, put on their gowns and boots, and wrapped them in black gauze. The simple and tough men's clothing contrasts with the soft femininity, which is refreshing. Therefore, if you see two figures with long robes and belts on Chang 'an Street, don't go up and call them "Langjun" casually.

In addition, in the Tang Dynasty, which was full of humanities and rich materials, the six palaces and costumes competed for each other, and makeup was also popular. To what extent should we pay attention? Emperor Minghuang of the Tang Dynasty awarded the sisters Yang Guifei in makeup fees of up to one million taels every year. As beauty bloggers who can lead the trend, they are indeed confident. There were also many types of makeup in the Tang Dynasty. In order to pursue originality, women in the Tang Dynasty also created "contemporary makeup" such as Hu makeup, crying makeup, tear makeup, and bloody makeup. However, these unaesthetic facial makeup were quickly eliminated. The dignified and elegant wine makeup, peach blossom makeup, and flying sunset makeup were passed down. They were also widely sought after due to the popular "Chang 'an Twelve Hours". It can be seen that no matter what era it is, people's understanding of beauty always has similarities.
