东方人怕皱纹，说它显老。人们评价女人脸蛋的标准之一是皱纹的多少：“瞧她脸上光嫩嫩的，一点皱纹也没有。”“五官长得挺端正的，就是皱纹多了点。”东方女人不敢张大嘴笑，因为笑会增加嘴角和眼角的皱纹。为了东方女人的美丽，市场上便有了众多品种的抗皱营养霜。 |

东方人说西方女人显老，因为她们的皮肤比较粗，皱纹似乎很早就长了出来。明星美女脸上也很少有光滑的。在西方，人们对美人脸的欣赏是轮廓，赞美皱纹的语言也很动听：“她嘴角上的笑纹多么迷人，眼角两边的皱纹笑得多么灿烂。” |

皱纹，它是岁月留给每个人的生活痕迹，它是成熟的人拥有的财富。如果你仔细观察就会发现，没有一个人的皱纹和别人是相像的，它像一朵花，它像一幅画，深深地印刻上每个人的脸上。 |

皱纹，是藏不住的历史。能够欣赏皱纹，实在是一种福气。只有面对自己所爱的人，你才会捧起他或她的脸，用手、用嘴、用心，去抚摸生长在嘴和眼边缘上的条纹，你知道，在每一条褶皱里，都有一段生动的故事，爱，你才会想读懂他或她。 |

学会欣赏皱纹,便是学会热爱生活,享受生活带给我们的幸福。 |

The oriental people do not like wrinkles, regarding them as a symptom of old age1. It’s also thought to be one of the criteria by which a woman’s appearance is judged, for example such remarks as “Look, how smooth and radiant her face is, without a trace of a wrinkle.” “She has regular features, which would be better with less wrinkles.” The oriental women usually refrain from grinning broadly, as it will show increased wrinkles2 around her mouth and eyes. For the sake of oriental beauty3, various anti-wrinkle skin toners are available on the market. |

From the oriental point of view, Western women often look more advanced in years than they really are because of their rougher skin showing premature wrinkles4. Even a beautiful actress’s face is found lacking in shining smooth-ness. In the West, people enjoy the contour of a beauty’s face. They even adore her wrinkles by saying: “How charming the creases at the corners of her mouth when she’s smiling, and how brilliant the wrinkles around her eyes5!” |

Wrinkles are tracks of life by time, representing a mature person’s riches6. Upon scrutiny they reveal different patterns on different people, like a flower or a picture deeply imprinted on the face. |

Wrinkles are also history laid bare. It is a person’s luck to be able to appreciate them. When cupping the chin of the beloved7, you read the mind by touching the folds and the lines around the mouth and the eyes, for each of them tells a story. You do it with affection and the fullness of the heart as well as with fingers and lips8. |

Learn to appreciate wrinkles and you will be filled with love for life. You will also feel happy about all that your life have brought to you. |
