China's famous pictures of beautiful women, such as the beautiful women in Luoshen and Zanhua Lady, all draw single eyelids. So are all the characters in ancient paintings like this? In fact, the existence of double eyelids can be found in the portraits of the ancients. For example, the portraits of Song Taizong and Gan Long are both double eyelids. The reason for this is that there is a difference between ancient portraits and pictures of ladies.
Portrait painting, in the final analysis, reflects the true face of the characters, so the requirement of portrait painting is truth and the shape of the characters should be drawn. This is unnecessary for a picture of a beautiful woman, because Chinese painting pays attention to freehand brushwork, so painters usually paint according to their own inner thoughts, and in order to make the painting famous, they will paint with the aesthetics of the public. It can be said that in people's minds at that time, beauty should be a single eyelid. Therefore, the oldest figure painting in China, a history of women, was basically a single eyelid and a slender phoenix eye before the Qing Dynasty. ?
It can be seen that the ancient aesthetics in history took the slender phoenix eye with a single eyelid as a symbol of beauty. Therefore, personally, if a woman with a single eyelid travels through ancient times, she will definitely be more popular.
