The tradition of red makeup can be traced back to the earliest days of civilization, where cheeks were painted with cinnabar and other substances in a rather rough manner, which later gradually became more delicate. In the Qin Dynasty, palace ladies wore red makeup and green eyebrows, a beautiful style for the ladies of the court. In "The Song of Ming Jun" by Emperor Wu of Liang during the Southern Dynasties, it is written: "Who can bear to look into the mirror, holding it to reflect the red makeup." This refers to Wang Zhaojun wearing red makeup. Since then, red makeup has almost become synonymous with young women in poetry. In a poem by Prince Xianwen of the Liang Dynasty praising a beauty's makeup, it says: "Shy and reluctant to come out, she still says her makeup is incomplete. Green eyebrows broaden, rouge spreads across her face." In "Watching Lanterns" by Zhang Xiao Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, he wrote: "In ten thousand households, the light of candles shines; every door opens to reveal red makeup." Young ladies would not forget to apply red makeup even when watching lanterns on the Lantern Festival. In "Parting Thoughts" by Yuan Zhen, it…

Girls typically let their hair grow and tie it into small topknots or braids. This is similar to the hairstyles seen in the '86 version of "Journey to the West" episode "Crossing the Heavenly River," where Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie transformed into a boy and a girl. The hairstyle for the boy in the show was a tuft of hair left after shaving the head, with four tufts in front and on either side. For the girl, the hair was tied into two horns, which is what the ancients referred to as "chuitiao" (垂髫) and "zongjiao" (总角). Because children's hairstyles in ancient times were relatively simple, they could represent the child's age. For example, "chuitiao" refers to children aged four to seven or eight years old, while "zongjiao" represents children aged seven or eight to fourteen years old. Hanfu, although it is part of our domestic traditional culture, still has many safety hazards in design. For instance, the hem of the skirt is too long. Children under seven generally like to run and jump, and a long hem can easily be stepped on, leading to falls that might result in fractures or concussions. There was once an incident online…

In this article I’ve complied a list of six of the most well-known, most influential, and most well-written works of Chinese mythology and folklore. This is based on my own research, so it may…
