How does China's social atmosphere affect women?

Changes of women in China in the past 100 years

The wheel of the times is rolling forward, changing all kinds of scenery vicissitudes along the way. The unique aesthetic standards of each era will leave the most obvious traces on women at that time. From the late Qing Dynasty to the present, there is only a short period of more than 100 years, but the ups and downs during this period have made it impossible for women who used to hide in boudoir to dodge. In the changes they made for beauty, how much history has passed.

Late Qing dynasty

The late Qing Dynasty was a period of metabolism. Foreign goods, missionaries and mass media introduced the western lifestyle into China, and people's aesthetic standards began to change quietly, adding the characteristics of western women on the basis of the original unique charm of oriental women. A book advocating feminist movement, Women's Clock, came into being. The book is not only strongly worded, but also strongly criticizes foot-binding, advocating that women "cut their hair, read books and participate in politics". Stir up layers of wind and waves for a while.

So there was Sai Jinhua, a legendary woman, a complicated woman, a woman who catered to this era. Her legend began when Hong Jun, the top criminal record scholar, returned to Suzhou to mourn. At first, Jun Hong and Sai Jinhua fell for their beauty. Later, they accepted Sai Jinhua as their third aunt. In the devastated late Qing Dynasty, a prostitute at the bottom of society could climb to the top of the list. Besides being lucky, I have to say that this woman has a charm different from ordinary people. Later, in the name of the minister's wife, she accompanied Hong Jun to four countries. In her diplomatic mission, she was influenced by German Emperor William II and Empress Augusta. Interview with Victoria. According to legend, it was at this time that she met the later commander-in-chief of Eight-Nation Alliance, Wadesi. This paved the way for her to urge Wadsey not to hurt ordinary people when the allied forces invaded Beijing later. So her beauty also contains patriotic color. Her second marriage was to Cao, inspector of Shanghai-Nanjing Railway. Her third marriage was with Senator Wei Sihuan, Governor of Civil Affairs of Jiangxi Province.

In her body, it not only embodies the charm of oriental women, but also has the characteristics of western women. Because she combines the beauty of the East and the West, she also has the magic power of reversing all living beings without the beauty of society. She not only captured the top officials of China government, but also won the recognition of the officers who invaded China. I really have to say that it is the power of combined beauty.

Mrs. Champion, Mrs. Minister, the first beauty in the East, the first public relations lady in China who went in and out of the upper class in Europe, and the last socialite with a star-studded foot are all her titles. It is such a woman who spits out the rhetoric that "the country is everyone's country and saving the country is everyone's obligation"; It was she who dominated the stage of the late Qing Dynasty. It was she who showed the beauty of oriental women for the first time on the international political stage; It was she who became the dream of that generation of men.

Republic of China period

By the time of the Republic of China, China entered modern times and entered a new chapter in its development. After the May 4th Movement, women's thoughts were gradually liberated. The introduction of foreign ideas has also made the social atmosphere more enlightened. Women are no longer synonymous with weakness, and a group of women with higher education, new ideas and the courage to realize their self-worth have become the new favorites of the times. Ding Ling, Ling Shuhua, Yang Buwei, Xiao Hong, Bing Xin, Shi Pingmei ... They let us see a beautiful life full of youth and times.

Centennial orchid forest is a very special one in this group. She was born in a bureaucratic intellectual family. When she was a girl, she traveled around the world with her father and studied different majors in two famous universities, which made her very accomplished in architecture and literature. She was the first female architect in China and was praised by Hu Shi as a talented woman in China. It is profound knowledge and good family education that shape her unique temperament; It is the infiltration of eastern and western cultures that has created such a strange girl with beautiful wisdom and persistent pursuit of ideals. Liang Sicheng, Xu Zhimo and Jin were all impressed by her charm. Because she almost satisfied the perfection of women in that era: well-born, well-informed, talented, beautiful and elegant, knowing how to advance and retreat.

