People's preference for single eyelid and metamorphosis: From the figure painting "The True Picture of a Woman" by Terry in Qin Dynasty and Gu Kaizhi in Eastern Jin Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, even before the Anti-Japanese War, people's preference for single eyelid and metamorphosis has never changed. The monotony of the single eyelid in the picture of a lady may be based on the realism in the Jin and Tang Dynasties. Looking up, you can see that both men and women have single eyelids. Naturally, it is impossible for all painters to have double eyelids, just as western painters do not paint westerners with single eyelids. But after the Song Dynasty, painting a beauty as a single eyelid became a procedure. The formation of the program is either due to Chen and Sean, or due to the long-term aesthetic restriction with the north as the cultural center.
In a word, before China people's aesthetics were surpassed by western aesthetics, China people had their own standards for the identification of beauty. This standard of China people was completely destroyed before and after the Anti-Japanese War. In the "Moon Card Painting" exhibited in the "Centennial Print Poster Exhibition", we can roughly see the process of the contrast and change between Chinese and Western forces.
