Influenced by Japanese and Korean aesthetics, I feel that in recent years, the handsome men in ancient costumes on TV screens have regressed a lot. They either have oily heads and A4 waists with pink faces, or they have artificial orchid fingers. It is really heartbreaking to see them.
Those idioms used to praise men in the past, such as "sword eyebrows and starry eyes", "fengshen handsome", "airy and majestic", "yushu facing the wind", "romantic and suave", etc., are now used on male stars. A few of them are consistent, which is really sad!
When it comes to handsome men in ancient costumes, I still remember my childhood aesthetic enlightenment. They were those male actors with rosy eyes and Chinese characters who were active in mainland film and television dramas in the 1980s and 1990s. Many of them, you It must look familiar, but you may not be able to pronounce the name.

In 1986, the popular CCTV version of "Journey to the West" was broadcast. This time Wang Bozhao played the role of White Dragon Horse, the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea.
In the episode "Sweeping the Tower to Discuss Strange Injustices", the white dragon horse transformed into a young man, went into the pond to find Princess Wan Sheng, and designed to deceive the Buddha treasure back.
Wearing a white shirt with a red collar and embroidered gold patterns, she is really handsome and clear. After looking at Wang Bozhao's little white dragon, I feel that Princess Wan Sheng is somewhat ungrateful. She doesn't want to leave such a handsome and noble third prince. If you insist on being with the Nine-Headed Insect, your vision is really bad.
2. Xu Shaohua
There are three versions of the Tang Monk in the 86 CCTV version of "Journey to the West", Wang Yue, Xu Shaohua and Chi Chongrui. Among these three different Tang Monks, the Qing Dynasty Monk Yue's favorite is Xu Shaohua's version.
It’s not that Wang Yue and Chi Chongrui are bad, but Xu Shaohua’s appearance fits the image of Tang Monk too well.
He was born with teeth as white as silver, red lips and square lips, plump eyes, regular facial features, young and smart, handsome and romantic, worthy of a graceful lady from the West Liang Dynasty. He is truly a handsome man.
Ever since the King of the Daughter Kingdom loudly called him "Brother Yudi" in the episode "Qu Jing Daughter's Kingdom", the image of Tang Seng, who was loved and angry but kind-hearted, has become It’s already deep in my heart.

This look at Sister You shows a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, which are both flirtatious and provocative when flirting with others. She smiles slightly, and there is a dimple on her right cheek, exuding a cunning and evil look.
Jia Lian was encouraged by Jia Rong to take Sister You as his second wife. He was riding on a horse with a white mourning scarf tied on his head. He had a peach-shaped face, red lips and white teeth. He was really a handsome young man from a wealthy family.
Although Jia Lian's character is not very pleasing, Gao Hongliang's handsome appearance is particularly outstanding.

Ouyang Fenqiang's version of Jia Baoyu has a pink baby face, a plump face and delicate facial features, especially a pair of big and bright eyes, which are very spiritual.
Because he has studied Sichuan Opera for a period of time and has operatic skills, every movement of Ouyang Fenqiang is smooth and natural, and his dignified manner also has a graceful and luxurious temperament.
He has an elegant demeanor and is just the right amount of handsome. His appearance is gentle but not girly. What’s even more rare is that when he and a group of girls are mischievous in a pile of makeup, he doesn’t feel obscene at all.

Although there are many actors who have played Zhou Yu, the one that impressed me most is the version performed by Hong Yuyu in the 1994 CCTV TV series "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
He has a slightly square face, upturned mouth corners, and bright eyes. When wearing a suit of armor, he looks majestic and graceful; when dressed casually, he is suave and elegant.
To use a poem written by the great writer Su Shi to describe it, it is "majestic and heroic, with feather fans and turbans, while talking and laughing, the boats and oars are turned into ashes."
Hong Yuzhou’s temperament is particularly outstanding. He is young and handsome, his conversation is elegant and magnanimous, his behavior is calm yet heroic, his actions reveal a strategic calmness and confidence, and his raised eyebrows reveal a smile on his face. The cold light is very majestic.

Because of his handsome and unrestrained prince image, 30-year-old Tang Guoqiang gained many fans. However, at the time, he was also criticized for being too weak and unmanly in his performance, so he was nicknamed "Butterboy". It also became a hat that restricted the development of his acting career.
Until 1994, Tang Guoqiang performed in the CCTV version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a virtuous prime minister who "dedicated himself to death", thus officially bidding farewell to the "cream niche".
Zhuge Liang, who first appeared, had a mustache, a long gown with wide sleeves, and a feather fan in his hand. His eyes were clear, his demeanor was graceful, and he looked like a god.
Longzhong is right, he is still young, he knows three points of the world, he is sharp and high-spirited.
