I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and to better understand parts of it, I translated sections that I found challenging. I also made notes (written in English) along the way to help deepen my understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m thrilled to share these notes with you! I aim to help us all gain a deeper appreciation for the elegance and historical significance of traditional Chinese attire, which is so rich in history and beauty.<\/p>\n<p>All the information in these notes comes from the book \u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300b.<\/p>\n<p>This is for non-commercial purposes only.

Based on an ink inscription on a wooden land purchase deed found within the tomb, it was determined that the tomb belonged to a noblewoman of the Tang family from the Southern Tang, who held the title \u201cXianjun \u53bf\u541b (xi\u00e0n j\u016bn, a title granted to the mother or wife of a fifth-rank official)&#8221;. She was buried in the fourth year of the Baoda era (946). Although the tomb of Lady Tang was very small, with few valuable objects unearthed and the land deed recording nothing of her life story, the ornaments in her hair are closely linked to the issue of the period and authorship of the famous painting &#8220;Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers (\u300a\u7c2a\u82b1\u4ed5\u5973\u56fe\u300bz\u0101n hu\u0101 sh\u00ec n\u01da t\u00fa)&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>For a long time, people have regarded Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers as a work by Zhou Fang (\u5468\u6609 ; Zh\u014du F\u01ceng), a painter from the Tang dynasty. Even today, in exhibitions of Tang dynasty relics in museums, figures from this painting are often displayed for illustrative comparison. It seems that such an extraordinary work, if not associated with a renowned figure and the grand flourishing of the Tang dynasty, would somehow seem less valuable\u2014this essentially reflects a deep affection for preserving the life of the artwork.<\/p>\n<p>However, when compared with sculptures and wall paintings that have been discovered, the makeup and hairstyles of Tang dynasty women appear very different from those in Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers.<\/p>\n<p>In the 20th century, the master of painting and calligraphy, Mr. Xie Zhiliu (\u8c22\u7a1a\u67f3 ; Xi\u00e8 Zh\u00ecli\u01d4), proposed that this painting was created during the period of the Five Dynasties and Southern Tang, based on the makeup features and other details of the noblewomen depicted. One of his arguments was that, according to\u300a\u5357\u5510\u4e66\u300b(n\u00e1n t\u00e1ng sh\u016b) by Lu You (\u9646\u6e38 ; L\u00f9 Y\u00f3u), Empress Zhou (\u5927\u5468\u540e ; D\u00e0 zh\u014du h\u00f2u), the empress of the last ruler of Southern Tang, Li Yu (\u674e\u715c ; L\u01d0 Y\u00f9), once popularized a fashion style of \u201chigh buns, sheer clothing, and short hair adorned with flowers,\u201d which matched the figures in the painting very well. Another argument was the discovery of clay figurines of women from Southern Tang tombs whose hairstyles and clothing closely resembled those depicted in the painting.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1566\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1566\" style=\"width: 1078px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-b.jpg\" alt=\"Zhang Ruying - Zhang Ruying\u2019s Notes: From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories (Five Dynasties and Southern Tang, Lady Tang \u6c64\u6c0f) - b\" width=\"1078\" height=\"1148\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-b.jpg 1078w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-b-282x300.jpg 282w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-b-962x1024.jpg 962w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-b-768x818.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1078px) 100vw, 1078px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1566\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u56db\u8776\u94f6\u6b65\u6447\u9497\u3001\u53cc\u8776\u9497\u3001\u938f\u91d1\u94f6\u9576\u7389\u6b65\u6447\u9497 (Headdress unearthed from the tomb of Lady Tang in the Southern Tang dynasty) \u2014 \u5de6\u4e18\u840c \/ \u672b\u6625 . \u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c . \u6e05\u534e\u5927\u5b66\u51fa\u7248\u793e\uff0c2020\uff1a197<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The hair ornaments of Lady Tang (the Xianjun from the Tang family) further support Mr. Xie Zhiliu\u2019s hypothesis.

