Catfish joke

There is a saying that people in China look like cows, horses, donkeys and sheep in the north, and fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in the south. When I saw this sentence, I recalled a circle of friends from all corners of the country. Needless to say, it seems to have happened.

I think the original intention of this sentence is relative. Compared with southerners, northerners are tall and big, especially the big men in Northeast China and Shandong, which look a few sizes bigger. A friend from Northeast China came back from school in Sichuan and said that every time he went to physical education class, he felt like an alpaca in a flock. Compared with northerners, southerners are very delicate. I remember when I was in college, there was a Hainanese in our class, standing among a group of northerners like a primary school student.

It is obvious that creatures at high latitudes are bigger than those at low latitudes. Not only people, but also tigers, elephants and bears. Take the tiger as an example. Siberian tiger is bigger than South China tiger, and South China tiger is bigger than Sumatra tiger in Indonesia. The species in the south always seem to be relatively small (except cockroaches). This is the result of long-term evolution, and the temperature in high latitudes is low. In order to reduce heat loss, northerners generally have larger skeletons.

Hao Lei in the northeast and Michelle Chen in Taiwan Province stand together, and Hao Lei is obviously several times bigger, which is by no means the result of the previous photo.

This picture shows two people on the same horizontal line. Although the gap seems a little small, Hao Lei is actually a little hunched. This posture shows that he is not particularly tall. Some people say that Joseph Cheng on the far right is also from Taiwan Province. Isn't he very tall? Nothing is absolute. Some people are born different from the people around them, and racial and genetic differences are also crucial, which will be discussed later.

Not only Hao Lei, but also many female stars with big skeletons come from Northeast China and Shandong.

Gong Li is from Shenyang, Liaoning, and Jinan, Shandong. My ancestors may have been to the East.

Fan Bingbing, recognized as a big skeleton, was born in Qingdao. The skeleton is easy to get fat, but it can support the red carpet.

Although Brigitte Lin was born in Taiwan Province, his ancestral home is also Shandong.

In addition to the figure, there are obvious differences in appearance between the north and the south. As the saying goes, "donkey face" and "horse face" are the specialties of the north. The farther north the face is, the bigger the face is, and the features of forehead, cheekbones and nose are more obvious. The following is the average face of the entire East Asian people:

You can't see the regional differences just by looking at the average face of East Asians. The following is the average face of some typical areas in China, which constitutes the East Asian face.

Yellow River basin type (Northeast, North China and Heluo, Fujian)

Yangtze River basin type (Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan)

Pearl River basin type (Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, southern Yunnan)

Types of Manchurian Koreans (Northeast China, Korean Peninsula and Japanese aristocrats)

Types of Servicemen (Bohai Rim Region, Southwest Yi Nationality and Qiang Nationality)

Vietnam Annan type (central Vietnam, part of southern China)

Korean type (Korea, Japan, Northeast China)

Tunguska Sinicization (Korea, Japan, Northeast China)

Qiang Nationality Type (Qinghai-Tibet Plateau)

The above can be said to be a collection of all the faces of our people. Looking at the Han nationality alone, we can really draw a conclusion: the farther north, the longer the face, the bigger the head, the longer the eyes, the smaller the nostrils and the thinner the lips.

Yuqi Zhang and Wang Quanan, a native of Shandong and a native of Shaanxi, are far north.

With such obvious differences, we can basically tell where a person is from by looking at his face. The specific method is as follows:

Divide north and south first.

What makes us look different is not only our facial features, but also the differences in facial bones. What makes people in the north and south different is mainly the skull type, face type, orbit type, nose type and chin type. Needless to say, the face and nose are clear at a glance, and the other three are mainly explained.

The skull is long, wide and high. The skull index (the ratio of length, width and height) determines whether your head is long, flat, square or round.

Generally speaking, people in China are generally of high cranial type.

East Asia belongs to the high skull type, and the distance from the eyes to the top of the head is very long.

People with low cranial type also have it, but it is less.

Tungusic people have lower skulls and shorter distances from their eyes to the top of their heads.

The orbital index determines the height distribution of eyes on the face. Orbital index = orbital height/orbital width, the index below 76 is low orbital type, 76~85 is middle orbital type, and above 85 is high orbital type.

North Asians are mainly of high orbital type, South Asians belong to low orbital type, and East Asians are in between, mostly of high/middle orbital type.

