According to historical records, Yang Guifei was 60 kilograms at that time, in fact, it was not too fat People's judgment of Yang Guifei's physical appearance mainly comes from the idiom of "ring fat Yan thin", believing that Yang Yuhuan of the Tang Dynasty was fat, while Zhao Feiyan of the Han Dynasty was thin, so "the Tang people regarded fat as beauty", and the Han Dynasty regarded thinness as beauty. Really? I always feel that things may not be so simple.
I would like to believe that the Tang people are beautiful in abundance. Just like now people think that thinness is beautiful, but there is also a standard, thin off-shape, bone feeling over-the-head, showing a morbid state, it is difficult to say beautiful. In fact, when we look at the murals, female figures and sculptures of the Tang Dynasty, those female figures can only be said to be plump, round and jade, with a texture beauty, but not obese.
In the Tang Dynasty, people did not deliberately think of fat as beauty. Tang Dynasty as a peak in the history of our country, whether it is political or economic are quite strong, the people's living standards are naturally relatively high, and the ancients did not have the idea of dieting, after the woman has a full nutritional security, it will show in addition to a natural abundance of posture, so in the eyes of people at that time, fat is only a normal phenomenon, is the norm of society.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty royal family's "fat is beautiful", and the "fat" here I prefer to understand is the meaning of "fat", "fat", "plump", "bodybuilding". However, after the Xianbei tribe unified the Central Plains, it was soaked by the Han culture, and the masculine fat gradually became the fat of femininity. We can see this kind of feminine fat in Tang Dynasty murals, female figures, and sculptures, and if you want to use a word to image this feminine fat, I think "fat but not greasy" is the most appropriate.
Speaking of the representative of fat as beauty, we have to mention Yang Guifei, one of the "four beauties", and Yang Guifei, who has received countless praises, what is the real weight? According to relevant historical speculations, Yang Guifei's height is about 1.65 meters, and her weight is only 60 kilograms, such a proportion can only be counted in the ranks of micro-fat today, but this can make the poet Li Bai use "cloud wants to dress and flowers to look, spring breeze blows Revlon" to praise the woman, obviously also has a look of the country, after the fame spread, her "fat" characteristics have been gradually enlarged by people.
