China is a country with an ancient civilization， and the modern Chinese standards of beauty are often influenced by those from thousands of years ago.

The ancients had their own attitude towards beauty and fashion. Beauties Wearing Flowers is a Chinese painting of the Tang Dynasty. In this painting， women wear their black， smooth hair in a high bun. Various colors of their clothes match well. In addition， they wear floor-length dresses and their shawls are very thin and light， letting their skin show slightly.

In the painting， the women’s eyebrows are very pointed and eye-catching. This eyebrow was popular during the Tang Dynasty. It was actually typical of the fashions from the imperial court women during that period.

Lips were considered the most beautiful part of ancient women. From the Han Dynasty onwards， the ancients developed a deep interest in using rouge to paint different shapes on their lips， including a circle， a heart， a flower and so on. Cherry-like lips once appeared in many ancient Chinese paintings， and today many cover girls of fashion magazines have such lips.
