The day before yesterday I complained about the dragon robe of Song Zhenzong in "The Great Song Palace Ci". wrong! Far inferior to Wang Kai's "Lonely City Closed" . Today, let's talk about the phoenix robe inside.
In "The Great Song Palace Ci", the Queen Mother Xiao of Liao, played by Gui Yalei, wore a black phoenix robe. It is understandable that the wrong costumes were used in costume dramas, anyway, Chinese costume dramas have never paid much attention to costumes, not to mention that Gui Yalei played the Queen Mother of Liao.
But, shortly afterwards, a shocking scene happened. What kind of ridiculous story is
? What is the problem with the dress worn by the Queen Mother Xiao played by Gui Yalei? Let me talk carefully.
Gui Yalei played by the Queen Mother Xiao Xiao
The Queen Mother Xiao's phoenix robe refers to many ancient books? Wrong, only refer to the two Qing Dynasty paintings
. As mentioned earlier, in the Chinese costume drama market, if the costumes are incorrectly used, it is not considered a big mistake; moreover, the Song Dynasty costumes have repeated mistakes, and people have long been used to it; furthermore, Xiao The queen mother is the role of ethnic minority political power. According to the usual attitude of our ordinary audience, it is almost done. Who can be more real?
For example, in the boss's "The Yang Family", the Queen Mother Xiao wears such a dress. Right? Let's leave it alone, at least it seems so interesting.

However, regarding the "Dai Song Gong Ci", it is rumored that the drama "Water Army" released a lot of such information on the Internet:
Gui Yalei's appearance, because there is no historical data It can be referred to. Therefore, the costume designer of the crew studied a lot of literal descriptions of Khitan costumes, and after looking for various possible reference materials, they found that the Queen Mother Xiao drawn by Shen Rongpu was the most distinctive costume model, which was influenced by the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the Khitan elements are strengthened in the details, so the appearance of Gui Yalei in this play is the restoration and reproduction of the painting.
According to the statement in this passage, in order to restore the image and costume of the Queen Mother Xiao, the crew really spent a lot of effort. Not only did he study a large number of Qidan costumes, but also referred to the Queen Mother Xiao drawn by Shen Rongpu.
Shen Rongpu? Who is Shen Rongpu?
Shen Rongpu is a famous folk painter in the late Qing Dynasty. One of his most famous paintings has been seen in history textbooks since childhood:
"Thirteen Wonders of the Same Light" painting
This painting is the famous "Thirteen Wonders of the Same Light".
Everyone, please observe this picture carefully. Forget it, let me enlarge this picture for everyone:
"Thirteen Wonders of the Same Light" part of
Hey, why is the person on the left so familiar?
Have we seen a similar image somewhere?
Don't think about it, this person is actually the Queen Mother Xiao-maybe I have to explain it more clearly: this person was originally named Mei Qiaoling, a famous Peking opera artist in Wan Qing and one of the founders of Peking opera.
At the same time, he is also one of the "Thirteen Wonders of Tongguang". The character that Shen Rongpu painted in the painting "Thirteen Wonders of the Same Light" is the Queen Mother Xiao played by Mei Qiaoling.

By the way, Mei Qiaoling is a man, and Mei Lanfang is his grandson. In ancient times, the singers were usually men. The female roles in opera are basically played by men.
returns to the topic.
Let’s look at the Queen Mother Xiao played by Gui Yalei again:
pay attention to the headwear and clothing
Everyone pay attention to the difference between her and Mei Qiaoling: the hair accessories on the head of
seem to be relatively similar, and the lower body has similarities. For example, the clothes they wear are embroidered with "Tuanlong". To be precise, the former is a tuanlong, while the latter seems to be a "tuanhua".
Moreover, the Queen Mother Xiao played by Gui Yalei seems to wear a scarf.
What is going on here?

