Niu Cobalu won the Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace Initiative because he used the right flowers and plants.

Recently, when I was writing an article in April, I occasionally mentioned a "strategy for extending the Jubilee", which was a delight to everyone. If I didn't find it, I must not have read it carefully, huh ("☆")

For more than half a month, people have asked April to write this fire palace fighting drama every day. I can't resist the enthusiastic cries of the masses. It's almost over. If we don't talk about it soon, it will be too late!

The fried Morandi color will not join the fun in April. Today, April, I want to talk about the exquisite costumes and props in the play, and the queen's favorite velvet flowers.

Story of Yanxi Palace

This summer, I love a lot of people, but also hate a lot of people, all because of one person: Niu Hulu Yu Ma.

As soon as Yu Ma's "extended Jubilee Strategy" began to broadcast, it was favored by thousands of young girls. As a person who hasn't watched a TV show for a long time (the last time I read the article in blue in "1001 Nights"), I fell.

I don't even want to skip the beginning and the end of the film.

The reason why this play is sought after by everyone, in addition to the ups and downs, no procrastination of the plot, the picture is really too pleasing to the eye!

On the hue, a unified low saturation filter is added, which has become the "Morandi" color sought after by everyone. Compared with a filter, April feels that the construction of the scene and the exquisite costumes in the play are more worth talking about.

Clothing section

Why are there so many court dramas, while the costumes in the Jubilee Strategy look so exquisite? The hue is only the surface, and what really makes it look high-end is its needle-by-thread intention.

The ladies' clothes use traditional handicrafts such as silk, hand-push embroidery and seed embroidery, and the crew also invited embroidery Niang, who once worked in the restoration of cultural relics in the Imperial Palace, to sew the clothes herself.

Plum orchid, bamboo chrysanthemum and so on are often used in the application of flower patterns.

According to the character of the character, the clothing also changes.

At the beginning, most of the concubines were plain clothes with bamboo leaf patterns.

On the other hand, the noble concubines are mainly dark.

The pattern is dominated by large chrysanthemums and peonies.

Scene chapter

The whole play, whether in large or small scenes, embodies the style of Chinese classical architecture and gardens, and the screenshots of each frame have a static beauty of harmony.

Match with plants, such as a round picture frame.

Put the delicacy of the courtyard into the door frame

The twists and turns of ancient wood branches make it more elegant.

In a small indoor scene

Screens with flower patterns are the most common.

There are often jade porcelain or enamel bottles on the desk.

Flower arrangement in the bottle also has a Chinese flavor.

Props

There are many props in the play, such as palace lanterns, incense burners and jade dishes. Everything is exquisite. Of course, the most common ones are the ornaments that ladies often wear and the fans they often play with.

Hand stoves and sachet are decorated with exquisite patterns

Most of the fans used by the queen are painted with the tricks of the four gentlemen.

Just like her character, she is gentle and kind.

The imperial concubine is arrogant and domineering.

The color of the fan she holds is bright and strong.

There are mainly two kinds of hair ornaments for palace maids and empresses, Zhu Cui and Tongcao velvet flowers.

The spot jade technology used by the former pearls

It needs to be inlaid with kingfisher feathers, which is very expensive.

It is said that in order to restore the green point, the crew also has to ensure environmental protection.

Bought artificial feathers, stained and pasted one by one.

In order to achieve the effect as thin as hair.

Compared with Zhu Cui, Tongcao velvet flowers are more simple.

The silk is processed and dyed and made by hand.

Next, the key point in April is to use grass and velvet flowers.

Tongcao velvet flower is the general name of a kind of false flower, which is homophonic and glorious. According to legend, Wu Zetian was listed as a royal tribute in the Tang Dynasty and became an online celebrity during the reign of Kang and Qian in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, there was a "flower market" in Nanjing, but it sold not fresh cut flowers, but velvet flowers, which shows how much the girls loved them.

