Special hairstyles in Early China

图片
Everything in ancient Chinese fashion was handmade - dresses, hats, jewellery were without machine. Rich and poor of all kinds wore handmade clothes, but the rich people were very rich and the poor people very poor. The society then was not so hectic as today's and many women had more time to devote to fashion - especially wealthy women. A rich woman may spend more than 3 hours a day having her maid design her special hairstyle. Unlike in modern Taiwan they did not leave the house so often and if they did it was in a sedan chair, not on a motor scooter. Thus it was not  necessary to wear a helmet that would destroy their hairstyle. Instead it would be protected from the rain and sun. So their hairstyles could be very complex and elaborate. We can see some examples below.

 

  工業革命之前,人們用純樸的方式生活。生活中的任何器具都是手工製作,包含刺繡的衣服和鍋碗瓢盆等。因為皆為手工製作,故雖物質的產量不如今日豐富,但其精細程度,卻遠超越今日。

  因古代貧富差距大,富人可從一般人間獲得廉價的人力和時間,故當時上流社會的衣飾和髮型,可達到巔峰造極之作。古代富有人家的女人可花三小時以上,請梳頭傭為其設計華麗的髮型,這些貴婦人也無須為生活操勞,所以特殊和誇張的髮型並不會妨礙她們的生活。

  部分地區的婦女,為配合特有的地區風土,會有屬於當地的特殊髮型,如一字頭或是三把頭等。可謂當時的地方時尚。

  可惜工業革命和現代化之後,這些古代精緻的設計已不復見,取而代之的是短髮、燙髮、直髮,乾淨俐落,容易整理適合現代社會生活型態的髮型。
