First of all, we can start with its makeup and clothing. Many people know the age of costume drama through official explanations, but this drama is judged to be from the Tang Dynasty by its makeup and costumes.
In terms of makeup, most of the makeup in the Tang Dynasty likes white makeup, so most girls' faces are relatively white and their blushes are also very distinctive. As far as clothing is concerned, girls in the middle and late Tang Dynasty like to wear long sleeves and "chest-length skirts" and some rich and gorgeous clothes. On the other hand, men like t-shirts.
In addition to makeup and clothing, they are also very careful in their manners. They used a fork-hand ceremony that we rarely see in other costume dramas. When subordinates meet the supreme ruler, they are called "saints", not "Your Majesty".
In addition to the portrayal of characters, the background of the play is also very close to reality. The background they shot is real, so the whole play is real and more deeply rooted in people's hearts. Businessmen who come and go to do business make Chang 'an very lively. We can also see from the play that Chang 'an is generally not allowed to go out at night, but it is allowed because it is Shangyuan Festival.
It is precisely because of this that we can see that although Chang 'an is lively on the surface, there are many reasons for the decline of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the face of businessmen and crowds coming and going.
On the whole, this is an excellent work and worth seeing.
