People in different cultures think differently about beauty because it is based on how each person was raised. One person could think that blond hair is beautiful but another could think that blond hair isn't. In China, citizens go to the extreme to make themselves and things around them look "beautiful" and it has even changes through the years. Good intro!  Foot binding is a process that citizens in China did to make their feet smaller. Foot binding was practiced in China from about the 10th century and ended in 1911 after approximately 1000 years. Foot binding was banned multiple times through these years but no one stopped until years later. In China, it was believed that small feet were beautiful. The Chinese Cinderella had "the perfect" size three foot and that's why only her foot could fit in the glass slipper. So from that, people in China began foot binding so that their feet would be perfect like Cinderella's (Miles 1). Interesting!! Foot binding began at about age 4 to 7 on Chinese girls. The foot would be soaked in hot water, then wrapped in a way that the toes of the person were turned under and pressed against the bottom of her foot. This helped the process that made the foot a size three. The big toe was not wrapped because it gave the woman balance. The arches of the foot were broken because the foot was pulled straight with the leg. This made the foot shrink. It took three or more years to do this. This process, for 10% of girls, caused death (thinkquest.org/FOOTBINDING 1). Some believed that the smaller the woman's feet the more desirable she would be in marriage. So that is another reason why capitalize CHINESE chinese girls bound their feet. The bandage that they used for their feet was ten feet long and two inches wide. The bandage was tightened each day and the foot was put into smaller and smaller shoes. After two years, the process was finished and after those years, the foot was useless for walking far. Bound feet had to be washed and cared for daily. If toe nails grew too long, infection could begin. If the bindings were too tight, gangrene and blood poisoning might happen (thinkquest.com/FOOTBINGING 1). All in all, foot binding was a process to make feet the perfect size three.(Miles 1) Well done and interesting!

A transition is needed here In China, modern day clothing is graceful and elegant. It shows glamour and is light and thin. People in China prefer to wear red because it means happiness and celebration.They use fans and mao suits are very popular. These suits are made of thick blue cotton, its a simple tunic with buttons down the front.Chinese ladies usually were a Traditional Chinese shirt and skirt.The chinese attitude toward life infulenced by the confucian ethic which teached respect and love for others. (Barnhart 59). Check spelling. A characteristic of traditional Chinese clothing is not only an expression of elegance, but also an internal symbolism. every piece of traditional clothing communicates a vitality of its own. For example, two feathers symbolize a bold and warlike spirit(Seegar 14). Is this paraphrased? Dark colors are worn by chinese people for traditional cerimonial purposes. They are favored more than light colors. Light colors usually have designs on them and is worn by the common people for everyday purposes.The Chinese have specific colors for specific seasons.Green represents spring, red symbolizes summer, white represents autumn, and black symbolizes winter. "The Chinese are said to have a fully developed system of matching, coordinating, and contrasting colors and shades of light and dark in apparel"(Levinso 109). Chinese women wear a Traditional Chinese shirt and skirt. Woman wear mao suits use fans and they also wear chopsticks in their hair. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">They avoid high heels and short sleeved blouses. The Chinese frown on women who display too much because its offensive(Levinso 111). <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">good info - be sure to check spelling. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> - Mao suits <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">Transition needed The buildings in China are mostly similar. Some of the more important palaces have lion statues on the walkways. If this lion is resting its paw on a small ball, it is representing a male lion. On the other hand, if the lion is standing atop a carp or baby lion, it is representing a lioness. Another interesting aspect of Chinese buildings are the roofs. They build slanted roofs, often of ceramic, because they believe that bad spirits will run right off the slide-like roofs. Additionally, Chinese citizens often utilize(d) timber and stone while building their homes. Occasionally, more important buildings would use glass (Embry 1). The Chinese valued some other elements as well. First, they value symmetrical buildings, regardless of whether it’s a shack or palace. They believe that symmetry brings balance, which is one aspect of Chinese Zen. Another aspect of homes in Western China are little gardens enclosed within the home. This small garden is called an open courtyard. The Chinese build these open courtyards in order to keep the temperatures down by providing air circulation. Finally, another Chinese custom involves their entrances. If the doors in China are on located at the front of the home, the owners are usually more important that owners of homes with side doors. Unfortunately, we are not able to see many of these old traditions and customs because countless homes and buildings were destroyed during the Ming Dynasty (Knapp, Spence and Ong 1). <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);"> This paragraph is very well written - is it paraphrased? <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> Chinese beauty has changed a lot throughout the years. Chinese beauty started simple and over the years it has been getting more complex. In the 1910's Chinese beauty couldn't get simpler. Women wore a white blouse with a black shirt and no cosmetics. Younger women straightened/smoothed their hair with promade and had a long fringe of hair going down the middle in the shape of a peach leave. Independent minded women sported fringes only half length but told a tale with their expressed eyebrows. In the 1920's eyebrow plucking was the beauty in China at the time. Rich women spent hours torturing their eyebrows to ease the pain of their suppressed passions of missing their husbands because they rarely got to see them ("The Changing Face of Chinese Beauty" 1 ). This was because the Japanese Invasion (McGill 1 ). 1930's Chinese beauty was the "famous actresses" time when there were eyebrow pencils, eye lash plucking tweezers, and false eye lashes that helped Chinese women look like an actress. The biggest fad of the 1930's was imported dark lipstick. All cosmetics were abandoned in the 1940's because it was during a so Chinese women showed their natural beauty with no make up at all. Lip stick went from being the biggest fad of the 30's to being considered an improper luxury item. Well-tended eyebrows and soft chins were humiliating at the time. Plain eyebrows and a firm chin indicated solidarity with the masses and revolutionary fervor. After the second world war in the 1950's, Chinese women returned to their husbands with short curls and a rose in their hair to resemble the last of them in the summer. This meant beauty and intelligence. "Evil Whiteness" was the issue with beauty in the 60's for Chinese women. They went to the country-side and sun-tanned for hours to get rid of the whiteness. Scorched bodies were the fashion statement of the 1960's and represented loyalty. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">Very interesting! Cosmetics were unimaginable because if women wore it, they would get punished. In the 1970's some Chinese women were unsatisfied with all of the beauty aids. They used fire tongs to curl fringes. Panda eyes and blood red lips told stories and jokes in the 1980's. Make-up was used for personal prefrences. Women in the 1990's were fed up with all the style gimmicks and miss the blue-gray edges on their face. "Less is more" for fashion in the 90's ("The Changing Face of Chinese Beauty" 1 ). -Red Lips -Plucked Eyebrows -White Blouse and Black Shirt

Everything from architecture, clothing, cosmetics, and Chinese rituals are a sign of beauty. Everyone around the world perceives beauty in different ways.In China, citizens go to the extreme to make themselves and things around them look "Beautiful" and it has even changes throughout the years. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">Excellent closing "tells a tale" great idea!
