Suzhou and Hangzhou have produced beautiful women since ancient times. It is said that this sentence has existed at least since the Song Dynasty. A word can travel through 1000 years of time and space, and maybe it is the truth. In April, when Beijing was covered with yellow sand, it rained for several days in the south of the Yangtze River. For the phrase "Suzhou and Hangzhou have beautiful women since ancient times", we shuttled through the alleys of Suzhou and Hangzhou. But a few days later, I found that simple search lost its meaning, and no one could represent it all. It turns out that the beauty of a Suzhou-Hangzhou woman is inseparable from the mysterious past life. Sister Lin sighed not at Baochai's butterflies dancing among the flowers, but through the green screen window ... In the past life, a helpless signboard mentioned Suzhou and Hangzhou beauty, and many people would think of the stone that was the first of the four beautiful women in ancient times. She was born in Zhuji, Zhejiang, and is a close neighbor of Hangzhou. In addition to the stone, we can't help but mention Liu, the concubine of celebrity Qian in the late Ming Dynasty, Dong Xiaowan who was dumped by the emperor shunzhi, and Chen Yuanyuan, the crown of eight beauties in Qinhuai ... "It's not a love affair, but it seems to be mistaken by the frontier". These women are all from brothels without exception. According to Shen, a researcher at Suzhou Folk Museum, it became a social fashion for famous prostitutes in the south of the Yangtze River to associate with celebrities in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, famous prostitutes in Jinling, Huaiyang and Gusu were famous for their beauty and were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. At the end of Qing Dynasty, there was a mysterious woman in Suzhou-Sai Jinhua. In the 10th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, Hong Jun, the returning champion, was employed as a concubine. Later, she traveled to many countries with Jun Hong and learned English, French and German, which made her famous. In the interview, the reporter found that Jiangnan culture has given great tolerance to such women who have strayed into brothels. In order to mourn for future generations, there are "Su Xiaoxiao's Tomb" by Xizi Lake and "Mother's Tomb" in Suzhou Huqiu. Similarly, in Huqiu, it is said that Sai Jinhua built a garden with Hong Jun in the same year, and asked celebrities to write couplets: "A hundred generations of beautiful women live next to each other, and the fragrant pavilion is full of flowers and shadows. Ask Han Han (the famous spring in Huqiu)." It was a wonderful conversation. Prosperity is not a thing of the past. Only by understanding that particular history can we ignore their disgraceful status. In this regard, when the reporter interviewed Mr. Shen Shilao, the former director of Suzhou Cultural Center, the old man said without hesitation that Suzhou girls became famous to a large extent from ancient prostitutes, but it was by no means just that. The reporter learned from a Suzhou folklore publication that Suzhou and Hangzhou have been outstanding people and respected culture since ancient times. As Xie Hui, a native of Changzhou, said, the local "people want to be rich, but they are fine, and wealth is strong and prosperous". Both large families and ordinary families attach importance to private school education. Not only the aristocratic families recite poems and paint, but also young women like reading poetry books. In this way, the beautiful and knowledgeable Suzhou and Hangzhou woman will not be conceived in the inner room, and no one knows her. On the contrary, it will become temperament because of reading poetry. No wonder they are famous. Perhaps it is precisely because of the inheritance of past lives that the gentle "Lake Mountain Jade is buried here" was left in the ordinary lanes of this life. Thousands of years later, even if there are beautiful women in the north and south of the Yangtze River, the women in Suzhou and Hangzhou are still so charming, just like the West Lake in Hangzhou, the gardens in Suzhou and the only one in China. Walking on Yan 'an Road, a bustling commercial street in Hangzhou, is not very amazing, but I still can't help but look back frequently. Maybe a slim girl, maybe a young woman with a child, or even an aunt with frosty temples. Even if the facial features are not obvious, Hangzhou women of any age have an indescribable elegance and gentleness. Just like when Emperor Qianlong tasted the West Lake Longjing, he felt "bland and tasteless" when he first drank it, and after a while, he felt that the entrance had a sweet taste and praised it as "bland and tasteless, but it was the best". This song of Kunqu Opera and Yue Opera should only be said by many people in the sky. The beauty of Suzhou and Hangzhou women will never be seen at a glance, but they will often hear their voices first and then see their faces. Wu Nong's soft voice is beautiful, and it is even more