What is the standard of beauty?
Every woman has the right and obligation to pursue self-improvement. This is the slogan of a world-famous cosmetics brand. I believe many female friends will buy the company's products because of this sentence. But can cosmetics alone make them beautiful? Of course, cosmetics will play a certain role, but it is impossible to make your appearance change instantly and become a peerless beauty. Make-up can make up for its own defects to some extent, but it can't fundamentally change its appearance. Women's pursuit of beauty has not changed for thousands of years. Even when the economy is not rich, women's attention to beauty has never diminished. The standards of female beauty vary widely in different countries in different years, but they can be summarized and classified according to several principles of comparison. A man named Hugh Truz once compiled 32 standards of female beauty. These standards are: clear skeleton outline, plump posture, plump breasts, wide pelvis, slender legs, dense pubic hair, light armpit hair, inconspicuous body hair, delicate skin, round and symmetrical head, small face, deep eye socket, high eyebrows, small chin, soft lines on face and neck, slightly round neck, flexible joints, long index finger, graceful hand shape, slightly round shoulders and small clavicle. The coccyx is clear (a gem-like bone in the hip), the muscles beside the coccyx are symmetrical, the thighs are strong, the pubic bone is blunt and prominent, the knee contour is soft, the calf is slightly round, the ankle is slender and the toes are small. Will there be beautiful women with all these conditions in the world? I'm afraid it's hard for Venus to meet these harsh conditions. If people who meet all these conditions are perfect women, then there will be no beautiful women in this world at all. In other words, the perfect woman is just people's good wishes. Not only in the west, but also in the east, there are many discussions about the standard of beauty. Throughout the ages, beautiful women always attract people's special attention. Just as China people regard Yang Guifei as the first beauty, the image of thirty-two beauties put forward by a famous Japanese painter in his "The Picture of the erotic palace" has also become the focus of Japanese attention. In particular, the painter focuses on the description and evaluation of female beauty from the perspective of sex. In his works, you can often see such expressions: the head is round as an apple, the ears are like peony, the eyes are clear as dew, the forehead is clean as a mirror, the skin is jade, the shoulder blades are thick and plump, the lips are rosy, the chin is round as jade, the joints are like newly hatched chickens, and the wrists are chubby as children, and so on. In addition, he also used a lot of metaphors to further subdivide the beauty of women and described it in detail. Generally speaking, the standards of beauty in the East and the West are inseparable from women's body lines, clear skeleton contours and skin luster. To sum up, only a healthy body can make a perfect woman. At work, I also found that women who are healthy and in good shape must not be too bad in appearance. This once again proves my theory that a beautiful appearance comes from a healthy body. Just as beautiful flowers need healthy roots, only a healthy body can have a beautiful face. It is often heard that some friends go in and out of major cosmetic clinics with the same ideas as a star, trying to change their appearance. Whenever I hear such news, I can't help but feel sorry for them, and even think that it is an act that hurts my self-esteem and despises myself. Why lose yourself and try to be someone else? What we should do is not to repeat these stupid behaviors, but to grasp our own problems and correct them. But the correction method is not cosmetic surgery. Accepting plastic surgery is like trying to make flowers look more beautiful by kneading petals, regardless of the root problem. The result is definitely futile. If you want to have a flower-like appearance, you must start with finding your own problems and diseases, so that you can appreciate the beauty of internal and external integration. Although roses are beautiful, the wild flowers in the field are not worse than roses. Does my aesthetic standard conform to today's era of emphasizing personality beauty?
