Since ancient times, beauties have emerged from the south of the Yangtze River. This should be a public opinion. And this Jiangnan, based on modern people's understanding, even Hunan people don't think it has anything to do with them.
But this "since ancient times" can be traced back to the pre-Qin and Han dynasties. The south bank of the Yangtze River and the south of Dongting Lake is called Jiangnan, which is the proper location of Hunan. Therefore, Jiangnan, a name rich in literary color and artistic imagination, actually made its debut in Hunan.
The famous beauties of Hunan in ancient times include Mrs. Xin Zhui, who has a thousand-year-old appearance, Mrs. Xiang who values love and righteousness and is extremely capable, Ehuang , female heroes, and "Tongquechun locks Erqiao deeply" for big Joe, for little Joe, and so on.
Some people will definitely say, how come the four most famous beauties, Diao Chan, Zhaojun , Xi Shi, Yang Yuhuan , are not related to Hunan?
Don't worry. What I mean is that there are many beauties in Hunan, and the overall standard is relatively high. If it can be regarded as inevitable, then famous beauties must have the endorsement of big figures and historical events, and it is achieved by accident. All four beauties are like this.
As far as folk aesthetic consciousness is concerned, the selection of the origin of beauties on the Internet is more representative. The result actually has nothing to do with the location of the four beauties.
The places with the most beautiful women selected on the Internet are Chengdu first, Chongqing second, and Changsha third. There are definitely many people who object to this list of
, but it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t stop me from sorting out the commonalities of these three places.
What they all have in common is good skin, white and rosy skin, and delicate skin texture, which is very in line with the Chinese aesthetic standards: one white skin covers all ugliness.
After this most basic foundation task is completed, as long as the facial features reach the passing line, the first impression score can reach 70~80 points.
If you look at some people with more delicate facial features, you will naturally lament that there are so many beauties and two eyes are not enough. This is probably the origin of Beauty Nest.
So, how can we achieve good skin? Two major factors: first, it must be moisturized and a certain amount of moisture must be maintained at all times; second, the light must be weak to minimize the effects of photoaging.
Where is the place that satisfies these two conditions at the same time? It's definitely not the seaside, nor is it the desert and Gobi plateau, nor is it the vast plains that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Let’s take a look at the two remarkable climate characteristics of the Chengdu Basin: first, it is cloudy and foggy, with short sunshine hours; second, the air is humid. As for Chongqing, is both a "mountain city" and a "fog city", as well as the lingering feeling of "Bashan Night Rain". Obviously, the two conditions of moisture + weak light are met.
Just right, Hunan is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side, forming a U-shaped nest. The water vapor is not easy to escape, and it is a hilly area. There are many large and small Hengshan , Langshan , Lingshan, etc. in the middle. Mountains and many basins of different sizes are formed everywhere.
is not as large as the Chengdu Basin, nor does it meet the conditions as well as Chongqing, but it still basically meets the characteristics of humidity + low light, so it is also convincing to be ranked third.
(This is a group of middle school students in the 1980s. On their way home from school, they left such a photo without any modification in their daily attire. Why do I feel that the more I look at this randomly generated sample of Hunan girls, the more... Does it look good? )
My friend Shi Shuo once used the name of Wang Shuo's novel on BBS to summarize the characteristics of beauties from all over Hunan. He improvised it and forgot about it. In a flash, more than ten years have passed.
Interestingly, one of his friends recently saw a very interesting book on a street stall. As soon as he opened it, he saw his article about beautiful women, so he bought it and gave it to Shi Luozhu.
We joke that piracy is not all bad, otherwise you will definitely not remember this article of yours.
It is precisely because of this article that I decided to use geographical determinism to summarize the characteristics of Hunan beauties.
I think that people from every province can write articles about beauties from their own provinces, each with their own story and their own beauty. It’s great as a cool and delicious appetizer in summer.
(These are the girls in the same dormitory of Nanhua University in 2021. They all passed the postgraduate entrance examination. They really have equal emphasis on talent and beauty!)
His original text is excerpted here. With my consent, some changes have been made.
Changsha girl: "Animals are ferocious"
Changsha girl is the most difficult character to mess with among Hunan girls. They are cool and arrogant, smart and straightforward. It's crazy when playing, cool when it's quiet, and it's fierce when it's fierce. The coquettishness and brutality in Changsha dialect are used appropriately by them, just like their clear-cut characters of love and hate.
Li Guyi once summed up the personality of Hunan people: they can be domineering and brutal, they can endure hardships, and they can be patient and annoying. The courage she showed in the Oriental Song and Dance Ensemble incident fully reflects the character of the Changsha girl.
Representative figures: Li Guyi, Zhang Ye, Zuo Xiaoqing, Zhou Bichang, Liu Xuan.
