& gt& gt& gt The girdle in medieval Europe: Speaking of dying for beauty, the girdle in Europe must be on the list. The waist-binding is similar to China's foot-binding, and it is also cruel, which will lead to skeletal deformity, visceral displacement and even death. It was not liberated until 1900 ~
In addition to the West, there is also a saying in China that "the king of Chu was thin-waisted and starved to death in his palace". According to legend, the king of Chu likes women with thin waists. At that time, in order to cater to their preferences, women in the palace would swallow their stomachs by various means: cloth, gold foil and even small snakes.
& gt& gt& gt Apply lead powder to your face: That's true. Now makeup costs money, and it used to be terrible. How to change from white to red? Lead powder ~ It is said that Queen Elizabeth I loves lead powder and wears it every day. Many women followed suit and died of poisoning.
& gt& gt& gt crocodile dung skin care: Cleopatra's skin is a much-told story. It is said that her secret recipe is to use crocodile dung and donkey milk to protect skin. Strange to think about it, it would be nice to use it when Caesar is away.
& gt& gt& gt Beetle Juice Lipstick: The beauty with red lips was popular in Britain in the early days. After mashing, apply the juice to her lips, emmmmmm.
& gt& gt& gt Human milk and poultry excrement skin care: Empress Dowager Cixi's hobby is human milk, so she forgot to drink human milk and used it to protect her skin. In addition, she also developed Yurong Powder, the raw material is the feces of pigeons, eagles and sparrows.
Above, I hope Twippo's answer will help you, and I wish you a happy life!
Many people must have heard that Kardashian injected blood for beauty.
This is really a brave action. It needs to draw blood from its own arm first, then separate platelets by machine and inject them into facial skin. Its principle is that platelet-rich plasma has growth traces, which can promote the proliferation of facial skin cells, alleviate aging and make the skin firmer and younger.
But I want to say that in this case, it is enough to directly inject EGF growth markers. Why do you have to inject blood? It is worth mentioning that this bloody beauty technique is very popular in Hollywood ladies' circle.
Empress Dowager Cixi is a person who loves beauty very much, but her maintenance method is also extremely wonderful.
Empress Dowager Cixi's favorite skin care product "Yurong Powder" is made of sparrow excrement, eagle excrement and pigeon excrement. It is said that this kind of jade powder can prevent dull complexion and eliminate wrinkles. However, I just want to know where such a delicious beauty liquid comes from.
Similar to the beauty of Cixi, there is a very famous bird excrement mask in Japan.
Widely loved in Japanese geisha circles, its main function is cleaning. It is said that it was later spread to new york and sold at a high price in beauty salons. The Beckhams are even spokesmen.
What's a little disgusting is that when there is shit, how can you not pee?
He drank his own urine before watching Mr. Bei's program. Although it is a survival program, it does cause discomfort.
It is said that there was a man named robert wells who found that urine can make people glow and be more youthful and energetic (I especially want to know how he came to this conclusion). In addition, he also said that drinking urine can keep slim, while making a mask can delay aging. What the fuck? If it's so simple, why do women spend so much money to maintain and lose weight? Just a few sips.
We often see the western waists in some American or English dramas. In the past, women would take a deep breath before putting on a corset, and maids would try to tie the tightest belt and not even take it off at night.
The standard of waist binding is that women can put their hands around their waist, but long-term waist binding will lead to poor breathing and even oppression of internal organs, which is life-threatening.
At present, the thinnest person in the world, her waist circumference is only 36.5 cm, OMG.
Of course, girding tools are still used by many women. In China, most of them are used for postpartum shaping or weight loss, so that they can't eat much at all, because eating more will be uncomfortable, but I still hope that everyone can do what they can.
There are many such things, such as the custom of dyeing black teeth and painting white powder in ancient Japan. Cleopatra covered the mask with gold. British singer Victoria used bird droppings as a mask. /kloc-in the 0/8th century, because of the excessive pursuit of pale beauty, the average life expectancy of Europeans was only about 35 years old.
