1915年新疆老照片：美丽南疆少女及喀什古城--万维读者网

分享一组1915年南疆地区的老照片给大家。英国佩西·赛克斯（Percy Sykes）爵士于1915年4-11月，进入中国新疆考察，拍摄了很多当地的社会生活风貌。虽然佩西此行目的不明，摄影技术不怎么样，但是这些流传下来的珍贵照片，让我们直观的看到了100年前的新疆风

Yes, the old "authentic" local clothing, everything changes with time, nothing stays the same forever.

agreed,
everything changes in a natural flow, with time.
nothing turns 180 overnight.

what happened to these type of head scarf. these pictures are not from long ago.
they fell out of trend real quick? all of a sudden they stopped wearing it.

if they stopped wearing those naturally,... over time ... i wouldn't care less.

You can see from today's video some women still wear headscarfs, so no laws banning people wearing them, but they are just less and less popular now.

post the video here please. @beijingwalker

What? Three Gorges Dam still not collapsed?

It collapses every year and is magically rebuilt so it can collapse again next year.

so are they really not allowed to wear head scarf?

They can, but headscarf isn't traditional Uyghur clothing. The whole burqa/hijab thing came from Saudi influence.

This is what Uyghur women wore before being radicalized in the 1980's to early 2000's.

Family get together, some very old women still wear head scarfs but young generations don't, the old lady wearing head scarf is not a tourist, the girl in the video says it's her grandma.

do you think head scarf is a symbol of radicalization?

do you think head scarf is a symbol of radicalization?

It's not, still many old ladies wear them in Xinjiang, but this fashion is indeed fast fading out.

 

[beijingwalker]

From this recent Xinjiang rural village wedding, we can find that all grandmother generation ladies still wear head scarfs while younger generations don't, so no laws prohibiting women from wearing them, but younger generation just choose not to with their own will.