At that time, another popular beauty was "the movie queen-Hu Die". Compared with the noble and cold forest, she is more in line with the traditional aesthetics of China people, with a beautiful face, bright eyes and white teeth, and a pair of dimples on her cheeks. She has a traditional and euphemistic bearing, and her flesh and blood are even and sincere, which is the so-called "all happiness, all life" for thousands of years. The beauty of Hu Die lies not only in its appearance, but also in its achievements in movies. Her popularity also reflected the people's concern about movies in China at that time, which was the inevitable result of the blending of Chinese and Western lifestyles at that time.

Anti-Japanese period

During this period, there is a name that should be remembered forever-Deng, a great woman, a woman who silently contributed behind a successful man, a woman who was strong and confident in the turbulent anti-Japanese era and worked hard for the rise and fall of the motherland. She was the heroine of that era, and she was the idol of everyone in that era. Great proletarian revolutionaries, politicians, famous social activists, staunch Marxists, outstanding leaders of the Party and the country, and pioneers of the women's movement in China, vividly interpreted the feminine beauty and masculine beauty of women.

1On August 8th, 925, she married Zhou Enlai and became a lifelong revolutionary partner. From then on, she comforted Zhou Enlai with feminine tenderness and inspired Zhou Enlai with feminine masculinity. At the same time, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation. 1937 after the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Deng started the anti-Japanese national united front work in Wuhan and Chongqing. During this period, she actively United people from all walks of life and women, and made unremitting efforts to persist in the war of resistance, unite and progress, and oppose surrender, division and retrogression, and did a very good job. 1938, she was elected as the director of the China branch of the international anti-aggression movement congress. In the same year, he served as a member of the National Political Council. At previous sessions of the National People's Political Consultative Conference, China politicians such as Dong and others fought resolutely against the Kuomintang die-hards.

Politically, there is nothing wrong with Deng's achievements, but as a woman, she is also successful. She combines the beauty of femininity and masculinity, which proves that in such a turbulent and bloody era, but full of justice and passion, the role of women is enormous, and women are a group with great power and great influence on society! Like Sai Jinhua, she also combines two kinds of beauty. The difference is that the former combines the beauty of things, while she combines the beauty of femininity and the beauty of masculinity. She is a model for all women of that era. She is a bunch of bright red flowers in the sea of green leaves on the anti-Japanese battlefield.

During the civil war

In that turbulent era, the ego must blend in with the ego. Beauty is a luxury when survival cannot be guaranteed. At that time, respected women were mostly revolutionary fighters and political flowers. Liu Hulan, who was born great and died glorious, and Jiang Jie, who was still reviled by the enemy after suffering ... both have persistent beliefs and tenacious will, and they are willing to shed blood and sacrifice for the future of China! Maybe they don't look like a city, but patriotism and burning blood have made their beauty unparalleled! At that time, "First Lady" Song Meiling was the best example.

Song Meiling wears cheongsam and speaks English, which is "the essence of Chinese and western culture". She was born intelligent, beautiful and capable. With the strong support of the Kong Song family and the American background, she became one of the most controversial and influential women in China's nearly 100-year history with the interweaving of power, financial resources and charm. She not only has the classical temperament of China, but also has the elegance of the west, and has a sharp and shrewd style, which makes people at home and abroad fall for it. Chiang Kai-shek's anti-Japanese war, "suppression of * * *" and defense of Taiwan Province needed the help of the United States everywhere, and Song Meiling was his biggest capital for obtaining material assistance and moral support from the United States. American Time magazine described Song Meiling as "a flower made of steel". The man of the hour who once appeared on the cover of Time magazine 1 1 times once looked at his life and death like this: "God let me live, I dare not die easily, God let me die, and I will never live with it." It is this firmness and domineering that makes her both rigid and flexible, and exudes the temptation of beauty from the inside out. Although she was the first lady of the Kuomintang, Song Meiling actually made great contributions to the independence and reunification of China: she contributed to the peaceful settlement of the Xi 'an incident, won great assistance for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, went to the front to encourage soldiers, and promoted the development of civil aviation in China ... More importantly, she resolutely opposed the "two China"! This view has been with her all her life and has a great influence on the Taiwan provincial government. It is her concern for the country and people that makes her the most admired figure among many beautiful women.