Not only were the styles similar to those illustrated in Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers, but their positions upon discovery had not shifted, and their placements were strikingly similar to those in the painting. With the comparison of real ornaments, female figurines, and records in literature, it can be confirmed that Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers was painted during the period of the Five Dynasties and Southern Tang.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"restoration\">Restoration Basis of the Image<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1565\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1565\" style=\"width: 340px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-c.jpg\" alt=\"Zhang Ruying - Zhang Ruying\u2019s Notes: From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories (Five Dynasties and Southern Tang, Lady Tang \u6c64\u6c0f) - c\" width=\"340\" height=\"1012\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-c.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-c-101x300.jpg 101w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1565\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Female with silver hairpins on her head (4th year of Wu Shunyi \u5434\u987a\u4e49 (924) \/ Unearthed from a tomb in Yangzhou, Jiangsu) \u2014 \u5de6\u4e18\u840c \/ \u672b\u6625 . \u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c . \u6e05\u534e\u5927\u5b66\u51fa\u7248\u793e\uff0c2020\uff1a198<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Unlike the symmetrical placement of hairpins during the Tang dynasty, in the Jiangnan region during the Five Dynasties period, it was popular to decorate high buns with asymmetrically placed hairpins.<\/p>\n<p>This trend had already emerged during the Yang Wu (\u6768\u5434 ; Y\u00e1ng W\u00fa) period of the Five Dynasties, as evidenced by the discovery of wooden female figurines adorned with copper flower hairpins from the fourth year of Wu Shunyi\u2019s tomb (924) in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, and the tomb of Princess Xunyang from the third year of Wu Qianzhen (929) in Caizhuang, Hanjiang. Although the flower hairpin styles still resembled those of the late Tang dynasty, the method of placement had changed: one hairpin was inserted diagonally upward, while the hairpin on the opposite side was inserted diagonally downward. Therefore, in the painting, the jade-inlaid gold flower hairpin and the double butterfly silver wire hairpin with amber beads are also inserted in opposite slanting directions, and a Buyao hairpin shaped like four butterflies made of silver wire is placed at the front of the high bun atop the head.<\/p>\n<p>This combination of ornaments is the same as that found in Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers, thus the entire attire, facial makeup, and hairstyle were reconstructed based on the forms seen in the painting.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1564\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1564\" style=\"width: 356px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-d.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-d.jpg\" alt=\"Zhang Ruying - Zhang Ruying\u2019s Notes: From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories (Five Dynasties and Southern Tang, Lady Tang \u6c64\u6c0f) - d\" width=\"356\" height=\"669\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-d.jpg 356w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-d-160x300.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 356px) 100vw, 356px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1564\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Female with silver hairpins on her head (The third year of Wu Qianzhen \u5434\u4e7e\u8d1e (929) \/ Unearthed from the tomb of Princess Xunyang \u6d54\u9633\u516c\u4e3b) \u2014 \u5de6\u4e18\u840c \/ \u672b\u6625 . \u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c . \u6e05\u534e\u5927\u5b66\u51fa\u7248\u793e\uff0c2020\uff1a199<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 id=\"silverbuyao\">Silver Buyao Hairpin Inlaid with Jade (\u94f6\u9576\u7389\u6b65\u6447\u9497)<\/h4>\n<p>The body of the hairpin is made of silver coated with gold.

However, by the mid to late Tang dynasty, the gold and silver wires used for jewelry weaving had become increasingly delicate, soft, and thin\u2014just as described by the mid-Tang poet Wang Jian (\u738b\u5efa ; W\u00e1ng Ji\u00e0n) in his poem\u300a\u5bab\u8bcd\u300b(g\u014dng c\u00ed):<\/p>\n<p><em>\u8702\u987b\u8749\u7fc5\u8584\u677e\u677e\uff0c\u6d6e\u52a8\u6414\u5934\u4f3c\u6709\u98ce\u3002<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u4e00\u5ea6\u51fa\u65f6\u629b\u4e00\u904d\uff0c\u91d1\u6761\u96f6\u843d\u6ee1\u51fd\u4e2d\u3002<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Bee hairs and dragonfly wings\u2014thin and fragile\u2014quiver lightly on the head as if stirred by a breeze.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Each time she steps out (to greet), the ornaments fall one by one, golden fragments scattering across the box.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Insect-shaped ornaments like bees and other tiny creatures, made from gold and silver wire, hung delicately from long hairpins, quivering softly. Before a beautiful woman stepped out adorned in full makeup, she would inspect and select these ornaments one by one, and the delicate, fragile pieces made from fine gold wire would fall, scattering across the jewelry box.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, during the Five Dynasties period, hair ornaments made with the Jietiao technique were also immensely popular. For example, there were Buyao-style hairpins featuring four silver-wire butterflies. The tip of this hairpin was connected to two silver flowers and two silver-wire springs, on top of which perched finely woven silver-wire butterflies. Beneath each butterfly hung an elegant Buyao pendant.<\/p>\n<p>Similar silver ornaments were also found in the tomb of Lady Tian (\u7530\u6c0f ; Ti\u00e1n sh\u00ec) from the first year of the Shengyuan era (937) in Yangzhou, Jiangsu\u2014dating to the Southern Tang period.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1560\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1560\" style=\"width: 349px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-h.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-h.jpg\" alt=\"Zhang Ruying - Zhang Ruying\u2019s Notes: From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories (Five Dynasties and Southern Tang, Lady Tang \u6c64\u6c0f) - h\" width=\"349\" height=\"823\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-h.jpg 349w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-h-127x300.jpg 127w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1560\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jietiao hairpin \u7ed3\u6761\u9497 unearthed from the tomb of Lady Tian in the first year of Shengyuan in Southern Tang (937) \u2014 \u5de6\u4e18\u840c \/ \u672b\u6625 . \u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c . \u6e05\u534e\u5927\u5b66\u51fa\u7248\u793e\uff0c2020\uff1a201<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Five Dynasties poet He Ning (\u548c\u51dd ; H\u00e9 N\u00edng), in\u300a\u5bab\u8bcd\u300b(g\u014dng c\u00ed), captured a quiet corner of the palace where Jietiao-style ornaments were still seen\u2014On a clear spring day, behind a red silk window curtain, a weary palace lady, tired from needlework, leaned idly against a warming basket.

