Hair

　　头发

　　Dark, bright, thick and long hair is the only type considered traditionally beautiful when hair is concerned. People praise thick, black hair like streaks of clouds in the sky.

　　提到头发，黑色、光亮、浓密的长发被认为是传统的东方美人唯一特征。人们夸赞浓密的黑发如同“天空中的暗纹”。

　　Hairstyles throughout Chinese history have varied, influenced by a particular concubine who represents the style of each dynasty. Styles have ranged from straight hair (Zhang Lihua), curly hair (Zhao Hede), ornate hairdos (Zhao Feiyan) to hair that is gathered up on top of the head and decorated with various ornaments.

　　中国历史上的发型受特殊的妾室的影响多种多样纷呈不同，每个人都代表了每个朝代的美人发型。从直发(张丽华)，卷发(赵合德)，华丽的发型(赵飞燕)还有把头发盘在头顶并配饰上各种各样的饰品。

　　小编点评：“鬓云欲度香腮雪”，对于美女发型的定义古今已是大有不同。现在的发型千奇百怪也能为美女增添风采。不过果然最传统的中国美女还是“黑长直”(black、long、straight)。
