People who can become big stars are generally the perfect representatives of the kind who look very good.
However, good-looking stars also have their own characteristics in appearance, just like spring flowers in various forms. So, do different star looks have any regional characteristics?
Let’s cite a few examples at random. For example, Zhao Wei, she has been a little blessed in recent years and a little fatter. Let’s pick a picture that can still be seen. In 2015, when she took Hong Kong 囧
This is of course refined
. Let’s take a look at a closer life
Can you see it? What are the characteristics of Zhao Wei's face?
Round face, short nose, the most prominent place is the bulging cheeks and big chin. This is the typical lower part of the face with a larger skeleton.
Where is Zhao Wei from? People from Anhui, remember this, we will talk about it below.
OK, let's look at Guan Xiaotong again. Also pick a relatively unretouched photo
Have you noticed that Guan Xiaotong has any features of appearance?
First, she has a long face, which is different from Zhao Wei's round face and big face plate; then Guan Xiaotong's nose is very slender, much longer than Zhao Wei's; the eyebrows are relatively curved, and the distance between the eyebrows and eyes is relatively large.
Guan Xiaotong is a native of Beijing. His ancestors are said to be the Manchu nobleman Guarjia clan .
There is another artist who is closer to Manchu descent in the entertainment industry, Aixinjueluo Qixing, let's take a look at her appearance
Is it similar to Guan Xiaotong?
looks right.
If you don't have any idea about the typical appearance of Manchuria, let's take a look at the portraits of several emperors of the Qing Dynasty. This is Kangxi
This is his good grandson Qianlong
How do you feel now?
Is Guan Xiaotong very similar to them? They all have curved eyebrows, a slender nose, a large distance between the eyebrows and eyes, a long face, and a slightly convex mouth.
This is the typical face of Manchu .
Guan Xiaotong represents the features of the Manchu imperial family. What about Zhao Wei?
Zhao Wei is from Anhui, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang is also from Anhui, let's take a look at the photos of Zhu Yuanzhang and his descendants.
This is a middle-aged portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang originally hidden in the Forbidden City.
Don't believe in the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang with a shoehorn face, it is a folk fabrication. If Zhu Yuanzhang really has such a respectable face, can he be Guo Zixing's son-in-law?
Let's look at the portrait of Zhu Di
This is a restored image, which is a bit too realistic. But it can still be seen that the faces of Zhu Di and his father are from the same mold.
Zhao Wei and Zhu Yuanzhang, this is the typical appearance of Han Chinese in the Central Plains. Traditionally, the so-called rich and noble appearance, national character face and thick cheeks are just this.
Well, let’s talk about the features of the of Zhao Wei and Guan Xiaotong at the beginning.
Why start with them? Because Zhao Wei's typical appearance of the Han people in the Central Plains,Guan Xiaotong is a Manchu, and the Manchu originated in the Northeast, representing the typical appearance of the ethnic minorities in the Northeast. It just so happened that the two of them corresponded to the royal heads of the last two dynasties in our country's history.
From the looks of the two of them, we can see that the looks of this person are very different in different regions of our country and different ethnic groups.
Okay, we talked about the Central Plains and the Northeast. In fact, our country is traditionally divided into six regions: Northeast, North China, Central China, East China, Northwest and Southwest.
Guan Xiaotong represents the Northeast region, and Zhao Wei represents the Central China region.
Of course, now that our country has undergone thousands of years of national integration, it has long since been me in you and you in me. For example, Guan Xiaotong and Manchu were originally from the Northeast, but then they basically settled in Beijing in North China. On the contrary, most people in the Northeast are not Manchu-looking anymore. This is the result of national integration.
So to figure out the characteristics of our country’s appearance, we have to start from the beginning.
The origin of our country’s civilization starts from the legendary Huangdi period, and then to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, basically different ethnic groups took shape during this period. During this period, China can be divided into several different regions.
Let’s look at this picture
Picture from Ansenhao
In early China, from north to south, different ethnic groups can be divided into North: Northeast fishing and hunting people, Mobei nomadic people : East Yi nationality, middle Huaxia nationality, ancient Qiang nationality in the west (note that it is ancient Qiang people, not modern Qiang nationality); South: Baiyue nationality and Sanmiao nationality.
In the history of China, the origin of the Huaxia nationality originated in the Gansu River Valley, and then all the way into Henan. This was the period of the Yellow Emperor, expelling the San Miao from the south, and later establishing the Xia Dynasty, which is the ancestor of the Han people.
Then the civilization from Dongyi defeated the Xia civilization and established the Shang Dynasty; then the Western Zhou people defeated the Shang Dynasty and established the Western Zhou Dynasty.
This is the history of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. The earliest Han and Dongyi people achieved the first national integration. Later, after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties ruled the world, and this piece was the basic plate of the Han nationality.
So the appearance of the Han people actually had three types at the earliest, namely the ancient Qiang Han, the Dongyi Han, and the Central Plains Han after the ancient Qiang and Dongyi merged.
The ancient Qiang and Han people are the origin of our Han ancestors. What did the ancient Qiang people look like?
Ding Zhen, who became popular last year, is the descendant of the ancient Qiang people. Of course, his blood is not pure. Ding Zhen actually represents the appearance characteristics of the modern Qiang and Tibetan people, and of course the one with the highest appearance.
Another representative of the ancient Qiang people, the soldier figurine of the Qin Shihuang terracotta warriors and horses that everyone has said more,

Chen Daoming's looks
These are all more in line with the appearance of the ancient Qiang people.
If you mix the characteristics of Ding Zhen, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Daoming, Danfeng eyes, compact features, small eyes, nose, and mouth, neither look like the long face of Guan Xiaotong from the Northeast, nor the Han Chinese like Zhao Wei. The cheeks are thick and the face has sharp edges and corners. This is basically the appearance of our Han ancestors. Generally speaking, it is more attractive.
