Thousands of people, people's appearance, is always different, and when it comes to Chinese, and even Asians, in the eyes of foreigners, it seems to be the existence of small eyes and flat noses.
In addition to the factor of maliciously vilifying the Chinese people, on the one hand, it is also because a large number of Han people do leave this impression on people.
Because in ancient times, most of the Chinese in the impression of foreigners, that is, the northern Khitans and Mongols they came into contact with, were phoenix eyes with slender eyes and tails raised, which was the first impression.
But with the progress of the times, now in the Chinese, there are more and more double eyelids, if as said before, the Han people are single eyelids, then where do the double eyelids come from?
The statements in this article are based on reliable sources of information and are detailed at the end of the article
History of single eyelids
Whether it is the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qinling, or the ancient ladies, whether they are men, women or children, it seems that they all have a single eyelid, which is why when it comes to the Han people, people think of the appearance of a single eyelid for the first time.
As for the Qinling Terracotta Warriors and Horses are all single eyelids, some people analyze that it is because the ancients did not attach importance to this detail and did not have the mind to draw more with a paintbrush and carving knife, but it is obvious that this theory does not stand up to scrutiny.
Some people also say that in fact, the terracotta warriors and horses had double eyelids at the beginning, but they were weathered at the moment of unearthing, so the double eyelids could not be seen clearly.
This statement is actually not impossible, because it is said that when the terracotta warriors and horses were first unearthed, the clothes were colorful, and they turned gray in the moment they were unearthed.
But the undeniable fact is that when you walk on the streets of Shaanxi today, most people have single eyelids, and women's shoulders are mostly sloppy.
You must know that Hanzhong in Shaanxi Province is the first gathering place of Han people, and their descendants are still mostly single eyelids, which also has to show that the Han people with pure blood are indeed more single eyelids.
So, as a Han Chinese with a large population, why did they evolve so many double eyelids nowadays?
In addition to the surgical factor, the fusion and change of natural genes is naturally the primary reason, which is the so-called "mixed race".
In fact, it is really difficult to say clearly about the issue of racial mixing, the earliest stone age in Nanzhuangtou in the north is more than 10,000 years away from now, and the earlier human beings are still 12 million years ago, how did the Mongols come from, is it a branch or what, why is it so close to us?
Why are the yellow people mostly distributed in Asia, are the descendants of one ancestor separated, and have they crossed with other races to change genes?
Whether it is Japan, South Korea or Mongolia, since they are all in Asia, they may be the same ancestors, just like some people, they are proud of the village, proud of the province, and proud of the country.
In fact, if Asians trace their roots, where can they say clearly?
Seeing that several other races are proud of the yellow race, just like Bruce Lee and Liu Xiang, people like the yellow race win glory, and the Japanese and Koreans feel the glory, so as long as they know that they are Chinese.
The process from heterogeneity to acceptance to appreciation
I believe everyone has watched a lot of palace fighting dramas, and the "demon concubines of the country" in it often have a pair of "different pupils", in many scripts, the eyes of such people can often capture people's souls and make people lose their minds instantly.
Now that I think about it, this so-called "different pupil" should be the double eyelid and big eyes that are different from most Han people, as for why they take people's souls.
It's just because I'm used to seeing beautiful women with small eyes, and when I see such a beauty with thick eyebrows and big eyes at first glance, anyone can't help but fall into it.
The more ancient it is, the more it attaches importance to the purity of blood, especially in the palace, there are all kinds of explicit regulations, those who are from poor backgrounds and have inferior races.
In ancient times, it was not allowed to intermarry with the royal family, which is one of the reasons why the single eyelid was absolutely dominant in ancient times.
And why are the Han people mostly single-eyelid? This has to talk about the history of the Han people, the so-called Han people, more refers to the Mongolian people, just imagine the living environment of this kind of people can know the origin and history of their single eyelid.
Due to the large winds and sand in the desert outside the Saiwai, the human race there has evolved into a pair of squinting single eyelid eyes that are windproof and sandproof, which is caused by the environment, just look at the appearance characteristics of the Tunguska race.
