Yang Chao's new costume work "Heavy Purple", have you seen it?
To tell the truth, the big guy in the fairy world VS the angry little disciple, plus the buff that only receives one person in this life, even if the goose does not advertise that he is a flower thousand bones 2.0, the inner taste is sufficient.
What's more, that's how it's advertised
However, Shu found that Yang Chao can be regarded as relying on exotic style and beauty in Hanfu photos to ignite the whole network N times, but as soon as the costume drama was broadcast, some people commented that her modeled face was not as suitable as modern in fairy dramas.

Coincidentally, it is rumored on the Internet that Zhang Jingyi is going to take over a costume drama, and the news is also a blockbuster, saying that the face of the heroine of this romance novel does not match the costume.
Once upon a time, classical beauty was the easiest subject for actresses to hold evenly, and ancient puppets were amazing, highly recognized, and loved by the whole people, and almost everyone took advantage of this tool to soar.
The beauty methodology of Bai Ling is placed on the faces of beauties such as Yang Chao and Zhang Jingyi that best meet the current aesthetic standards, it is reasonable to say that it should be more lustrous, but how can it make people regress?
The reason, listen to the uncle tell the story~
01
Why did the classical beauty on the screen disappear?
First of all, the classical sense is a kind of implicit beauty based on freehand, and the focus of beauty is not on impact but on white space.
Therefore, Yang Yuhuan in "Yang Guifei", Daiyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", and Qinglu in "Only This Green Green" are all in line with this artistic conception beauty.
It is said that Gong Huang belongs to the mother type beauty, although she has a large skeleton, but in the movie, thin eyebrows and fine eyes, a delicate figure, and the unique charm between the flow of eye waves, can also be attributed to the classical beauty that makes people's hearts tremble.
In short, the timeless and subtle classical sense requires patience and scrutiny. But today's information is excessive, our perception and attention are unconsciously divided into information, short videos, fragmented knowledge, patience is decreasing, and stimulation is not enough.

Therefore, modern beauty, which is opposed to classical beauty, came into being, which mainly includes the following two aspects:
(1) Maximize the effect
The whole society is rushing on the road to pursuing effects and achievements, and aesthetics also point to the ultimate effects in various dimensions, such as extremely small head (head and shoulder ratio), extremely thin waist (BM form), extremely long legs and so on.
The aesthetic branches born from this, such as phenomenal AI modeling faces, like Yang Chao, Liu Jimin, the transformed Sakura blossom, the author of the "Goddess Arrival" manga, the silhouette tightened + flattened small face, the hard photo is extremely beautiful, pointing to the surreal, ultra-calm, and technological delicate face.
Or with the Kardashian family as the leader of the exaggerated proportion, the lips are getting thicker and thicker, the waist-hip ratio flies out of the universe, and many foreign Internet celebrities rely on this extreme data to stand in the wind and eat aesthetic dividends to earn enough eyeballs.
With data as king, it can quickly reproduce people and transform people, and quickly create an atmosphere that catches people's eyes.
Therefore, even if we know that classical beauty is worth speculating, but in the topic of #according to their own aesthetic p-map, whether it is Liu Yifei or Zhou Dongyu, they still can't help but follow the logic of maximizing the effect.

