What do ancient beauties usually look like?

No one has seen it, but it is not without standards.

-

China ancient beauty must have these conditions to be called beauty.

1, black hair and cicada temples.

A woman's hair should be as black and shiny as black paint. When standing, long hair pours down like a black waterfall, which is not only shiny, but also exudes charming fragrance.

2. Clouds.

Cloudy temples and foggy hair describe women's hair as a cloud, tied high.

3, moth eyebrows indigo naturalis.

Women in the Zhou Dynasty, thrush prevailed, shaved off their eyebrows first, and then used "Dai" to describe the shape of eyebrows at will. The so-called "wearing" is to paint the eyebrows black with a pen. In The Book of Songs of the South, the eyebrows of beautiful women are described as "moth eyebrows". The so-called "moth eyebrow" means that the eyebrow shape is as light and natural as the wings of a moth. This kind of eyebrows was one of the most popular eyebrows at that time.

4. Bright eyes flow.

In addition to the mouth, the eyes are also one of the tools to convey the hospitality. There is an idiom "flirting", which is what it says. A pair of beautiful eyes has been one of the important conditions to describe beauty since ancient times. The so-called "bright eyes" refer to dark and big eyes, and "flowing clouds" is also commonly known as "blinking". Imagine if a woman winks at a man with a pair of beautiful eyes, then the man will be easily tempted.

5, red lips and white teeth.

As the name implies, red lips and white teeth are red lips and white teeth. As the saying goes, red lips can not only make teeth look white, but also white teeth can set off the bright color of lips, so these two conditions are complementary and indispensable.

6, jade finger arm.

China has attached great importance to fingers since ancient times. There is a fortune-telling method called "touching bones", which is touching the palm of your hand. A beautiful woman should not only keep her nails long, but also trim them neatly. Some people say that ten fingers can represent the ingenuity of a person's life, and it also has a lot to do with the rise and fall of life. Most people with slender fingers are quite smart, while those with pointed fingertips indicate wisdom, and those with full elbows and rounded arms are easy to succeed. The ideal finger should be the fingertip, thin, long and tender. Fingers that meet these conditions are what adults usually call "slender fingers".

In addition to fingers, beautiful women's arms must be white and tender, as plump, round and elastic as jelly. Such arms are described as Hao arm and Su arm.

7. Fat and thin.

There are two kinds of beauties in China: one is a plump beauty like Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty (peony for short); The other is the slim beauty of Zhao in Han Dynasty (which can be compared to the posture of willow). That is, a charming lady and a slim beauty with both reason and temperament. Of these two beauties, China people prefer the latter. Therefore, most of the beautiful women praised in literature and history books are slender. For example, King Chu Ling was particularly interested in women with thin waists, so women in the harem tried their best to lose weight, hoping to win the love of King Chu Ling, so many women in the harem starved to death. Lin Daiyu in A Dream of Red Mansions, as a representative divorced from reality, is so thin.

In addition to the slender waist, the skin must be crystal clear, preferably as white as snow. "Snow skin" is also one of the important conditions for a beautiful woman.

8. Lian Bu socks.

"Lian Bu" is used to describe the appearance of foot-binding women, and "small socks" refers to the small socks worn by foot-binding women. Because there is a special chapter on "foot binding" at the back, it is omitted here.

9, red makeup whitewash.

This refers to the way women blush with white powder.

10, Xiangpi.

Beauty's skin has a fragrant fragrance, but it is not the fragrance of rouge, but the natural fragrance of female skin.
