In many countries in Asia and Europe, a very important criterion for judging beauty is "white skin", and there is even a saying that "a white hides a hundred ugliness". This is the value and aesthetic concept formed after thousands or even tens of thousands of years of development. It's ingrained from the moment we're born, and it's hard to change. And people with black skin will inevitably be incompatible with traditional thinking.
During the pre-Qin and Han dynasties in China, black people were collectively referred to as "僬侥", which means short black people. It is also recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Biography of the Southwest Yi of the Southern Manchus: "More than 3,000 mouths such as the Outer Jiaojiao Breed Yilu Class were attached to the inside, and ivory, buffalo, and sealed cattle were sacrificed." It can be seen that at that time, there were black people outside the country who began to belong to China. The heyday of black activities in China was in the inclusive and open Tang Dynasty, and black people had a general name during the Tang Dynasty: Kunlun Nu." The Old Book of Tang and the Biography of Nan Man records: "South of Linyi, all of them had curly hair and black bodies, and their common name was Kunlun. "These black people came from the South Sea Islands and the African region, so Kunlun is just a generic name.
In the history books, most of the descriptions of "Kunlun Nu" are physically shaped, such as what: "strong as an ox, thick temperament, down-to-earth and straight" and so on. This is clearly very different from traditional Chinese aesthetics, and in ancient times the use of "slave" to describe a group is itself a derogatory term. In short, since ancient times, in the eyes of Eastern and Westerners, "beautiful" seems to be incompatible with African women, but there are exceptions, in northeast Africa, there is a country called "Ethiopia". Being called the "country of beauty" in Africa has made people change their impression of Africa in the past.
Ethiopia is a 3,000-year-old ancient civilization and a landlocked country located in northeast Africa, with a land area of 1,103,600 square kilometers and a total population of 105 million. Ethiopia is in the spotlight because it is a country rich in beautiful women. This is recognized not only by Africa, but also by the world. Ethiopian beauties can often be seen in the world's major beauty contests, and dozens of international supermodels have come out of Ethiopia. And ethiopian beauties can sing and dance and have a variety of styles.
Compared with girls from other African countries, Ethiopian women have a more pale skin color, and their faces are delicate, with a straight nose, a broad forehead, large eyebrows, and no thick lips. Even in terms of body shape, it is more petite and exquisite. So why is there such a big gap in appearance in the same birth in Africa?
The reason is actually very simple, from the name of this country can know the truth, "Ethiopia" actually has another name called: "Abyssinia" means "mixed race", since the sixteenth century, Ethiopia has been invaded by Portugal, the Ottoman Empire, the British, naturally there will be a "mixed race" situation. Therefore, their skin and facial features are gradually integrated with the characteristics of Westerners.
Of course, it also has a lot to do with the geographical environment of Ethiopia, Ethiopia has an average altitude of nearly 3,000 meters, of which the plateau area accounts for two-thirds of the land, so the local climate is also very warm and humid. Although it is still tropical, the climate is relatively mild, so the beauty of "fine skin and tender meat" has an adequate maintenance environment.
