In the long course of nearly a hundred years of history, too many things have happened, and everything is instantaneous. The aesthetics of each era are also different, and today we will look at the aesthetic transformation of our country in the past hundred years according to the timeline.
1. 1900-1909
Aesthetic standard: A beautiful woman who speaks English and does not bind her feet
Aesthetic representative: Sai Jinlian
At that time, the book "Women's Bell" was written to advocate the feminist movement, which was a very fierce criticism of the problem of women's foot binding, and also encouraged women to cut their hair, read books, and participate in politics. This has also led to the transformation of Chongyang into patriotism in the minds of young people.
2. 1910-1919
Aesthetic standard: well-dressed women
Aesthetic representative: women dressed in "civilized new clothes"
At the beginning of the century, the slightly pioneering women's liberation movement began to take root. The germ of the women's liberation movement was fully sought after by women. Advocating free love, free marriage, and new weddings are also popular in the city. At that time, people recognized the dress code of beautiful women to wear more narrow and slender turtleneck skirts, wear black long skirts, and even came up with a special word to describe this kind of dress "civilized new clothes".
3. 1920-1929
Aesthetic standards: talented, good-looking women
Aesthetic representative: Zhang Ailing
At that time, society was a vibrant era, and the "May Fourth" Movement wanted to bring a light to the decaying and dark society. At the same time, the popular poet Liu Bannong created the word "she" for the first time, and in order to publicize the word "she", he wrote a new poem "Tell me how I don't want her".
4. 1930-1939
Aesthetic standard: a combination of Chinese and Western style women
A combination of East and West style women
As the cruise ship from Paris's latest costumes sailed into Shanghai, China, the costumes brought with them swept through Shanghai in a few months. Next, the aesthetics of the whole country are in line with Shanghai, the aesthetic wave is rushing in our country, countless media have opened columns, the most representative of which is the qipao, basically every year there is a new style of Chinese and Western combination,
Aesthetic representative: Hu Die
The appearance of Hu Die is 100% in line with all the requirements of our folk for beautiful women. In addition to her face like a silver plate, bright eyes and teeth like gelatin, a pair of dimples also added a different temperament to her. Perhaps related to a goddess like Hu Die, dimples became an important criterion for measuring beauty at that time.
5. 1940-1949
Aesthetic standards: women involved in politics
Aesthetic representative: Song Meiling
During this decade, due to the war, it was difficult to judge the aesthetic standards, and people at that time could only think of survival when they opened their eyes. But there is still a particularly attractive woman who is Song Meiling. After the end of the War of Resistance, she went to the United States to lobby and help Chinese mainland rebuild after the war, and she also spoke in standard English at a joint meeting of the two houses of congress.
6. 1950-1959
Aesthetic standard: women who dedicate their youth
Aesthetic representative: contemporary college students
When New China was first founded, there was a very famous slogan: Women can hold up half of the sky. This sentence has aroused the recognition of the majority of women, who have gone out of the house to carry out their own careers, and have also received recognition and praise from the society. Regardless of family background, education level, working environment, and personal interests, the image of a female college student who is willing to marry a soldier, worker or peasant who does not know each other has become a beautiful image of this era.
7. 1960-1969
Aesthetic standard: Women who are more men than men
Aesthetic representation: contemporary dedication to women
In the 1960s, everything in society was uniform, and men and women were only called "comrades" and "comrades-in-arms". Although they are called "girls", they have become genderless people. Except for "one shoulder and two hands, one flat shoulder and two legs" and "vowed to change the earth for a new look", they never cared about their appearance and personal feelings.
8. 1970-1979
Aesthetic standard: taboo all good
Aesthetic representative: Teresa Teng
At that time, the society regarded class struggle as the only fashion at this time, and words such as beauty, love, and emotional life were taboo. When the stifled love between men and women was slowly awakened in the Zhiqing community, it was marked by the popularity of love songs and love poems. Since 1969, some informed communities have begun to sing love songs and copy love poems, of course, these are secretly carried out.
9. 1980-1989
Aesthetic standard: cheerful and open woman
Aesthetic representative: Liu Xiaoqing
After the reform and opening up of New China, everything became lively, and women who felt cheerful and generous and dared to show their charm were the most beautiful. Liu Xiaoqing was the first woman of that era to cross her waist and say "I am beautiful". In today's parlance, she was the "offbeat person" of that era. While her "over-inflated desire for herself" makes many of her behaviors ridiculous, her never-bowed personality is truly admirable.
10. 1990-1999
Aesthetic standards: changeable
The 1990s was a period of information telling and development, so the criteria for judging beautiful women were different, and people believed that everyone had their own meaning of existence and had their own personal charm, and women who could show their characteristics through makeup, language, behavior and other means were beautiful women. More and more people believe that everyone can be a beautiful woman at any cost.