In fact, most of the emperors in the Qing palace are typical Mongolian appearance, with thin eyelids and long faces, which is also the typical appearance of the ancients.
It is true that most of the Han people are Danfengyan, and most of the southern natives (including the aborigines of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai) are mostly double eyelid drops, not to mention the two Guangzhous (the characteristics of Southeast Asia are gradually increasing) The above is the situation in the south!
The north has been the most turbulent region in history, so it is also the first place where the double eyelid gene existed.
Most of the people in the Northeast, including the North of the North, are also mostly double-eyelids, and the reason for this is because of the end result of racial integration in the process of long-term turmoil.
It is precisely because of the majority of single eyelids that in the mainstream aesthetics of ancient times, beauties are often the existence of red phoenix eyes.
The famous ancient four beauties are also single eyelids, and the women in the ladies are also the same, which was the mainstream of aesthetics at that time.
Convergence is the megatrend
The history of Chinese civilization, up and down for 5,000 years, is precisely in such a change of dynasties that the integration of human genes has been completed.
In fact, since the Qin Dynasty, the Central Plains began to communicate with the Western Regions in the form of great unification, and there were also a very small number of intermarriages.
After the Han Dynasty, it was not the Han people, they were called Han people for more than 2,000 years, and before the Han Dynasty, they were called Huaxia, and the Han people inherited Huaxia, and after Huaxia was replaced by Han.
Since then, the title of the Han people has been continued for more than 2,000 years, and the title of Han nationality was used for the first time in 1903.
With the change of times, unification and exchange became more and more popular, and intermarriage became more and more, reaching its heyday in the Tang Dynasty.
With the increasing number of people with double eyelids, in the Tang Dynasty, people began to have articles praising double eyelids, including words such as "water and light flowing" and "secretly sending autumn waves", which illustrated the pursuit of double eyelids at that time.
Fashion is a cycle, from red phoenix eyes to double eyelids to today's retro beauty, there has never been the only standard for what is a beauty.
Ancient people no one cared about the wrinkles on the eyelids, this small detail was infinitely magnified, it is after the modern Western aesthetics came in, the so-called European eye shape became a beautiful representative, and the European eyelid wrinkles are the standard, and the ancient East Asian eyes have double eyelids and single eyelids, large and small, the so-called thousands of people and thousands of faces.
Everyone is different in details, shining into different faces, it is impossible for all Chinese to have the same eye shape, in fact, ancient Chinese and modern Chinese are the same, the gene is already the same on the surface, that is, the slender single eyelid about the cloud length, and Zhang Fei's big eyes and double eyelids.
It's just that the proportion of Guan Yunchang is more general, so the public is aesthetically universal, and will take Danfeng eyes as an aesthetic standard, just tell you, believe in science, what Han people are single eyelids, modern genes have long confirmed that Han genes are relatively pure.
Chinese with the same genetic ratio you sample to see that there must be both single eyelids and double eyelids, but the proportion is a problem, there is no single eyelid, or both double eyelids.
Single and double eyelids are both genetic and mutated
Nowadays, many parents have such doubts, that is, "parents have double eyelids, why are children not"?
There are also doubts about "can parents with single eyelids only have children with single eyelids", and even some people will suddenly change from single eyelids to double eyelids when they reach middle age.
This is the problem of genes, and the genetic probability of double eyelids can only reach 75%. Although the probability seems to be quite high, there is also a probability of becoming a single eyelid, which is beyond our control.
Nowadays, many people will not hesitate to go under the knife on their eyes for the sake of beauty, in order to pursue the so-called "Carslan big eyes", but in fact, is it suitable for themselves to blindly pursue double eyelids?
Obviously, the answer is no, there are also many single-eyelid beauties in the entertainment industry, who are still unique and so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off.
In short, the problem of single and double eyelids has been around for a long time, and the only thing we can do is to "accept the genes given by our parents" and strive to live a beautiful life with confidence......
