摘要:在中国,白皙皮肤不仅代表美丽,也象征社会地位和文化认同。中国古代文献和诗歌中常赞美白皙肌肤,这种审美偏好至今仍深植人心。而现代中国人的防晒习惯从物理防晒工具到高科技防晒产品得多样化,也反映出中国消费者对健康和美的追求。与西方晒黑文化不同,中国更倾向于通过防晒保持肌肤白皙,形成了独特的防晒文化。
 +
 +
一 、文化与社会视角下的白皙肌肤偏好
 +
在中国,防晒不仅是健康问题,更是一种审美追求。中国传统文化中就有对白皙皮肤的赞美,如“肤如凝脂,手若柔荑”等诗句,宋玉《登徒子好色赋》中“肌如白雪”的描写体现了对白皙肌肤的崇尚。这种文化背景进一步强化了中国人防晒的行为和需求。
 +
在古代,劳动者因长时间日晒皮肤黝黑,而贵族阶层无需劳作,能维持白皙皮肤,白皙皮肤就成为了社会地位的象征。古代的防晒方式也很多样,包括物理防晒和化学防晒。物理防晒如华盖(类似于现代遮阳伞)和斗笠,华盖在古代是统治者或皇亲国戚使用的,而普通百姓则使用竹编斗笠或油纸伞。化学防晒方面,如唐朝时期女子使用铅粉敷脸,类似于现代的BB霜,虽然有防晒和美白效果,但因为它的毒性,后来逐渐被其他更天然的防晒用品所取代,如“玉女桃花粉”、“珍珠粉”和“石粉”等。特别是珍珠粉,因其能阻挡紫外线和含有美白成分SOD,成为了古代防晒粉中的王牌产品,甚至现代的防晒霜也会添加珍珠粉。古代人们还会穿着轻薄的衣物如纱衣和葛衣来防晒。纱衣因其轻薄透气,适合夏季穿着,而葛衣则更为经济实惠。
 +
 +
二、与西方对比的防晒习惯差异
 +
对比中国古代,西方世界也有自己的防晒方式。古埃及人使用米糠、茉莉花、羽扇豆作为原料,以方解石作为粘合剂涂抹在皮肤上,这些成分至今仍是皮肤保养的热门成分。古希腊的勇士们为了减轻长时间在户外活动被阳光灼伤肌肤的刺痛感,将橄榄油抹在赤裸的身体上,并撒上少许粉末以便于竞技时互相抓握。涂抹橄榄油后的肌肤不仅不易晒伤,而且变得滋润而有光泽,这也是早期防晒霜的雏形。他们也有使用遮阳伞的习惯,早在19世纪时,遮阳的伞就成了时髦Lady出门的随身必备品。
 +
在现代西方国家,尤其是美国和澳大利亚,晒黑皮肤被视为健康和美丽的象征,人们倾向于长时间晒太阳以达到这种效果。相比之下,东亚国家,包括中国,更倾向于白皙皮肤,认为这代表了年轻、干净和气质,因此更注重防晒以防止皮肤自然变黑。
 +
 +
三、现代防晒习惯的演变
 +
随着国内消费者对皮肤护理及防晒认知的不断提高,消费者使用防晒产品的场景和频次也逐渐增多。得益于此,中国防晒化妆品的市场规模逐年扩大。(张云哲,肖鹏宇,慕昱杰 2022)现代中国人的防晒习惯已经从简单的涂抹防晒霜升级为全方位的防护措施。出门带伞、戴墨镜、穿防晒衣成为日常防晒的标配。此外,使用抗UV遮阳伞和口罩也是常见的防晒手段。从防晒数据我们也能了解到现代防晒习惯的演变,比如近年来,中国已成为全球最大的防晒产品市场之一。2023年,中国防晒产品的零售额达到1740亿元人民币,同比增长10.3%。预计到2028年,这一数字将增长至2520亿元人民币。
 +
随着消费者需求的变化,防晒产品的形式和功能也在不断升级。现代防晒品包括喷雾、乳液等多种形式,并整合了保湿、抗衰老、美白等多功能效果。消费者在选择产品时,通常会参考SPF和PA值,而智能UV过滤技术则可以根据环境条件提供个性化防护。据2024年一项相关研究指出,42.4%的消费者一周使用4-6次防晒物品,33.9%的消费者每天都会使用防晒物品,显示出消费者对防晒物品的使用频率较高。
 +
那么,是什么在推动中国防晒市场的快速崛起呢?社交媒体无疑是最主要的推手。像小红书和抖音这样的平台上,网红和明星们通过分享防晒教程和产品测评,不仅向大众科普了全方位防晒知识,也直接影响了消费者的选择,促进了防晒产品销量的增长。2022年数据显示,小红书防晒行业分析夏季笔记数量最多 ; 防晒投放笔记共19.38万篇,护肤行业全部笔记共有357万篇,占行业投放笔记的5%,属于成熟行业;相关互动热词包括“隔离防晒霜”“防晒霜推荐”“儿童防晒霜”“好用的防晒霜”“物理防晒霜”“宝宝防晒霜”“防晒霜平价”“清透防晒霜”“美白防晒霜”等。而各大广告中拥有白皙肤色的模特和明星频繁出现,由此可见,媒体也在一定程度上强化了这一偏好,进一步推动了美白和防晒产品的需求。
 +
中国的防晒文化深深根植于传统价值观和现代技术进步。从古代的白粉到高科技防晒产品,这一历程展现了传统与创新的结合,以满足不断变化的消费者需求。
 +
 +
互动问题:
 +
问题 1: 为什么中国人如此注重保持皮肤白皙?
 +
答案: 在中国,白皙皮肤被视为美丽、健康和社会地位的象征。传统文化中的诗句和历史上的审美标准,强化了这一偏好。白皙皮肤也常与贵族阶层关联,成为尊贵身份的标志。
 +
问题 2: 古代中国人如何防晒?
 +
答案: 古代中国人使用多种方法防晒,包括物理防晒工具如遮阳伞、斗笠,和化学防晒产品如铅粉、珍珠粉等。珍珠粉因其防晒和美白效果,成为当时的热门产品。
 +
问题 3: 现代中国的防晒习惯有什么变化?
 +
答案: 现代中国人的防晒习惯已经从涂抹防晒霜发展到全面的防护措施,包括使用抗UV遮阳伞、口罩和防晒衣物等。同时,社交媒体的普及也促进了防晒产品的使用和需求增长。