Cleopatra VII was the last female Pharaoh (king) of Ptolemy dynasty in ancient Egypt. It is said that she let a poisonous snake commit suicide to end her life with Egypt. From then on, Egypt ended its nominal independence and became a province of the Roman Empire.
Cleopatra is not only charming, but also exemplary in managing the army. She not only made Caesar fall at her feet, but also fascinated Anthony. In fact, Cleopatra is very talented and can speak five languages (Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Aramaic and Egyptian). Cleopatra likes gold very much. Gold is not only a symbol of wealth, but also can be used as a mask to make skin shiny and elastic and keep women young forever.
The vice president of a dermatology hospital in Shanghai said that although gold does not cause poisoning like lead, there is no scientific basis for whether gold mask can delay aging. Some experts experimented with gold nanoparticles and found that it would harm the skin.
Britney spears used a live snail as a mask. Britney Spears, an American singer, used a live snail as a mask, that is, she put the snail on her face and crawled around. It is said that the mucus on snails can repair sunburned skin, moisturize skin and clean dirt in pores.
It is understood that most of the live snails used abroad are specially cultured and very clean. So you can't use ordinary live snails as masks. There are too many bacteria and parasites, so we'd better not provoke them ourselves.
Excessive pursuit of pale beauty leads to lead poisoning death. /kloc-in the 0/8th century, tight skirts were particularly popular in Europe, and women tried to lose weight and diet in order to slim down their waists. Even if the weather is cold, just wear a little. Many people have pneumonia and tuberculosis. At that time, the average life expectancy of Europeans was only about 35 years old.
There was a time when a very exaggerated pale beauty was popular in Europe, just like white flour. Many girls who use cosmetics know that cosmetics contain lead, especially whitening cosmetics contain a lot of lead. During this period in Europe, women were so addicted to this beauty that they didn't even want to take off their makeup when they slept. In the long run, lead poisoning was caused, and many people died of beauty at that time.
Bird droppings mask According to the Daily Mail, British singer Victoria painted nightingale droppings on her face for beauty and anti-aging. It turns out that Victoria went to Japan and admired Japanese women's skin and found that they used bird droppings for maintenance. After experiencing the efficacy of bird droppings as a mask for the first time, Victoria was very satisfied, and later fell madly in love with the expensive "bird droppings mask". Later, even her husband Beckham fell in love with the bird droppings mask.
It is said that this guano mask is sterilized, and a course of treatment costs more than RMB 1300. Some customers say that the bird droppings mask has no peculiar smell and is very moist and smooth.
Blackpool's White-faced Pillow Grass, popular in ancient Japan, was written by a female official in the palace during the Heian period in Japan (about the middle of the Tang Dynasty to the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty), and recorded the incident of Japanese women dyeing their black teeth. At that time, Japanese married women shaved off their eyebrows and painted their favorite eyebrows, indicating that they were famous for flowers and had the meaning of chastity.
In ancient Japan, women would paint their faces with thick white powder and red mouths. Even married women dye their teeth with black water mixed with tea, wine, vinegar and iron slurry. In fact, it was very popular at that time, and many people said it was unacceptable, so why do it?
In ancient Japan, China's culture was highly respected, especially in the Tang Dynasty. Until now, Japan still retains the cultural characteristics of the Tang Dynasty. The dressing of white face and pupa eyebrows is actually related to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, in the Tang Dynasty, the opera industry was developed, and there were only lanterns at night. In order to make people see clearly when dancing at night, beautiful women paint their faces white to highlight their blushes. At that time, women in the Tang Dynasty had to shave off their eyebrows when painting pupa eyebrows.
It was not until the sixth year of Meiji in Japan (1874) that the Japanese emperor announced that he would "waste imperial jade and iron slurry" and bid farewell to "dyeing black teeth" from then on.
Everyone loves beauty. However, from ancient times to the present, from abroad to home, people have spared no effort for beauty. Let's take a look at the God's operations that are desperate for beauty.
