In history, Yang Guifei didn't accurately record her height and weight, but the rumors about her fatness are speculations of later generations. According to historical records, some scholars infer that the average height in the Tang Dynasty was 165cm, while the average weight was about 140. According to Tang Shi's records, people in the Tang Dynasty regarded fullness as beauty, while Yang Yuhuan was proficient in the art of "congealing fat and making flowers", so it can be seen that Yang Guifei is definitely not my fair lady now, and she may need a gym membership card today.
It is also worth mentioning that Yang Yuhuan has a very good habit. She often smiles at others. And it looks good when she smiles, so "she just turns her head and smiles, and there are hundreds of spells" is not groundless. This has something to do with her personality. According to legend, Yang Guifei was born laughing. Imagine that you have a beautiful woman chatting with you and watching you smile sweetly. You must be as happy as a spring breeze man, and when Tang Xuanzong was exhausted every day, he returned to such a gentle village and whispered to each other. How can he resist a lovely smile? I have to say, smiling still has a good lethality. If you are still single, try to smile at everyone.
Of course, in addition to the advantages of personality, the most important thing is to look at talent. There are not a few beautiful women in the Tang Dynasty, and there are talented women who write poems and sing everywhere. Yang Guifei is one of them, but the difference is that she is the one with the highest talent. The legendary "Dance of Dressing and Feathering" was created by Yang Guifei, and it is clearly recorded in the history books that Yang Guifei is proficient in Hu Xuan dance. Hu Xuan dance was spread to the Tang Dynasty by ethnic minorities, wearing long skirts and exquisite ornaments, and the sleeves were very long compared with the wide sleeves in Wei and Jin Dynasties. When dancing, the flying sleeves shake with snow. Imagine Yang Guifei waving her sleeves lightly in the palace, like floating clouds in the sky, peeping through the long sleeves of a rotating long skirt. She just looks at you, with a gorgeous face like a blooming peony, smiling back and charming.
Don't look at the beauty of the painting As you can imagine, this specialty made her maintain a beautiful and feminine figure for a long time, and therefore became the first dancer in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. A "clothing and feather dance" is the best in ancient and modern times plus the wisdom of not asking about political affairs. It is no accident that the combination of talent and smile was remembered by that era and became the symbol of that era.
