Tips

culture

One of the classical eye-shape names used in Chinese physiognomy (面相) and beauty content, alongside 丹凤眼 (phoenix eyes), 桃花眼 (peach-blossom eyes), 杏眼 (almond eyes), 柳叶眼 (willow-leaf eyes). Not always flattering — in traditional 面相 it can carry an impression of sharpness or ruthlessness.
