The culture of each country is different, and the aesthetic will also be different. Despite the differences, human beings' pursuit and appreciation of beauty are roughly the same. In ancient China, there were four beautiful women, namely Xi Shi, Marten Cicada, Wang Zhaojun and Yang Yuhuan, these four women fell into the fish and fell into the goose, closed the moon and shy flowers, and became the goddesses of everyone.
Chinese culture has a profound influence, and the surrounding friends and neighbors have also been influenced by Chinese culture, especially Japan. Japan has great admiration for Chinese culture and is constantly learning. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of The Four Great Chinese Masterpieces, is very popular in Japan, and they love the history of the Three Kingdoms.
The Japanese people's appreciation of beauty is also unique, in their eyes there are three major "special things", these three women are absolutely beautiful goddesses, one of them is also a Chinese woman.
3rd place: Cleopatra
Cleopatra, as her name suggests, is a charming, feminine, graceful woman. Cleopatra was the last female pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty of ancient Egypt, and with her death, the Ptolemaic dynasty also came to an end.
When Caesar conquered Egypt, Cleopatra, in order to protect Egypt, did not hesitate to sacrifice herself, bent on perfection, and served Caesar so that Egypt was not invaded. Cleopatra is a woman of both wisdom and beauty, who is not only beautiful in appearance, but also witty and intelligent in heart.
Cleopatra turned between three men and maintained the stability of Egypt with her own beauty, such a woman is really legendary!
Second name: Ono Omachi
Ono Komachi is a Japanese woman and poet of the early Heian period in Japan. Komachi is not a name, but a title, and "machi" refers to the woman who works in the imperial palace.
Ono Komachi is a great beauty who is not only proficient in poetry, but also good at singing and dancing, and is a beautiful woman. Because of Ono's komachi's national color, her name became synonymous with beauty.
In Japan, if you praise a woman for being beautiful, you will say that she is "XX Komachi". Xi Shi is a beautiful woman in ancient China, she is also synonymous with beauty, the most common is "tofu Xi Shi", praising the beautiful woman who sells tofu.
There is a question in the next, how come beautiful women have to sell tofu? Why don't you sell baked cakes, called "baked cakes Xishi"!
1st place: Yang Yuhuan
Yang Yuhuan is one of the four beauties of China, the national color is heavenly fragrance, graceful and luxurious, she is the wife of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, was canonized as "noble concubine", so the world often praised her as "Yang Guifei". Yang Guifei is not only a big beauty in the eyes of Chinese, but also a big beauty in the eyes of the Japanese.
Why is Yang Yuhuan so famous in Japan? First, Yang Yuhuan was a Tang Dynasty person, the first beautiful woman of the Tang Dynasty, and a noble concubine of Tang Xuanzong, the Japanese often sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Yuhuan's name must be known to them.
If the Japanese did not know Yang Yuhuan's name after coming to the Tang Dynasty, it would be laughable and generous. I don't know Yang Yuhuan in my life, even if I call her a beautiful woman, it is in vain! Second, according to the New Book of Tang, Yang Yuhuan hanged himself in Ma Songpo.
However, there have always been rumors that Yang Yuhuan did not die, but went east to Japan. In Japan, there are also tombs and idols of Yang Yuhuan, and Japanese folk also have such legends, and even some Japanese people claim to be descendants of Yang Yuhuan. Whether Yang Yuhuan died or not in Ma Songpo in that year has also become a historical doubt.
