Ugh. Why is it so difficult to find info on men's clothing? 90% of the websites I visit are about women's clothing only. Sometimes with a very small paragraph or two on men's clothing. Ugh. Whyyyyyyy.

In the Sui Dynasty (589-618 CE), the emperor decreed that there was too much similarity between what the peasants and the upper classes wore (even though the wealthy nobles were still the only ones who could wear silk) and passed a law that all peasants had to wear either blue or black clothing; only the wealthy were allowed to wear colors.

We know her as "Lady of Ch'iao Kuo: Warrior of the South" or Lady Xian, but she also received a lot of additional titles and honours during and after her death.

In the Sui dynasty (589), she got the honoured name of "Furen of Songkang County" (宋康郡夫人). In 601, she was granted the name of "Lady of Qiaoguo" (谯国夫人). When she died, she was honoured with the posthumous name of "Lady of Chengjing" (诚敬夫人). 

In the Chen dynasty (570), she was given the title of "Shi-Long Taifuren" (石龙太夫人). But in the book of the History of the Northern Dynasties, she was given the title of "Taifuren of Gaoliang County" (高凉郡太夫人).

In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, she was honoured as the "Qingfu Furen" (清福夫人). 

In the Southern Song dynasty, the emperor granted her the name of "Xianying Furen" (显应夫人) and "Youfui Furen" (柔惠夫人). 

In the Qing dynasty (1864), the Tongzhi Emperor granted her the name of "Ciyou" (慈佑).

Former Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai called her "the First Heroine of China", and Chinese Communist Party general secretary Jiang Zemin praised her as "the role model that the later generations should learn forever".

The admiration of white or pale skin in the region is timeworn, with ancient China being one of the first civilizations to strive to enhance pallor: One of the first skin whiteners to be recorded was rice powder, a harmless substance made by finely grinding the grain into rice bran and used cosmetically by both the Chinese and Japanese.

Some sources suggest ceruse may have been in use in very ancient times, as far back as the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC), partly due to a literary allusion to powder made from roasted lead, and partly because it’s possible that the manufacturing of lead pigments in ancient China dates back as far as lead metallurgy—the process of separating the metal from its ore—itself.

Ceruse continued to be used, at least by upper-class women who could get hold of it, for roughly the next 350 years; it was briefly out of favor during the Sui dynasty, as the empress did not use it, but became popular again under the Tang emperors. It was in this latter period that the growth of trade meant that ceruse spread to Japan, where it was used by ladies of the court until the late sixteenth century, by which point it became widely available to all women.

According to the Bencao gangmu (Compendium of Materia Medica), an ancient Chinese medical text, pearl could stimulate new skin growth and healing, as well as reduce sun damage and age spots. Recent scientific studies have confirmed this, uncovering that pearl powder can actually stimulate the skin’s fibroblasts, help to regenerate collagen, and generally improve radiance.

38 rare pictures of eunuchs during the Qing Dynasty

A eunuch (太監, Taijian) is a man who has been castrated in his early life for this change to have major hormonal consequences.

They have performed a wide variety of functions in many cultures: treble singers, courtiers, domestics, religious specialists, government officials, and harem servants.

Records of eunuchs in China date to the Shang dynasty, when the Shang kings castrated prisoners of war.

In China, castration included the removal of the penis as well as the testicles.

Both organs were cut off with a knife at the same time.

From ancient times until the Sui Dynasty, castration was both a traditional punishment and a means of gaining employment in the Imperial service

Men sentenced to castration were turned into eunuch slaves of the Qin dynasty state to perform forced labor for projects such as the Terracotta Army.

From ancient times until the Sui Dynasty, castration was both a traditional punishment (one of the Five Punishments) and a means of gaining employment in the Imperial service.

In China, castration included the removal of the penis as well as the testicles. Both organs were cut off with a knife at the same time.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were about 70,000 eunuchs employed by the emperor, with some serving inside the Imperial Palace.

Certain eunuchs gained immense power that occasionally superseded that of even the Grand Secretaries, like Zheng He, who lived during the Ming Dynasty.

When the Ming army finally captured Yunnan from Mongols in 1382, thousands of prisoners were killed and, according to the custom in times of war, their young sons – including Zheng He – were castrated. (Wikipedia)
