Fat is the beauty of the Tang Dynasty?
Since ancient times, women's pursuit of beauty has emerged endlessly, but the standards of beauty in each era are slightly different. For example, today's society is an era in which thinness is the beauty, and the Tang Dynasty is an era in which fatness is the beauty. This makes many people sigh, if you can be born in the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't you be a great beauty? But the truth is often not what you think. The beauty of fat in Tang dynasty is not that the fatter the more beautiful.
The Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly a peak in China's 5,000-year history, which is unmatched by many dynasties in both politics and economy. In such a living environment, people's living standards have naturally improved, and they no longer worry about not having enough to eat. After women are well-nourished, they naturally present a plump posture that only women have.
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to diplomacy, which enabled the Tang Dynasty to maintain good exchanges with western countries and promoted cultural exchanges between the two sides. Such a policy is not only beneficial to the country, but also to the people. The settlement of the Hu people in the Tang Dynasty enabled the Han people to have more exchanges with the Hu people, naturally broadened their horizons, made new progress in their thinking, and people's pursuit of beauty was no longer just thin.
According to historical records, in the Tang Dynasty, the criterion for evaluating a woman's beauty was fullness. The words plump and obese have similar meanings, but they are a little different. Obesity refers to a person's excessively unhealthy state, and fullness refers to a person's healthy body, although fat, just right. As one of the four beauties, Yang Yuhuan fell in love with Tang Xuanzong at first sight because of her plump figure and skin.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the symmetry of flesh and blood became popular in the Tang Dynasty.
That is, a beautiful woman of medium height. Yang Yuhuan's figure is "slim", which means very well-proportioned. Don likes it not because he is fat. Because talented people are good-looking and can sing and dance. In fact, in the late Tang Dynasty, people did not have enough to eat. At this time, the Tang Dynasty began to take thinness as beauty again.
In a word, in the works of different times in the Tang Dynasty, the figure of the characters is different, so it can't be judged that fat is the beauty in the Tang Dynasty. Yang Guifei is not so fat as well-proportioned and talented. Coupled with the historical period and living conditions of the Tang Dynasty at that time, it is not difficult to understand.
How fat is the real Yang Guifei?
As far as Yang Yuhuan's interest in dancing is concerned, modern dancers are slim and graceful. Yuhuan should be a healthy beauty with a low body fat rate. According to modern standards, a woman whose weight is 163- 165cm should weigh between 108- 120 kg.
And such a beautiful posture is definitely not linked to the word "fat". It can be seen that the beauty of obesity in the Tang Dynasty is by no means the kind of obese women with a particularly high body fat rate. We should not advocate skinny modern aesthetics, but pursue a healthy female posture.