First, the ancient slimming articles
Gu Yan said, "The king of Chu was thin-waisted and starved to death in his palace." . According to legend, the king of Chu likes women with smooth skin, slender waist and soft waist very much. As a result, those women tried their best to slim themselves down in order to please the king. Some people do not hesitate to swallow cloth, gold foil or other items, so that they can shrink their stomachs in disguise. Some people call on wizards to swallow maggots or small snakes in cesspits, and some even swallow "baby pills" to achieve the effect of thin waist. Western women generally use metal plates or boards and then tighten them to slim their waists. Later, aristocratic women also invented slimming clothes similar to the "patchwork clothes" of the Ming Dynasty, but they were quite abnormal. This method not only causes gastrointestinal dysfunction, but also easily causes rib damage. Many women even died because of stomach perforation or broken ribs.
Second, ancient whitening articles
Ma Su's "Notes on Ancient and Modern China Powder" recorded in the Five Dynasties; "Since the three generations, Nong Yu, a woman who took lead as powder, was impressed by the history of the fairy playing the flute, and painted for burning mercury to make powder, also known as non-Yun Dan. "Generally speaking, since the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, people often use lead as powder to whiten their faces. Qin Mugong's daughter took feiyun pills made of mercury to become beautiful. What is Yun Dan? Its raw material is mercury, which is mercury. This is a chemical raw material, although it can make the skin white and smooth in a short time. However, due to its excessive toxicity, it is likely to be visceral poisoning, which will lead to death in severe cases. The west is no exception. /kloc-in the 0 th and 6 th centuries, European women painted a lot of lead powder for whitening. Even Queen Elizabeth I often smeared lead powder on her face, and women who loved beauty were unwilling to take off their makeup at night, resulting in many women dying of poisoning within a period of time. In addition, in history, there are people who drink human milk and protect their skin, and some people use animal feces to protect their skin.
Third, modern articles.
South Korea's cosmetic surgery can be described as "witchcraft." It is estimated that you don't even know your mother once, but the success rate of the operation is impossible 100%. Being Xifeng is very lucky. In addition to these, there are beauty needles, face-lifting needles and so on. , and the types are very diverse. Sex change surgery in Thailand is also a way to become beautiful (compatriots still don't try it).
Closer to home, beauty is ok, but we should not pay too much attention to it. As the saying goes, we should not only look at the surface, but also pay attention to the inner cultivation.
In today's society, being thin, sharp and bulging has become the best goal for women. Walking on the street, especially on the subway or shopping street, you will always see female friends with sharp chin and thin waist. But it's hard to say whether the wallet is bulging or not. Maybe some women's bag A looks super-bulging, but in fact, it's just a pad besides toilet paper. As for money? Hehe ... Today, women love beauty, and so do ancient women. In order to make themselves more beautiful or thinner, ancient people will still try their best, and even some ways seem almost abnormal today.
There is a saying that "the king of Chu has a thin waist and starved to death in his palace." According to legend, the king of Chu likes women with soft and slender waist. If she has smooth skin, slender waist and walks around naked, she looks like a beautiful snake. King Chu often made girls with thin waists dance for themselves and swim on their fat bodies.
Since the king of Chu has such a hobby, as long as his waist is soft and thin, he may be able to turn the pheasant into a phoenix and jump on the branches from now on. In order to get the king's favor and cater to the king's preferences, those ladies-in-waiting and concubines tried their best to slim themselves down one by one, and some even swallowed cloth, gold foil or other items to make themselves shrink in disguise. What's more, they turn to wizards for help, use maggots in cesspits or swallow small snakes. What's more, they swallow "baby pills" to achieve the effect of thin waist.
Women are like this, and men with beards do their jobs. In addition to liking slim-waisted beauties, the king of Chu also has a "Longyang addiction", so some courtiers do not hesitate to lose weight themselves. Legend has it that a courtier wants to have a meal with the king happily. "Threaten and then take it, hold the wall and get up." Hungry and emaciated, a person can only walk on the wall, and a slight gust of wind can make people fall.