In the early days of New China.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people of China were finally freed from years of war, the people of China finally stood up straight as their own masters, and the women of China finally began to hold up half the sky that should belong to them. The people of China began to build in high spirits. In this era, there is an urgent need for a spiritual idol to inspire and inspire them. Therefore, if you look at the history of this era, you can't tell who is the most beautiful woman except that she has a gentle and affectionate name: Katyusha.

Katyusha is a hazy image. She has no specific appearance, she exists in legends and people's imagination. How beautiful do you think she is? She was the ideal in people's minds at that time.

Katyusha was originally the name of a beautiful girl in the former Soviet Union. During World War II, a song named Katyusha inspired countless frightened and confused young soldiers to go to the battlefield. Sang Song: "When pear blossoms spread all over the world, soft veils floated on the river, and Katyusha stood on the steep shore, singing like bright sunshine ..." So this image inspired thousands of Soviet Red Army in Qian Qian to bravely resist the enemy and spread it to China. Katyusha in the song has since become a popular "lover" of China men. She is the illusion of "her" in China men's hearts, inspiring them to make contributions to the prosperity of the motherland; Katyusha is a large group of women who devote their youth to the motherland. It was a large number of women in China who got rid of the shackles of traditional feudalism. They walked out of the shackles of family and held up half the sky for women. They don't pay much attention to external dressing, but they selflessly dedicate their youth. Dedicated to the cause, but also dedicated to the lover.

So Katyusha was the dream of everyone in that era. Both men and women, when they sang Katyusha's song, they not only remembered the war, but also looked forward to the new China.

During the Cultural Revolution

In that special era, all resolute things were regarded as beautiful. Although women are called girls, they are actually genderless. Apart from "one shoulder, two hands and two legs on a pole", they never care about their looks and personal feelings. They like to be called "iron girls", and they think it is really beautiful to be more masculine than men.

Xing Yan, a strong Tianjin girl, bid farewell to the comfortable life in big cities and joined the collective labor in rural areas. Her name once spread all over the country. "Punish the swallows, set an example/learn from Wang Guofan, learn from the iron girl/the whole family is in the city, and want to stay in the country/the garden to raise young children, and the frozen fish are full/frozen, and the seeds are cultivated/the stones grow grain/suffer hardships first, and enjoy the work in the back/all. Listen to the party's command, and Peking University will become a gold and silver nest/swallows team to fly over the Yellow River!" This song "Punishing Swallows" became a "popular golden song" that was really sung by everyone at that time. She took part in drought relief and was active in the front line. She planned to fish on the ice and got a bumper harvest. The commando named after her is famous all over the country ... she is like a never-ending god of war, full of energy and never tired. On that page in the 1960 s, there was always a swallow flying like an eagle, struggling with the limit of life in the wind and rain, glorious and moving.

However, the woman who really warmed that era, her name was taboo at that time. She is a singer with a sweet and inspiring voice, and people are as kind and natural as the breeze. After the sweet song, Teresa Teng fully embodied the graceful inner show of oriental women with classic songs, which became a milestone in China literary and art circles. The aesthetic standard of this era is taboo. When the strangled love between men and women gradually wakes up among the educated youth, love songs and love poems become popular. Of course, that's a secret. Teresa Teng's appearance can be said to be the result of extremes meet, and she was so rock-breaking but silent at that time. For the people of China at that time, she and her songs were gentle and destructive. Liu Mei has almond eyes, small red lips and dark hair, which is the standard beauty embryo. Colorful cheongsam, sportswear and long skirts stand out in the monotonous "blue-green army". And more importantly, under the exquisite clothes, she has a pair of breathtaking clear eyes, shining with pure light, silently destroying the last line of defense of people's hearts. So she moistened the north and south of the river, so she got drunk everywhere. Even her beauty is unfortunate, which made her last fragrant soul, her youthful appearance and sweet singing voice, and became the eternal Zhu Shazhi in everyone's heart.

The 1980s

This is an era not far away from us. This is the time when we were born. This era has the youth and fanaticism of our parents. The woman who can make them crazy is Liu Xiaoqing.

