We've been misled by the extravagant costumes of Chinese dramas whether Taiwan, HK or mainland productions, where even the beggars are fat n wear clean new clothes.

Let's look at some real photos of commoners in those days. Of course where the photos are posed the people dressed up for the photos as it's not as easy as today to hv photos taken. And such photos are of relatively well off commoners.







Poor folks



Mixed

turn of the century time qing court phailing oredi

those were tumultuous times when china was at her weakest and warlords reigned supreme

Aiyah dun say liddat la, it's not true.

Poor hv no dental hygiene where got teeth to be black?

No beautiful lady and handsome young man last time. Maybe the geographical (yunnan and northern people), diet, etc. Pic from 1930/ww2 era is different, can see beauty and handsome lad.

Pls include the time span of the era. Not everyone knows when was the Qing era period n no hab time too giggle..

It's just the styling that makes the difference.

V clean hor

The year probably around 1880-1900. Camera was invented during american civil war and movie is around 1880++
Pic where you see male without pig tail is around 1900 ( during this time many cut off their pigtail.

1911 mark fall of qing dynasty.

Nope, not because of styling. I mean I look at their face. Let me know if you spot any beautiful lady / handsome guys. Let's research together.

Also you have pic from Southern china? Maybe there we can see more han people and they might be good looking.
