Features: "What is beauty" has always troubled 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 have had a deep appreciation 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, the essence of five thousand years of Chinese culture lies in its ability to absorb and harmonize, embracing both self-innovation and a refined aesthetic sensibility that bridges East and West. Some believe that "tall stature, fair skin, and a youthful, vibrant physique" embody the image of beauty. Sometimes, a special gaze or a distinctive 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 employed an aesthetic mindset and a pair of eyes that discover beauty to systematically summarize and discuss the essence and standards of Chinese beauty. The book advocates for the "Chinese beauty spirit," which is submerged in a materialistic world, carrying forward the millennia-old traditions of the Chinese nation while also creating a new historical chapter in this era of diversification.