This woman has countless praises and abuses. She has experienced peaks that ordinary people can't imagine, and she has also encountered valleys that others will not have. Her life has experienced ups and downs. She has changed from an actress who laughs and scolds and explains various lifestyles to a businesswoman who skimps on makeup and gallops on the modern battlefield. The twists and turns can be clearly explained in a few words.

As an actress, she is regarded by many as the best actress in China, but she is also notorious for tax evasion. As a businessman, he raised 500,000 yuan in three years in luxury houses around the country, and was called "Billionaire Sister". All kinds of economic disputes also made him feel overwhelmed.

The extraordinary of such an extraordinary woman attracted countless followers and scoffers of that era, and her extraordinary stems from her self-confidence and spirit of daring to fight. Her role as Wu Zetian has revealed that she is such a woman with full personality. She is arrogant, confident and fearless. Liu Xiaoqing has several classic words: "It's harder to be a man, harder to be a woman and harder to be a celebrity", "I am the best actress in China" and "Success is the best tonic for women". These words seem a little self-righteous, but there is no denying that such excessive publicity did inspire some beauty in that era. Liu Xiaoqing dares to fight hard, but as an actor, he dares to try and catch this woman who is in the spotlight with high emotions. Down-to-earth, take the lead, let that era understand that the beauty of women is not the three obedience and four virtues entrusted to the family, but the high self-confidence and fighting spirit that dare to express and pursue what they want.

Such a successful businesswoman, such a businesswoman who holds her head high in the shopping mall, and such a woman who is focused by the spotlight will be remembered forever by a generation for her high-spirited and confident beauty. It can be said that she led an era of individuality.

11990s

The 90' s is an era of rapid change, and you must keep fresh in the 90' s; The 1990s was the age of information explosion, and everyone tried their best to be beautiful. Maggie Cheung is a typical representative of this era.

She is a good woman, she is a changeable woman, she is a charming woman. Over the years, she has been practicing herself in the camera, letting us know what elegance and beauty are, and she will never forget them. All the bruises have been purified by her beauty.

She said that as she grew older, the last thing she wanted to do was repeat reading. As changeable as a cat, she didn't have an outstanding appearance when she became the new favorite of the audience, but she conquered everyone because of the naive and seductive modeling changes. When she first started out, she looked like a girl next door. Her bright smile, which was a little cute with rabbit teeth, has evolved into a charming, confident and mature sunshine smile. It is more appropriate to describe it as "if she just turns her head and smiles, there are a hundred spells". In Ashes of Time, Maggie Cheung, as a woman who loves to wither, perfectly proves Yi Shu's lonely temperament that she is lonelier than fireworks. Later, Maggie Cheung's pungent, decisive and charming gold inlaid jade in Xinlongmen Inn became a classic. When she was wrapped in gauze, she circled down from upstairs, which made people deeply remember what various customs were; In Ruan, her body overlapped with the clothes and sideburns in the 1930s, and she became the leader of retro style. In "Rolling Red Dust", she is a frivolous and innocent person, and she initiated a happy new beauty. "Sweet Honey" is a snobbish but kind Guangzhou girl; In the mood for love, nearly 100 cheongsam sets off her elegant posture and almost eternal temperament. She is a dissolute and reserved woman. Soong Ching Ling in Song Dynasty was a strong, independent and generous woman. Then there is the strange girl in Zhang Yimou's Hero, family hatred and national hatred, and Emily, who has a great contrast in Cleanliness. 10 years, Maggie Cheung broke through itself in constant changes. In fact, she is the purple of flowers. After all kinds of colors, she looks like a fairy, and she has become the most typical golden nectar.

She said that a woman's beauty is a gift from heaven, but her beautiful temperament is a realm. When you cross the beautiful and colorful appearance, you will inevitably present a wonderful life. Based on self-confidence and natural style, her temperament makes her an elegant woman in many people's hearts. Her smile and every move are full of feminine charm. Maggie Cheung, a beautiful woman carved with time, faced the challenge of time with her own temperament, and her beauty was more noticeable than when she was young. It is she who, with her slightly raised jaw, quiet eyes and elegant posture, shows us a beautiful woman who is more suitable for modern people's diversified aesthetic concepts.

A woman as beautiful and changeable as a cat.

Temperament, diamond-like noble woman.