According to the biography of the concubine in the draft of the History of the Qing Dynasty, "Empress Fucha of Qianlong was usually frugal, decorated with fluffy flowers and not imperial pearls, and the harem followed suit."

The "cash cow-shaped velvet" worn by Queen Fucha

It is the most complicated piece in the whole play.

From a distance, the overall tone is clear and natural.

With light clothes, it is very elegant.

On closer inspection, the fluff is as fine as hair.

The florets are stacked one after another with a beautiful shape.

Queen Fucha abandoned Zhu Cui and chose velvet as her headdress. In addition to advocating frugality to set an example in the sixth house, what is more important is her detached and indifferent attitude towards wealth and power.

She saw through the material and wealth, but also saw clearly the interpersonal relationships and emotions, everything is gentle and gentle, never fierce, do not fight, do not rob.

The velvet flowers worn by the concubines in the Qing palace will vary according to different grades. The velvet flowers worn by imperial concubines and queens are large, multi-layered and complex in shape, while the style of ordinary palace maids is relatively simple.

The velvet flowers worn by embroidered maids.

Are relatively small, and only wear on one side.

The maids of the great palace around the concubine will be of higher grade.

The shape will be more complicated, but not as big as the masters.

It is not easy to make a velvet flower. It takes brass wire and silk as raw materials and goes through dozens of processes to complete.

All the cashmere flowers in the Yanxi Strategy are all created by Zhao Shuxian, the non-legacy heir of Nanjing velvet flowers. It will take at least two or three days to make a velvet flower with a diameter of about 10 centimeters, not including the preliminary work.

Today's velvet is no longer a common ornament, but has become an art, conquering the fashion world with traditional charm.

Has worked with Herm è s, LV and other big brands.

Let tradition and fashion blend perfectly.

Before the show was broadcast, speaking of velvet flowers, the first thing that came to mind in April was the song "velvet flowers". "there is a beautiful flower in the world / it is youth spitting fragrance / clank bone blossoms / bleaching blood to dye it red."

We can guess from the lyrics that the velvet flower in this song should be a kind of red flower, and the latter half of the lyrics say it is "fragrant all the way to the cliff", indicating that the velvet flower is fragrant, grows on a high mountain and has a proud character. So many people speculate that the velvet flower may be rhododendron or kapok.

Azalea also known as Yingshanhong

Legend has it that in ancient times there were cuckoos that wailed day and night and bled.

Get its name from flowers that dye red all over the mountain

This corresponds to the description in the lyrics.

It's just that the rhododendron petals are light and thin without the slightest trace of velvet.

Kapok is also called Hero Flower

The flowers are red, like the blood of a hero on the treetops.

The lag of flowers will be replaced by cotton.

It's a bit of a "velvet" flower.

In April, I looked for velvet in the Flora of China, but found two different kinds of flowers, Albizia and Juglans mandshurica, both of which are nicknamed velvet trees.

It is easy to understand that Hehuan is called a velvet flower.

The long, thin hairs scattered at the top of the branch

When the wind blows, it is like a pink fluffy fan.

Liriodendron, many people have not seen it.

It has small white flowers with no fluff on its petals.

But there are white velvet flowers on the buds and twigs.

Or maybe the protruding stamens are like villi.

That's why they call it a velvet tree.

As for whom the name of velvet belongs to, April did not feel the need to take it so seriously. Like the velvet flower in the song, it is a kind of artistic reappearance and imagination which originates from life and is higher than life.

It is not so much a flower as a temperament. This kind of temperament is elegant and noble, like chrysanthemum, peony and orchid, which is the fusion of Chinese traditional flower temperament.

At the same time, she kept a low profile and kept a detached attitude, just like Queen Fucha in the play. even though the whole world was fighting, she was always kind and became the white moonlight in Qianlong's heart.

Sister Wei's palace struggle is coming to an end.

I don't know how many days the queen has been gone, missing her.

What else do you want to say about this play?

Friday night, have a chat.

Except for those who like er Qing.
