What do you mean smart and beautiful?

Smart eyes and beautiful eyes are the lyrics of an ancient song, in which "smart eyes" and "beautiful eyes" are used to describe women's eyes. Smart eyes mean keen eyes and can see through people's hearts; Beautiful eyes refer to the beautiful and moving eyes. The whole lyrics mean that a woman's beautiful eyes are charming and colorful.

In the traditional culture of China, women's eyes are often used to describe their thoughts and morals. Like Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions, they are known as "women with dull eyes and no doubt", so they are considered to have noble moral sentiments. Therefore, "smart eyes" and "beautiful eyes" not only describe the external characteristics of women, but also represent their spiritual connotation.

In modern society, "smart eyes" and "beautiful eyes" are still important signs of female attraction. Different makeup and hairstyles will also change the impression of the eyes. In the commercial advertising and entertainment industries, women's eyes are decorated, enlarged and brightened to attract the attention of the audience. However, we also need to reflect on this commercial aesthetic concept, respect women's own beauty and spiritual connotation, and avoid external being the only criterion for women's existence.
