BEIJING, July 8 (Yuan Xiuyue) On the 8th, the Disney live-action movie Mulan made its debut. As soon as the trailer was released, Liu Yifei’s makeup caused a heated discussion on the Internet.

　　In the film, Mulan was arranged by her family to go on a blind date, and she was carefully dressed from clothes to makeup. However, Mulan’s makeup seems a little out of line with modern aesthetics. A red face, a yellow forehead, black eyebrows, and red flowers painted between them. Some netizens commented that such makeup could not even hold up the "fairy sister".

　　Then, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, how did women make up, and what popular makeup did they have?

　　There is a cloud in Mulan Poetry: "When the window is decorated with clouds, it will be yellow for the mirror." Among them, "flower yellow" refers to forehead yellow makeup. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, influenced by Buddhist culture, women took the makeup of Buddha statues as beauty. Some women were also inspired by the Buddha statue and painted their foreheads yellow. In poetry and prose, the forehead yellow is also called crow yellow, pistil yellow, about yellow and flower Huang Zhi.

　　For example, in the poem "Three Butterflies" by Li Shangyin, "Princess Shouyang wears makeup when she marries, and the eyebrows in the eight-character palace are yellow." Liang Jian Wendi Xiao Gang’s "Beautiful Women" also said: "About the yellow energy efficiency month, cutting gold and making stars skillfully."

　　In addition to painting the forehead yellow, there are yellow hard paper or gold foil cut into patterns and pasted on the forehead. Because it can be cut into stars, moons, flowers, birds and other patterns, it is also called "flower yellow". In Chen Houzhu’s "Picking Lotus Songs", there is: "Note the mouth with the appropriate cleverness, and the flowers will be yellow."

　　In fact, as early as the Warring States period, women began to apply powder and makeup. After the Han dynasty, the number of people wearing red makeup increased day by day. In "Mulan Poetry", there is "A sister hears that her sister is coming, and she will manage the red makeup." The raw material of red makeup is rouge, which is mixed with lead powder and rice flour and applied to cheeks. There are faint red makeup, peach blossom makeup and oblique red makeup.

　　In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was plum blossom makeup, that is, plum blossom-shaped makeup was attached to the forehead. It is said that Princess Shouyang, the daughter of Emperor Wu of the Southern Song Dynasty, was lying on her back on the seventh day of the first month. The plum tree in front of the temple was blown by the breeze, and a plum blossom fell right on the princess’s forehead. The forehead is stained like a petal, and it can’t be washed away. Seeing this, women in the palace followed suit and cut plum blossoms and stuck them on their foreheads. Later, plum blossom makeup gradually became a fashion.

　　During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, women attached great importance to face makeup, and developed a variety of styles, including white makeup, purple makeup, Buddha makeup, crow makeup, half-face makeup and so on.

　　White makeup is to apply white powder to the face, not rouge, and pursue the beauty of elegance. Purple makeup, as the name implies, is to apply purple powder to the face, which is made up of rice flour, Hu powder and sunflower juice. Buddha makeup is similar to forehead makeup, except that the whole face is painted yellow.

　　During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, some weird makeup styles were popular, such as crying makeup and half-face makeup. Crow makeup is to apply powder under the corner of your eyes, just like crow marks. Half-face makeup is only half-face, which comes from Xu Fei, the concubine of Emperor Liang Yuan.

　　In fact, whether it is forehead yellow makeup or red makeup, it reflects women’s pursuit of beauty at that time, leaving an indispensable stroke for China’s makeup history and an infinite imagination space for us today. (End)

Leaders at the meeting presented ribbons to the representatives of retired college students, commended their contributions to the national defense cause, and encouraged them to keep their true colors as soldiers and actively integrate into campus life.

　　According to reports, in the past three years, Xiangtan University has sent 192 high-quality soldiers to the army, and a number of meritorious service recipients and many outstanding retired students have emerged. The school has successively won the national "advanced unit of national defense education" and "advanced unit of conscription work in colleges and universities in Hunan Province".

　　In order to serve the retired college students and make them better integrate into campus life, in June last year, the school, Xiangtan Veterans Affairs Bureau and Xiangtan Military Division built the first home for retired college students in Hunan Province, focusing on conscription, military training, national defense education and voluntary service.

　　Liu Qijun said that in the next step, the school will closely rely on the platform of joint construction between the school and the local army, fully grasp the opportunity of joint construction, and earnestly do a good job in the service guarantee for retired college students to return to school, so that retired students can better adapt to the school environment and integrate into campus life; I hope that all students will cherish the opportunity, study hard, and repay the care and love of the troops and schools.

　　Recently, the 996 working system has aroused social concern. The so-called "996" refers to working from 9: 00 am to 9: 00 pm, working 6 days a week, with a minimum working time of 72 hours a week. According to the provisions of China’s labor law, the state implements a working hour system in which workers work no more than 8 hours a day and 44 hours a week on average.

　　The trend of 996 working system spreading from internet companies to various industries is worrying. Many workers are trapped by this working system and forced to become "overworked generation" in endless overtime. This means that in the state that the 996 working system has become a hidden rule in the industry, even if you choose to change jobs, you still can’t get rid of the overtime curse. It is the workplace that changes and the working hours remain unchanged.

　　The social harm of 996 working system is self-evident, which overdraws the health and energy of workers, damages the interest and enthusiasm of a generation for work, and then has a negative impact on sustainable economic development and social harmony. Perhaps at present, the number of enterprises implementing the 996 working system has not reached the majority, but in the public opinion field with the magnifying effect of the Internet, the dissatisfaction caused by 996 is immeasurable to the society. A few days ago, an article "In my parents ‘ 996’ In front of us, the news that Japanese young people choose low desire has aroused people’s concern, and we should be alert to the hidden worries behind it.
