With the development of civilization, the hand is not only a “tool” for labor and a human organ, but it has also been “discovered” and upgraded with inherent beauty, especially for women’s hands.
Ancient Chinese Han women took their hands delicate and white as beauty, it means that the owner of the hands of better living conditions, and superior life is who all aspire to. This aesthetic of ancient hands is reflected in many literary works.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a lyricist named Wu Wenying who had a confidante who died early. This woman had a pair of very beautiful hands, which made a deep impression on the lyricist, and he often mentioned those beautiful hands in the words he wrote in remembrance of his friend.
In order to make their hands beautiful, women in ancient China began to groom their hands at an early age, and the more common practice was to store and dye nails. Here, contained in the connotation of beautiful hands, with beautiful hands as important and more characteristic nail culture shows that it is indispensable and complementary relationship between the hands of the discursive relationship between the hands of the beauty of the hands for the nail laid the foundation for the premise of the nail, nail in the beauty of the hands of the hands of the hands on the basis of highlighting the unique, beautiful, long, soft and charming.

In addition, ancient women also commonly used nail covers. Most of them were made of metal in an ornate style and were placed on the fingers to protect the long nails. In many portraits and photographs of women in the Qing Dynasty, you can see this kind of decoration.
Dyeing the style of nail has a long history, as far back as the Tang Dynasty, dyeing the nail material is mainly wind cactus flowers. The flowers were crushed with alum and wrapped in a cloth, and the next day the nails were dyed a light red color. After two consecutive dyeing, the nails will be red and colorful, and its color will not fade for months.

To this day, dyed nails are still respected by people, now although not in the use of fenugreek dyed nails, but the pursuit of nail art forms with the development of the times and endless.
