2008-08-13 - 中国古代美女


来自何方:山东艺术团

妆容意义:有网友说,她人很美,但是嘴角边的两颗小黑痣完全破坏了美感。其实那不是黑痣。而是唐朝妇女的特殊妆容。
面颊两侧的是面靥(靥,就是酒窝的意思,“笑靥如花”大家听过吧)

       面靥(面靨)、靥钿
  古代妇女面部的妆饰。唐代刘恂《岭表录异》卷中:“鹤子草,蔓生也。其花麴尘,色浅紫,蒂叶如柳而短。当夏开花,又呼为緑花緑叶。南人云是媚草,採之曝乾,以代面靨。”
(额头上贴的应该是花钿)
关于花钿的起源,据宋高承《事物纪厚》引《杂五行书》说:南朝“宋武帝女寿阳公主,人日卧于含章殿檐下,梅花落额上,成五出花,拂之不去,经三日洗之乃落,宫女奇其异,竞效之”。因故称之为“梅花妆”或“寿阳妆”。
贴花钿成风也是在唐朝,这种化妆方式又称花子、媚子,施于眉心,形状多样。它并非用颜料画出,而是将剪成的花样贴在额前。用来剪花钿的材料,记载中有金箔、纸、鱼腮骨,鲥鳞、茶油花饼等多种,剪成后可收藏在妆奁内。最有意思的是,甚至蜻蜓翅膀也能用来做花钿!如宋人陶谷所著《潸异录》上说:“后唐宫人或网获蜻蜓,爱其翠薄,遂以描金笔涂翅,作小折枝花子。”可见古时妇女的化妆方式不仅丰富,而且别出心裁,不拘一格。
  
  花钿的颜色有红、绿、黄等,以红色居多,花钿的形状除梅花状外,还有各式花鸟虫鱼,十分美妙新颖。化妆时用呵胶(相传用鱼鳔所制,呵气或沾水就有粘性)将它贴在眉心处。有的还在花钿上装饰各种缕金图案。
