A true reflection of the beautiful women in the late Qing Dynasty: how charming they are, as it is shown in the last portrayal

As a result of the closed-door policy of the Qing government at the end of the Qing Dynasty, western civilizations and science and technology were introduced into China far behind what it should be, including the photography technology. When it was first introduced into China, it had been mistaken by the public as a witchcraft that can take people’s souls away. Therefore, people hardly dared to stand in front of the camera, which makes it hard for us to catch a glimpse of what people really looked like in the late Qing Dynasty. However, with the acceptance of photography, people were willing to leave their own appearance on the film, among which there are many breath-taking beautiful women.

These time-honored photos of the late Qing Dynasty reflect the most real living condition of the people at that time. We all know that the women of the Qing Dynasty had no choice but to accept the tradition of foot binding. Pathological aesthetic as it were, women in the photos seemed to be somewhat vulnerable, and even the young girls in their prime time scarcely had any vitality.

Even the wives and concubines of the dignitaries of the Qing Dynasty were deprived of confidence, as they were somewhat nervous and timid in front of the camera with poor little feet trembling. Seeing these people who ever existed before, we cannot help but to be congested with regrets. It was quite difficult for these poor women to live their own life with these unbroken shackles.

The well-dressed woman permitted herself a mirthless smile. Charming appearance and well-proportioned figure as she had, she could not show herself confidently.!

A royal princess who looks stunning even for today without any aggressive gesture was well endowed with tenderness and elegance. But I do not know if such a beautiful woman has caught your eyes?

A beautiful woman who ever held up the time is so impressive for us, as we can touch the feeling of desolation and loneliness from her ocean-deep eyes in a screen-distance away. I do not know if she was waiting for her sweetheart desperately or she was fretting about whether seeing her sweetheart brought about surprise or not. After seeing these beautiful women, do you have any different understanding of the women in the late Qing Dynasty?!
