Ladies and gentlemen. From ancient times to the present, beauty is the center of people's discussion.
How many heroes are sad about beauty, and the pursuit of beauty is in every country, not only The beauty of China is discussed by the world, but also the unique beauty of various countries is still talked about.
Among the famous beauties recorded in the history of the world, there are relatively three more that are recognized and recognized by everyone.
And these three beauties are from three ancient civilizations: Helen of ancient Greece, Egypt, and our Chinese Tang Dynasty.
The Japanese version of the world's three beauties
But in the eyes of the Japanese, there is a different version. In Japanese folklore, there is another saying about the "three beauties of the world".
The woman who replaced the name of the first beautiful woman in ancient Greece was a very mysterious domestic woman in Japan.
In the eyes of the Japanese, the world's three most beautiful women are these three women:
The first was Cleopatra VII. This last female pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty of ancient Egypt can be described as a fallen country.
And she has also won relatively good benefits with her excellent appearance. Even the Roman kings, including Julius Caesar, were mesmerized by her appearance and fell under her pomegranate skirt, which allowed her to successfully save her country.
In Western countries, Cleopatra's reputation is very large, and even a literary hero like Shakespeare is shocked by her appearance.
Use the term "sexy woman of the world" to describe cleopatra's soul-stirring beauty.
The second beautiful woman is our Chinese Yang Guifei.
At that time, Yang Yuhuan was very favored in the Tang Dynasty, as one of the four beauties of China, she was charming, plump, and good at singing, dancing and rhythm, and won the favor of the emperor for a long time.
But after the An Lushan rebellion, he died at Ma Songyi,
Ended her life as a legend of beauty.
In Japan, there is another saying that it was only her personal maid who died, and the real Yang Guifei drifted all the way from Goguryeo by boat to a seaside village called "Kuzu" in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.
In the end, he spent his life in this small village in Japan.
And Yang Guifei is not only familiar in The history of China, but also well known to Chinese posterity. In Japan, Yang Yuhuan's reputation is even better known. The Japanese people have a great admiration for the Tang Dynasty, so they regard this unique beauty from the Tang Dynasty as a god. In Japan, you can see buildings about Yang Yuhuan everywhere.
There is not only the tomb of Yang Guifei, but also the guanyin statue of Yang Guifei. The Japanese, who are keen to pursue Yang Guifei, still regard this building as a national treasure, and people sometimes come to worship.
In the eyes of the Japanese,
The last of these beauties is a mysterious female poet from their native land, Ono Komachi.
She was a Heian-era poet, although there is no record of her identity in Japanese historical records. The place of origin is unknown, and even the time of birth and death in a few years has not been recorded in the historical records.
But it is such a mysterious woman, but the beauty has endured in word of mouth. Legend has it that her appearance is very beautiful, and the costumes she wears are also very gorgeous and dazzling. As a female poet, she is full of economy, rich in talent, which makes her have a hint of literary beauty.
Although there are not many records of her in the annals, there are depictions of her appearance in Japanese legends, ballads, and song collections.
The song says,
Ono Komachi is a woman dressed in gorgeous court costumes with long, dark, shiny hair. Plump cheeks, slender eyes, and red lips show us the style of a typical Heian period beauty at all times.
The story behind it
In fact, Ono Komachi is not her own name, machi means court, that is, the meaning of this woman working in the court.
Even the name is not my real name, which shows how mysterious this woman is.
But she, who left a large number of love verses, actually used her talent to decorate her mysterious appearance, so that future generations expected her to a higher level.
Even though Ono Komachi is now a household name in Japan, there is no way to verify her true appearance, can this enigmatic woman be called "the world's three most beautiful women"?
Perhaps for the title of "the world's three beauties", Japanese people have a certain emotional component to Ono Komachi.
But in any case, one of the "three most beautiful beauties in the world" is ono Komachi, a well-known female poet in their home country, and the other is Yang Yuhuan, who has spent the rest of her life in Japan.
The two beauties ended up in Japan, which also made the Japanese very proud and happy.
Even if this Ono Komachi is not famous in other countries, the "international mainstream" version of Helen, Cleopatra and Yang Yuhuan are the most internationally recognized, but these reasons do not affect the Japanese version of Ono's "three beauties" in Japan.
I'm incredibly proud
And the pride of the Japanese people is also irrepressible. Japanese legend says that Yang Yuhuan spent the rest of his life in Japan, making the Japanese more proud, and two of the "three beauties" are in Japan.
Because of his deep belief in this matter, Japan's love for Yang Yuhuan is not only obsessed with the beauty of it, but also mixed with ando-like emotions.
The imitations of Yang Yuhuan's makeup and costumes that can be seen everywhere, as well as the architecture of Yang Yuhuan, which is regarded as a national treasure, all reflect the Japanese people's love for noble concubines. There is also the pride of one of the beauties staying in Japan.
Not to mention ono, the mysterious background and unverifiable information make her beauty more mysterious. Even if her portrait has been lost for a long time, it will not be visible to posterity. These regrettable events, like the large number of love poems she left behind, adorned the temperament of this talented female poet.
And the Japanese only put these things on the decoration of this strange woman's spirit.
Always in a mysterious state, she has always maintained the status of "the world's three beauties" in Japan, which also makes Japanese people more proud and proud.
Beauty is what everyone likes, and eye-catching can also represent the local spirit. It also makes other countries envy their own countries. Therefore, this version of the "three beauties of the world" is enough for the Japanese to be proud and always repeat it to future generations.
Two of the three beauties are in their home countries, which really makes the Japanese proud for a long time, and the beauty shocks future generations enough to relish and even circulate in the world today.
Since the ancient beauty has a thin life,
Although they are still regarded as synonymous with beauty, looking back at their ending is not good. Yang Guifei ended her life in a grassy way. Cleopatra did not escape the end of the red face and thin life, and ending herself with a poisonous snake was really regrettable. Even Ono Komachi, Japan's most proud beauty, could not end his mysterious life in the complicated environment of the court.
And it is precisely because of their soft and broken lives like flowers that posterity sometimes laments their imperfect situation!
