Cosmetics (化妆品) are commonly used by women nowadays. But what did Chinese women use in ancient times?

Over the past several years, Wang Yifan, 29, has restored (复原) more than 30 kinds of cosmetics and tools from different dynasties (朝代). Wang has taken interest in the cosmetics since she was a child.

The restoration process of cosmetics includes the following steps: making clear what the ingredients (成分) are, doing experiments (实验), comparing the test results and correcting mistakes if there are any problems. In her eyes, every step is a challenge. But finding the right ingredients is the most difficult part. Sometimes, the same ingredient might have different names during different periods.

Although the process is hard and takes plenty of time, Wang finds it worth the efforts. "Restoring cosmetics offers another way for people to learn Chinese history and know more about our nation," Wang said.

Wang Yifan is not the only one that takes actions to spread the Chinese culture. Wang Ping connects his job with it, too. Wang Ping became interested in making Chinese headdresses (头冠) in 2020. He uses different kinds of materials. Surprisingly, almost most of them are "waste" as they come from clothes that are not worn anymore. "I'm trying to make the headdresses in an environmentally friendly way. "Wang said.

One of his most popular works is Chinese phoenix coronets (凤冠) which take from one week to up to a few months because it uses over 30 kinds of materials. The process of making one is a long journey, requiring careful check and putting every piece into the right position.