However, few people finally get a slim waist, but people who are hungry and poisoned are everywhere. One day, the king of Chu was tired of seeing people with thin waists and fell in love with rich people. How sad are those who once longed for being thin and bedridden.
Zhao, another beauty in the Western Han Dynasty, is said to be petite and can dance on the palm of her hand. Emperor Hancheng regarded it as a treasure, fearing that she was too thin to be blown away by the wind, and specially built a Qibao typhoon shelter for her. Zhao once told her that she had a secret to lose weight, and that was "cactus for internal use and pills for external use". I don't know whether cactus, a desert plant, was introduced in the Western Han Dynasty, as recorded by unofficial history.
Cactus is well known, and now it is exaggerated as an edible multi-functional and multi-nutrient plant, but it is said that it is difficult to swallow. The lion once saw others eating, but he didn't eat. It's sticky, almost full of snot. The other party mixed blueberry sauce and ate heartily. I almost didn't throw up. However, it is estimated that few people know what "Xiji Pill" is. Now there is this formula online, which is said to be a mixture of ginseng+musk+velvet antler+various famous incense. Put it into the navel after making it, which can play a role in beauty and slimming. But it is said that this property is cold, and long-term use will lead to infertility. An Lingrong in the TV series "Empresses in the Palace" used it to keep fit. It seems that for beauty, you can really die.
Oriental women love beauty, so do western women. In the Middle Ages, women in Europe had a fever of thin waist. In order to achieve the effect of thin waist, they do not hesitate to cut the waist. During the Ming Dynasty in China, women made "clothes with buttons" to lose weight, similar to tights now. This thing can tighten the waist and abdomen, reduce appetite, eat less and naturally lose weight. But the stomach will be damaged, so I'm desperate for beauty.
Western women are not as clever as Ming women. They use metal plates or boards, and then tighten the waist. Of course, aristocratic women later invented slimming clothes similar to the "hundred buttons" in the Ming Dynasty, but they were all quite abnormal. This method not only leads to gastrointestinal dysfunction, but also easily leads to rib damage, so many people die because of gastric perforation or broken ribs puncture. But many women are willing to die for a beautiful word. Western society holds a waistline contest every year. Some old photos show that a woman's waist is thin enough to be grasped by her hands, but it is obvious that this woman will not live long.
In contrast, the Tang Dynasty was better. Women are rich and beautiful. It is not easy to be thin, but it is relatively easy to be fat.
Isn't it wonderful to watch these ancient people pursue a good figure? In fact, it is still wonderful now, and there are not a few people who are anorexic. My parents gave me a body. Why waste it like this? Fat and thin people will be chased and loved. These days, there are only poor people who can't find a wife, and there are no ugly women who can't marry.
TNT 1942 Original Use In August, the Royal Powder Factory located in Waltham Abbey, northeast London, England, was almost continuously saturated. The demand for gunpowder in the war is endless, and they have to work overtime. Although the function of this factory has begun to change to gunpowder research and development, the long war still requires them to continuously increase production capacity. The lack of young men even makes the factory start to recruit a large number of female workers for production, all in order to win.
Robin Brom, the head of the factory, has been worried recently. He found that semi-finished explosives in the factory were often lost. Although the amount at a time is small, they are all powerful TNT explosives. If put together, it is enough to completely blow up the whole monastery. Brom, who has a bad career, after careful consideration, still thinks it is better to report to the military. The ubiquitous destruction of Nazi spies is really frightening. Even if you are responsible for the loss of explosives, it's better than being blown up in a daze, right?
MI6, which received the report, also attached great importance to it and sent a five-member team to investigate the fire factory. After looking at the traces of the scene, they agreed that this was not an external burglary, but an internal ghost! Brom's urine is almost scared, and it is even more terrible if he is an insider. You can send it to heaven at any time! The investigation team immediately raided several key suspected female workers, and then their chins fell to the ground. ....