lingering when singing. The lingering sound will last for three days. Walking in strange streets, you will pass by the provincial Xiaobaihuayue Opera Troupe, the municipal Xiaobaihuayue Opera Troupe and the XX Kunqu Opera Troupe from time to time. They are all courtyards with white walls and black tiles, and the signs in black and white are not conspicuous, but when you push the door in, they are full of colorful flowers, and the songs are mellow and tactfully. It turns out that there are many cultural units and folk troupes in the two provinces and cities, which are simply "small flowers" blooming everywhere. Walking in the street, maybe you and Li are on the stage next to you. In the interview, the reporter learned that in May this year, in order to commemorate the 50th anniversary of "Saving One Play-Fifteen Pass" in Beijing, Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe will perform in Beijing. At that time, we Beijingers can enjoy the Kunqu Opera performance awarded the title of "masterpiece of oral and intangible heritage of mankind" by UNESCO at our doorstep. Zhou Xun, winner of the Golden Horse Award, a girl from an art school, Dong Qing, a popular host of CCTV, Tao Huimin, an actor of Daiyu in the movie Dream of Red Mansions, and Cai Feihe, an actor of Shaoxing Opera in recent years ... Will you be surprised when you hear that they come from the same zhejiang vocational academy of art (formerly Zhejiang Art School)? This college, which has trained countless beautiful women, is now located in Hangzhou Binjiang Higher Education Park with an elegant environment. Because the college concentrates on specialties, specialties and undergraduate courses, it is overwhelming to enter the school gate. According to Li Renlin, president of the middle school attached to the school, the school has a history of more than 50 years, and now it is full of peaches and plums. At present, among the students, "2005 World Chinese American Third Runner-up" and "Golden Partner Cup Sixth CCTV TV Model Third Runner-up" stand out. The reporter learned that in addition to this Zhejiang art school, there is also an art school in Hangzhou, and the two schools have attracted countless talented "super girls" inside and outside the province. Compared with Hangzhou, there are not many modern beauties in Suzhou, but Carina Lau, a Hong Kong film star, is from Suzhou. The reporter saw that the image spokesperson of the silk weaving enterprise "Tang Yi Square" is a girl from Suzhou University, and her big eyes really have some Ling Chia style. Medical analysis of the oval face of Hangzhou beauty In 2004, doctors from the plastic surgery department of Hangzhou Plastic Surgery Hospital specially studied the face of Hangzhou beauty. They come to the conclusion that the face of Hangzhou beauty is a typical oval face. The oval face is regarded as a charming face by orientals. Director Chen Xiaoping, who is in charge of this research, told the reporter that they selected 24 beauties recognized by Hangzhou citizens and the media, aged 18-30, from the miss images and models of Hangzhou West Lake. It is found that the face of Hangzhou beauty is a typical oval face from the front, that is, the face is divided into three parts: hairline to forehead, eyebrows to lower nose, and lower nose to chin. The upper part is slightly 8% wider than the lower part, and the middle part is 12% wider than the upper part. Experts comment on the land of plenty, Mr. Shen Shi, the former curator of Suzhou Cultural Center and a cultural scholar, believes that the reputation of "Suzhou and Hangzhou have been beautiful since ancient times" is beyond doubt. There are several important reasons: first, the climate is mild, humid and rainy, and women's skin is delicate and fair; Second, rich products, the two places have been the land of fish and rice since ancient times; Third, it is determined by genes, because Jiangnan has developed rapidly and has been an economic and cultural center since ancient times. Businessmen gather and young ladies emerge one after another. Suzhou and Hangzhou PK are drifting away. There are Suzhou and Hangzhou in heaven. Although Suzhou and Hangzhou are equally famous, with the passage of time, the differences between the two cities are gradually increasing. Is facing the pressure of the influx of immigrants. However, Hangzhou, as the economic, cultural and political center of Zhejiang Province, has obvious attraction and is a treasure-house that can attract and retain beautiful women. Suzhou's city scale and development speed are slightly inferior. I heard that reporters came to find beautiful women, and many local people were sour-"there are fewer and fewer beautiful women." Yes, many beautiful women from Suzhou flock to Shanghai and other big cities and walk on the streets of foreign lands. The local people say that Suzhou beauty is Suzhou beauty only in Suzhou, which may be true. Jiangnan women should have walked in the misty rain and merged into the scenery of small bridges and flowing water.
