Wu Zetian, as an empress of a generation, only erected a wordless monument after her death. Her life in this life is two extremes in the evaluation of posterity; on the one hand, she is said: "Meritorious and virtuous, diligent in government and loving the people, after the Kaiyuan prosperous world, political achievements are remarkable." On the other hand, some people say of her: "The sins are deep, the absurdity is unreasonable, and the laughter is generous." "Leaving a wordless monument, it may be that the world's controversy about her is too big, and it is two completely different directions, so it is difficult to write."
Wu Zetian, a figure who has been an empress, every time she is mentioned, she often talks about her deeds, but before becoming an empress, she is still a talented person of Tang Taizong, the Zhaoyi of Tang Gaozong, so how is Wu Zetian's appearance, is it also called "Yun wants to dress and flowers to look"?
Wu Zetian was born in 624, is the second daughter of the Tang Dynasty hero Wu ShiYan (yuē), the mother is Rongguo Lady Yang, and two sisters, but Wu Zetian's real name is not recorded, after speculation, Wu Zetian's real name should be called "Wu Yuanhua"; if not married to the emperor, Wu Zetian can also marry a good family with the right door, but in 638, he was included in the harem, when Wu Zetian was only 14 years old.
Tang Taizong was much older than Wu Zetian, and was a ming jun, and people rarely mentioned Li Shimin's harem, indicating that he was not a king who was easily confused by female sex. However, when the Wucai people were included in the palace, they heard that the Wu clan was young and beautiful, so they included him in the palace, and named her wupincairen and gave her the title of "Wumei".
Tang Taizong used a "beauty" for the wucai people, and yun in the Qingyi Fu said: "All ye wu mei, Zhuo Wei is colorful." This "Wu Mei" does not refer to Wu Mei Niang, but the meaning of "charming", that is, to describe people's posture as beautiful and lovely. Moreover, when Tang Taizong had just sealed the Martial Talent, he spoiled her for three consecutive nights, if he didn't like the Martial Talent, how could he give such an honor? Moreover, at that time, she was still only a small wupin talent, and there were also plump and noble concubines on it, which was enough to see Li Shimin's love for Wu Meiniang at that time.
Therefore, it can be known that Wu Meiniang's appearance and posture conform to the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty, and she was born beautiful, because she was young, she was only more than ten years old at that time, and she also carried a little bit of a little girl's cuteness. However, Wu Meiniang was no longer favored soon after she was favored, and there were two possibilities, one was the well-known prophecy of the heroine Wu Shi, and the other was the "horse training incident" at that time.
At that time, Tang Taizong got a lion horse, which is an extremely difficult horse to tame, even if it is a special breeder, it is difficult to adjust well, at that time Wu Meiniang was just next to him, so he volunteered to say: "Concubines can make it, but they must have three things, one iron whip, two iron rafters, and three daggers." If the iron whip disobeys, he will be struck with a rafter, and if he does not obey, his throat will be cut off with a dagger. From this incident, Li Shimin also saw the "vicious" side of this beautiful woman, so he did not pay much attention to her in the future.
Later, Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi had feelings, Wu Meiniang was very young when she entered the palace, in 649 Tang Taizong died, Wu Meiniang was only 24 years old, even if she cut her hair later, as a Tang Tianzi Li Zhi what did not get? However, despite the opposition, he took Wu Meiniang out of the Ganye Temple, even as a nun, Wu Mei's appearance was still beautiful.
Two generations of kings are fascinated by Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang's appearance can not be described by the fall of the country, that is also the appearance of the flower, the Tang Dynasty to fat for beauty, Wu Meiniang's face should belong to the comfortable and rounded type, according to the portrait of Wu Meiniang, she also has a pair of radiant Dan Phoenix eyes, this is the highlight of this appearance, a pair of good-looking Dan Phoenix eyes not only make her look spirit, but also add a little aura to her beauty.
In the Tang Dynasty, the height of men generally did not exceed 170, and women generally 155, but from the portraits of ancient books, even if Wu Meiniang removed the headdress, her height was the same as that of her father-in-law, and her estimated height was 165, which was far higher than that of ordinary women and could be compared with men. It is also this height, even if the slightly fat figure does not look like a ball, has become an advantage for her.
Wu Zetian's real appearance and Liu Xiaoqing who played her at that time are very similar, the eyes are bright and bright, there is a little fat, the face shape is round, making people look very comfortable, the appearance is also beautiful, during the Tang Dynasty, women like to wear pomegranate skirts, Wu Zetian also has a plump beauty.
