Features: What exactly is beauty? How can we see through the essence of beauty? Not everyone has a standard answer in mind. The author of this book delves into the nature, characteristics, and status of appearance beauty in fashion culture from multiple levels, attempting to reach the conclusion that the pursuit of physical beauty is the driving force of human genetic evolution, a blend of human desires and fantasies. It is neither inherently good nor bad, and appearance does not represent everything—it cannot tell us about a person's wisdom, kindness, empathy, and other inner qualities. And these qualities are equally the reasons why we call something beautiful.
