At this time, some people will say that the early Tang Dynasty does not represent the aesthetic concept of the Tang Dynasty. Let's take a look at how the whole Tang Dynasty viewed the concept of beauty.
Li Tang is considered as one of the most powerful dynasties in ancient China. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a special concept that being fat was beauty, which led to the mantra of many fat girls now: If I cross into the Tang Dynasty, I must be a beautiful girl. Are the beauties in the Tang Dynasty really fat?
In fact, it was difficult to produce food in ancient times, and the proportion of obese people was much lower than now. Even in the unearthed cultural relics, it is difficult to find fat people.
Generally, among the unearthed cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty, the image of fat man is relatively rare. Over the years, there are many statues of people among the unearthed cultural relics, including soldiers, ladies and officials. These characters are all middle class in Tang society. In these statues, most men are thin and fat, and even their bellies are hard to see. Women are fuller, slimmer and more elegant.
But did the Tang people really regard obesity as beauty? As can be seen from Dunhuang murals, in the Tang Dynasty, there were still very few people with bloated bodies.
For example, Shaanxi Museum has several statues of women in the Tang Dynasty. There are three works on display at the same time, one of which is a tall lady with a slim figure and a plump face, while the other two painted statues next to her are not full of faces. It can be seen that most of the statues unearthed in the Tang Dynasty are slender. Even a fat woman who is called a beauty is only plump in face and not fat in figure at most.
When Li Yuangang founded the Tang Dynasty, beauty was regarded as the beauty of normal body, not the beauty of obese body. With the economic development and communication with neighboring countries at that time, people became more comfortable and fatter, but at that time, obesity was still not beautiful.
The real weight of Yang Yuhuan was in the Xuanzong era, because Yang Yuhuan, a beautiful woman, was very fat and good at singing and dancing, and was loved by the emperor. Everyone said that she was favored by obesity. Since then, there has been a full aesthetic upsurge in the Tang Dynasty.
From the unique aesthetic point of view of the Tang Dynasty, what is the correct concept advocated by the Tang Dynasty? Fat? Our idea is not just that women are full. Most importantly, this aesthetic orientation is actually a more inclusive aesthetic concept, showing a strong, open and compatible cultural vision. In contrast, Yang Yuhuan's height and weight are not too fat, just a little fat. Otherwise, Li Bai wouldn't praise her? Is it spring breeze and revlon? Yes
Besides, Yang Yuhuan was a famous dancer and musician in the Tang Dynasty, who was good at singing and dancing. Among them, Hu Xuan dance is Yang Yuhuan's most proficient dance. This dance is very special. You need to put on long clothes and then spin around the hall. If Yang Yuhuan is fat, how can she dance and even attract the appreciation of the emperor?
Later, some experts who studied the history of the Tang Dynasty, through some unearthed cultural relics, roughly judged that Yang Yuhuan was between 1.6 and 1.65 meters long and weighed about 120 Jin. According to this ratio, we can only say that Yang Yuhuan is plump and completely out of touch with obesity.
Yang Yuhuan is Yang Yuhuan, a court musician and dancer, and one of the four beauties in ancient times. During the Anshi Rebellion, she was forced to hang herself at the age of 38 under the pressure of mutiny. A woman with it? An Shi rebellion? His sin ended his life in a beautiful pear tree, while Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and men in droves continued to escape. This is history, and this is also the sadness and sorrow that Yang met such a group of men. How can a fragile woman carry the whole land of Datang with her small shoulders? In Yang Yuhuan's short history, perhaps we can find its root.
Yang Yuhuan, whose ancestral home is Yongle, was born in the seventh year of Kaiyuan in Tang Dynasty (7 19) and his father was Yang Xuanyan. When Yang Yuhuan/Kloc-0 was 0/0 years old, her father was framed and died. Yang Yuhuan was later placed in the home of her uncle Hsuan Yang, while Yang Yuhuan grew up in Luoyang. Because of her talent, she is also famous in Luoyang.
