At that time, Zhen Xuan, Hua Guifei and Empress were welcomed for their roles in Yongzheng's biography, where they received tributes from Persia. At that time, these concubines, who were used to looking at precious gold and silver jewelry, were very excited when they heard that they had been given a screw, which showed that the screw was more precious than those gold and silver jewelry.
It is said that these mother-of-pearl powders are made of stone, because the eyebrow powders used in ancient times are all made of natural materials. Mother-of-pearl is made of celestite, which is a very precious stone, usually produced in the Persian generation. Because of the limited mining technology at that time, very little lapis lazuli was mined every year. It is convenient to grind these lapis lazuli very finely, filter and shape them, usually in the shape of threads, or put them in a screw shell, and just dip them in water when using them.
At that time, in the Qing Dynasty, ordinary women painted eyebrows with bronze hairpin, which was made of bronze rust, so the color was generally a little red. The mother-in-law is extremely blue and black, and the color is excellent. It also looks good on her eyebrows. Therefore, concubines are willing to use spiral lions to draw eyebrows, which can look more beautiful. Mainly at that time, concubines had nothing to do, and their first task was to please the emperor. Using the mother-in-law can make the emperor like and pamper himself, which they have always dreamed of.
Of course, it is not so mysterious to look at the snail's hair now. There are many kinds of eyebrow powder, all kinds of colors, and they are all made of stone, and the quality and price are affordable. But at that time, women who loved beauty longed for it but could not reach it.
