The original intention of shooting is to help everyone understand traditional culture while "being happy".
"Ladies of the Tang Dynasty" eat dumplings to bless the Lantern Festival.
On March 2nd, it was the traditional Lantern Festival. A group of pictures of "ladies of the Tang Dynasty" eating glutinous rice balls suddenly became popular on the Internet, and tens of thousands of netizens liked and commented. The official Weibo of Shaanxi History Museum and Xi ‘an Museum also forwarded them.
The protagonist in the picture is a plump and bright woman in the Tang Dynasty. She wears a tall bun and is dressed in gorgeous Hanfu. She wants to refuse a bowl of glutinous rice balls.
The caption of this group of pictures says, "No, no, no, I’m too fat to eat! Why don’t you eat one? It’s delicious. Have two more! Delicious, one more! My God! I accidentally finished eating! " These pictures are connected together to form a set of dynamic pictures.
At first, the plump woman faced the temptation of food, closed her eyes and tried to refuse. Then she held out a finger and smiled to indicate "only eat one dumpling", and then she indicated "only eat two" with two fingers … … In the end, the woman grabbed the bowl and ate all the dumplings. Facing the empty bowl, the woman frowned with her chin cupped and seemed to be remorseful.
The plump woman’s attitude of "resisting delicious food" quickly attracted a large number of netizens. Some netizens said that this group of pictures "resurrected" the ladies of the Tang Dynasty, "it is simply a walking expression pack"; Some netizens said that the woman in the picture is embarrassing and is the "Top Ten Miss Datang Players"; Some netizens said that they want to send this group of pictures in a circle of friends as a blessing for the Lantern Festival.
The creator consulted a large number of documents.
The model in the picture is Aoluojia, a Chongqing native, and also an "old cat" in the mouth of friends. On the afternoon of March 2, the reporter of Beiqing Daily contacted Ao Luo. Ao Luojia was surprised by the sudden popularity of the "Lady Tangyuan Map". Before creating this group of pictures, she also photographed the "red envelope picture of ladies" to celebrate the Spring Festival. "I didn’t expect this group of pictures to be popular at all."
The 38-year-old Ao Luojia is a mother and a designer of a Hanfu store. After giving birth to the baby, her weight rose. When she reached 180 Jin, Aoluojia felt that her weight had reached its peak and she never weighed again. "It’s almost the festival. I want to be a model myself and take a group of Hanfu photos for my clients." Aoluojia has her own ideas. "There are very few fat people who wear Hanfu, and I want to have inferiority complex. But I am a fat man with the spirit of Ah Q. When I shoot, I think about it. When I shoot, I shoot it. Anyway, it is also a true color. After shooting, it is nothing. It is good for people who look at pictures to be happy. "
Ao Luojia said that she wants to use this group of photos to help everyone understand traditional culture. "Many traditional festivals are familiar to everyone, but some traditional festivals are unknown to everyone, such as the Flower Festival, which symbolizes the growth of all things and is a very important festival."
In order to restore the Hanfu dress of the ladies in the Tang Dynasty, Ao Luojia referred to a large number of documents and materials, taking Tang figurines as the source of inspiration. Aoluojia said: "At first, like many people, I didn’t understand why the women painted in the Tang Dynasty were so big and small that they didn’t fit the human body. After I took this group of photos, I understood the paintings of the ancients. The women in the Tang Dynasty were very fat, and they were photographed with big heads and small bodies, like spindles. "
Hanfu’s pioneering work was once bumpy.
I told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the Hanfu in the picture was designed by her personally. Since high school, she began to paint, and later studied fashion design. She has been engaged in painting since graduation because she loves antique illustrations and animation.
At that time, Ao Luojia hadn’t thought that he would set foot in the fashion design industry. In 2013, Aoluo started to make handicrafts, and his business was soon at a loss. Once, a friend who loves Hanfu asked Ao Luojia to help design the inner sling of Hanfu, and Ao Luojia agreed. Finally, because there were some stocks, Aoluojia put them on the e-commerce platform and sold them at the cost price. Slowly, Aoluojia simply put the antique hobby into it and designed Hanfu.
After getting fat, Ao Luojia came up with the idea of large-size Hanfu. Ao Luojia believes that girls love beauty, and fat girls should also have suitable large-size Hanfu. Soon, she designed several sets of Tang Dynasty Fu skirts and began to sell them on the shelves. However, to Ao Luojia’s disappointment, there are very few customers who buy large-size Hanfu.
What to do with those ready-made sample clothes made Ao Luojia puzzled. She thought, it is better to put on a sample dress and take some festive photos. Now, Aoluojia’s pictures have been widely praised by netizens, and she is encouraged. She plans to continue to create a series of "Pictures of Ladies in the Tang Dynasty" in the next traditional festivals.
