If you have a sad feeling that overflows your face, it is a sad face. However, "frown" and "bitter face" did not mean this in ancient times. "Frowning" is an ancient makeup artist, and women in Han Dynasty in China are very particular about plucking their eyebrows. Due to different painting methods, so-called eyebrow shapes such as "far eyebrow", "new makeup frown" and "eight-character eyebrow" appeared.
Ying Shao's "Custom Yi Tong" records: "Those who frown are thin and tortuous. If you cry, wipe your eyes gently. " At that time, women wore tight-wrinkled makeup, that is, they painted their eyebrows thin and tortuous to express their inner sadness. Frowning is consistent with crying makeup. Moist makeup, that is, painting a dim look at the moment, is to paint eye shadow, make eye sockets dim and make eyes brighter. Frowning and crying makeup is one of the fashionable dresses for women. Therefore, "frowning" is not the kind of "old society appearance" we understand today, but a beautiful image with considerable grace. The "bitter face" originated from Buddhism, which holds that life is a bitter sea. In order to explain that life is a bitter sea, Buddhism also explains people's faces. It is said that people's faces are born with a word "bitter": eyebrows are cursive prefix, eyes and nose form a "cross" and mouth is below, which together becomes a word "bitter".
A sad face means a sad face or expression.
