The chinese character for MEI (Beauty) defines beauty in a surprising way.
It combines an ancient pictograph, the head of a horned sheep, with the
character of a person with arms outstretched. In the Chinese tradition,
the sheep is considered the gentlest and most harmonious of animals.
It strives for nothing, and its needs are modest. The character for beauty
suggests that people who bear themselves without conceitedness, going gently
through life like a sheep and never striving against the order of things,
are truly beautiful.
