Weight loss is a popular topic in today's society, and many people take thinness as beauty and lose weight daily.
In addition, obesity also has many harms, such as causing psychological disorders, weight gain may also increase the pressure on the lumbar spine and joints, easy to suffer from trauma, metabolic disorders, and may also suffer from high blood pressure, fatty liver and other diseases. Therefore, for the sake of beauty and health, weight loss has become a popular trend today.
As the saying goes: "a fat destroys everything", in fact, the ancients have also been working hard to lose weight, and the weight loss methods of different dynasties have their own advantages, which are roughly divided into self-harm school and Buddhist school.
Many people may say that the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty "fat is beautiful" saying is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but in fact, this is not the case.
The description of Yang Guifei in the Old Book of Tang is "posture crown generation" and "posture is abundant", and there is no specific description of her figure.
However, in the notes of a prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, it is described that when Tang Xuanzong chose a princess for his son, he wanted to be "slender and white" women, and it seems that the emperor's aesthetic is still "thin".
It can be seen that Yang Yuhuan is a well-proportioned woman, not fat, the so-called "fat for beauty", may only be "plump", that is, good figure.
The first to pioneer the weight loss movement was Chu Ling Wang, who was completely self-injurious in weight loss. The "Warring States Strategy Chu Ce" records: The Spirit King has a small waist, Chu Shi eats, Feng and then can stand, style can then rise, food can be desired, endure but not enter.
King Chu Ling pursued thinness, was so hungry that he could not eat, his body became weaker and weaker, many people also learned from him in order to please King Chu Ling, and finally many people were starved to death.
Buddhist weight loss, I believe that many girls today are like this. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, people would choose dietary remedies to lose weight.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there was also a "square dance", which was called "Five Birds Play" in ancient times. It is said that there was a person who wanted to lose weight, Hua Tuo let him snort two or two melon seeds a day, while sniffing while walking, in the long run, the fat man was really thin.
The ancients were not inferior to modern people in the pursuit of beauty, but there were also some who did not care, such as a monarch, who weighed 500 pounds, and was the fattest emperor in history.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Huan Wen, who was the son-in-law of Sima Shao, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, who was very rich and generous. During his reign in power, he improved the rule of officials, suppressed mergers, attached importance to the suffering of the people, improved education, and died of illness in the first year of Ning Kang.
Huan Wen had a son named Huan Xuan, who was a magnificent in appearance, a wind god who was sparse and had a great desire for power. When Huan Wen was alive, it was rumored that Constant Temperature wanted to replace the emperor, and Huan Xuan could only act in a low-key manner at this time to avoid being discovered.
However, Huan Xuan's ambitions have always been great, and he has always wanted to find opportunities to usurp the throne. Not only that, but his weight also increased, Huan Xuan was particularly able to eat, it is said that he could eat 20 pounds of meat in a meal, and finally his weight has reached more than 500 pounds.
The history books also record Huan Xuan's body shape, saying that he was too fat to ride a horse, so he invented a mechanism chair that could rotate in direction to facilitate automatic access for travel.
In the second year of Yuan Xing, Huan Xuan usurped the throne as emperor and established Huan Chu. On the day of the enthronement ceremony, Huan Xuanmei sat on the dragon chair, but as soon as he sat down, he collapsed the floor under the chair, which made Huan Xuan very unhappy.
Later, Yin Zhongwen said, "Emperor, you are the True Dragon Heavenly Son, and the earth cannot carry you, which is an auspicious omen." Huan Xuan listened very well and turned his anger into joy.
But we all know that it was Huan Xuan who was too fat, and the dragon chair was crushed by him. Later, the dragon chair was repaired, Huan Xuan sat on it again and broke it, and reinforced it several times back and forth, and the dragon chair was imprisoned.
It is said that Huan Xuan not only sat in a bad dragon chair, but also because he was too fat, he even needed help when he pampered his concubine, which was too embarrassing and should lose weight.
In fact, Huan Xuan collapsed not only the floor, but also the wind and rain of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and within a few days of Huan Xuan's ascension to the throne, Liu Yu took the Northern Province rebel army to raise an army.
Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty was an outstanding statesman, reformer, and military figure who was the founding monarch of the Southern Dynasty Liu Song Dynasty. Liu Yu was originally a subordinate of Huan Xuan, who wanted to use him to consolidate his throne.
However, Liu Yu's ambitions were ambitious, and Huan Xuan claimed that the empress dowager was arrogant and lascivious, desolate, and the people were miserable, so Liu Yu conspired with Liu Yi and He Wuji to revive and then raised an army to attack Huan Xuan.
Liu Yu and Huan Xuan's two armies fought twice, but both ended in Huan Xuan's defeat, Huan Xuan could only flee to Jiangling, and was booby-trapped by his men on the way to Shu, Liu Yu was given permission by the Jin Emperor Chan, and the Southern Song Dynasty was founded.
Huan Wen once said to Huan Xuan: You can't go back to eternity, bento stinks for thousands of years, the former is too difficult for him to operate, and the latter is obviously the time has come. In the end, Liu Yu did indeed survive for thousands of years, while Huan Xuan could only leave a stink for ten thousand years.
That turbulent era was the darkest moment in China's history, when the five chaos, the killings were rampant, the door valves were high, and the drunken dreams of death became a painful period for the nation. Huan Xuan's fat body fell, and the door valve became his rich funerary product.