Why Do Chinese People Emphasize Fair Skin
 +

Abstract:
 +
In China, fair skin not only represents beauty but also symbolizes social status and cultural identity. Ancient Chinese literature and poetry often praise fair skin, reflecting a deep-rooted aesthetic preference that persists today. Modern sun protection habits range from physical tools to high-tech products, highlighting Chinese consumers’ pursuit of health and beauty. Unlike the tanning culture in the West, China leans towards preserving fair skin, creating a unique sun protection culture.
 +
 +
1. Preference for Fair Skin from Cultural and Social Perspectives
 +
In China, sun protection is not just a health concern but also an aesthetic pursuit. Traditional Chinese culture has long celebrated fair skin, as seen in phrases like “skin as smooth as bitty cream, hands as soft as tender shoots,” and in Song Yu’s Deng Tuzi Fond of Beauty with the description “skin like white snow,” reflecting the admiration for fair skin. This cultural background has further reinforced the behaviors and demands for sun protection among Chinese people.
 +
Historically, laborers’ exposure to sunlight led to tanned skin, while the aristocracy, free from physical toil, maintained fair skin, thus associating fairness with social status. Ancient sun protection methods were diverse, including physical and chemical means. Physical tools like Huagai (similar to modern umbrellas) and bamboo hats were used. Huagai, in particular, was reserved for rulers or royals, while commoners relied on bamboo hats or oiled paper umbrellas.
 +
In terms of chemical sun protection, Tang Dynasty women used lead powder, akin to modern BB cream, for both whitening and sun protection. However, its toxicity led to its gradual replacement by natural alternatives like “Yunu Peach Blossom Powder,” “Pearl Powder,” and “Stone Powder.” Especially pearl powder, known for its ability to block UV rays and its whitening ingredient SOD, became a favored ancient product and remains an additive in modern sunscreens. Clothing also played a role: lightweight fabrics like gauze and ramie cloth were popular for summer wear, providing both sun protection and comfort.
 +
 +
2. Differences in Sun Protection Habits Between China and the West
 +
In comparison to ancient China, Western civilizations also developed their own sun protection methods. Ancient Egyptians used ingredients like rice bran, jasmine, and lupine, bound together with calcite, which are still popular in modern skincare. Ancient Greeks, particularly athletes, applied olive oil to their skin to soothe sunburns and enhance skin elasticity, often dusting it with powder for grip during competitions. This practice, apart from sun protection, gave their skin a glossy appearance, serving as a precursor to modern sunscreen.
 +
In modern Western countries, especially the United States and Australia, tanned skin is considered a sign of health and beauty, leading people to spend extended time in the sun. In contrast, East Asian countries, including China, value fair skin, which is associated with youthfulness, cleanliness, and elegance. This has shaped a culture that prioritizes sun protection to maintain natural fairness.
 +
 +
3. Evolution of Modern Sun Protection Habits
 +