Changde girl: "Half Flame and Half Seawater"
Changde girl is not the most beautiful among Hunan girls, but she is undoubtedly the cutest. Changde girls speak Changde dialect as softly as Wu Nong's soft words. Even if they scold you, they will still feel very pleasant to the ear. As Mr. Jin Yong said: Eighty percent of appearance, plus twelve percent of gentleness, is no less than a beauty with extraordinary talent!
Changde girls have their own principles and opinions. As long as her principles are not violated, she will always be as quiet as the sea. Once her principles are violated, she will immediately fight back like a blazing fire and protect herself.
representative figures: Ding Ling, Qu Ying, Chen Sisi.
Hengyang girls: "Looks Beautiful"
Hengyang is also known as Yancheng . It is said that the wild geese flew to the warm Hengyang when they returned south and couldn't leave. Some people also say that the wild geese are because of the Hengyang girls who "sink fish and fall wild geese". Beautiful and staying. Among Hunan girls, girls from Hengyang should be considered to have the best figures. They walk in the ancient city with a light posture, like an elegant stroke of color. They look beautiful.
Representatives: Qiong Yao, Liu Yan, Jiang Hongzhi (YOYO, Youyou).
The characters in the picture above are Liu Yan and Yoyo (Yoyo, host of Hunan TV station)
Xiangxi girls: "The Idiot"
"Sentimental Hunan girls", a big reason is because of Xiangxi girls, because Mr. Shen Congwen in "Border Town" That Cuicui . "You sing passionate songs under the sun, gentle songs under the moon, and sing like a cuckoo until your throat vomits blood and is rotten." What kind of infatuation is this? The woman sitting on the edge of the cliff, looking slightly sad, naturally adds a yearning and simple poetry to the landscape of Xiangxi.
Representative figures: Song Zuying, Aduo, Shen Mengchen.
The above excerpt has a sense of age because it has been more than ten years, but it still reads accurately, vividly, perceptually and interestingly, and it is full of romance with its extensive quotations.
Inspired by him, I continued to follow his approach and still used the names of Wang Shuo's novels to sort out beauties from other areas of Hunan.
Yongzhou girls: "Out of the Sea"
Yongzhou was called "Lingling" in ancient times, but many people may not know that "Xiaoxiang" is also its stage name because Xiaoshui and Xiangjiang River converged in Yongzhou.
At this point, we can proudly say that Jiangnan and Xiaoxiang, these two words with both literary and aesthetic qualities, originated in Hunan.
In "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night", which is a single chapter that summarizes the entire Tang Dynasty, Zhang Ruoxu, a poet in Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, after extreme elaboration and imagination, finally ends with "The setting moon hides the sea fog, and the Jieshi Xiaoxiang "Infinite Road" ends, it seems that Xiaoxiang has become the poet's distant ideal home.
Such artistic infiltration is impossible without beautiful women.
As an international supermodel, Liu Wen is as beautiful as a clear spring in the mountains. It is natural, clean and clear. It runs all the way from the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River. After a long period of hard work and dormancy, it finally merges into the ocean, surfaces, and goes to international stage.
Representatives: Liu Wen, Wu Yujuan.
Yiyang girls: "Playing is the heartbeat"
Yiyang, also known as "Yincheng", "Lido", and "the hometown of badminton". The Peach Blossom River in the famous song "Peach Blossom River is a Beauty's Nest" belongs to Yiyang and belongs to the beauty's nest in the beauty's nest.
Yiyang girl is warm and bright, speaks with a crisp and gentle voice, and has a gentle and strong personality. For example, in "Liu Rushi", her plain clothes and every smile show the charming charm of Liu Rushi, "the first of the eight beauties of Qinhuai"; like the light leaps and fierce fights on the badminton court.
They themselves are always charming and calm, and the onlookers are already excited and their hearts beat faster.
Representative figures: Wan Qian , Gong Zhichao .
Yueyang girl: "The Story of Seagulls"
Yueyang, in the north of Hunan. Hunan is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side. The water side is Yueyang. High in the south and low in the north, the Xiangjiang River goes north, and , three Hunan and four rivers eventually gather here, flowing from Dongting Lake into the Yangtze River, completing the internal circulation of Hunan and entering the great circulation of the country and even the world, rushing all the way towards the broader sea.
Yueyang girls have experienced the wind and waves of the 800-mile Dongting since they were young. They have seen finless porpoises jumping in the Yangtze River with white light. They have heard the legend of Xiang Fei dripping with tears on the mottled bamboo and dying for her love on Junshan Mountain. She climbed the Yueyang Tower and experienced it firsthand. The spiritual influence of joy.
Yueyang girls, with their open-mindedness and outstanding temperament, have attracted countless heroes, such as the sisters Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao during the Three Kingdoms period. They were like beautiful seagulls traveling between Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River.
