What exactly is Yang Guifei's body? Why do some people say she is fat, and some say she is plump? But if she is plump, why does she say that the Tang Dynasty was fat for beauty? Is that misleading?

The aesthetic appreciation of the people in the Tang Dynasty is different from that of the present
many people say that the Tang Dynasty regards fat as beauty. In fact, the standard of "fat" is different.
the Tang Dynasty pursues a healthy body. It is not good to be too fat, nor to be thin.
for modern people, Yang Guifei's body is indeed fat, but Tang Xuanzong does like the plump Yang Guifei.
this is a very famous portrait. Although it is not Yang Guifei, it is just a picture of a lady, She is also a beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty.
the height of the person concerned is not high, and Yang Guifei is 158
plumpness and obesity can be equally emphasized. Do you understand what fat is beauty
in fact, some countries still think that fat women are virtuous, but no one wants thin women
The first answer:
during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, grace, abundance, health and nature
grace, abundance, health and nature became the dominant criteria for beauty. The beauty of women's body is broad forehead, round face and fat body. Health was a beauty of women appreciated by people at that time. During this period, women's clothing was quite exposed, and there was a tendency of western modern "sexuality"
from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the beauty of women began to gain independent value, and was appreciated and cherished. Xun can once said that "women's virtue is not enough to be called, and color should be the mainstay". Inspired by this declaration of virtue independence, women began to pursue beauty consciously. Most of the women in this period wore wide sleeved short skirts and long skirts. The waist is wrapped around the waist and decorated with clothes. At that time, it was also popular to wear flower hairpins and "step rocking" on the head. In this way, the clothes are floating and the rings are jingling, which further emphasizes the gentle charm and graceful appearance of women. In terms of makeup, the most popular is to put a red or yellow "flower" on the forehead for decoration. The "flower" has different shapes, mainly in the shape of leaves or flowers. Hua Mulan returned home after joining the army. "When the window is decorated with clouds and temples, the mirror is decorated with yellow decals", which is the embodiment of this kind of decoration
the Sui and Tang Dynasties were the heyday of China's feudal society. The national strength was strong, the culture was prosperous, the opening up was open to the outside world, and the restrictions on women were relatively small. Therefore, the beauty of women also presented a magnificent scene. Women in the Tang Dynasty are beautiful with their plump body, high hair bun and flying silk. They are gorgeous and generous, which fully reflects the "prosperous Tang Dynasty" of women's beauty. Their dress is the most daring and sexy among Chinese women of all ages. This can be confirmed in the famous painting of the Tang Dynasty, the painting of beautiful women with hairpin flowers. The woman depicted in the picture has fluffy hair, big broken branches and flowers, and a hairpin to shake the hairpin. She is wearing a light gauze coat, and a light gauze painted silk. Her underwear is half exposed, and there are a large bunch of halo valerian flowers on her, and her arms are bare. This kind of sexy dress is unprecedented in ancient China
women in the Tang Dynasty were extremely free to wear, with wide sleeves and narrow sleeves, Chinese clothing and Hu clothing, women's clothing and men's clothing. Therefore, at that time, women were still dressed in Hufu, with lapels and narrow sleeves, belts around the waist, various metal ornaments, and striped narrow legged pants inside. In terms of makeup, women in the Tang Dynasty were popular to draw thick halo moth wing eyebrows. The high and rising eyebrows added more charm to women
the second answer:
the Tang Dynasty, which the Chinese people are proud of, is actually a great dynasty jointly created by the Xianbei and Han nationalities. It is a great crystallization of the prairie wolf character and the essence of the Chinese civilization, reaching the top of the ancient Chinese civilization. Just like "the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system", the Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui system. The Li Tang Dynasty inherited the strong Xianbei character of the Sui royal family, especially the female lineage of the Sui royal family. From the perspective of character and blood, the founding emperor and the early monarch of the Li Tang Dynasty were both the hybrid of the Hu Hua Han people and the Xianbei noble women. The biological mother, Empress and a daughter-in-law of Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, were all Xianbei people. This nation is fat
the Tang Dynasty "regards fat as beauty", which profoundly reflects the lineage and imprint of King Li Tang's Korean people. Only when we understand the Xianbei lineage of the Li Tang Dynasty can we understand it. When we associate it with life on the grassland, we can understand it all at once. When we first arrived at the grassland, we found that the Mongols regarded fat as beauty,. The vast majority of Mongolian women recognized as beauties by herdsmen in Erlun are plump women. Xianbei and Mongolian are two Mongolian grassland nomads with close relationship. The Xianbei people must have passed on the Wolf Totem and the aesthetic standard of "taking fat as beauty" to the Mongolian people. In fact, from ancient times to the present, nomadic people have taken fattening livestock as their occupation and "big sheep" as their beauty. Of course, in terms of national aesthetics, fattening is their beauty.
