Internationaler Buchtitel. In englischer Sprache. Verlag: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 220 Seiten, L=152mm, B=229mm, H=13mm, Gew.=327gr, Kartoniert/Broschiert, Klappentext: Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: 27 CHAPTER IV. A CHINESE WOMAN. The face of a Chinese female is distinguished by its breadth, and the smallness of the mouth, nose, and eyes; so that, as in the male, when the features are at rest, there is an apparent vacancy, or at least a great lack of expression. I have viewed several hundreds at a theatre, when they were collected in the front gallery by themselves, and the idea produced by every face before me was that of incompleteness. The admiration of a white skin is so prevalent, that a great many help the defects of nature by the applications of art, which increases the sense of vacancy in the mind of the beholder. But no sooner do evil or good nature sparkle in the eye and the lower features melt into a smile, than the deficiency is no longer felt. The smile of a Chinese woman is inexpressibly charming; we seldom see anything like it, save when the feelings of delight and complacency beam from the eyes of a wife or mistress upon the object of her choice. The eyebrow is sometimes thin and finely arched, which is reckoned one of the highest points of beauty, and might remind us of some of those perfections which classic story has dedicated to the Queen of Beauty. When the face is viewed in profile, there is something seen like a receding from the chin to the highest point of the forehead, or to speak in technical language, the facial angle is less in Chinese ladies than in our own. I rememberonce being struck with a lady who, by her remarks and smiles, made all gay around her. Her complexion needed no paint, her features were well proportioned, and her teeth like a row of pearls. Kindness and good humour gave a beautiful temperament to every part of her face: the eye was satisfied, till a side view all on a sudden brought this recession of the whole visage und...<
