Rich Artistic Connotation & Historical Background:

In ancient China, hairstyles and headdresses were an essential part of a woman's identity.

These were not just for aesthetic purposes but also to signify their social status.

Due to the relatively lower status of women in ancient China, their hairstyles and headdresses were simpler.

However, on special occasions such as weddings or banquets, women would don elaborate dresses and exquisite headdresses to showcase their beauty and nobility.

One of the most famous examples is the black wig headdress worn by classical Chinese princesses.

This headdress was typically made from black wigs adorned with gold threads and jewels.

It not only made the wearer look more beautiful but also indicated their high status.

The headdress was popular in ancient China, especially among the royal court.

Many emperors and nobles loved to wear luxurious clothes and exquisite headdresses to display their grandeur and authority.

Therefore, the black wig headdress of classical Chinese princesses became a significant cultural symbol representing the beauty and nobility of ancient Chinese women.
