How did women in Song Dynasty pursue the "beauty of personality" in hair accessories?
The economy of the Song Dynasty is unprecedented prosperity in the history of our country, and the economy determines the ideology and culture, so the Song Dynasty also gave birth to different aesthetic concepts. From the cultural relics unearthed in the Song Dynasty, we can see that they do not pursue the gorgeous costumes, but low-key luxury and simple colors. For example, in the hair accessories of women in the Song Dynasty, women's gentle and implicit beauty was pursued, and elegant hair accessories were preferred to colors with excessive color saturation.

First, women in the Song Dynasty especially liked to wear something called a crown on their heads. This crown is somewhat similar to the hat worn on their heads, but this hat is made up of various beads, flowers and other decorations. Take the bead crown worn by women in Song Dynasty as an example. This crown is made of beads and some jewels and emeralds. Most of these beads are worn by women at adult ceremonies, so they are also a ceremonial crown. Because the cost of making this crown is relatively high, it is generally a luxury that only upper-class women in the Song Dynasty can have. It can also be seen that the feudal hierarchy of the ceremonial crown is very strict.

Second, some poor families can't afford expensive hair accessories, so there will be hair accessories called hairpins. Ordinary people basically wear these three types of hair accessories. As we all know, hairpin is very common in ancient times, which is used to tie hair and fix hair accessories. Moreover, in the poems that appeared in the Song Dynasty, hairpin was also used to express the femininity of women. However, Sheng is rarely known to modern people. It is a flat hair accessory, which is generally carved into various shapes with metal sheets. The last kind of comb is a comb, which is essential for women's haircut and hair setting in Song Dynasty. Sometimes a delicate comb is inserted on the top of the head as decoration. It can be seen that women from all walks of life in the Song Dynasty loved beauty very much.

Third, the economy determines aesthetics. Because the economic strength of the Song Dynasty is relatively strong, women in the Song Dynasty can also buy all kinds of things to a certain extent without being soft. No one can beat you in fashion. The simple and elegant beauty that she is popular is also popular in our contemporary society, and people are tired of seeing that magnificent jewelry.