A big beauty should meet the criteria, or have eyes that are extremely big, or whose shoulders are straighter than a checkered ruler, or that are surprisingly proportionate. If it is completely decent, it may be directly labeled as a common woman, and the classical shoulders are defective, and the slender eyebrows and eyes are rarely seen, and it is difficult to emerge.
This is also one of the reasons why, after Liu Shishi Chen Duling, classical beauties are almost out of print.
It is recognized that beauty always has a statistic that is extreme
(2) Stimulation intensification
As Shu Gang mentioned, we will be forced or actively bombarded with information every day, and in the long run, simple stimulation can no longer touch the aesthetic high point. Therefore, in addition to the pursuit of maximizing the effect, modern beauty also pursues a strong sense of emotional stimulation:
Such as the infatuated face that loses its proportion, like Zhang Jingyi and Sun Yezhen.
The thick skeleton from head to toe + round blunt facial features, the body shape is often not flowing and thin, and it is more suitable for sacrificing love in the present couple than the indulgence of classical beauty:
At a glance, I can imagine the picture, as if the whole world values taking, she believes in love, is willing to be a candle to burn herself, and the expression is unimplicit.
For example, the sharp and thorny cold-faced rose, like the Siberian jackal Han Suxi,
and black lotus faces that transcend morality, such as Seo Ruizhi and Kim So-yeon.
The sharp little face has towering cheekbones and sharp features, not classical and dignified and restrained, but aggressive enough, like a poisonous apple coated with red nail polish, open and dangling fiercely, I am afraid that you will not be able to see it.
In short, compared with intriguing classical beauty, modern beauty is good at creating a sense of fatal impact, leave it alone, beauty is over, more suitable for fast-paced society.
However, it should be noted that from another point of view, it may also become a spiritual arsenic on the road to aesthetic advancement for some people.
02
The dangerous B-side of modern beauty
Modern aesthetic trends are dangerous because they can have traps behind them and can easily go astray.
(1) Excessive pursuit of merit
"Burnout Society" once wrote:
The merit society is a society of affirmation, often using the positive statement "Yes, we can do it!" ”
Therefore, when measurable data standards appear aesthetically and social media recommendation mechanisms are pervasive, most people are unconsciously encouraged to move closer to the standard.
Unconsciously produce convergence, which is one of the reasons why everyone often discusses "why the beauty of the past is very recognizable" on the Internet.
In addition, everyone's ears are surrounded by the sound of "you can definitely do", as if beauty bloggers teach you this makeup set, telling you that you can become beautiful with hands; When you are anxious before the exam, Xueba tells you that you can have good results if you calm your mind.
The speaker has no intention but the listener may lose his mind, but if he can't do a little, he may fall into "I don't work hard enough, I don't work hard enough, in short, I'm not good enough."
The logic is similar to when parents say in school, "Everyone else will know you, why not?" You have to. It just became "Why are other people's faces shorter than mine?" "Exhausted on the road to achieving beauty, full of obsession but unable to grasp the essentials, resulting in so-called mental internal attrition.
But in fact, just like Liu Yifei will never cultivate right shoulders, Fan BB will never pursue a short round face, Tita Vantis will not change her makeup, and Song Huiqiao has precipitated more charm over the years.
Too many people are born with a bad fit and don't have to be 100% compliant.
(2) Loss of aesthetic vigilance
Loss of vigilance can present as real harm in the real world.
For example, the infatuated beauty that loses its sense of proportion may become a spiritual mentor who has been hurt and still plunges headlong into it.
Uncle also mentioned it when he wrote a sadomasochistic love book before, because you abuse me in the TV series and have deep love, mistakenly praising some real torture in real life as songs, and it is himself who is hurt in the end.
For example, a beautiful and handsome guy who surpasses morality is enough to look cool, but some people want to bring this aesthetic pleasure into life, evolving into an outrageous but real event of "three views follow the five senses".
It is not only the dissolution and banter of serious events, but also the harm based on the pain of others.

In the face of popular aesthetics, what should we do the most?
A period has a period of aesthetic style, if the Hong Kong style is unconstrained flowers brocade, classical beauty is restrained and freehand show wisdom, since now we are in a state of screwing:
Not only expect a hundred flowers to bloom, but also only on the road of straightforward, efficient and exciting beauty. (I don't mean that modernity is not beautiful)

How to avoid being caught up in the trend, and how can you use it to improve yourself?
The key to avoiding being held back lies in the mindset: reduce self-exploitation.
Simply put, it is to consciously reduce expectations and self-attention, and prevent the logic that everything is related to me being attached to one's head.
Positive examples, such as Yi Mengling and Yu Shuxin, who have caused bloodshed since their appearance in front of the public, have ridicule and are detached from the universal standard.
At this time, instead of falling into the logic of "positive change→ slightly smaller → self-criticism", they chose "positive change→ I have improved→ some are not suitable, this is not my fault, I will open my horizons to try more".
From this point of view, we can avoid being pushed away, pursue data standardization without restraint, and produce mental internal friction if the effect is not achieved.
Some time ago, Han Anran seemed very anxious in the live broadcast, removing makeup and changing clothes.
Using modernity to enhance beauty actually relies on denial and rejection.
After all, the increase of resources will also increase with the desire will also expand, it is unrealistic to want to grasp the beauty of all aspects at the same time, but in the end, a certain aspect is quite suitable for you, this is the time to think is "take its suit, give up its discomfort".
Small head and small face to improve the flatness of the lower face can obtain the beauty of AI comics, take this point, the road is easy to go smoothly.
And the girl with a square face and blunt eyebrows, insisting on cutting bones and dissolving fat, it is better to pinch the sense of emotion and engage in posture.
Modern Miri has no shortage of admiration for muscles and strength, and the smooth lines are both a symbol of female strength and a support for a strong physique, which is what most treasures can take.
And some seemingly practical terms, such as teaching how to draw a big circle of eyes, how to shorten the atrium, how to increase the volume of hair, just watch, but rather than follow the logic of video thinking all the way to the end, you should think while watching:
What is this done for? Do I really need it?
The shrinking atrium is not a test and soul
Just like Zhou Ye can't wear Internet celebrity makeup, Zhao Lusi is not suitable for painting Mao Geping makeup, and only by understanding the underlying logic can he really make an inventory that is beneficial to his beauty.
In other words, beauty, like success, has no standards.
But there is beauty and happiness, and that is according to your own judgment and heart.
