Why do you describe the S-shaped exquisite figure of women who are convex and backward, which makes people spray blood, as a devil figure?
Does the devil's figure really mean that the temptation is irresistible, that is, a natural stunner; Great, ordinary women are horrified to the point of outrageous. Do you think it's demon possession?
In fact, the origin of the devil's figure has a historical origin, and it is indeed a shocking story related to the devil.
In ancient times, at least in Europe, Asia and Africa, people's aesthetic standards were based on obesity. There is a simple reason. In ancient times, the economy was backward, and most people were hungry. Of course, people like to choose obese people. First of all, obesity proves that there is enough food. Second, fat can keep out the cold. Third, obese people are physically strong. Fourth, obesity is a symbol of wealth. In all respects, in ancient times, obesity was more likely to gain the right to mate and reproduce, which was also the aesthetic direction determined by natural selection and the evolution of human species.
Therefore, in ancient times, obesity was advocated all over the world, and there was no lack of evidence: in ancient China, people stubbornly believed that the standard of beauty was obesity, and the beauties sung in the Book of Songs, both men and women, were tall and fat; Later, in Cai Yong's "Han Shu Xie Chu Fu", the metaphor used to write beauty is more elegant: "The face is like a full moon, the glow is like the morning sun, the color is like a lotus flower, and the muscles are like condensed honey", but the overall image is still the same as "a basket of oil"; The King of Chu and Emperor Han Chengdi are just different, but Zhao Hede is not thin. In the Tang Dynasty, it was well known that being fat was beautiful, and Li Tang had the lineage and imprint of Xianbei people. If you think of people living on the grassland, you will understand that Mongolians regard obesity as beauty, which is also caused by the living environment and eating habits of the grassland. In ancient Europe, fat girls were also beautiful. It is not difficult to know this by referring to Rubens' paintings and depicting ancient Greek myths and characters. Africans' aesthetic view that fat is beauty continues to this day. In Mauritania in western Africa, obesity has always been a symbol of women's "beauty".
Enough gossiping and get down to business. In other words, many gods in European history are related to witchcraft, because wizards are responsible for spreading oracles, and witches are often equated with evil ... For example, at the Sabbat held at night, they will summon necromancers like necromancers; Transform the form like a deformed family; Or eat human flesh, or control nightmares; Even having sex with a low-level demon vampire! And the monster born by the evil witch mating with the devil or vampire is the devil. However, from 1480 to 1780, the persecution of "witches" swept across Europe for 300 years. There were roughly 654.38+million trials in Europe, and the number of witches executed ranged from 40,000 to 50,000. "Anti-Hammer Bone" depicts those evils and fornication; It is said that these witches dress up beautifully, seduce men, freeze or steal men's organs and make him impotent.
Demons, witches and demons or vampires are just a hybrid. They don't have much power. They can only hide in the dark to retaliate against human beings and organize the inheritance of Sabbat, because witches and vampires were basically killed and extinct at that time. In the late Middle Ages in Europe, those who survived that cruel and savage dark age were taught to be like pigs in a pigsty.
In most parts of Ireland, Wales, Brittany and Germany, witch hunting is relatively small and irrelevant. The center of hunting behavior runs south through the Rhine valley in Switzerland, west through northern France, until Flanders. Large-scale witch hunting also broke out in the lowlands of Scotland, as did Essex, England, where most demons were concentrated. They don't sleep during the day, go out at night and feed on humans, especially those who are obese.
Because demons have limited power, they only hunt single humans at night, mainly trapping obese young women. Demons inherit the witch's ability to transform the body, and can be turned into a charming woman with a graceful figure or a handsome man to seduce human beings. Because it is a hybrid, it generally does not have reproductive ability, just like a mule or a tiger or lion, even asexual, with extremely tenacious vitality, but sometimes it will be injured or injured to death, so women or weak men will generally be chosen to start; They don't choose old people to eat, because aging blood and cells will directly affect their bodies, and young blood will make them full of vitality.
At the end of the Middle Ages, the devil's activities were most rampant near Essex, England. They hide in underground caves, drains or abandoned houses, and they are harmful at night. Young people often disappear at night for no reason, mainly women, and even the devil in the town often eats people. During the period of 1637- 1639, there were more than 50,000 missing people in England, 90% of whom were obese young people, and the proportion of women exceeded 75%. Although the patrol and security work at night has been strengthened, it has not helped. The devil is mysterious. Few people escaped from the devil, and many raids failed. However, more and more people believe in the existence of the devil, and people begin to think about various ways to prevent being attacked by the devil, even afraid of going out at night.
