Small eyes, freckles, and sallow skin may be some of the "minefields" that women must avoid before pursuing beauty. Even an ordinary female college student knows how to draw her eyes before going out, rub some powder to cover the spots on her face, and brighten her skin tone.
However, these things, which are very rejected in the eyes of our people, have become the unique "beauty" of The Orientals in the eyes of Western "artists".
A few days ago, in the exhibition "Dior and Art" held in Shanghai, a photo of an oriental woman with gloomy eyes, dark yellow skin, mottled skin and messy hair caused a lot of controversy.
Showing an uncomfortable photo in such a promotional image will inevitably make people feel that this is "ugly Asian image".
Is it that these big international brands are not clear about the definition standards of the Chinese people for beautiful women or models? Or in their eyes such an image is the so-called "high-class face".
To find out the situation, we must also go back to 2000, when a model named Lu Yan came out of nowhere, stood on the stage of the World Model Competition, and won the runner-up in this competition. The runner-up result also became the best result for our country at that time.
However, when people in China saw the runner-up winner Lü Yan, they were a little confused: Lü Yan, who had thick lips, small eyes, and freckles on her face, did not look like a beauty, why did she get the runner-up?
The Chinese people who are catching up with the rapid development have begun to doubt themselves, is it that our vision is not advanced, and in the eyes of people in developed countries, such an image is the real "high"?
After empathetic thinking, people themselves persuaded themselves, and silently planted a thought in their hearts: no wonder those beautiful models could not win the award before, it turned out that Lu Yan's face was internationally recognized as a "high-class face".
It was from that time that the "premium face" became popular at one time, and many people began to compete to develop towards this temperament, dressing themselves as "senior".
In 2012, a set of posters titled "Twelve Colors of China" reignited the Internet. The 12 oriental models in the poster can not be regarded as beauties no matter how they look at the vision of a normal Chinese, they are all squinting, thick lips, freckles, and dark yellow skin.
In 2012, the Internet has become highly developed, and people have taken this opportunity to find answers online in order to solve their happy doubts. Is this really beautiful in the eyes of Westerners?
This search, you find out the matter.
Victoria's Secret, as the world's top lingerie brand, has signed a group of image spokespersons, known as Victoria's Secret Angels. As the world's top models, Victoria's Secret angels look beautiful, but they are not "advanced" at all.
For example, the Victoria's Secret angel Alexander Ambrosius is very youthful.
Adriana Lima is also a standard great beauty.
The angel chosen for himself is judged by normal aesthetics, how come the oriental aesthetic has become very different? Obviously, "malicious ugliness" has an "important suspicion".
Coincidentally, the Chinese Twelve Colors and this time's propaganda posters, the photographer is Chen Man, a post-80s Chinese visual artist who graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Is it that Chen Man's understanding of beauty is different from that of ordinary people?
The result is even more infuriating, Chen Man's own portrait does not deliberately reflect the "high-level" elements, fair skin, big eyes, thick and smooth hair, and her "high-class" image in her heart is very different.
This time, people were outraged. People rushed to Leave Messages under Chen Man and Dior's social content, hoping to give a satisfactory answer.
After several days of hard work, the latest development Chen Man still did not stand up and speak out, but hid the relevant content (not deleted).
It turns out that it's not that our previous models weren't high enough and not beautiful enough, it's just that some people don't want to admit their beauty.
Once upon a time, Lin Zhiling, Xiong Dailin and others were well-known models, with large eyes, fair skin, cherry-like mouths and proud figures.
The introduction of modern style beauties is finished, and the classical beauties of Chinese style are not in the minority. Liu Xiaoqing, who played "Wu Zetian".
Chen Hong, who played "Sable Cicada", Li Ruotong, who played "Little Dragon Girl", and so on.
We have never lacked beauty, nor do we lack the eyes that find beauty, and we do not lack the confidence to recognize beauty.
Once upon a time, we thought generously, wanted to use "understanding" to explain unreasonable phenomena, and felt that people are all good, maybe our thinking is not advanced enough.
Now, we must more confidently adhere to our own perception of "beauty" and resolutely say no to any deliberate "ugly" phenomenon.
Otherwise, such a "high-level" image will haunt you and me.
