EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1907 in Beijing (then known as Peking), showcases the striking differences in hair and costume between Chinese and Manchurian women during the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republican period. The Chinese woman on the left is dressed in traditional Han Chinese clothing, characterized by a long, flowing robe and a simple hairstyle that is pulled back and secured with a hairpin. Her hair is worn in a straight, unadorned style, reflecting the conservative and understated fashion of the time. In contrast, the Manchurian woman on the right is dressed in the ornate and elaborate attire of the Manchu people, the ruling dynasty of China from 1644 to 1912. Her hairstyle is a testament to the intricacy and grandeur of Manchurian fashion. Her hair is styled in a high, towering topknot, adorned with gold and jade ornaments, and braids that cascade down her back. Her costume is a vibrant, embroidered jacket and trousers, complete with a sash and a pair of traditional Manchu boots. The juxtaposition of these two women highlights the rich cultural diversity and regional distinctions that existed within China during this period. The Manchus, who originated from Manchuria in the northeastern part of China, brought with them their unique customs, language, and artistic traditions, which influenced Chinese culture in various ways. This photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the distinct hair and costume styles of Chinese and Manchurian women during a time of great change and transformation in Chinese history.
