Even in the context of globalization, the PRC remains a mystery to Europeans, and many aspects of Chinese life invariably surprise Europeans. This is largely due to the long isolation of this country, as well as the stringent rules governing life, which were adopted in the Mao era. The same applies to the traditional canons of female beauty, which are radically different from European ones. Nevertheless, recently, thanks to the efforts of plastic surgeons, many attractive girls of model appearance have appeared in this country. The most beautiful Chinese women in the world (meaning the photo, of course) sometimes even appear on the covers of famous Western fashion magazines, which was difficult to imagine 10-15 years ago.
Traditional beauty canons
Chinese civilization has been many thousands of years. During this time, special views were formed on what should be the most beautiful Chinese woman. According to ancient canons, a girl’s appearance must meet the following parameters:
- She should have “porcelain” skin with a pink blush. This requirement is still relevant today, so residents of the Middle Kingdom are doing everything to protect themselves from the rays of the sun, using not only sunscreens, but also wearing wide-brimmed hats and protecting hands with gloves.
- The hands of a beautiful woman should be flexible and graceful, and her fingers should be tender and long, but not bony.
- The most beautiful Chinese woman and any of her compatriots applying for this title should be the owner of shiny, thick and long black hair. This requirement has often been violated recently, as Chinese women actively lighten their hair and make short haircuts.
- The Chinese have always preferred girls with big eyes. Unfortunately, nature has awarded them only a few Chinese women. Recently, however, plastic surgeons have come to the aid of the fair sex, who take inexpensively enough to increase their incision.
- Traditionally, the Chinese admired the girls with round, smooth and even full-bodied shapes. Today the picture has changed, and thin girls with a model appearance are in fashion.
"Lotus leg"
Over the course of several centuries, one more requirement was among the canons of beauty adopted in China. Moreover, his non-compliance automatically excluded the possibility of a successful marriage for the girl. In order to comply with this rule, at an early age the girls' legs were bandaged in a special way in order to prevent their growth and to give a pointed shape to the toe. Some mothers could overdo it so much that over time, their daughters became disabled and almost could not move on their own.
