Ugly is a word that is often used in our daily life to describe people who are not good-looking or have a bad image. However, did you know that the word ugly was originally **Yu**?
The origin of the term ugly can be traced back to ancient Chinese theatrical culture. In traditional Chinese drama, harlequins are a very important type of character, and they are usually portrayed as characters with funny images and funny behaviors. These harlequins are often given some distinct features like big noses, big mouths, short stature, and many more to accentuate their ugly image.
The term "Eight Monsters" also has a special meaning in Chinese culture, and it is often used to describe something different and unconventional. Therefore, when these harlequins are described as "ugly", it means that they are weird, different, and even a little scary.
However, over time, the meaning of the term "ugly" has gradually changed. It is no longer just used to describe harlequins, but is widely used to describe people who have a poor image or an unattractive appearance. At the same time, the term "ugly" also has a certain derogatory and discriminatory connotation, so in modern society, we should try to avoid using this word to describe others.
In short, the origin of the term "ugly eight monsters" can be traced back to ancient Chinese theater culture, and it was originally used to describe those harlequins with funny images and funny behaviors. However, with the changes in society and people's attitudes, the meaning of the word "ugly" has also changed, and we should respect everyone's appearance and image, and avoid using discriminatory language to hurt the self-esteem of others.
