In \u201cLing Biao Lu Yi (\u5cad\u8868\u5f55\u5f02)\u201d by Liu Xun (\u5218\u6042) of the Tang dynasty: \u201c\u9e64\u5b50\u8349\uff0c\u8513\u751f\u4e5f\u3002\u5176\u82b1\u9eb4\u5c18\uff0c\u8272\u6d45\u7d2b\uff0c\u8482\u53f6\u5982\u67f3\u800c\u77ed\u3002\u5f53\u590f\u5f00\u82b1\uff0c\u53c8\u547c\u4e3a\u7eff\u82b1\u7eff\u53f6\u3002\u5357\u4eba\u4e91\u662f\u5a9a\u8349\uff0c\u91c7\u4e4b\u66dd\u4e7e\uff0c\u4ee5\u4ee3\u9762\u9765\u3002\u201d<\/p>\n

Face dimples refer to the small indentations in facial skin that often appear when laughing. The presence of dimples will make facial expressions livelier, look more lively and beautiful, and more charming, so it is considered a sign of beauty, and many ancient young women liked it so they draw dots in the corners of the mouth.<\/p>\n

Mian Ye is a type of makeup applied to the dimples of the cheeks, usually painted\/colored with rouge.<\/p>\n

Wang Jia of the Eastern Jin dynasty recorded story in \u300a\u62fe\u9057\u8bb0\u300b, saying that Sun Quan\u2019s son, Sun He, loved Lady Deng and often held her on his knees. One night, Sun He waved the Ruyi crystal under the moonlight, and injured Lady Deng\u2019s cheek, and blood flowed down her face.<\/p>\n

Sun He hurriedly called for the imperial doctor to make an ointment. The imperial doctor said that scars could be removed by mixing white beaver marrow, jade flakes, and amber flakes. Sun He then offered the world a hundred gold bounty and obtained the bone marrow from the white beaver. As a result of using too much amber powder, Lady Deng applied it, and red spots remained on her cheeks, but Sun He felt that Lady Deng looked prettier. Sun He\u2019s other concubines also drew red dots on their cheeks.<\/p>\n

In the Tang dynasty, Mian Ye, along with Huadian<\/a> and Xiehong<\/a>, became the makeup that was often found at that time, and later in the Song dynasty, the empresses and women liked to stick pearls on their faces. Huadian, Xiehong, and Mian Ye\u2019s positions did not change.<\/p>\n
