给伪元素after添加了z-index也显示不出来是什么原因

做的轮播图，用伪元素添加的两个箭头，在调试工具上也有，但是网页上看还是被图片压在下面

 

.bigimg {
    position: absolute;
    top: 10px;
    left: 220px;
    width: 720px;
    height: 455px;
    overflow: hidden;
}
.bigimg::before,
.bigimg::after {
    position: absolute;
    top: 40%;
    width: 40px;
    height: 50px;
    text-align: center;
    line-height: 50px;
    font-size: 20px;
    color: #fff;
    background-color: #000;
    opacity: .5;
    cursor: pointer;
    
}
.bigimg::before {
    content: '<';
    left: 0;
}
.bigimg::after {
    content: '>';
    right: 0;
    z-index: 1;
}
.bigimg ul {
    width: 2160px;
    height: 100%;
}
.bigimg ul li img{
    float: left;
    width: 720px;
    height: 455px;
}
