Can unmarried women show their faces in ancient China?

Generally speaking, different dynasties have different ethos. In the later period, the more conservative the atmosphere, the stricter the requirements for women. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, unmarried women were not suitable for publicity, and even married women were not suitable for publicity.

In addition, women can't appear in public, and generally only apply to nobles and aristocratic families, which is the so-called "good family".

But there are no strict requirements for ordinary people. First, because of the old saying that "reciprocity is not enough for doctors", ethical codes only apply to aristocratic families, not ordinary people (of course, civilians should also be arty, and no one will stop them from demanding high standards); Second, because the living standard of ordinary people is far less than that of aristocrats, women are likely to need to make a living.
