Many people wondered if Emperor Qianlong had single eyelids, after reading last week's post. 上周推送点赞最多的评论是个“灵魂拷问”：乾隆是单眼皮吗？ There is a portrait of a young Qianlong in the ceremonial robe displayed on Palace Museum's website. I magnified it to the maximum size, and it turned out the emperor had in-fold double eyelids. 亲亲们的疑问我向来有问必答。上面是上周出现过的《乾隆皇帝朝服像》，故宫的馆藏，大家也可以在故宫的网站上找到。我把它调到官网允许的最大尺寸。你们猜怎么着，乾隆爷是内双。 Speaking about Qianlong, I feel that I have watched the emperor being portrayed as the protagonist of more drama series than other monarchs in the Chinese history, since I was a little girl. 说到乾隆爷，自小看了不少清宫正剧和戏说的我总觉得他应该是中国古代帝王里“出镜”最多的了。乾隆是雍正第四子，看来“四爷很忙”是个遗传。 ▲ 图片来自网络 Ru Yi's Royal Love in the Palace and Story of Yanxi Palace are two recent examples. I was immediately awed by Ru Yi's headdress when I first saw the posters for the series. 最近的例子应该就是《如懿传》和《延禧攻略》了。一开始看到《如懿传》海报的时候，我就被如懿头上的那顶女帽惊艳到。 ▲图片来自网络 This luxury item, richly ornamented with intricate kingfisher feathers, is called a dianzi, something often worn by Manchu women of aristocracy. 这件缀满翠鸟羽毛装饰（就是点翠技艺）、无比奢华的头饰叫做钿子，常见于满清贵族女性的穿戴中。 ▲ 这位小主（名字我忘了）头戴的也是钿子。图片来自网络 You will also find two fine examples at the Hall of Great Treasures and Ancient Chinese Culture: Costume and Adornment, at the National Museum of China. 在国博的《金玉满堂》和《中国古代服饰文化展》上各有一件钿子展出。 ▲ 点翠钿子 乾隆时期 沈阳故宫博物院藏 ▲ 料花钿子 故宫博物院藏 The framework of a dianzi is woven with bamboo or wire, normally covered with black silk. 钿子的框架一般是用黑色丝绒包裹的竹藤或者铁丝编织而成。 ▲ 光绪帝皇后曾戴过的凤钿 故宫博物院藏 The special structure features a curved front and a flat slope on the back. 钿子的形状很特别，前部弯曲，后部是个平整的斜面。 ▲ 点翠钿子 故宫博物院藏 ▲ 钿口，钿子上的装饰物 故宫博物院藏 The openwork allows for the addition of pearls, semiprecious stones and other decorations with auspicious implications, depending on whether the headdress was for a festive event or a casual situation. 这种镂空设计的便利之处是可以根据佳节或者日常穿戴的需要，在帽子上插上各种装饰，珍珠、宝石、各种寓意吉祥的花饰等等。 ▲ 四爷明示分享收藏点赞在看~ Photos courtesy of Palace Museum, Shenyang Palace Museum and National Museum of China图片致谢故宫博物院，沈阳故宫博物院和国家博物馆 Have a nice weekend~ 记者：林琦
