Why can Yang Guifei make Tang Xuanzong unforgettable, despite her plump body?
This is a kind of information commonly circulated on the Internet, but I don't know that these materials, "Old Tang Book", "New Tang Book", "Zizhi Tongjian", as well as Wang Zhongju's "History of the Five Dynasties of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", Mr. Cen Zhongmian's "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", etc., do not write about Yang Guifei's fat and thin problem. It is said that the earliest record of Yang Guifei's fat and thin was a volume of Wang Renyu's ** "Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy" during the Five Dynasties, but even he did not mention his height and weight in such detail, I don't know where these materials came from.
Yang Guifei should be fat, not slightly fat.
If Yang Guifei is really less than one meter six tall and weighs more than one hundred and sixty pounds, she is undoubtedly a big fat person. As the saying goes"Fat ruins everything", even if he is outstanding, he is not good-looking. Although the people of the Tang Dynasty admired fat as beauty, they did not know that the crown prince and the emperor had completely reversed beauty and ugliness one after another.
In the historical records of Yang Guifei, "Old Tang Book"."Or play the Xuan Yan Zi crown dress. "。Xuanzong was lucky...Taizhen's style is rich and colorful, good at singing and dancing, Tongyin rhythm, and there are many wise people. Every look is catered to, in line with the purpose"。The New Tang Dynasty Book reads"The state of tranquility ,..Good at singing and dancing, deep understanding of the rhythm of music, and wisdom of Yingying, in order to welcome the enlightenment"。
Therefore, it is certain that Yang Guifei can sing and dance, and Yang Guifei riding a horse also has a good historical record. She is less than 1 tall6 meters, weighing 160 kg, is clearly not a fat person. From this point of view, Yang Guifei is not too fat, at best a little charming.
Why is the emperor so obsessed with Yang Guifei?
I think the reason why Yang Guifei made Li Longji so memorable is as follows:
1.It looks very beautiful. There is no doubt about that. We can't know how beautiful it is, but after looking at Shouwang Li Mao and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, it is not difficult to come to such a conclusion. In the twenty-second year of Kaiyuan (734), Shouwang Li Mao met Yang Yuhuan at the wedding of Princess Xianyi, the daughter of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and fell in love at first sight, and was accepted as Princess Shou in the same year. In the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan (737), after the death of Li Mao's mother, Concubine Wu Hui, Tang Xuanzong was very dissatisfied. It is said that Yang Yuhuan"Tianzi and the country, it is suitable to fill the palace room", Tang Xuanzong"He was called into the inner sanctum"。She can make Tang Xuanzong's son fall in love at first sight, but Tang Xuanzong disregarded ethics and got rid of the duchess's hands, which shows that she is not a beauty.
2.Smart and delicate. There are clouds in the old Book of Tang"Outwitted", it can be seen that Yang Guifei is a very smart woman. We can see that she was taken back to her mother's house twice in July, in the fifth year of Tempo (746)."Jealousy and humility", in the ninth year of Tempo (750) because"Resentment", still being taken back to his favorite palace. Although this situation is related to Li Longji's slander, it is also inseparable from Yang Yuhuan's intelligence.
3. Good at maintenance. Yang Yuhuan is well-known for being good at maintenance, not only abandoning the light makeup of the Tang Dynasty's rich and compelling, lead and mercury beauties, and catwalk moles, but also paying attention to maintenance on weekdays, and it is not surprising that various beauty secrets are not modified, and they are better at maintenance.
