[quote=RITA,224235]King Chuling (6th century BC) likes to see wasp-waisted people, so from his liegemen to the ordinary people, all eat one meal per day and starve themselves nearly to death to achieve the wasp-waist, every morning before the ministers meet him, they take a deep breath and at the same time fasten the belt, standing up slowly by the support of the wall .... Years later, all the Chu people become sallow and emaciated...The following, I would focus on the standards of beautiful women in history:Talking about standards of beautiful women, it seems to me that it's never gone far from the three important sizes. In Chinese history, people were somehow indifferent about the size of women's bosom ...But the size of hip really mattered, in ancient time (even now), plumpy-hip women were deemed to be capable of giving birth to more children, that means much in an agriculture society of low productivity. So, it became one of the most important standards of beauty. Chinese people happened to have the same view with westerners, I think:)Besides the sizes of body, feature was crucial. Before Han Dynasty, people simply attached importance towards women's countenance, later on to Wei and Jin, people started to distract a little bit of their attention to the accessories. Tang Dynasty was very open, but it is interesting that the standards of beautiful were very much close to the Bodhisattva (Kwan-yin), they should be plump and open in dress. It sounds like the best time for women to be born in:) From then on, almost all the standards of beautiful women were left for suffering...[/quote]