With increasing awareness of skincare and sun protection, Chinese consumers have expanded the scenarios and frequency of sunscreen use. Consequently, China’s sunscreen market has grown annually. (Zhang Yunzhe, Xiao Pengyu, Mu Yujie, 2022) Modern Chinese sun protection habits now encompass comprehensive measures beyond sunscreen application, including carrying umbrellas, wearing sunglasses, and donning sun-protective clothing.
 +
Anti-UV umbrellas and masks have become common sun protection tools. For example, in 2023, China’s sunscreen retail market reached 174 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.3%. This figure is projected to grow to 252 billion yuan by 2028.
 +
To meet evolving consumer needs, sunscreen products have diversified in form and functionality. Modern options include sprays and lotions with integrated features like moisturizing, anti-aging, and whitening. Consumers often refer to SPF and PA values when selecting products, while advanced UV filtering technologies provide personalized protection based on environmental conditions.
 +
According to a 2024 study, 42.4% of consumers use sunscreen 4-6 times a week, and 33.9% use it daily, demonstrating high usage frequency.
 +
Social media plays a pivotal role in driving the growth of China’s sunscreen market. Platforms like Xiaohongshu and Douyin enable influencers and celebrities to share tutorials and product reviews, raising awareness of comprehensive sun protection and directly influencing consumer choices. For example, in 2022, Xiaohongshu recorded 193,800 posts related to sunscreen, reflecting the maturity of the industry. Interactive keywords included “sunscreen recommendations,” “physical sunscreen,” and “affordable sunscreens.” Advertisements frequently feature models and celebrities with fair skin, reinforcing the preference for fairness and further driving demand for whitening and sun protection products.
 +
 +
Interactive Questions:
 +
Q1: Why do Chinese people emphasize fair skin?
 +
A: In China, fair skin symbolizes beauty, health, and social status. Traditional cultural phrases and historical aesthetic standards have reinforced this preference. Fair skin is often associated with the aristocracy, marking it as a sign of nobility.
 +
Q2: How did ancient Chinese protect their skin from the sun?
 +
A: Ancient Chinese used physical tools like umbrellas and bamboo hats, as well as chemical products like lead powder and pearl powder. Pearl powder, in particular, was popular for its UV-blocking and whitening properties.
 +
Q3: How have modern Chinese sun protection habits evolved?
 +
A: Modern habits have shifted from simple sunscreen application to comprehensive measures, including UV umbrellas, masks, and sun-protective clothing. Social media has significantly influenced product choices and awareness.

中国人为什么如此注重保持皮肤白皙 姓名:赵思瑶 学号:202370081615

摘要:在中国,白皙皮肤不仅代表美丽,也象征社会地位和文化认同。中国古代文献和诗歌中常赞美白皙肌肤,这种审美偏好至今仍深植人心。而现代中国人的防晒习惯从物理防晒工具到高科技防晒产品得多样化,也反映出中国消费者对健康和美的追求。与西方晒黑文化不同,中国更倾向于通过防晒保持肌肤白皙,形成了独特的防晒文化。

一 、文化与社会视角下的白皙肌肤偏好 在中国,防晒不仅是健康问题,更是一种审美追求。中国传统文化中就有对白皙皮肤的赞美,如“肤如凝脂,手若柔荑”等诗句,宋玉《登徒子好色赋》中“肌如白雪”的描写体现了对白皙肌肤的崇尚。这种文化背景进一步强化了中国人防晒的行为和需求。 在古代,劳动者因长时间日晒皮肤黝黑,而贵族阶层无需劳作,能维持白皙皮肤,白皙皮肤就成为了社会地位的象征。古代的防晒方式也很多样,包括物理防晒和化学防晒。物理防晒如华盖(类似于现代遮阳伞)和斗笠,华盖在古代是统治者或皇亲国戚使用的,而普通百姓则使用竹编斗笠或油纸伞。化学防晒方面,如唐朝时期女子使用铅粉敷脸,类似于现代的BB霜,虽然有防晒和美白效果,但因为它的毒性,后来逐渐被其他更天然的防晒用品所取代,如“玉女桃花粉”、“珍珠粉”和“石粉”等。特别是珍珠粉,因其能阻挡紫外线和含有美白成分SOD,成为了古代防晒粉中的王牌产品,甚至现代的防晒霜也会添加珍珠粉。古代人们还会穿着轻薄的衣物如纱衣和葛衣来防晒。纱衣因其轻薄透气,适合夏季穿着,而葛衣则更为经济实惠。

