Features: "What is beauty" has always been a question that troubles all women, and Chinese women in particular face misinterpretations and challenges from "Western beauty," striving to showcase the unique charm of "Chinese beauty." For thousands of years, the Chinese people have had a deep affection for beautiful women, which is why the legends of plump and slender beauties are so captivating. With skin as smooth as jade, rosy cheeks, delicate fingers, and rounded shoulders and ample chests—these are the fundamental spiritual qualities of five thousand years of Chinese culture. The essence of Chinese culture lies in its ability to absorb and integrate, embracing harmony and inclusivity. It possesses both the capacity for self-innovation in beauty and the elegance to bridge the East and the West. Some believe that "tall stature, fair skin, and a youthful, vibrant physique" embody the image of beauty. Sometimes, a special gaze or a unique mouth shape can move us deeply, while others may not feel the same way. Why is this? It is difficult to explain in words. What is beauty? What is Chinese beauty? What is the beauty of Chinese women? This is the Chinese Beauty Standard White Paper. The author of this book, using professional knowledge from fields such as aesthetics, literature, medicine, nutrition, colorology, and psychology, has for the first time approached the subject with an aesthetic mindset and a pair of eyes that discover beauty, systematically summarizing and discussing the essence and standards of Chinese beauty. The book advocates for the "Chinese beauty spirit," a spirit that not only carries forward the millennia-old traditions of the Chinese nation but also pioneers a new era of history in the context of a diverse and pluralistic society.