The women workers generously admitted the fact of stealing gunpowder, but the motive was not to explode, but to dye their hair. This group of black sheep said that TNT-dyed hair is golden yellow and beautiful, just like a princess in a fairy tale. Not only we use it, but also our family. They also brushed their hair and asked the survey members if they were beautiful.
All members of the investigation team collapsed. How on earth did these black sheep know that TNT explosive was originally designed for hair dye? Big sisters! Is there a war? Aren't you afraid to blow up? Smelly girl is really hard. ......
The most barbaric way to lose weight was actually before the15th century. European women were still full of beauty, but with the richness of materials, these girls began to toss. First of all, the nobility began to lead the fashion. In Victorian times, a kind of tuberculosis swept across Europe. Naturally, this infectious disease first broke out among aristocrats who like to party, and most of them were infected.
The British ridicule is that they found a noble beauty in tuberculosis patients, thin, slim and pale, with a morbid blush on their cheeks. This is simply a model of nobility. We British beauties should look like this! Tuberculosis can't be said, but the thin aesthetic has been deeply implanted in the bone marrow of this group of teasing people, and I will not hesitate to fight for it.
Because of the food structure, it is actually very difficult for British carnivores to lose weight. At that time, there was no such thing as shut up and take your legs. I don't even like girls. I don't have any aristocratic style. So the most barbaric way to lose weight in history was born. You can eat whatever you want with a small pill, and you won't get fat at all.
The pill is made of sugar and covered with tapeworm eggs. After oral administration, tapeworms will settle in the intestines and absorb all the nutrients you eat. That thing can grow to several meters long! And hermaphroditism, rapid reproduction, before long, you can thin into a noble!
Of course, our current medical knowledge proves that it won't make you lose weight, but it will clog your intestines and make your stomach particularly big. If you are not careful, you will die. But people didn't know it at that time and took it one after another. They are really trying to lose weight.
Not to mention modern times, one of the four great witchcraft in modern Asia is cosmetic surgery in South Korea.
It is said that Korean plastic surgery is unique in Asia, and the effect is excellent. When Korean women grow up, their parents will give them a gift of plastic surgery.
So there are no ugly girls in Korea, but the children born to Korean women are often very different from their mothers.
In fact, in history, women have done many cruel things for the sake of beauty, and it is nothing to move a knife on themselves.
Some people do abnormal things, such as the famous poem "The king of Chu has a thin waist and starved to death in his palace."
It is said that King Chu Ling likes people with thin waists, so ladies-in-waiting go on a diet desperately to keep their waists slim. However, due to excessive dieting, some people have a thin waist, while others have none.
Starving to death.
But it is said that King Chu Ling's favorite waist is a man's waist, not a woman's. Later generations speculated that since he likes men's waists, he must also like women's waists.
Losing weight has always been a woman's favorite sport.
Zhao Yanfei, the queen of Emperor Han Chengdi, is said to be as light as a swallow and can dance in the palm of a big fellow's hand.
Zhao tried to keep a proud figure, practicing Tai Chi yoga every day, but her figure remained, but endocrine disorders caused her to have no children until the death of Emperor Han Chengdi.
And those who gain weight. In the Tang Dynasty, being fat was beauty. Yang Guifei is a plump beauty. People try their best to eat themselves into Jia Ling for the sake of beauty.
Dieting for beauty or eating hard is nothing.
Ancient people did crazier things for beauty, such as foot binding.
Foot-binding began in Song Dynasty and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Sour literati suddenly like to smell women's feet. In order to cater to the interests of the lords, women wrapped their feet.
Later, female foot-binding became a custom, and some girls began to do it when they were four or five years old, because the bones were artificially deformed when they were children. Originally, a normal woman's feet were between 35 and 40 yards, but her feet were bound by 15 or 16 yards and her bones were deformed.
