Hi! Not sure if I asked this but what do the scarves mean that’s worn in some cdramas? They’re worn in the Qing Dynasty dramas. Especially in Ruyi’s royal love in the palace. Also, why is it when a woman gets married her eyebrows change? I’ve noticed that and was wondering about it

Hi, thanks for the question, and sorry for taking ages to reply! (Below - poster from cdrama Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace/如懿传)

Regarding the scarves that are worn in some Qing dynasty dramas, @guzhuangheaven gave an in-depth explanation in this post, please check it out! ^^

As for women changing their eyebrows when getting married (I’m assuming this is also referring to Qing dynasty dramas?), I did not notice that before, and honestly have no idea why ^^;; Perhaps @guzhuangheaven or @audreydoeskaren, who are more knowledgable about Qing dynasty fashions, can provide some insight?

During the Qing dynasty dramas I've noticed that concubines wore a white scarf or at least I think it's a scarf. Why is worn by them and the empress?

Hi! @guzhuangheaven answered this question in-depth here, please check it out ^^
