Did the Tang Dynasty really regard fat as beauty?Yang Guifei's real weight**, which made the girl cry and laugh.
Since ancient times, Yang Yuhuan is its representative. His eyes were as clear as spring water, his lips were red as fire, and his flour was like mist. He has had ** talent since he was a child, especially likes to play the pipa. Yang Guifei's family was wealthy, so she was able to receive the best ** and art education, and won the love of many sons with her handsome appearance and extraordinary talent when she was young.
At the age of fifteen, her beauty reached its peak and she met Shouwang, who would later become her husband. Yang Yuhuan's beauty and talent impressed Tang Xuanzong, who finally decreed that Yang Yuhuan should be canonized as King Shou's concubine.
However, when Yang Yuhuan was 18 years old, a sudden bad news shattered his peaceful life. Tang Xuanzong invited the best doctors in the world to treat Yang Yuhuan, but to no avail. Tang Xuanzong was furious and ordered a group of doctors to be executed, and from then on, no doctor in the palace dared to treat his wife, Concubine Wu Hui. Soon, Concubine Wu Hui died, Tang Xuanzong lost his family, he was discouraged, indulging in wine every day, and the government and him had nothing to do.
At this time, Gao Lishi saw the source of Tang Xuanzong's illness and suggested that Tang Xuanzong take Yang Yuhuan to borrow wine to drown his sorrows. Tang Xuanzong accepted Gao Lishi's suggestion and ordered Yang Yuhuan to enter the palace to meet him. When Tang Xuanzong saw Yang Yuhuan, his eyes lit up and he was pleasantly surprised.
From then on, Yang Yuhuan replaced his wife Wu Hui in Tang Xuanzong's heart and began her court life. It is still a question whether her court life will be as smooth as her beauty, and what kind of wind and rain she will face.
Yang Yuhuan, a talented girl from a wealthy family, was 18 years old, in the spring of youth, with a moderate figure, not thin or fat, and was a treasure in the eyes and heart of Tang Xuanzong. However, when she became the wife of King Shou, no matter how much Tang Xuanzong missed her, he could not include her in the harem, and etiquette and dignity did not allow him to do so.
However, when Yang Yuhuan reached the age of 21, Tang Xuanzong could no longer suppress his desire to include her in the palace, so he arranged for Yang Yuhuan to take place"A widow adopts a son"He became a Taoist priest in the name of a monk. Five years later, Yang Yuhuan became a noble concubine, and her status was equal to that of the queen. In 744, Yang Yuhuan received a special favor from the emperor, and spent his days arguing, drinking, and laughing with Tang Xuanzong in the garden.
At a festive banquet, Tang Xuanzong invited Yang Guifei to enjoy the sea of flowers together. During the banquet, they sang and danced, and Tang Xuanzong suddenly thought of using a new song to describe the beautiful scenery in front of him. Colliers hurriedly called Li Bai, hoping that he could improvise a new song. Li Bai readily agreed, and after a few minutes of thinking, he wrote this song "Qingping Tune" that has been passed down for thousands of years.
This tune is not only used"Clouds want clothes, flowers want to look"described Yang Yuhuan's peerless appearance, and it was also used"The spring breeze blows Revlon"praised Yang Yuhuan's beauty. Since Yang Yuhuan entered the palace, countless poets have written poems for her to express their praise and amazement for her. Even Tang Xuanzong personally composed dance music for her, so you can imagine how influential Yang Yuhuan was in the Tang Dynasty.
However, when it comes to Tang Xuanzong, many people will be distressed by his **. Because he is the king of a country, he forgets about national affairs in order to please a woman. However, Tang Xuanzong was not only a king trapped by love, but also a great monarch of the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as Yang Yuhuan entered the palace, he was immersed in the harem of brocade clothes and jade food, and gave up the idea of interfering in court politics. In order to please this beloved beauty, Tang Xuanzong did not hesitate to reuse the traitorous ministers and ** among the generals of the Yang family, so that the court was loyal and treacherous, and people's hearts were floating. However, his enthusiasm for Yang Yuhuan did not wane, but he sang and laughed with her in the harem every day, and drank and talked happily.
Yang Yuhuan is a resourceful woman who knows how to win the emperor's heart. With her talents and skills, she was able to create a new dance every few days for Tang Xuanzong to enjoy. Tang Xuanzong, the Ming monarch who once led the Tang Dynasty to its peak, has now become an ignorant monarch who will only succumb to women. This was the cause of the Anshi Rebellion.
In 755 AD, the Anshi Rebellion shook the imperial palace of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It was triggered by the stupidity and ignorance of Tang Xuanzong. A year later, Tang Xuanzong was forced to flee to Maweipo with Yang Yuhuan. There, Yang Yuhuan was wanted by a lieutenant general on charges of homicide. Tang Xuanzong had no choice but to order Yang Yuhuan to commit suicide. In this way, the world-famous Yang Yuhuan died young at the age of 38.
Yang Yuhuan's body remains a mystery to this day. Tang accounts of Yang Yuhuan's death are mixed, but when Tang Xuanzong returned to China after quelling the rebellion in 757, Yang's remains were missing. Tang Xuanzong was very sad and finally had to build a tomb for Yang Yuhuan.
The tomb of Yang Yuhuan is located in today's Xianyang City, and the tomb is well preserved. Modern archaeologists have found a large number of murals of Tang Dynasty women in the tombs, and each of them is beautiful. From the painting, we can see that these handsome women are gorgeously dressed, dignified and lively. Although they are all dressed in thick clothes, we can still see that they are plump and not fat. Such a figure is called in modern times"Slightly chubby"It can be seen that the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty are almost the same as those of modern people.
Yang Yuhuan is known for his superb dancing skills, which shows that he is not as fat as we think. Dancers must have a certain level of physical fitness, physical coordination, and flexibility, which cannot coexist harmoniously with extreme obesity.
This is also evidenced by artifacts found by archaeologists in his tomb. By examining the clothes in the burial goods, the experts found that Yang Yuhuan was about 167 meters and a weight between 125 and 135 kilograms. Yang Yuhuan is mildly obese, but her dancing skills and beauty undoubtedly make her ancient and modern"Goddess"This may disappoint those who imagine the beauty of the Tang Dynasty as fat.
With the rapid development of modern technology, people's living standards are constantly improving, but at the same time, many nutrition-related health problems have emerged. Eating too much causes many people to lose their shape. A lot of people go crazy**, even at the expense of their health. Still others pay lip service to themselves.
Yang Yuhuan's lifestyle is worth learning from. Yang Yuhuan was a long-time favored concubine in the palace and could still build at the age of 30"The six palaces have no color"of the palace. Yang Yuhuan's figure has always been well maintained, which not only benefits from the king's favor, but also proves that she is a very intelligent and self-controlled woman. Not only can she control her posture, but she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is why the emperor has always favored her. For such a woman, we need not say much about her inner humility and outer magnificence. Of course, as long as we learn to control ourselves and improve ourselves, we can go further.
