Some readers in the previous article "Three Squirrel Posters Overturned: Insulting China and Vilifying the Chinese People, What is it?" Leave a message and let the little fox say "Why squinting is insulting.".
So today we're going to break it.
"Squinting" insulting Hua, I thought I didn't need to argue much, people with normal IQs will want to understand.
But unexpectedly, this trip is more and more muddy.
They have all brought out the Terracotta Warriors and Horses from more than 2,000 years ago, the Dunhuang murals from more than 1,000 years ago, and the ancient Chinese figure paintings from hundreds of years ago.
Some people also said that Qin Shi Huang should be dug out to test his ingredients to see if it was insulting Hua, because the terracotta warriors caused "squinting eyes".
These people have taken out China's thousands of years of history, indicating that "squinting" is not an insult to China, Chinese looks like this, but also a high-level face, ancient emperors and generals, intellectuals love to "squint".
After such an argument, do you feel that you have wronged the model of the three squirrels and wronged other "squinting" works?

In fact, such a logical vortex makes it easy for people to get involved and think that they are reasonable.
Today's open defecation is certainly an uncivilized phenomenon, but people who are caught will say that before there was no public toilet, who did not defecate on the ground, how come today is not civilized?
Today's vertical middle finger is insulting, but you can also argue that the middle finger is like this, isn't your middle finger the longest in the finger?
Well, do you think the man who defecated on the ground is right? Everyone in history has done this, and I can do it now?
Similarly, is it right to justify the person with the middle finger? The middle finger is the longest in the finger, so the vertical middle finger is a natural thing, not an insult?
If you want to understand these things, you will know how absurd it is for those who justify the established reality of the Terracotta Warriors, Dunhuang murals, Chinese and small eyes.

The English word for "squinting" is "slanted eyes", which literally translates to "crooked eyes", and the passive voice highlights the deliberateness of the action of "pulling the corner of the eye".
Specific to the character makeup, it is Fu Manchu.
Yes, in the eyes of Westerners, Chinese are "crooked eyes."
Bruce Lee also talked about this matter in an interview in the United States, and in american dramas, Chinese eyes are to be squinted.
This is the reason for the insult of "squinting eyes", deliberately dressing Chinese into a slanted figure.
"Squinting eyes" is not equal to small eyes, and it is not equal to Dan Phoenix eyes.
Bruce Lee's eyes are also not big, but did you see him in the movie dressed up as squinting eyes?
The middle finger is indeed the longest in the finger, but if you leak it alone, you are insulting.
Chinese, there are small eyes, but you deliberately make up squinty eyes, that is to insult Hua.
The insult to China by "squinting" actually stems from a kind of ultra-nationalism in the West in the 19th century, when the so-called "yellow peril theory" was popular.
The theory preaches that yellows are a threat to whites, and that whites should unite against yellows.
Under the guidance of such a theory, novels, film and television dramas and other literary and artistic works gradually gave birth to Fu Manchu, a typical insulting role of China, in order to cooperate with the propaganda of the "Yellow Peril Theory".
And Fu Manchu's appearance is characterized by "squinting eyes" - slanted eyes, "crooked eyes"
In other words, "squinting" is the act of western white people insulting the Chinese, just as someone is insulting you now by giving you a middle finger.
The tone of the insult to China is determined after The image of Fu Manchu is determined, that is, a hundred years ago, and you say that those who justified the Terracotta Warriors and the Dunhuang murals from one or two thousand years ago are not funny?
Also, the portraits of ancient Chinese figures are not as ugly as the current "squinting" makeup.

There is also a saying that "squinting eyes" is that Chinese to be confident, and it cannot be westerners who say that "squinting eyes" insult China, we recognize that we must confidently accept this "squinting" and tell Westerners that "squinting" is a high-level face.
This justification, in my opinion, is self-inflicted.
People spit on your face, don't return the mouth, don't fight back, let the saliva on your face dry itself.
Really confident.
Insult you, you still do not resist, that is called self-confidence?
That's called weakness, not daring to take the call.
In the classic movie "Jingwumen", the Japanese insulted Chinese, and Chen Zhen, played by Bruce Lee, told the Japanese with his fists, "Chinese is not the sick man of East Asia."
This is called self-confidence.
Now it's good, people insult the door, you say not to fight back is called confidence, I am really speechless.
Not only do not fight back, but also try their best to find reasons for the other party, saying that there are indeed people with small eyes in the Chinese, so "squinting" is not an insult.
You said that Chen Zhen saw the Japanese insulting Chinese was the sick man of East Asia, whether he went to the Hongkou dojo to smash the field, or did he defend the Japanese Chinese there were indeed frail, sick and disabled people, and the Japanese said that Chinese was the sick man of East Asia.
The "Sick Man of East Asia" plaque, which was kicked and broken by Bruce Lee, was glued back by these people.
These people who stick the "plaque" back are actually not unaware that this is an insult to China, after all, they still want to be foreigners' dogs, otherwise who invited them to go to Paris, New York, fashion week to be models and artists?