Liu Yifei is a celebrity representative who fits the characteristics of the ancient Qiang people.
In fact, what we call traditional Chinese beauties,They are all features of this kind, with a small face, small face, compact facial features, and strong three-dimensionality, which is probably what it looks like.
After talking about the ancient Qiang and Han people, let's talk about the Dongyi people.
Of course, like the ancient Qiang and Han people, there are basically no pure Dongyi people now. Nowadays, some indigenous people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang retain some characteristics of Dongyi people.
The characteristics of Dongyi people, let's talk about Lu Xun first, and see what typical characteristics he has?
The most typical one is a square face, with slender eyes and slightly higher cheekbones. The facial features are as compact as the ancient Qiang people, and the face is more three-dimensional.
Lu Xun is from Zhejiang, and he is also from Zhejiang Tang Wei. Let’s take a look at
. It is almost this facial feature, square face, slender eyes, slightly higher cheekbones, compact features and three-dimensional sense.
Well, the facial features of Dongyi people and ancient Qiang people are similar. The face is small, the eyes are relatively small, the facial features are compact, and there is a three-dimensional effect. In general, the Huaxia people after the mixture of Dongyi people and ancient Qiang and Han people It is basically this characteristic, which is the most typical characteristic of ancient Han people.
Well, if you see this, some viewers will have questions. The Central Plains Han, Zhao Wei, and Zhu Yuanzhang that we talked about earlier, aren’t they big faces and thick cheeks? How is it different from the ancient Han people?
This is because next we are going to talk about the northern nomads. From the earliest Huns in Mobei to the Genghis Khan Mongolians, what are the characteristics of the faces of these nomads?
Let's first look at the portrait of Genghis Khan.
Did you see it? The biggest feature is the big face, slender eyes, flat facial features, and basically no three-dimensional effect. Viewed from the side, except for the nose, almost the entire face is flat.
Genghis Khan, Mongolian ,This is the typical appearance of the offspring of the nomadic people in Mobei. Let’s take the case of a modern star, Guo Degang.
at a glance Mongolia people, big face, slender eyes, flat features, right?
The earliest appearances of our Han people were the ancient Qiang people and Dongyi people mentioned above, but since the Five Wushuanghua, the big face plate from Mobei began to mix with the ancient Han people; at the same time, the fishing and hunting people from the northeast , Also began to enter the Central Plains, from the early Xianbei to the later Khitan and Jin people, they all once entered the Central Plains.
On the contrary, the early Han people followed the Eastern Jin Dynasty to go south, so now the most common appearance of the entire North China region to the Shandong region is not the appearance of the early ancient Qiang Han people. Everyone pay attention to it, either the Mongolian pie face, or the northeastern's long face.
Then came to Mongolia to unify the Central Plains. This lineage also moved south to the Central Plains. With the long-term national integration, the Hans in Central Plains became like Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, the appearance of the most common Han people in China today is actually the result of the integration of the North and South races.
Okay, above we have basically sketched the national evolution of the Central Plains, North China, and Northeast China.
Next we are going to talk about the southern region.
Historically, the Sanmiao and Baiyue ethnic groups were driven far into the southern mountains during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. After crossing the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the south, the scope of activities of San Miao and Baiyue was further compressed. So they basically lived in the mountains of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangdong.
Their typical look representative, Ma Jiajue.
The main features are relatively high brow bones, prominent cheekbones, short and large nose, and thick lips.
Of course, Ma Jiajue's appearance is indeed stunned. If we want to find a star to represent, Wei Wei from Guangxi is more suitable.
Let’s look at Wei Wei’s appearance,The brow bones are relatively high, the nose is relatively large, and the lips are relatively thick.
In short, the ethnic minorities in Guangdong and Guangxi all the way to Hainan , if you pay attention, you will feel that they look more like people in Southeast Asia. Because in history, Sanmiao and Baiyue were chased by the ancestors of the Han nationality all over Southeast Asia.
Well, the above is the general situation of the origin, integration and evolution of the various races of our Chinese nation.
To summarize briefly, it can be said that in different regions of our country, there are the first Mobei nomadic people's pie face, the northeast fishing and hunting people's long face, the ancient Qiang and Dongyi people's mixed Han people's compact facial features, and the southern three Miao Baiyue faces. .
are probably these four.
Then in the evolution of history, different ethnic groups attacked each other and competed for territory, which brought about the integration of different ethnic groups. Because of this ethnic integration, new facial features have been mixed.
Take the Han people as an example. They were the ancient Qiang people. They occupied Guanzhong, Central Plains, Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time from Xia, Shang and Zhou to Qin and Han dynasties.
Later in the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, a large number of large pie faces from Mobei and long faces from the northeast began to merge with the ancient Qiang and Han people, and a new face shape appeared. This ethnic integration reached its peak until the Liao, Jin and Yuan periods, especially Zhu Yuanzhang. This thick cheek face is the typical face shape after the fusion of north and south.
Therefore, Han people have different types of faces such as compact face, pie face, long face, and thick cheek face.
In this process, the ethnic minorities in Mobei and Northeast have basically integrated into the Han nationality completely. Although we still distinguish between Mongolian and Manchus, their appearance is basically the same as that of the Han people in North China.
In contrast, the degree of integration between the Sanmiao Baiyue and the Han in the south is not as intense as in the north. Therefore, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangdong still retain a large number of ethnic minorities, which can be seen at a glance.
Okay, so let's just introduce the characteristics and evolution of looks in different regions of our country. Of course, this can only be a rough idea. In addition, the knowledge I have acquired is also insufficient. There must be mistakes and omissions. I hope you can give me some pointers in the comment area.