It turned out that the lower body of the Queen Mother referred to the book "The Drama Characters of Qing Shengping". The book
is a drama photo album specially drawn by the Qing court for the Empress Dowager Cixi. It is specially used for the Empress Dowager Cixi to watch when she is bored. This book basically covers all ancientThe appearance of opera characters.
As long as there is this book, the court troupe can make up according to the paintings in it. If it is pure makeup, this book is in hand, you can do it on you.
"The Drama Characters of the Qing Shengping Department"
Therefore, the so-called reference to a large number of materials and paintings in the crew's mouth is actually only two paintings. Moreover, these two paintings were painted by Qing Dynasty.
Since the dresses in "The Great Song Palace Ci" are wrong, what kind of dress would the Queen Mother Xiao wear?
Obviously, Li Shaohong's words cannot be believed.
She filmed "Daming Palace Ci" back then, although the dress and hairstyle were very inappropriate. But back then, at least it won with the quality of the plot, and in an era when the issue of costumes was completely ignored, a play like "Daming Palace Ci" was completely without any problems.
But time has passed. "The Twelfth Hour in Chang'an" turned out to be a surprise on the Internet, which also let the directors know the importance of Fu Hua Dao, so "Da Song Gong Ci" also began to promote their costumes to restore history.
However, if you don't say that this is the Queen Mother Xiao, I thought this was the Empress Fucha.
Everyone, please pay attention to the dress of Empress Fu Cha. This is the standard outfit of the Queen’s dress of the Manchu and Qing Dynasty.
is indeed very similar. Because Gui Yalei's style was actually designed by the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, there is such a saying: In the late Qing Dynasty, when Cixi was in power, in order to flatter Cixi, people designed the role of Empress Dowager Xiao to resemble Cixi, so Empress Dowager Xiao also wore the clothes of the empress of the Qing Dynasty. This statement of
is very reasonable. The Empress Dowager Xiao and Cixi are similar in that they have long held the government, but they are different from Wu Zetian. Therefore, the greedy meaning inside is obvious.
has said so much, what kind of clothes will the Queen Mother Xiao wear? There is really not much available for reference. However, there is a painting by Xiao Guanyin among the Muta murals in Yingxian County:
Xiao Guanyin The mural
Xiao Guanyin was the wife of Yelu Hongji of Liaodao Zong, and she was also a famous female poet at that time. Because he looks good and very talented, he can't help being jealous. After that, Xiao Guanyin was framed for cheating and was executed directly.
From this mural, we can see that Xiao Guanyin’s hair accessories are similar to those of the Han people. He wears a red headdress and a shawl on his shoulders. There seems to be a string of decorative objects like Buddhist beads. She wears white on the upper body and red on the lower body, so her dress should be the upper and lower garments.
According to historical records, when the queens of the Liao Dynasty offered sacrifices, they usually wore red handkerchiefs and red robe, with jade pendants hanging on their waists and double concentric handkerchiefs. On weekdays, the queen wears purple and gold hundred phoenix shirts, apricot and gold skirts, red phoenix boots, and a hundred treasure buns. If we compare the above picture, we will find that there seem to be many similarities.
Many TV shows now regard "Baidu Yiyi" as a "rigorous testimony", which is very big
In the process of writing this article, I was surprised to find something.
That is, when I searched for the three words "Queen Dowager Xiao", I saw this webpage:
shocked! It turns out that the strict textual evidence touted by the crew is actually a picture in Baidu Encyclopedia.
have to say, this is a bit too perfunctory.
It is no wonder that the famous folk "expert" Chunmei Fox in the Hanfu industry also called the Queen Mother Xiao's image so wrong and hard to forgive.
Of course, there are many similar situations. The reason is that the crew does not know how to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. For example, the costumes of the emperors of the Song Dynasty have been repeatedly wrong in the costume dramas over the years. Why is
? Because many times, people take the paintings of the Qing Dynasty as a reference.
The Song Zhenzong painted by Qing people
If you follow this to restore the Song Dynasty emperor's dragon robe, it is 100% wrong.
The recurring mistakes about the restoration of the dragon robe of the Song Dynasty, I will write an article with you in detail later in conjunction with Chinese film and television dramas.
For another example, I have been strongly recommending "Jiangshan Ji" recently. In fact, there is a problem with the winged crowns worn by the protagonists.
"Jiangshan Ji" stills
This kind of golden silk-coiled dragon wing good crown appeared in the middle and late Ming dynasty. In the early Ming dynasty, there was only a pure black black silk wing good crown.
Therefore, the crew may actually have borrowed from the “Daming Clothes and Crowns” drawn by the master of Xiefang.
However, this situation is already very good, and there are fewer errors in the whole show. I am still very satisfied with the restoration of the costumes. Before, I specifically talked about the costume issue of this show:
. But what we see now is that the crew directly Baidu, and then copy it according to the shape in Baidu Encyclopedia or Baidu Gallery, and then the name Said "exquisite", which is obviously inappropriate.
In an era when the Internet was underdeveloped, books were limited and the audience was not well-educated, we did not have much demand for the image of Queen Mother Xiao.
The Queen Mother in the film and television series
But now, either, you don't use clothing as a gimmick, and do a good job of the content of the TV series.
Or, you can concentrate on your studies like "The Twelfth Hours of Chang'an" and make your costumes well. Regardless of the plot, the costumes and utensils in it are at least enough for Chinese film history to blow for a few years. On this basis, if the plot is better, it will definitely be remembered by the history of Chinese film and television dramas.
