　　What Is Beauty?

　　Like Margaret once said in the 19th century, there was no consistent view on beauty. Standards and ideas of beauty changes across time.

　　Nowadays, some costumes and actions once regard as beauty in 19th－century Europe are not considered healthy or attractive, while something now regarded as fashion had different functions in the past.

　　There is physical beauty as well as inner beauty. The later is found in a wide range of personal qualities. It is inner beauty which requires us to truly see. Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder.