The first was a combination of gold or silver floral hairpins inlaid with jade, known as &#8220;gold inlaid with jade (\u91d1\u9576\u7389 ; j\u012bn xi\u0101ng y\u00f9)&#8221; or &#8220;silver inlaid with jade (\u94f6\u9576\u7389 ; y\u00edn xi\u0101ng y\u00f9)&#8221;, such as the silver jade-inlaid hairpin unearthed from the Tang family tomb. The second involved crafting entire hairpins from thin, delicate jade\u2014jade that could previously be hammered and carved freely like metal\u2014into full ornaments.<\/p>\n<p>With exquisite jade-carving techniques, artisans sculpted these delicate jades with high precision, even hollowing them out like intricate paper cuttings, forming complex floral patterns. For instance, in a Five Dynasties tomb from the Wuyue Kingdom (\u5434\u8d8a\u56fd ; w\u00fa yu\u00e8 gu\u00f3) in Lin\u2019an, Zhejiang, several jade hairpins were discovered. These featured carvings only two millimeters thick, depicting swirling wind patterns among vines and fluttering ribbons. The hairpins were mounted on petal-shaped bases plated with silver and gold.<\/p>\n<p>In the poem\u300a\u9633\u53f0\u68a6\u300b(y\u00e1ng t\u00e1i m\u00e8ng) by Zhuangzong of Later Tang, the line \u201c<em>\u4eb8\u91d1\u7fd8\u7389\u51e4 golden curves and jade phoenix<\/em>&#8221; appears; and in\u300a\u5bab\u8bcd\u300b(g\u014dng c\u00ed) by Lady Hua Rui of Former Shu, the phrase \u201c<em>\u7389\u51e4\u96d5\u9497\u8885\u6b32\u98de jade-carved phoenix hairpin about to fly<\/em>&#8221; describes the fashionable hairpins of that time.<\/p>\n<p>Beneath these floral hairpins, the Jietiao technique was also employed\u2014using fine metal wires to suspend delicate, lightweight ornaments shaped like ribbons, flowers, or leaves. As the woman walked, the small jade pieces dangling from the jade hairpin atop her head would sway and flutter with her steps, as if stirred by a gentle breeze.<\/p>\n<p>Lady Tang\u2019s (Xianjun of the Tang family) silver Buyao hairpin inlaid with jade is one of the best-preserved examples today. However, the Kang Mausoleum (\u5eb7\u9675 ; k\u0101ng l\u00edng) where it was found once suffered damage, and many small jade pieces and dangling ornaments became scattered and separated, making it difficult to reconstruct the original arrangement.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1559\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1559\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-i.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-i.jpg\" alt=\"Zhang Ruying - Zhang Ruying\u2019s Notes: From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories (Five Dynasties and Southern Tang, Lady Tang \u6c64\u6c0f) - i\" width=\"1010\" height=\"873\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-i.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-i-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bAccessories-Five-Dynasties-and-Southern-Tang-Lady-Tang-\u6c64\u6c0f-i-768x664.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1010px) 100vw, 1010px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1559\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gold-inlaid jade hairpins and various Buyao unearthed from Kangling \u5eb7\u9675 \u2014 \u5de6\u4e18\u840c \/ \u672b\u6625 . \u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c . \u6e05\u534e\u5927\u5b66\u51fa\u7248\u793e\uff0c2020\uff1a202<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>And there you have it\u2014<\/h4>\n<p>I hope these notes have been insightful and encourage you to dive deeper into the world of traditional Chinese fashion, particularly from the Tang dynasty.