二、与西方对比的防晒习惯差异 对比中国古代,西方世界也有自己的防晒方式。古埃及人使用米糠、茉莉花、羽扇豆作为原料,以方解石作为粘合剂涂抹在皮肤上,这些成分至今仍是皮肤保养的热门成分。古希腊的勇士们为了减轻长时间在户外活动被阳光灼伤肌肤的刺痛感,将橄榄油抹在赤裸的身体上,并撒上少许粉末以便于竞技时互相抓握。涂抹橄榄油后的肌肤不仅不易晒伤,而且变得滋润而有光泽,这也是早期防晒霜的雏形。他们也有使用遮阳伞的习惯,早在19世纪时,遮阳的伞就成了时髦Lady出门的随身必备品。 在现代西方国家,尤其是美国和澳大利亚,晒黑皮肤被视为健康和美丽的象征,人们倾向于长时间晒太阳以达到这种效果。相比之下,东亚国家,包括中国,更倾向于白皙皮肤,认为这代表了年轻、干净和气质,因此更注重防晒以防止皮肤自然变黑。

三、现代防晒习惯的演变 随着国内消费者对皮肤护理及防晒认知的不断提高,消费者使用防晒产品的场景和频次也逐渐增多。得益于此,中国防晒化妆品的市场规模逐年扩大。(张云哲,肖鹏宇,慕昱杰 2022)现代中国人的防晒习惯已经从简单的涂抹防晒霜升级为全方位的防护措施。出门带伞、戴墨镜、穿防晒衣成为日常防晒的标配。此外,使用抗UV遮阳伞和口罩也是常见的防晒手段。从防晒数据我们也能了解到现代防晒习惯的演变,比如近年来,中国已成为全球最大的防晒产品市场之一。2023年,中国防晒产品的零售额达到1740亿元人民币,同比增长10.3%。预计到2028年,这一数字将增长至2520亿元人民币。 随着消费者需求的变化,防晒产品的形式和功能也在不断升级。现代防晒品包括喷雾、乳液等多种形式,并整合了保湿、抗衰老、美白等多功能效果。消费者在选择产品时,通常会参考SPF和PA值,而智能UV过滤技术则可以根据环境条件提供个性化防护。据2024年一项相关研究指出,42.4%的消费者一周使用4-6次防晒物品,33.9%的消费者每天都会使用防晒物品,显示出消费者对防晒物品的使用频率较高。 那么,是什么在推动中国防晒市场的快速崛起呢?社交媒体无疑是最主要的推手。像小红书和抖音这样的平台上,网红和明星们通过分享防晒教程和产品测评,不仅向大众科普了全方位防晒知识,也直接影响了消费者的选择,促进了防晒产品销量的增长。2022年数据显示,小红书防晒行业分析夏季笔记数量最多 ; 防晒投放笔记共19.38万篇,护肤行业全部笔记共有357万篇,占行业投放笔记的5%,属于成熟行业;相关互动热词包括“隔离防晒霜”“防晒霜推荐”“儿童防晒霜”“好用的防晒霜”“物理防晒霜”“宝宝防晒霜”“防晒霜平价”“清透防晒霜”“美白防晒霜”等。而各大广告中拥有白皙肤色的模特和明星频繁出现,由此可见,媒体也在一定程度上强化了这一偏好,进一步推动了美白和防晒产品的需求。 中国的防晒文化深深根植于传统价值观和现代技术进步。从古代的白粉到高科技防晒产品,这一历程展现了传统与创新的结合,以满足不断变化的消费者需求。

Why Do Chinese People Emphasize Fair Skin Name: Zhao Siyao Student ID: 202370081615

Abstract: In China, fair skin not only represents beauty but also symbolizes social status and cultural identity. Ancient Chinese literature and poetry often praise fair skin, reflecting a deep-rooted aesthetic preference that persists today. Modern sun protection habits range from physical tools to high-tech products, highlighting Chinese consumers’ pursuit of health and beauty. Unlike the tanning culture in the West, China leans towards preserving fair skin, creating a unique sun protection culture.

