What does Fei Tong mean?

"Flying pupil" is an artistic term that refers to an effect in photography. Usually used to describe the edge of an object illuminated by light, showing a red or orange halo effect. This effect can create a mysterious and romantic feeling, which is common in portrait photography, landscape photography, sunset description and other scenes.

Besides photography, Tong Fei is often mentioned in literary works. For example, the characters in Haruki Murakami's works are often described as red-eyed, mysterious, noble and even different from ordinary people. Therefore, "Fei Tong" has also been endowed with many symbolic meanings in literature.

In Japanese traditional culture, Tong Fei is also considered as a symbol of beauty. Historically, the samurai class in Japan paid great attention to training their eyes and observing six ways, and thought that red-eyed warriors were braver, more decisive and more noble. With the passage of time, this concept has gradually evolved into a popular makeup trend. People highlight the effect of eye swelling through cosmetics to create an elegant, fashionable and moving image.
