What does the girl mean by "handsome boy"

Gigolo is a special type that prevailed in18th century. In Italian, it's called cicisbeo, which means the man whose husband tacitly accompanies his wife on his behalf. Actually, they are semi-public lovers.

The origin of the word "small white face" probably comes from the word that describes a man's beauty: "His face is like a crown jade". It means that a man's face is as white as jade and as smooth as jade, and he is called "handsome boy" or "handsome man" in modern popular language. Since ancient times, it has been said that there are many stories about beautiful women and many tragic endings. In fact, beautiful men have many deeds, and their lives are not necessarily very good. Explain from the side that "everyone has the heart of beauty", which is applicable to both men and women.

Let's talk about the locals first, especially the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties. Scholar-officials and nobles, romantic celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties, took medicine, drank wine, applied powder and studied beauty. They often evaluate each other, compete with each other and advocate morbid charm, which is very popular in today's "beauty pageant". There are vivid records in Shi Shuo Xin Yu: For example, in Watching and Killing Wei Jun, Wei Jie, a native of the Western Jin Dynasty, was born "as beautiful as flowers, as tender as pink" and often drove an Aries car to play in the streets of Luoyang. Seen from a distance, it looks very much like a statue carved with white jade, and people call it "Jade Man". One year he went to the summer city to play, only to be watched by countless gorgeous women, which made him unable to have a good rest for several days. This beautiful boy with weak constitution finally got sick and then died. Poor man, I was watched to death! (also very exaggerated)

There is also a typical representative of a handsome man-Pan An, from the Jin Dynasty. I heard that he is "good-looking and good-looking." Many young girls give him a "green eye" when they see him, and some even follow Pan An. Pan Anjun is often scared to go to the streets. Some girls who fall in love with spring are hard to get close to him, so they throw apples at him. Thus, there is the folklore of "Pan An throwing fruit". Fortunately, the fruit is not durian, otherwise it will be in big trouble!

In Li Yu's words, there is a phrase "Shen Yao killed while on the sidelines", which refers to Shen Yue. Later, Xia Wanchun, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, also wrote a poem, "The wine glass always thinks of pottery, and the belt is around Shen Lang." This slender waist man refers to Shen Yue. Shen Yue was born in the Liang Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and was a literary leader in the Qi and Liang Dynasties. And Xie Tiao, etc. Advocating "eternal style" and emphasizing metrical style have contributed to the development of poetry from ancient style to modern style. If nothing else, it is enough to have a "thin waist". He is a fragile and handsome man. Look at the faces in China's plays. In addition to the white-faced scholar, another white-faced Cao Cao belongs to a traitor. Another actor, Tang Guoqiang, was judged as a "pretty boy" when he was young, and remained silent for a long time until Zhuge Liang, who starred in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the recent Yongzheng Dynasty.

There is also a foreign white face. In ancient Greece, there was a beautiful boy, Narcissus. (It is estimated that he looks like a beautiful teenager in the comic book "saint seiya the Saint". Many girls are infatuated with him, but Naxi Sass, who is aloof, has never been tempted. A girl prayed to the gods because of love and hate, and the goddess Nemesis responded-let him fall in love with himself! One day, when Narcissus came to the clear lake and bent down to drink water, he saw his beautiful reflection and fell in love with himself at once. From then on, I came to the lake every day to see myself, and finally died of haggard. His soul became a flower on the lake. In memory of him, the girls named this beautiful flower Narcissus. Later, people said that "you are a narcissus" was actually "you are so narcissistic."

It seems that people don't like handsome men with white faces with feminine beauty very much. On the contrary, his face is engraved with deep wrinkles and black ... In short, people who have experienced vicissitudes are highly respected, such as Gao Cangjian and Stallone. There are aesthetic differences here. Women are beautiful in white and tender, and men are beautiful in white and tender, but people seem to disapprove of publicizing this beauty, or have different attitudes. This also reflects the inequality between men and women. For example, female beauty is mostly for viewing, and the stories of four beautiful women have been sung among the people for a long time. But after the story is finished, most of them pity them, and even draw the argument that women are a curse or a curse. They are rare in the world, but they have become political tools, exploited and plundered, but they avoid talking about the initiators of their tragedies.

For example, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, used beauty as bait to save the country. What he said is very nice, but it's actually mean. After the restoration, he shed crocodile tears over Wu Zixu and lamented the prince Fu Cha, calling him a femme fatale. When he pushed it into the water, the beauty died. For example, although Tang Huangming and Bai Juyi were taboo in Song of Eternal Sorrow, how could he hide the scandal that Li Longji took his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan as his concubine? The problem of being honored as a noble princess has spread all over the street, including litchi, her cousin Yang and An Lushan. Ma Sanjun died in a rage. At this time, the Tang Emperor could only show compassion for others or (pretend to be pitiful) sacrifice Yang timidly. There are also emperors who exchange "intimacy" for "peace", which only shows that men are always henpecked, and in the name of saving the country and people, they push beautiful women, such as Zhaojun, to other countries. It seems that they have never heard of kissing with beautiful men. Although The Story Of Diu Sim is only a legend, we can also see the fierce political struggle. Here, it is as beautiful as jade, fragile and fragile.

Both men and women are creatures of heaven and earth, living alone in the shade and living in the sun for a long time. I think true equality should be mutual respect and complementary advantages in personality. Beautiful women and handsome men are not decorations, nor are they just stories. They are also living people. If they suffer a lot because of their beautiful appearance, it will be sad.
