The story I read is about a female official looking at the candidate's hair when the emperor of the Han Dynasty chose a princess. The ancients paid attention to their parents' body and skin. If they hadn't cut their hair, it wouldn't be fake. When I was seventeen or eighteen, my hair was very long, but those women were very cultured, so folk women didn't know if it was the same. In the Tang dynasty, towering hairstyles, such as cloud bun and horse bun, were popular in the court, and it is estimated that some hairpins were needed to support the hair. The place that is particularly difficult to roll up is a small bun made of wig, and then fixed to a certain part of the head with a hairpin. I once saw a documentary about modern Japanese geisha combing their hair. Because modern people's hair is generally short, wigs are used to make it look fluffy. However, there is a movie called Tale of Genji, in which the length and thickness of Japanese women's hair are also considerable, so it is estimated that wigs are not used much. o(∩_∩)o ...
There is also a picture of a beautiful lady with a hairpin by Zhou Fang, a painter in the Tang Dynasty, which also reflects the graceful hairstyles of aristocratic women in the court at that time, but it is not as beautiful as in TV series.
