When the aesthetics of "white and thin" meets Qi Wei: how should we define "beauty"?

"Qi Wei, is your figure so good?" , a seemingly ordinary exclamation, but hides a deep-rooted stereotype in the public aesthetic. In today's mainstream of "white, thin and young" aesthetics, we seem to be accustomed to limiting women's beauty to slender bodies and sweet looks, and actresses like Qi Wei with a healthy complexion, a toned body and an independent temperament will make people feel "surprised" and "amazing". This leads us to ponder: how do we define "beauty"? Could it be that "white, thin and young" represents the whole of beauty?

This paper will take the discussion of "Qi Wei's figure" as the starting point, analyze the social and cultural roots behind the aesthetic phenomenon of "white and thin", and discuss the impact of the rise of diversified aesthetic trends on individual and social development.

It is undeniable that for a long time, the "white, thin and young" aesthetic has occupied the mainstream of society. This aesthetic orientation is not unrelated to the expectations of women in traditional Chinese culture. Conventional wisdom holds that women should be gentle and virtuous, while fair skin and slender bodies are seen as signs of weakness and need to be protected. The improvement of the level of economic development has also made people's pursuit of "white" more intense, and fair skin is regarded as a symbol of good life and high social status.

With the development of society and the awakening of women's consciousness, more and more women have begun to refuse to be defined, and they pursue independent, confident, and diverse beauty. For example, on March 8, 2023, college girls wearing cheongsams and dancing popping appeared on the hot search, and the girls in the video were dressed in cheongsam, perfectly integrating traditional culture and modern street dance, showing the beauty of confident, sunny and powerful women, which aroused heated discussions among netizens.

Another example is the "fitness and fitness" trend that has emerged in recent years. More and more women are walking into the gym, no longer to lose weight or cater to male aesthetics, but to pursue health, strength, and self-confidence. They use their sweat to carve tight muscle lines, revealing a beauty of vitality and strength. According to the "2022 China Fitness Industry Data Report", the size of China's fitness population will reach 360 million in 2022, of which more than 55% are women, and women's participation and spending power in the fitness field are constantly improving.

The prevalence of the "white, thin and young" aesthetic is also related to the drive of commercial interests to a certain extent. In order to cater to the public aesthetics, businesses often choose models with slender bodies and fair skin in advertising and marketing, and create a "perfect" image through various retouching techniques, which undoubtedly exacerbates the spread and influence of the "white and thin" aesthetic.

The blind pursuit of a single aesthetic standard will not only limit the development of women's personality, but also cause a waste of social resources. When all women try to stuff themselves into the mold of "white and thin", those women with unique temperaments and personalities will be ignored, and their talents and potential will not be fully realized.

Thankfully, the trend towards a diverse aesthetic is on the rise. More and more people are beginning to realize that beauty should not be defined, and everyone has their own unique charm and value. Just like Qi Wei, she was not bound by the "white, thin and young" aesthetic, but bravely showed her healthy, confident, and independent side, and finally won the recognition and love of the public.

Diversified aesthetics is not to negate the "white, thin and young" aesthetic, but to break the shackles of a single aesthetic, so that everyone can freely show their beauty and find their own self-confidence and light in an atmosphere of respect and tolerance.

Let's consider a question: what exactly should we pursue in the pursuit of beauty? Is it the same "perfection" or a unique "self"?
