The palace pink plum, carmine plum, green calyx plum, and beauty plum blossoming in spring are like a scroll painting. Yesterday morning, citizens who had heard about the event gathered early among the plum groves. “Now is the perfect time to appreciate plums, and with plum blossom makeup and Hanfu, it's absolutely wonderful, instantly turning you into a person in the painting.” In this themed charity event, Xu Weiqing, a member of the Chinese Artists Association and the dean of Suzhou Xiangxue Painting Academy, was invited to apply plum blossom makeup, paint plums in Hanfu, and hold a plum appreciation meeting. A series of wonderful programs were performed one after another, “recreating” the elegant scenes of literati life during the Song and Yuan dynasties among the plum blossoms.
Sagittarius has always been a constellation of many talents. Their “intensity” when pursuing goals is similar to that of Capricorn's strong self-discipline, and both constellations become very individualistic “ancient-style beauties”! The Sagittarius girl's outfit is very much like a heroine from an ancient costume drama, while Capricorn is dressed in the standard attire of ancient royalty, wearing a golden crown and a simple white Hanfu adorned with plum blossom patterns, looking like a princess of royal descent. The two together can't help but make people imagine a “Princess Escape Story”! (laughs)
The Jiufeng Mountain Plum Garden, where the event took place, is currently one of the largest plum gardens in Zhejiang Province in terms of area and variety. Every year when the Jiufeng plums are in full bloom, it attracts a large number of tourists. Photography enthusiasts and literati have left behind a large number of exquisite photos, videos, and poetry. This plum festival integrates three highlights: plums, national trends, and Song Dynasty charm, launching a variety of activities such as Lantern Festival fairs, intangible cultural heritage folk displays, and Hanfu experiences, making visitors feel more involved, experienced, and interactive. The plum festival will last for a month, with different kinds of excitement every week.
Is this what you're talking about? That is called “flower diadem makeup.” Ancient women would wear a decorative piece called “huadian” on their foreheads between their eyebrows. This type of makeup is also known as “hua zi,” “face flowers,” or “stickers.” It is a small decoration pasted on the forehead and face. During the Song Dynasty, plum blossom makeup was still popular. Wang Zao wrote in “Drunken Flower Soul”: “Through the curtain gap of a small boat, a beautiful woman half-exposed her forehead decorated with plum blossoms.” Don't go for overly complicated Hanfu hairstyles, just pile on some hair accessories, and keep the makeup simple. Also, try to avoid wide sleeves; narrow sleeves are more convenient. Don't let the skirt drag on the ground, as washing it would be really frustrating. Most importantly, treat yourself as an ordinary person, and wear Hanfu the same way you would wear modern clothes. For ancient men, they should highlight their aloofness and heroic spirit. You can slightly angle the eyeliner, draw the eyes slenderly, add a wheat-colored skin tone, thicken the eyebrows, preferably using a brown eyebrow pencil, and don't use false eyelashes, as it would reduce the sense of heroism. Just curl the lashes and apply something to make them denser.
