According to the traditional aesthetic concept of China people, beauty should be white, thin, tall, pure in temperament and exquisite in facial features. On the other hand, Americans' aesthetic concepts can be much more flexible. What they care about is not people's appearance, but people's personality: cheerful, healthy, confident and energetic, which is the "beauty" in the eyes of Americans. For example, Angelina Jolie's facial features don't meet the traditional standards of beauty, but she is very aggressive and has a great personality. Americans worship such figures. I think the idea of "one white covers all the ugliness" advocated by China people has any remnants of feudal thought? Women who live in boudoir naturally have fair skin, but whiteness does not necessarily reflect people's health, and "bloodless face" is even a signal of illness. If you choose a spouse according to this standard, it does not meet the animal needs of human beings-the highest purpose of life is to spread your own DNA, and the children born naturally with healthy spouses are also healthy. Skin health is enough to reflect a person's health, and no matter how fair the skin is, it can't explain a person's inner nature. Some rich people in China regard "fair skin" as the first condition for getting married, which turns such a serious matter of choosing a lifelong partner into a farce. Interestingly, although some Americans discriminate against people born with dark skin, dark skin symbolizes health and beauty for Americans. Not only do Americans never have the habit of holding umbrellas, but they also try their best to find time to tan their skin at the seaside, and even use ultraviolet ray warehouses and brown skin dyeing sprays. Naturally, we in China find it incredible. American women have large breasts. Most Americans think that a well-proportioned figure is the most beautiful, but there are still many vain women who are dissatisfied with their natural bust size and ask plastic surgeons for help. Unfortunately, plastic surgery is too full and has disadvantages. First, it's easy to get backache-can you hold two bowling balls every day without muscle strain? ? Second, the chest is prone to sagging. Americans love buttocks to the point of madness, and even created a special word: bootilicious, to describe the mouth-watering buttocks. China people also have a saying that "the ass is very tolerant", and there is no lack of scientific basis. Americans think that hips should not only be big, but also round, upturned and not flat. The standard of this hip is suitable for both men and women. According to a survey, 70% of women will pay attention to observing the buttocks of strange men. Hip muscle droop is a sign of weakness in old age. The higher a person's sex hormone level, the more his ass becomes warped. Black women's buttocks are the "best" among all kinds of people. Americans don't pay much attention to height. In beauty contests, it is often seen that beautiful women who are only 1.60 meters tall win the championship-beauty should be all-round, and height is only a small part of it. After all, height is not a measure of a person's intelligence level. American law even stipulates that the requirements for height and appearance should not be indicated in the recruitment notice, otherwise it will be regarded as discrimination. However, health-oriented America is also the fattest country in the world. Recently, scientific data show that the North American continent is sinking towards the United States, and Americans laugh at themselves for being too fat. Nowadays, with high oil prices, Americans are still reluctant to give up their big cars. Obesity is one of the decisive factors. I wear plus-size clothes in China, plus-size clothes in the United States and plus-size clothes for American girls, with an average size of nine. The gap is evident. Why are Americans so fat? Food is the cheapest consumer product in the United States, and the higher the calories, the cheaper it is. Potato chips, fried chicken with cola, all kinds of sweets and chemically synthesized refined fruit juice in fast food can all be classified as "junk food". So the poorer people eat fatter and have no time to exercise. Some homeless people are even too fat to walk, just the opposite of China. Obesity brings endless health problems. Dietitians have become one of the hottest industries in America. Americans who believe that drugs can cure everything have invented countless diet pills and devices. A few Americans who failed to lose weight many times had an operation and removed half of their stomachs, so they could only eat less and eat more meals in the future. TV tracking reports that an American woman weighing more than 600 pounds (equivalent to nearly 300 kilograms) was so fat that she was paralyzed in bed and her life was dying. After gastrectomy, she lost more than 200 kilograms in half a year, and she really had to cut meat to survive. From the differences in aesthetic concepts between China and the United States, we can really see the roots of some social phenomenon differences.
