What does Danfeng eye look like?

Almond-shaped eyes were a popular type of eyes in ancient times. The representative of almond-shaped eyes was Guan Yu. In the entertainment industry, there are also many celebrities with almond-shaped eyes. So, what does phoenix eyes look like?

This is a relatively beautiful type of eye, with the outer canthus larger than the inner canthus, and the outer canthus slightly higher than the inner canthus. The palpebral fissure is slender, narrow inside and wide outside, and spread out in an arc shape. The pupils and whites of the eyes are moderately exposed, the eyelid skin is thin, full of oriental charm, and the shape is delicate and lovely. This is one of the standard beautiful eye shapes for both men and women. search

A type of eye with upturned corners and narrow eyes, similar to the eyes of a phoenix. Its typical feature is that the inner corner of the eye points downwards and the outer corner of the eye points upwards, which is very beautiful. Therefore, some cars have their headlights designed in the shape of phoenix eyes.

Characteristics of Danfeng eyes

The characteristics of almond-shaped eyes are that the inner corner of the eye points downward, the tear gland is blocked, and the upper eyelid tends to cover the lower eyelid; on the other hand, the outer corner of the eye points upward. This feature is indeed not very obvious in many people, but it is still common. The phoenix eyes are long and narrow, with the tails of the eyes extending diagonally upwards towards the temple. The black pupils are hidden inside and not exposed, and the divine light shines so brightly that people dare not look at them closely.

People with this eye shape are naturally loyal and courageous, hate evil, and are brave and resourceful. They will help others when they see injustice, and they can clearly distinguish between love and hate. They will repay favors, value their promises and keep their word. They can suddenly become rich and powerful in troubled times, such as Wang Xifeng in "Dream of Red Mansions" and Guan Yu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

But in real life, it is almost impossible to find eyes like Guan Yu. Even if there are, they are just narrow and long single eyelids or more double eyelids, which can't be called beautiful at all. Since almond-shaped eyes are the most beautiful eye shape, they must have double eyelids, and the curvature of the upper and lower eyes is also the most beautiful, which is relatively rare in reality. The shape of the almond-shaped eyes is indescribably beautiful, combined with its characteristic description and the most beautiful eyes in reality!

In ancient times, there was a saying of "blue luan and red phoenix", the blue one was luan and the red one was phoenix. That is to say, Danfeng refers to the fiery red phoenix. After searching through ancient books and texts, there is only "Danfeng" and basically no "Shanfeng". There is only one "Shanfeng" that can be found in Baidu Chinese Studies, and it corresponds to "Shuanglong". From this we can see that the "Dan" in "Danfeng" has nothing to do with "Shan". The so-called "Shanfengyan" is actually a fabrication and rumor of later generations.

If we observe the phoenix eye makeup of the female roles in Peking Opera, we can see that there is no deliberate practice of creating single eyelids. Instead, the shape of the eyes is modified to highlight the upturned outer corners of the eyes. This eye shape does not deliberately make the eyes into a straight line. The phoenix eyes are long, but the middle and back part of the eyes are plump. Only in this way can they appear lively.

By observing the phoenix and Peking Opera makeup, we can see that the shape of the eyes changes from thin to round, then to thin and upturned from the inside to the outside. This is the main characteristic of phoenix eyes, and the so-called phoenix eyes may actually be phoenix eyes.

Classification

Phoenix eyes are divided into full phoenix and half phoenix. Half phoenix eyes are parallelograms (no matter any angle, no matter any expression) and are divided into five types: single eyelid phoenix eyes, double eyelid phoenix eyes, Rui phoenix eyes, Ming phoenix eyes, Sleeping phoenix eyes, and full phoenix eyes are based on a parallelogram, with the upper eyelid deriving to the temple.

Parallelogram is the standard eye shape, so it has two identities, one is the standard eye and the other is the semi-phoenix eye.