1. Preference for Fair Skin from Cultural and Social Perspectives In China, sun protection is not just a health concern but also an aesthetic pursuit. Traditional Chinese culture has long celebrated fair skin, as seen in phrases like “skin as smooth as bitty cream, hands as soft as tender shoots,” and in Song Yu’s Deng Tuzi Fond of Beauty with the description “skin like white snow,” reflecting the admiration for fair skin. This cultural background has further reinforced the behaviors and demands for sun protection among Chinese people. Historically, laborers’ exposure to sunlight led to tanned skin, while the aristocracy, free from physical toil, maintained fair skin, thus associating fairness with social status. Ancient sun protection methods were diverse, including physical and chemical means. Physical tools like Huagai (similar to modern umbrellas) and bamboo hats were used. Huagai, in particular, was reserved for rulers or royals, while commoners relied on bamboo hats or oiled paper umbrellas. In terms of chemical sun protection, Tang Dynasty women used lead powder, akin to modern BB cream, for both whitening and sun protection. However, its toxicity led to its gradual replacement by natural alternatives like “Yunu Peach Blossom Powder,” “Pearl Powder,” and “Stone Powder.” Especially pearl powder, known for its ability to block UV rays and its whitening ingredient SOD, became a favored ancient product and remains an additive in modern sunscreens. Clothing also played a role: lightweight fabrics like gauze and ramie cloth were popular for summer wear, providing both sun protection and comfort.

2. Differences in Sun Protection Habits Between China and the West In comparison to ancient China, Western civilizations also developed their own sun protection methods. Ancient Egyptians used ingredients like rice bran, jasmine, and lupine, bound together with calcite, which are still popular in modern skincare. Ancient Greeks, particularly athletes, applied olive oil to their skin to soothe sunburns and enhance skin elasticity, often dusting it with powder for grip during competitions. This practice, apart from sun protection, gave their skin a glossy appearance, serving as a precursor to modern sunscreen. In modern Western countries, especially the United States and Australia, tanned skin is considered a sign of health and beauty, leading people to spend extended time in the sun. In contrast, East Asian countries, including China, value fair skin, which is associated with youthfulness, cleanliness, and elegance. This has shaped a culture that prioritizes sun protection to maintain natural fairness.

3. Evolution of Modern Sun Protection Habits With increasing awareness of skincare and sun protection, Chinese consumers have expanded the scenarios and frequency of sunscreen use. Consequently, China’s sunscreen market has grown annually. (Zhang Yunzhe, Xiao Pengyu, Mu Yujie, 2022) Modern Chinese sun protection habits now encompass comprehensive measures beyond sunscreen application, including carrying umbrellas, wearing sunglasses, and donning sun-protective clothing. Anti-UV umbrellas and masks have become common sun protection tools. For example, in 2023, China’s sunscreen retail market reached 174 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.3%. This figure is projected to grow to 252 billion yuan by 2028. To meet evolving consumer needs, sunscreen products have diversified in form and functionality. Modern options include sprays and lotions with integrated features like moisturizing, anti-aging, and whitening. Consumers often refer to SPF and PA values when selecting products, while advanced UV filtering technologies provide personalized protection based on environmental conditions. According to a 2024 study, 42.4% of consumers use sunscreen 4-6 times a week, and 33.9% use it daily, demonstrating high usage frequency. Social media plays a pivotal role in driving the growth of China’s sunscreen market. Platforms like Xiaohongshu and Douyin enable influencers and celebrities to share tutorials and product reviews, raising awareness of comprehensive sun protection and directly influencing consumer choices. For example, in 2022, Xiaohongshu recorded 193,800 posts related to sunscreen, reflecting the maturity of the industry. Interactive keywords included “sunscreen recommendations,” “physical sunscreen,” and “affordable sunscreens.” Advertisements frequently feature models and celebrities with fair skin, reinforcing the preference for fairness and further driving demand for whitening and sun protection products.

A: Modern habits have shifted from simple sunscreen application to comprehensive measures, including UV umbrellas, masks, and sun-protective clothing. Social media has significantly influenced product choices and awareness.
