In the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan, he was about 10 years old and was fostered in his uncle's home.
Yang Yuhuan's natural beauty and superior educational environment make her have a certain cultural accomplishment, graceful personality, proficient in temperament, good at singing and dancing, and good at playing the pipa. In Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow, there is such a description: God-given grace, undisguised, was finally elected to the royal family one day.
In July of the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Princess Xianyi, the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, held a wedding in Luoyang, and Yang Yuhuan was also invited to attend. Li Mao, the younger brother of Princess Xianyi, fell in love with Yang Yuhuan at first sight. At the request of Wu Huifei, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wrote a letter asking her to be the shroud princess of that year. After marriage, the two are extremely sweet.
Wu Huifei died in the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737). Li Mao's mother, Wu Huifei, was the favorite concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and she was treated as a queen in the palace. Xuanzong was unhappy for this. At that time, the harem Qian Qian was absolutely meaningless. Some people suggested that "all manners should fill the courtyard", and Xuanzong called Yang into the harem? .
In October of the 28th year of Kaiyuan (740), in the name of Dou Taihou, the mother of Xuanzong, Yang wrote to become a monk? The number of roads is too real.
In the fourth year of Tianbao (745), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty made Wei's daughter longevity a princess, and then became a noble lady. Since Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty abolished the king and queen, Yang Guifei is equivalent to the queen.
According to unofficial history's research, Yang Guifei's height1.64m and weight138kg. Some people say that Yang Guifei is 1.55m in height and 120kg in weight. However, how fat Yang Guifei is has not been verified so far, and only a trace can be found in poems, paintings, sculptures, pottery figurines and various works of art in the Tang Dynasty. For example, the "The Bath of the Imperial Lady" painted by the Tang Dynasty left a spring scene for future generations.
In addition, the origin of the idiom "fat and thin" is also inextricably linked with Yang Guifei. The imperial concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was plump, while Zhao, the queen of Emperor Han Cheng, was thin. The fatness of these two famous beauties in history is used by Mr. Su Shi as a metaphor for the style of calligraphy works. According to Su Shi's poems "Sun Xin Begging for Ink" and "Miao Yan", "Ling Du's storytelling is expensive and thin, and this theory has not been proved by me. There are different ways to be short and fat. Who dares to hate Yuhuan's flying thin? " The beauty's chubby book and calligraphy are separated by 108 thousand miles, and it is really ingenious to be linked by Mr. Su Lao. Since then, this idiom has spread, but it has nothing to do with calligraphy. Back to the original meaning, it is about a woman's figure. In addition, Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Sorrow", although there is not much description of Yang Guifei's fatness, the phrase "cream crystal that warms and smoothes her skin" can make people realize Yang Guifei's fullness between the lines.
People in the Tang Dynasty were all "rich, rich and beautiful, and put on a warm posture". It is universally acknowledged that being fat is beauty. Yang Guifei, the first beauty in the Tang Dynasty, was plump. Zhou Fang's "The Picture of a Lady with Flowers" is called "the symbol of women in the Tang Dynasty", which also makes women in the Tang Dynasty magnificent and beautiful, like a blooming flower, vividly and fully lifting the eyes of countless people in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, not only women but also men were fat. An Lushan, Yang Guifei's adopted son, is one of them. According to the biography of An Lushan in the Old Tang Dynasty, "An Lushan was obese in his later years, with his abdomen hanging down to his knees and weighing 330 Jin ... until Xuanzong wrote Hu Xuanwu, he was as sick as the wind." It's incredible that Hu Xuan can dance as fast as the wind at 330 pounds. What is even more puzzling is: Why did the Tang people regard obesity as beauty? Why is the plump Yang Guifei so popular?
The Tang Dynasty was a wealthy dynasty. Du Fu wrote in a poem that "rice is fat and millet is white, and public and private granaries are rich". The country is rich and strong, and the people have plenty of food and clothing. Most people can put down their stomachs and drink spicy food. They have the external conditions of being strong and fat, and they have always maintained a healthy and plump physique.
