Why do oriental beauties in the eyes of foreigners get criticized for their “looks” in China?

Normally, if all the views of Chinese and foreigners must be consistent, will we still be proud of our great China?

First of all, let’s talk about appearance. Chinese and foreigners, especially Europeans, Americans and Africans, have great differences in appearance due to large regional differences. In people's subconscious, there is always a psychology of self-appreciation. Because of this psychology, in the eyes of many people, they are excellent, and of course the same is true for their appearance. People in a place tend to appreciate the people or things in their own place, whether it is culture or customs. Just like many people think that their dialect is the dialect closest to Mandarin, but this is not the case. Therefore there will be local differences in aesthetics.

Secondly, the people and things you come into contact with around you have a great impact on your overall understanding, judgment and appreciation of things. China is a country with a long history and culture of five thousand years. Since ancient times, there have been countless beauties in the past dynasties. Oriental beauty has always attracted much attention. The traditional thinking of the Chinese people is deeply rooted. In the eyes of Chinese people, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and harmonious appearance are the most beautiful. Up to now, the so-called "awl face" has been all the rage. Nowadays, a face shape similar to an oval is also popular, which is called "oval face". Aesthetics has been developing, but it is regional. In many places, people can only see foreigners on TV screens, and it is not easy to accept the appearance of foreigners all of a sudden. Chinese people face Chinese people every day, and over time, they form an aesthetic Inertia, I appreciate my own people very much, but find it difficult to appreciate foreigners. Therefore, there will be differences in aesthetics. Beauty in the eyes of foreigners may not necessarily be beautiful in the eyes of Chinese people.

In the final analysis, the most important thing is cultural differences. There are differences between China and foreign countries in terms of culture, thought, etc., so the difference in vision is understandable. It is understandable that in the eyes of foreigners, "Oriental beauties come once in ten thousand years" are ordinary in Chinese eyes.

There is a story about an overseas Chinese wedding where a foreigner praised the Chinese bride for her beauty, and the Chinese bride was so humble that she said, "Where is that?" The foreigner felt worried as soon as he heard this, and wanted to praise the bride. Why do you ask me what is so beautiful about my wife? Then the foreigner had to say, "The bride has big eyes and a round face..." Everyone laughed. The reason why such jokes appear is a manifestation of the cultural differences between China and foreign countries.

Jokes like this don’t just happen to foreigners, there is also a joke about look?out. Look?out means to be careful, but according to Chinese habits, the translation is to look outside. A Chinese man was in an American restaurant. He heard someone say "look? out" and he quickly looked outside. As a result, a ladle of water came over and poured it on his head.

After all, geographical differences are huge, and the resulting cultural differences are of course huge, and the differences in aesthetics are self-evident. Chinese people admire beauties, such as Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, etc., but foreigners may not necessarily think that they are the most beautiful. And foreign beauties, especially those from Europe, America and Africa, may be difficult for Chinese people to accept.
