Did the Tang Dynasty really "take fat as beauty"?

As we all know, in the long history of thousands of years in China, many dynasties were born, including some very powerful dynasties, such as the familiar Tang Dynasty, which is the most unforgettable one. Because that dynasty was the most open era in China, not only the ideology and culture were open, but also the people were open, so many things would be tolerated and understood. In addition, the social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was recognized and praised by many scholars. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, "Fat is beautiful" is a seemingly advanced thing.

Usually, obesity does not give people a good feeling, but it became a form of beauty in the Tang Dynasty. From the nobles in the palace to the common people, it is because of obesity. For example, Yang Guifei, who was the most popular in that year, was rumored to be rich and round, and was favored by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. But in fact, did the Tang Dynasty really "take fat as beauty"? We know that Yang Guifei, who can be called one of the four ancient beauties, is definitely not low in value. In addition, Yang Guifei can sing and dance and play the piano. Think about this. If she just turned her head and smiled, she must have been the prey of many men at that time. However, when Yang Guifei's real figure was exposed, it was discovered that we were all cheated.

According to some records in unofficial history, we can find that Yang Yuhuan's actual weight is about 55 kg to 69 kg, and his height is 1.7 meters. This height and weight are not fat now. After all, his head is there, at most it is a little fleshy, or just the kind of fat, so it is also in line with our modern aesthetics. In addition, we can also prove Yang Guifei's figure from another aspect, that is, self-portrait. Since ancient times, there have been many selfies of Yang Guifei, most of which are extremely normal, but a little fat. Moreover, Yang Guifei can be so favored. Her lewdness and natural beauty are just one of many factors, and the main reason is Yang Guifei's personality charm and talent.

As we know, Yang Guifei has learned a lot of talents such as singing and dancing, mastering melody and playing pipa since she was a child, and she has a certain cultural accomplishment. Coupled with her natural beauty, her temperament is naturally good. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to see that the so-called beauty of fat in the Tang Dynasty is actually not as fat as everyone imagined, but a misunderstanding of modern people. Coupled with some people's wanton exaggeration, many people mistakenly think that the Tang Dynasty was a dynasty with beauty of being fat, which shows that Yang Guifei was born with beauty, which also reflects that Yang Guifei is not as fat as recorded in some history books, but a kind of "plump beauty" or "nourishing beauty".

First of all, we all know that in the Tang Dynasty, especially in its heyday, the power of the state was very strong, because there was no major war at that time and the traditional market economy was relatively developed at that time. Therefore, the people's life is very comfortable, and many ideas are more open than other dynasties, so they are "broad-minded and obese." Secondly, in the Tang Dynasty, obesity was the beauty. Plumpness represented not obesity but health, and plumpness was by no means equal to obesity. Take Li Guoer, the first beauty in the Tang Dynasty, as an example. She is about one meter tall and weighs about 58kg. She is not obese at all, but slightly fat at most. Therefore, Yang Guifei and Li Guoer are both representatives of beautiful women in the Tang Dynasty. They are not as fat as people think, but slightly fat temperament beauty.

Even the famous poet Du Fu once praised Yang Guifei in this way, saying that she was "open-minded, detached, sweet-mannered, sincere, soft-skinned and fine-boned", which was enough to show that Yang Guifei's real figure was very symmetrical, and the emperor liked her not only for her figure, but also for her extraordinary temperament and brilliant talent. So after reading it, those happy little fat people who weigh 200 pounds haven't decided to lose weight? Even if you are "dreaming back to Datang", no one dares to ask for it!
