Men's make-up has existed since ancient times. I don't like it, but I can respect it After all, it is a personal habit.
Men's make-up became a fashion in Han Dynasty. When Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty was in power, waiters were not allowed to work without makeup. Love of beauty and makeup is not the patent of modern people, nor is it the patent of women. The ancients also paid great attention to appearance. In ancient times, both men and women often needed to dress up when attending banquets or meeting guests.
In the Han Dynasty, the materials used for male makeup were similar to those used for female makeup, but the makeup procedure was much simpler. From the historical records, they pay the most attention to skin color, and the white face is the most important. Generally, powder coating is the most popular technology. Male powder application in Han dynasty was a normal skin care process at that time.
According to historical records, not only men in the Han dynasty could make up, but also men had higher requirements for whitening in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Cao Zhi, the son of Cao Cao, also loves beauty. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, a guest came to visit, just before Cao Zhi got dressed after taking a shower, so the guest waited for him in the lobby, and the result was more than an hour.
By the Tang Dynasty, the production technology of cosmetics was more mature, and men not only applied facial fat, but also took orally fat and other skin care methods became popular. Skin care, such as oral fat, which was popular in the Tang Dynasty, was different from the requirements for whitening in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The Tang Dynasty paid more attention to skin care and skin health. Oral fat in Tang Dynasty is similar to modern lipstick. Prevent chapped lips.
Since the Song Dynasty, the fashion of men's make-up has gradually weakened, which is due to the rise of Zhu Neo-Confucianism and the moral constraint of "keeping natural principles and eliminating human desires". In this way, men in Song Dynasty loved to praise flowers and paid little attention to facial care. In the Song Dynasty, no matter rich or poor, people could wear a flower on their heads, which could be a seasonal flower or a fake flower made of gold and silver.
In fact, everyone loves beauty. If it's just a personal habit, you can respect it if you don't like it. After all, makeup is also a kind of freedom, and the choice lies with everyone.
