摘　　要：学界一般认为起于南北朝的"脸"原本指妇女搽胭脂的"两颊的上部"。其实不然。"脸"最初所指为脸颊,并不限于"两颊的上部";"脸"自中古产生以来,在使用上本无性别之分,虽多用于女子,但也可用于男子。＂Lian＂（ 脸）, a character created in the Northern and Southern Dynasties（420-589）, is generally regarded as a word used only to describe rouged female upper cheek in the Middle Ancient Times. But it is not the true story. ＂Lian＂（脸） meant cheek originally, and its sphere was wider than rouged upper part of cheek believed by many scholars. The author will furnish several proofs to the fact that ＂Lian＂（脸） was used to describe cheek of human in the Middle Ancient Times, without sexual distinction.