Representative figures: Bai Yang, Yang Mo sisters, Xie Lisi, Li Xiang, Gan Ping.
Girls from Xiangtan and Zhuzhou: "Stewardess"
Xiangtan and Zhuzhou are like a pair of enemies that have been together for thousands of years. From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Republic of China, they have been together for more than a thousand years. Still messy.
Until 1951, Zhuzhou was once again separated from the jurisdiction of Xiangtan and began a period of rapid industrialization development. It was said that it should not be involved with Xiangtan anymore, but the integration of Changzhou, Zhuzhou and Tan began again. It's fate.
So, Xiangtan and Zhuzhou are basically the same family.
Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty Changsha Prefecture Chaling Man Li Dongyang wrote a poem: Changsha youth has no choice but to spring, his green shirt and white face are not dusty. I advise you not to live in Xiangtan. Jiang Yan will kill the Huan people with mud in their mouths. The translation is: Changsha Yaozi is in the mood of spring and goes out to play. Never go to Xiangtan. Remember that there are still guests in the house, and Huansha and weaving are busy every day.
It can be seen that the girls in Xiangtan and Zhuzhou are very attractive. Just like the names of the two people below, they are like the red clouds in the morning, with warmth in the coldness, and they gradually turn into red and beautiful beauties.
Representative figures: Yan Danchen , Wang Lida .
Single one: Tao Siyong , during the Republic of China, she was known as the most talented woman south of the Yangtze River. is a typical Bai Fumei, is said to be the teacher's first love, she has appeared in "The Boy Who Came to Classmate" and "The Founding Ceremony".
Chenzhou girl: "Liu Huifang"
Chenzhou City is located in the southeast of Hunan Province, in the area where the Nanling Mountains and Luoxiao Mountains intersect, and the Yangtze River water system and Pearl River water system are separated. "Looking at the beauty of Hengyue in the north and the rush of the Five Ridges in the south", it has been the choke point from the Central Plains to the coast of South China since ancient times.
is not only a battleground for military strategists, but also a place of outstanding humanities. The girls coming out of here have a high degree of genetic optimization and must be good-looking. She is fair-skinned, beautiful and has long legs. She is enthusiastic, straightforward and brave, but also hard-working, simple and friendly. She is really beautiful on the outside and smart on the inside.
Representative figures: Liu Yizhen, Yi Siling.
Girls from Huaihua , Shaoyang , Loudi : "Hold it to me"
Xiangzhong is beautiful and beautiful, and there are many heroes in the world. Shaoyang Loudi is the geometric center of Hunan, and Huaihua is the gateway to Guizhou and Yunnan and the throat of Chu. The reason why they are put together is that in modern times, the number of outstanding women who have lived in this land is too bright. Eyes, they are all related to each other, including two pairs of mother and daughter, a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, a pair of aunts and nephews, and three best friends.
They come from famous families or wealthy businessmen. They are talented and courageous. They are knowledgeable in arts and sciences and capable of literature and martial arts. They save the country and the nation and are strong-willed. They encourage and support each other. They are also very beautiful.
In the long list below, it is difficult to suppress my admiration and admiration for them every time I write a word. Every name is a piece of modern history, and every person is worthy of being remembered by future generations.
Representative figures: Ge Jianhao , Qiu Jin, Tang Qunying, Xiang Jingyu, Cai Chang, Wang Canzhi, Zeng Xianzhi, Zeng Baosun.
After sorting it out, there are still many that have not been listed one by one. Let me make a list of the ones I know. Li Meng, Li Qian, Tao Xinran, Xiong Jiaxingzi, Li Sheng, Shen Yue, Yao Qianyu, Zhao Liang, Xie Ming, Su Qing, Yuan Weiya, Su Qing, Yi Mianying, Tao Yuyu, Liao Qianqian , Xiao Qunying, etc.
Because I am not that familiar with the new generation of little flowers, I must have missed it. You can add it in the comment area. Given time, this list will definitely become popular in the future.
Finally, regarding the sentimental saying of Hunan women, two more heavyweights come to the finale.
The first name is an individual: Yang Kaihui.
The second name is the group: Eight thousand Hunan women went to Tianshan.
My superficial words can no longer express the amazing power that these weak women burst out at critical moments. I can only recall it from time to time and remember it forever.
Hunan women are both cheerful and persistent, gentle and strong, passionate and firm, beautiful and able to handle tasks.
On the hot land of Hunan and Hunan, among the surging rivers of Hunan and Hunan, among the eternal mountain tops, and in front of the academy that has traveled through thousands of years, Hunan girls are succeeding one generation after another. They are like bamboo shoots springing up from the ground and competing for the top of the sky, and they are like stars in the sky with pretty eyes that treat the world tenderly with affection.
Hunan is full of beauties. There are thousands of peach blossoms, but they are not as numerous as the beauties.