Moreover, this destructive behavior, because it has been recognized by the society, has become a voluntary behavior.
The ancients had regulations on foot binding: within three inches, it was golden lotus, within four inches, it was silver lotus, and above four inches, it was iron lotus.
It is said that the top grade of three-inch golden lotus can marry a good family, which is also a reason why many people flock to it.
Beauty is really fatal. Since ancient times, people have been doing experiments on themselves crazily. Look at those people with thousands of knives on their faces today. Do you know this is another kind of foot binding?

Han Miaoke, a Korean "fan aunt", is the most typical person who loves beauty.
It was really beautiful before plastic surgery, but after tasting the sweetness of plastic surgery, she couldn't bear to become more beautiful, and even became extremely abnormal.
Unfortunately, she met a bad and unqualified black-hearted doctor. Under the wrong guidance, she injected cooking oil directly into her face, which was really a fatal operation. As a result, Han Miaoke's face eventually swelled into a pig's head, and he couldn't bear to look straight.
"Aunt Fan" also got its name.
There is no regret medicine in the world, and cases of cosmetic failure abound. Cheating money is a trivial matter, and there is really nothing you can do to spend money to disfigure or directly lose your life. So fairies must be careful and beautiful, and don't make fun of their beautiful faces ~
Historically, all dynasties have worked hard for beauty, including women and men.
Zhao and Zhao Hede, the famous Zhao sisters in the Han Dynasty, charmed Emperor Wu with Xiji Pills. Xiji pills are placed at the navel. When it is integrated into the body, it can make the skin moist and radiant, and it can also emit fragrance and stimulate lust. However, such a good thing certainly has great side effects, not only destroying the body, but also infertility. Therefore, the Zhao sisters have been spoiled all their lives, one as a queen and the other as a mother-in-law, but they have never had children.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, I don't know when metaphysics began to prevail, and the aesthetics of Chinese people suddenly changed. Not only women put on makeup, but men also began to put on makeup, drawing even more beautiful than women. You can't go out to meet friends without makeup. However, men are naturally strong, and women's femininity can't be learned. So some celebrities began to take jade powder for beauty beauty, but eating too much will have a side effect-poisoning. At that time, many people were poisoned by jade powder. ———————————————————————————————————————
I'm Qionglin Nighttalk, a little dolphin who focuses on history and literature!
1, metal whitening method
Everyone knows that Europe has been pursuing morbid whiteness for some time. In order to make their faces look as pale and moving as possible, many women will apply toxic heavy metals such as lead powder or arsenic to their faces.
Not only do you care about your own life, but even your dear partner may be poisoned if you are not careful.
2, camel urine hair care
People used to have no bullies and special effects. If they want bright and soft hair, they must rely on some special means. For example, Arabs use camel urine to wash their hair.
It is said that it can make hair duang ~ duang ~ dunag, but Fei Li is curious. Isn't this smell pungent?
3. Crocodile excrement is wrinkle-proof
In ancient times, Europeans chose an article with heavy taste to resist wrinkles, that is, crocodile feces. It is said that women can slow down aging by mixing crocodile feces with soil for bathing or applying face.
Obviously, Europeans did not unlock all the functions of cucumbers in ancient times. For example, cucumber slices still have a certain cosmetic effect. At least from the taste after use, cucumber is more acceptable.
4, mouse hair to make up eyebrows
In the18th century, thick and shiny eyebrows were a symbol of beauty.
But in that era when tattooed eyebrows were not invented, what should girls do with fewer eyebrows?
In order to make themselves look beautiful, the girls also try to change their eyebrows into mouse hair, which makes people get goose bumps!
Step 5 Wash your teeth with urine
It is said that the ancient Romans tried many ways to make their teeth look white. When there were no black toothpaste, Crest, Colgate and other ointments, the ancient Romans tried it thousands of times.
They choose to wash their teeth with urine. It is difficult to prove whether the effect is good or not, but this psychological endurance is convincing.