At the age of sixteen, Yang Yuhuan was lucky enough to know Princess Cheng Yi, the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and indirectly knew Li Mao, the younger brother of Cheng Yi. In that year1February, she was accepted as Li Mao's concubine and became the daughter-in-law of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
Yang Yuhuan and Li Mao lived for more than three years, that is, when she was nineteen years old, she was attracted by Li Mao's father, Tang Xuanzong, and ordered Yang Yuhuan to enter the Taoist temple, and then Yang Yuhuan to return to the secular world. At this time, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty seems to have accepted his daughter-in-law as his own woman, and Yang Yuhuan entered the palace without a clear identity.
In this way, former daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan and former father-in-law Xuanzong were married in the palace and lived for five years. It was not until Yang Yuhuan was 27 years old that she was officially awarded the title of Imperial concubine, which was favored by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that the conferring of Yang Yuhuan as a concubine by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty still encountered many obstacles, which was a lot of trouble.
After another year or two, Princess Yang was twice expelled from the palace by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty for competing with other concubines. However, Yang Yuhuan was quickly recalled. From the separation of Yang Yuhuan and Tang Xuanzong? Distance? In fact, it strengthens the feelings of two people, so if you don't fight or make trouble, where does the feelings come from?
Yang Yuhuan and Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty were separated several times and reunited several times, and their feelings can be said to be quite deep. However, not long after this sweet day, An Lushan launched a rebellion, namely the Anshi Rebellion. Yang followed Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty into exile in Shu, passed through Mayi Post Station, and followed her soldiers to attack, which finally made Yang's weak shoulders bear the sin of Anshi Rebellion.
Yang Yuhuan entered the palace as a daughter-in-law at the age of nineteen. She lived with her father-in-law Tang Xuanzong for five years. In the remaining 1 1 year, it can be said that Yang Guifei's position in this period is not stable.
Yang He is a distant relative. When he was in favor, Yang, who was 20 years older than himself, was still in the position of governor. At that time, the brother and sister had no correspondence. Later, our correspondent in Bo didn't know where they learned about this relationship. So he promoted Yang as an interview envoy, and then used the gold and silver of the imperial court to buy local rare specialties and send them to the palace.
Princess Yang must put in a good word in front of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and let Yang work for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. However, the reason why Yang got along well with Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was not only because of the little things he sent, but because they shared a common hobby? Pupu? . This game was very popular at that time. Besides, Yang was born as a punk. He is eloquent and good at reading people's faces. He was first appointed as Cao Junjun, Wu Bing, A Jin, and almost had the right to enter and leave the palace freely. He could also play with Xuanzong when he was free.
I admire Yang very much because he is smart and capable. He was soon promoted to censor and an extra member of the school. In less than a year, Yang experienced 15 jobs. Yang Xiang Xuanzong suggested that grain and cloth in all counties should be sold in the form of money, and land rent and local tax should also be sold in the form of money or cloth and sent to Beijing to enrich the national treasury.
The following year, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty called court officials to inspect the national treasury. When he saw coins and goods piling up like mountains, he was very happy and ordered Yang to manage the important affairs and finances of the court.
Yang was originally named Yang Zhao. It was then that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty thought he was a rare talent and gave him a name? Guo Zhong? . 165438+752 10. After Li's death, Yang became the prime minister, and at the same time held more than 40 positions, with great power in the court and the people. Yang relied on the support of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty to give orders to officials below or above. Officials are afraid of him, but many people are against him.
Yang has no ambition, but it is an obvious fact that Yang Guifei's rise is related to her hobbies. There are many Joan-style officials who are good at officialdom operation. For the Yang family who married the princess and married the princess, this should be the icing on the cake. Yang Guifei's distant cousin was promoted to prime minister by her own strength from beginning to end. The other is An Lushan, a master of intrigue. He admitted that Yang Yuhuan was his mother and used Yang Yuhuan, which is not difficult to guess.
The root cause of Yang Guifei's death was the outbreak of Anshi Rebellion and the infighting between Yang and the imperial court. Yang's fault is that she didn't make full use of her beauty, let her do what she should do and work hard for the development of the country instead of indulging in beauty. As a result, after the incident, Emperor Xuanzong led the Prince and Yang Guifei to flee to the south. At that time, all the complaints were focused on the beautiful woman Yang. Beside a pear tree full of white flowers in front of Mayiyi Buddhist Temple, a pile of loess buried this beautiful woman.
