Is the Tang Dynasty's "Fat is Beauty" really worth crossing? The historical fact is this.
Recently, the hit drama "The Longest Day in Chang 'an" exposed Lulu played by Yang Guifei, causing controversy among netizens:

The real reason why netizens spit out is that the style of Yang Guifei played by Lulu in the play is far from the image of netizens.

The appearance of Lulu version, although the makeup and modeling really restored history. But the biggest gap is that Xu Lu is too thin! Some netizens even use "dryness" to describe it. Although this word is excessive, it actually reflects the image of "Yang Guifei" in history: plump!

In order to discuss Yang Guifei, the most suitable beauty in Fengqi, the netizen gave the highest score: 1992 TV series "Tang".

Yang Guifei, played by Lin Fangbing, has a silvery face, bright eyes and white teeth, and her skin is solidified. Every smile reveals the prosperous atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It is said that after losing weight, Lin Fangbing ate hard for this TV series and gained weight so hard that she gained dozens of pounds to create this classic image.

Yang Guifei, the first "beauty fat" in the Tang Dynasty, took the lead in fixing it in the eyes of people in the Tang Dynasty at that time. Therefore, the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty seems to be qualitative: "Fat is beauty".

It is said that the most popular crossing dynasty ranks first in the Tang Dynasty. The reason is not only unprecedented economic and social prosperity, but also no internal and external troubles. More importantly, everyone thinks that the Tang Dynasty was beautiful because it was fat! In the case that modern girls are gaining weight day by day and are trying to lose weight, it is so attractive. When they return to the Tang Dynasty, they can be beautiful women aboveboard.

The question is, is the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty really that unique?

You know, emperors of all ages like thin women.

From the records of China's traditional culture, it is not difficult to see the aesthetics of the ancient aristocratic class with the right to speak. It can be summed up in four words: young, exquisite, light and white.

In the pre-Qin era, the king of Chu had a thin waist; Zhao Yanfei, as light as a swan in the Han Dynasty, is synonymous with beauty. The favorite concubine of the bad king in the Northern and Southern Dynasties can "give birth to lotus step by step"; Among the four beauties, except Yang Guifei, they are graceful and unfortunate stunners.

How did the Tang Dynasty come about, and the aesthetic style of painting suddenly changed? Whether it is our cognitive error or historical error, let's appreciate the beauty of the Tang Dynasty.

The image of "Fat Beauty" in Tang Dynasty mainly comes from scrolls and pottery figurines.

Modern people's understanding of the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty is largely attributed to the paintings of the Tang Dynasty and the pottery figurines unearthed in later generations. Let's take a look at some famous paintings in the Tang Dynasty.

In these two pictures, the ladies of the Tang Dynasty are plump, lazy, round and even have double chins.

Judging from the pottery figurines unearthed in the Tang Dynasty, the image of "fat beauty" is more intuitive. Now, it is appropriate to belong to the type needed for weight loss.

But not all the beauties in Tang Dynasty paintings are like this. For example, in the Travel Notes of Mrs. Song in the late Tang Dynasty, both female guards and male guards are relatively normal figures with light and healthy bodies.

.

Yan, a painter in the early Tang Dynasty, painted a "Walking Map". The ladies-in-waiting walking in the painting can see that they are all slim and beautiful, which is quite in line with the aesthetics of modern people.

Judging from these paintings of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that the definition of beauty in the Tang Dynasty is not "fat".

It can only be said that in a certain historical period, the national strength was unprecedented, the economy, society and culture flourished, and the temperament of the ruling class also affected culture and aesthetics to a certain extent. For example, at this time, the sports that nobles often do are riding horses and playing polo. Exercise immediately is obviously not suitable for handsome beauty, and a plump and strong figure will become a fashion.

Although the Tang people held a positive attitude towards beauty, it did not affect the pursuit of thin beauty at all.

For example, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty worshiped Yang Guifei very much. He never had only one concubine, that is, Yang Yuhuan, and there were many slim beauties in the harem concubines. According to historical records, he asked his son's beauty contest: "Five women who choose human slender white will win the prince." The standard of this beauty page is clear: slim, tall and white.

Another example is Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, who once lived in the punishments department. What kind of beauty does he like? There is a poem to prove it: the cherry blossom fan locks the mouth, and the willow tree is a little Yao Man. Look, she's still a thin beauty.

According to the research of the research group, even if it is called "Huan Fei", the real "Yang Guifei" is not particularly fat. "The Legend of Yang Taizhen" said that she was "slightly muscular" and at most slightly fat. Neon Feather Dance is Yang Yuhuan's masterpiece. If you think of a good dancer, you won't be too fat. How else can you dance?

Therefore, the real aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty is still very normal. There are not many plump beautiful women, and they don't hide their gentle and graceful yearning for me. Fat friends, want to dream back to Datang? Wake up!
