Exquisite, as if it has become the "traffic password" of contemporary women.
Turn on your phone, and the overwhelming "Exquisite Girl" tutorials are flooded with major platforms: Exquisite Girl Commuting Essentials, Exquisite Girl Travel Essentials, Exquisite Girl Dating Essentials...... It seems that as long as you collect these "exquisite cheats", you can instantly get rid of the bits and pieces of life and become a perfect goddess.
However, have you ever thought that these "exquisite" products that are carefully packaged and produced like an assembly line are really suitable for you? Have you ever fallen into the trap of consumerism orchestrated by merchants to pay for your own anxieties?
1. The illusion of "exquisiteness": from perfection in the filter to the "rollover scene" in reality
Videos of "delicate girls" often start with a well-laid out scene.
Under the soft light filter, a girl with exquisite makeup walked with a full suitcase.
Their suitcases, like Doraemon's pockets, contain all sorts of delicate little things: disposable toilet mats, disposable bed sheets, portable humidifiers, folding electronic organs, and even foot soakers and massagers...... It's like going to a grand "exquisite" show, rather than an ordinary trip.
Once on the high-speed train, they began a dizzying series of operations: wiping down seats with disinfectant wipes, laying disposable sheets, taking out portable humidifiers, and arranging delicate flower arrangements...... Even when you drink water, you have to pour it into a blingbling goblet and serve it with a delicate dessert, as if you were shooting a magazine cover.
The comment area is full of netizens' "envy, jealousy and hatred" messages: "Sister, are you going to travel or moving?" "This is too exquisite, I'm sour! "I want to be such a delicate girl too! ”
However, behind this glamour, there are well-designed scripts and routines.
In order to test the practicality of these "exquisite" items, a blogger specially prepared a full set of equipment according to the list in the video and embarked on a "delicate" journey.
However, the reality has slapped the "exquisite" in the face: the small table cannot fit the infrared keyboard, the humidifier is complicated to operate, and the disposable products have caused a lot of waste...... This "exquisite" journey ended in a "rollover".
Coincidentally, the once smash hit "Northeast Rain Sister" incident also revealed the truth behind the Internet celebrity video. The warm and harmonious family atmosphere in the video is actually a well-built scene; Those simple and touching pieces of life are just plots performed according to the script.
The video of "Exquisite Girl" is like a carefully retouched photo, full of filters and beautification, showing only the beautiful side, and those imperfect, inconvenient, and impractical details are deliberately hidden.
And we are easily confused by these glossy surfaces, ignoring the truth behind them, and willingly paying for our own anxieties.
2. The essence of "refinement": a "scam" orchestrated by consumerism
Why is the video of "Exquisite Girl" so popular?
Because it hits precisely the anxieties of contemporary women.
Under the pressure of a fast-paced life, many women are eager to relieve anxiety, enhance their sense of self-worth, and show the outside world that they are doing well by pursuing "refinement".
And the merchant grasps this psychology and uses the concept of "exquisite" to package all kinds of dispensable goods as "essential for exquisite girls", creating consumption anxiety and inducing women to make impulsive consumption.
They are well versed in marketing, implanting products into various "exquisite" scenes, and then through the promotion and planting of KOLs, consumers can generate psychological hints of "I need", so as to willingly pay for "exquisite".
From skin care products to makeup, from clothing to accessories, from household goods to electronic products, merchants have infiltrated the concept of "sophistication" into various fields, constantly creating new consumer demand and stimulating people's desire to buy.
However, can this kind of "refinement" wrapped in consumerism really bring happiness?
The answer is clearly no.
Excessive pursuit of material accumulation will only make people fall into endless comparisons and comparisons, lose themselves, and eventually become slaves of consumerism.
The anxiety and emptiness that are covered by the aura of "refinement" will not disappear because of how many expensive goods are purchased, but will continue to breed and spread in the "buy, buy, buy" again and again.
The real "refinement" is never the accumulation of materials, but the fullness of the heart and the richness of the spirit. It is not about money and material things, but a positive attitude towards life, an affirmation and pursuit of self-worth.
Instead of pursuing external "refinement", it is better to focus on inner improvement and live your true self, which is the fundamental way to fight anxiety and achieve happiness.
3. The Misconception of "Refinement": Don't let consumerism define your life
The video of "Exquisite Girl" seems to convey to us a value: with these "delicate" items, you can become a better and more advanced person.
However, this notion itself is a huge misunderstanding.
True "refinement" is never defined by matter.
It is not how expensive the bags you carry, how gorgeous the clothes you wear, and how high-end skin care products you use, but how you have an independent personality, a rich spiritual world, and a love and pursuit of life.
It is that you take every meal seriously and feel the beautiful details of life with your heart; It is you who insist on learning, constantly improve yourself, and live a wonderful day; It's you who are brave enough to pursue your dreams, undaunted by challenges, and live your true self.
The blind pursuit of material "refinement" will only make you lose yourself in the whirlpool of consumerism, lose your sense of control over life, and eventually become a slave to material things.
And those who really live a "delicate" life often have a strong heart and independent thinking ability.
They will not be coerced by consumerism, they will not blindly follow the trend, but they know exactly what they want and strive for it.
They don't ignore their inner feelings in pursuit of external "refinement", but know how to listen to their inner voice and live their true selves.
Fourth, the true meaning of "exquisite": living the true self is the best "exquisite"
So, how can we live a truly "delicate" life?
First of all, it is necessary to get rid of the trap of consumerism and establish a correct outlook on consumption.
Don't blindly consume for the sake of "refinement", think rationally about your own needs, and put your money and energy into what is truly valuable.
Secondly, we should pay attention to inner improvement and enrich our spiritual world.
Read more, travel more, experience different lives, and constantly broaden your horizons and improve your cognitive level.
Most importantly, be brave enough to be yourself and live your true self.
Don't be bound by the world's eyes, don't change yourself to cater to others, believe in your own worth, and be brave enough to follow your dreams.
"Exquisite" is not a standard, but an attitude, a love and pursuit of life.
It is not to please others, but to make one's life happier, freer, and more exciting.
Instead of pursuing those ethereal "refinement", it is better to be down-to-earth, manage your life with your heart, and live your true self, which is the best "refinement".
5. The future of "exquisiteness": embrace the truth and live a wonderful life
The "rollover" of the "delicate girl" is actually a wake-up call, reminding us not to be kidnapped by consumerism and not to lose ourselves in the pursuit of "exquisiteness".
The real "refinement" is not the accumulation of materials, but the abundance of the heart; Not to please others, but to make one's life happier.
Let go of anxiety, return to the truth, feel the beauty of life with your heart, and live your own wonderful life, this is the true meaning of "exquisite".
The future of "refinement" is not the pursuit of cookie-cutter perfection, but embracing the truth, living individuality, and living oneself.
I hope that every girl can get rid of the trap of consumerism, live her true self, and live a wonderful life of her own.
