Summary: Morbid elegance and glitz

Among the various literary works of modern Japan, the Heian period is basically synonymous with elegance and the flourishing of the culture of the nobility of the princesses.

-- Hunting clothes and black hats, wide long sleeves, pink face and black teeth, Noh dance, waka scarlet, endless romantic love, indescribable elegance and flashiness.

There are also cherry blossoms flying in the sky, winding corridors, rippling ponds, solemn ancient temples, wafting incense, melodious flutes, black seven-foot green silk, gorgeous twelve single women's clothes, reflecting red lips and smiles...... It's just gorgeous!

The romantic love story between the female official, the minister and the royal family, with the elegant and flashy background of the times, is like an ancient picture scroll from the hands of a famous artist, slowly unfolding in front of the eyes of the world, constituting the gorgeous and beautiful main color of the entire Heian period.

However, this layer of elegant and flashy glamorous appearance cannot hide the morbid atmosphere of the entire era. In order to show their noble status, the princess family understood all kinds of seemingly elegant, but in fact extremely unhealthy lifestyles, and as a result, they became weak.

But even so, they remained unrepentant, but in order to adapt to this overall pathology, and to pursue this sick and unhealthy appearance into an enduring fashion trend - just as the French admired perfume to cover up their filthy and smelly body after not bathing for a long time, the elegant statements of the Japanese ministers and nobles in the Heian period were also to disguise their own frailty and sickness.

For example, in manga and film and television works depicting the Heian period, there is often a scene of a thin nobleman with a sickly face, holding his maid's shoulders weakly, and going out to drink and enjoy plum blossoms in the snowy weather. The dark fragrance of plum blossoms came with the wind and snow, and the noble prince couldn't help coughing lightly, and looked down to see that the white silk scarf that was now wiping the corners of his mouth was stained with a faint bloodstain......

What do you think? It's very elegant, isn't it?

However, in my conscience, I have to warn all of you who have traveled through the Heian period that if you are lucky enough to meet such a classic sick and beautiful man, just watch from a distance, and do not come over to talk to me with an excited face.

Because most of his diseases were infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and the like, which was incurable at the time, if you got too close, maybe you would also be infected, so you had to die with him.

As another example, as mentioned earlier, the aristocratic ministers of the Heian period, regardless of gender, applied a thick layer of white powder to their faces. As a result, these white powders will fall off when they smile. But instead of doing away with this cumbersome makeup, they covered their faces with a fan when they laughed, claiming that it would look more beautiful......

To sum up, the so-called elegance and romance of the Japanese ministers in the Heian period were essentially a kind of morbid elegance and flashiness.

In short, after a series of arduous tests such as bulky armor-like clothes, highly toxic cosmetics that cost human life, an absolutely unhealthy aristocratic diet, crazy superstitious taboos, and love letters from gay men, the modern time-travelers finally left the house in an ox cart that was slower than walking, and finally saw only a group of "classical beauties" with shaved eyebrows and black teeth, and flat breasts enough to skate (most Japanese women in the Heian period were poor breasts), and also shaved their eyebrows and blackened teeth. and a "famous and noble son" who vomited blood and was sick for three days......

After all the beautiful dreams have been shattered, all the disappointed time-travelers will probably scold those girl cartoonists for being liars!

Alas, I would like to advise everyone: crossing is risky, and you must be cautious in your actions!
