This is elaborated on in the preface by the editor. In China, beauty has also gained increasing attention in recent years. The Chinese Medical Association has established a branch for Medical Aesthetics and Cosmetology, along with the Oral Subgroup. In civilian circles, the sheer number of beauty salons is evident. Some in the field of oral medicine have even called for aesthetic issues to be included in education. However, the aesthetic aspects of teeth are still not given enough attention. From an aesthetic perspective, you can observe that many individuals appearing on screen for the public often require aesthetic dental treatments. In fact, China has always placed great importance on the beauty of teeth, possibly being one of the earliest countries to praise well-shaped teeth. The phrase "teeth like hulusi" (a type of small gourd) can be found in the Book of Songs. The Book of Songs is China's earliest collection of poetry, compiled during the Spring and Autumn Period (when Confucius edited the Book of Songs and Book of Documents). The poems in it are mostly from the early Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, so praise for well-shaped teeth dates back to about 2,700 years ago. In the Book of Songs, the poem "Shao Ren" from the Wei Feng section describes the beauty of Lady Zhuang Jiang, the wife of King Zhuang of Wei (reigned 757–735 BC), with the second chapter focusing on her beauty...
