What do you think of the female appearance of the late Qing Dynasty Qinglou?
Most of the Qinglou women in the Qing Dynasty were beautiful people with good faces and full of talent. At that time, the Qinglou women were very fashionable, and many people could already pose, lying on their sides on the chair, holding a cheek in one hand and holding an object in the other, full of classical temperament. But now people look at this photo, feel that the woman is holding something like the current mobile phone, the Qinglou woman is really fashionable, a hundred years ago will be "selfie".

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the regent Zaifeng and his wife
Group photo of Guarjia
Zaifeng and Guarjia were personally married by Empress Dowager Cixi, and The father of The Guarjia clan was Ronglu, the chancellor of the Prime Minister. Because it was Empress Dowager Cixi who pointed out the marriage, the wedding specifications of Zaifeng and Guarjia far exceeded the wedding specifications of the prince, and were completely in accordance with the specifications of the crown prince marrying Concubine Fujin.

Three girls of the same age have their own different destinies!
The girl sitting in the middle is dressed exquisitely,
The most recognizable is her three-inch golden lotus,
It shows that she is the daughter of a large Han family
。 Close to her is her attendant,
It can be seen that she is not wrapped in her feet, because she has to work for the young lady to run errands!
The other girl was showing a pair of big feet, not even shoes to wear, obviously inferior, in that era they could not even afford to buy shrouds, I don't know if it was joy or sorrow?
It can be seen from this that in feudal and old society the class level was quite distinct, and even the beards had to be divided into three, six, and nine grades, so the fate of the poor was completely out of their own control. Compared with the three girls in the picture, the current girl has truly achieved liberation from turning over, as if she were living in a honeypot.

Poignant child brides-in-law
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, newlywed young couples, generally child brides-in-law were baby girls and young girls raised by in-laws, and they stayed until they became adults and officially married. Child brides-in-law became almost a common phenomenon in the Qing Dynasty. The girls were very young, some of them reached the legal age of marriage in the Qing Dynasty, and they also stayed in the in-laws' house, waiting for the young son-in-law to become adult. Child brides-in-law generally stay until they are fourteen or fifteen years old to get married, but from the photos, you can see that the newlywed couple is still just a child.
Every night, the child bride has to personally help her husband bathe, pour the night pot, sleep next to him and take care of him at any time to prepare for the night
The beautiful name of "cultivating feelings" is actually to wear away the self-esteem and shame of these girls.
Even some husbands look down on their old and fading daughters-in-law after adulthood and find new lovers
。 At this time, the child bride can only endure silently,
Lonely and bitterly serving their husbands and their husbands' new pleasures, for them, there is no difference between them and widowhood.
And because of their status, they have no right to resist.
