As one of the four beauties of ancient China, Wang Zhaojun's appearance has always touched the hearts of future generations, especially since entering modern society, science and technology have developed rapidly. But when the experts restored its appearance, netizens fried the pan, because it seems to be different from the four beauties they imagined.
Based on the descriptions of historical records and archaeological data, experts used modern technology to finally re-reveal Wang Zhaojun's appearance to the world. Not to mention the figure, only the appearance, netizens have questioned the authenticity of this restoration, because this Wang Zhaojun and the modern aesthetics do have a great difference.
The restored beauty Wang Zhaojun has a square face, her eyes are not large, but like a thin line, and her skin color is a little dark, these features seem to be incompatible with the beauty. Therefore, it is understandable that netizens questioned this, and later experts gave an explanation, which is the real Wang Zhaojun in history.
As for why she will surprise netizens so much, this is mainly because of different times, people in different eras have different standards for the identification of beauty, just like the Tang Dynasty used fat as beauty. People in the Han Dynasty preferred women with square or round faces, because such women looked like Wangfu and were very popular with men. And the reason why Wang Zhaojun can be called one of the four beauties is not only because of her appearance, but more importantly, she is willing to go to the Western Regions and kiss for the peace of the country, and her contributions make the people grateful, so future generations will miss and remember, this kind of beauty from the heart is really beautiful.