Typical high orbit type, eyes far from chin.

Low eye socket type, eyes closer to chin.

The mandible is usually the most plastic place, which usually determines what the lower half of your face looks like.

Northerners are characterized by long skull, high skull, high and narrow face, middle orbit, narrow nose and orthognathic jaw.

Types of Modern Northern Chinese

To put it bluntly, it means long face, narrow nose, flat chin, many Chinese characters and oval face. According to a survey conducted by Chinese Academy of Sciences, the head width of northern males is above 155mm, while that of southern males is basically less than155 mm.. The proportion of wide eye fissure is 34% in Guangdong, 22.4% in Hubei, and 0/8% in Shandong/KLOC, and the female data is similar.

Eye fissure refers to the fissure formed between the upper and lower eyelids, which is also commonly known as eye suture.

In other words, northerners have wide and long heads and thin and long eyes.

A typical northerner looks like this:

Northeasters like Peisi Chen are:

Zhao Si

Fan Wei

What does a typical Shandong person look like?

Dayige

Bo Huang

Lin Yongjian

Plus a photo of a man in China, we basically have it.

Xiaoping Clay, a typical Henan+Inner Mongolia person.

However, it is not these people who are most like "cows, horses, donkeys and sheep". The northerners who are most like "cows, horses, donkeys and sheep" are actually descendants of Manchu. According to the investigation of the physical characteristics of Manchu in Jilin, Manchu people have narrower faces, smaller eyes, longer noses and closer eyes than Han people.

There are typically dry dragons.

Aisingiorro Nurgazi

Pure Manchu is characterized by oval face, awl face, medium or narrow nose, white skin and standard handsome and beautiful women. There are many stars in the northeast in the entertainment circle now. And it is mainly the type of long face and handsome.

Like Kenny Lin.

Hans Zhang

Jerry

However, the most typical northeast person looks like this netizen:

@ Retro Photographer /Zhihu and Nurhachi's portraits are similar netizens.

Don't believe me, turn on the live broadcast software to see if the Northeast anchors are all like this little brother.

You can't tell who is who when you turn on the live broadcast software.

It is very accurate to say that northerners are like animals.

Look at southerners again. The common characteristics of southerners are: long skull, low face, wide nose, low orbit and prominent jaw.

Standard South China Indigenous Types

That is, flat face, wide nose, low eyes and protruding chin. Especially in Guangdong and Fujian, people have sunken cheeks, prominent cheekbones and sharp chins. A typical southerner looks like this:

Or like this:

Another feature of Cantonese people is that their eyes are close to their eyebrows.

Guangdong group image

From a national perspective, I personally think that people in the whole southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Bashu regions are the most beautiful. For example, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Tang Wei, Faye Yu and Maggie Cheung (originally from Shanghai), the beauties recognized by the entertainment circle, belong to the typical ethnic groups in the Yangtze River basin. The stars in Sichuan are delicate and petite. For example: Tang Yixin, Olivia, Stephy and so on. But the most typical one is Jing M.Guo, whose ancestral home is Zigong, Sichuan.

Fake Shanghainese.

However, it is not these people who can best represent the looks of ordinary southerners. You'll never guess this man. He is:

Yes, that's him! Look down if you don't believe me!

This is the head of a pig skin rock recovered by archaeologists in Guilin, Guangxi. It is a typical face of South China people over 10,000 years ago.

Dare to say that this is not Ma Yun!

However, the above picture is female, and the male ancient South China people look like this.

This is also the typical face of Guangxi people now. A netizen said that when he thought of Guangxi people, all he could think of was Ma Jiajue. Even when I traveled to Guangxi, I felt that all the people on the train were from Ma Jiajue.

This kind of face is a very typical face of Guangdong and Guangxi. In fact, this is a descendant of the ancient Baiyue nationality, characterized by prominent brow bones, sunken eye sockets, flat nose, wide nose wings, large nostrils, thin face and angular facial features.

Wait a minute. Isn't this Prime Minister Turtle?

Doesn't it look like catfish?

Southerners are like fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs, no doubt!

A typical example is Hu Jianren. Hu Jianren also has similar honey juice.

Michael Chen is from Fuzhou, Fujian.

Dānlín is from Longyan, Fujian.

Xiao Gongju, a native of Fujian.

Suddenly I had a bold idea. Is this my friend from China, too?