Summing up experience, the devil will seduce people and like plump and delicate women with pear, apple and coconut shapes. Knowing this, England and even the whole western Europe set off a body-building craze; Even many women take the body shape transformed by the devil itself as the standard, imitating the body shape of Sabbat, which is what we call S-shaped body. They do everything possible to increase and improve their breasts and hips and make their waists thinner. This is the devil's figure.
In the dominant Christian culture in the Middle Ages, showing women's bodies was never regarded as beauty, lust was the temptation of the devil, and women's curves were regarded as enemies, so women's dresses in the Middle Ages almost invariably adopted a secretive attitude. It happened that through a struggle with the devil, the female figure was beautifully displayed for the first time. However, due to the underdeveloped technology in Europe at that time, they began to use some physical methods and means, among which corsets were introduced from Spain. At first, corsets were made of cloth, and the waist was tightened by tightening the belt; Later, in order to emphasize the waist and maintain the overall shape, whalebone was embedded in it. This corset is expensive and a symbol of aristocratic status. Of course, women in the lower class envy corsets, but they can't afford high prices and have to work all day, so they don't even have a chance to try them on. The corset shapes the female body into an S-shaped devil curve, at the cost of health and even life. Because of bondage, women's lung function is seriously weakened, organs such as stomach, kidney and intestine are forced to move down, blood vessels in the lower body are strongly oppressed, and the three functions of the human body-breathing, digestion and blood circulation are blocked at the same time, which will directly lead to sudden death in severe cases.
Compared with corsets that can't be popularized, the public is more willing to accept and use some drugs and herbal formulas, but there is no drug formula in the world that can shape a person's figure into a devil's figure, which is contradictory in itself, because one is+and the other is-,only formulas such as weight loss and breast enhancement can be used separately, but the side effects of chemical drugs are no less than corsets, which is very harmful to the body, especially in that era of low scientific level. People still generally use natural herbal formulas, combining external use with oral use; Among them are French cellulose formula and Chinese medicine formula brought back from China by missionaries in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The French have a tradition of mixing herbal formulas. They found that the cellulose formula originally used for health care has a good effect on losing weight and slimming waist. As a result, the French herbal formula became famous and spread all over Europe. In fact, cellulose thin waist has certain scientific basis, because it can replace some nutrients in food and reduce the total food intake; Cellulose promotes the secretion of saliva and digestive juice, fills the stomach, absorbs water and expands, which can produce satiety and inhibit the desire to eat; It combines with some fatty acids, so that fatty acids cannot be absorbed when passing through the digestive tract, thus reducing the absorption rate of fat. Of course, this was later confirmed. At that time, some French people who could do business sold their cellulose recipes all over Europe. In order to keep up with the trend, they also called it Stunner cellulose formula, and in order to keep up with the S curve pursued by people, they named it Sabbat cellulose formula. Coincidentally, the initials of Stunner and Sabbat are both S, which conforms to the S-shaped figure curve, so there is the back (S). However, the French formula of S- fibrin was not enough to shape the S-curve that people urgently needed at that time. They also need breast enhancement. One of the effective formulas is actually the formula in Compendium of Materia Medica written by Li Shizhen, who was brought to China by European missionaries in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. In Compendium of Materia Medica, there are many kinds of natural drugs that can breast enlargement. One of them recorded that the secret recipe of Hanting was spread to Europe, and the missionaries at that time called it (Chinese side); In Britain, the British call it Chinese herbal medicine. Moreover, this is a formula that needs to be processed before external use, and it does not conflict with edible S- cellulose, so these two formulas are very popular in Europe, especially in Britain, and the demand is in short supply.
People are trying all kinds of ways to deal with the devil, but they are all effective. It is said that a cold winter in Europe gave the devil a fatal blow. The snowstorm swept through Europe for more than two months, killing many people and animals, and the whole of Europe seemed to be frozen. The devil can only eat frozen animal carcasses when he is seriously short of food, which is very serious to himself. In this harsh environment, demons with almost no reproductive ability are seriously aging and almost extinct.
Centuries after the devil disappeared, in Egypt, on the African continent across the sea, people found documents such as (S-cellose) S-fibrin, (Chinese herbal prescription) and so on. Today, European museums still retain corsets and men's vests embedded with metal. Looking at people's beautiful bodies today, it is hard for us to imagine that this devil's body is really changed by the devil, and they have indeed changed our aesthetic direction.
