Question丨How beautiful is Wu Zetian? To play Fan Bingbing, is it to restore history or to hype popularity?
A generation of empress Wu Zetian, self-contained fan Bingbing, restores the true image of "Mei Niang" in history!
Mentioned women in history, some are passed down through the ages because of thousands of styles, and some are remembered by history because of the beauty in their breasts,
There is only one woman, because of herself The historical feats of history will always live in the hearts of future generations
, that is, the only orthodox female emperor in the history of our country
Wu Zetian
. Regarding Wu Zetian's merits and demerits, there have been too many discussions and discussions by literati and inkmen, even she herself only left a "wordless monument" and laughed at the situation. However, as a generation of empress,
what Wu Zetian looks like, it seems that there are not many records.
First of all, Wu Zetian can be the emperor’s concubine, and his voice, appearance and appearance are absolutely outstanding.
. Even Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was shocked when he first met Wu Zetian, and he gave him the name "Wu Mei", which is the folk saying of "Wu Mei Niang". However, Tang Taizong Li Shimin didn't like Wu Zetian, and he had not been favored for twelve years before his death. But why is this?
First of all: the emperor does not lack women; secondly, Wu Zetian's character, Li Shimin does not like.
According to Wu Zetian's recollection in his later years, there was a story about "Li Shimin training horses". Li Shimin has a good horse with a good body, but he never succumbs to others. So Wu Zetian said to Li Shimin: "I can tame it, but I need three things: iron whip, iron rod, and dagger." Li Shimin asked: "What's the solution?" Wu Zetian replied: "
Use iron first Whip it, if it is not convinced; hit it with an iron rod, if it is still not convinced; kill it with a dagger.
" After Li Shimin listened, although he admired her aspiration very much, but Must be unhappy in my heart.
Tang Taizong Li Shimin was the emperor who struck the world on horseback
, in terms of his own personality, he must be extremely strong and ambitious. Look at Li Shimin's other concubines, all of them are gentle and graceful, and there is rarely such a domineering and revealing style of Wu Zetian.
Therefore, although Wu Zetian has outstanding appearance and conditions, it is not his dish.
Since Li Shimin has pulled Wu Zetian into the blacklist in the bottom of his heart, there is no need to spoil him. After all, there are many beauties in the harem. This is Li Shimin. Although he is lustful and picky, he never improvises and chooses food.
Secondly, how did Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong Li heal? It turned out that when Li Shimin was in bed, Wu Zetian met the prince Li Zhi because of taking care of Li Shimin. They went back and forth with each other and slowly became in love with each other. But when Tang Taizong Li Shimin died, Wu Zetian and other concubines without women were placed as nuns in the nun temple. But Li Zhi didn't forget her, and coupled with the Queen's Queen who had fallen out of favor at the time, and Concubine Xiao Shu, who had fallen out of favor at the time, he deliberately brought together Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. According to "Old Tang Book, Ben Ji, Volume Six": The emperor saw him in the temple, and was summoned into the palace to worship Zhaoyi. At that time, the empress Wang family and Liangdi Xiao family frequently fought for favor with Wu Zhaoyi, slandering each other, and the emperor refused to accept them.
At that time, Queen Wang had a simple idea, that is, to find a foreign aid to stop Concubine Xiao Shu. But what I didn't expect was to lead the wolf into the room and found Wu Meiniang who was 10,000 times more powerful than Concubine Xiao Shu. As for why Tang Gaozong Li Zhi likes Wu Zetian , and even Wu Zetian becomes a nun, he still remembers this, will start from her appearance . So what exactly does Wu Zetian look like? First of all, the characters in the ancient paintings and calligraphy works are unreliable: First, Chinese paintings have always been freehand; second, most of the paintings are made by posterity , which is also an imaginary. As for the real appearance image, still needs to be retrieved from the "written record", although this is difficult, or even an impossible task.
The earliest record of Wu Zetian’s appearance can be traced back to the legend of "Yuan Tiangang Xiangmian". Yuan Tiangang is a well-known metaphysician in my country, and he was highly respected by dignitaries and dignitaries during his lifetime. And Wu Zetian is the second daughter of Jingzhou Governor and warrior Yu, and the jewel in the palm of the family. Therefore, the Wu family also invited Yuan Tiangang to meet his children. When Yuan Tiangang saw Wu Zetian who was "infant" and "worn in men's clothing", he was more shocked than Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. He even used "Sunhorn Dragon Yan", "Dragon Eye and Phoenix Neck", "Fuxi's Phase" To describe, and even bluntly: " If you are a woman, you will be the emperor in the future. " And in the "Old Tang Book", the term "dragon eye and phoenix neck" is also used to describe Wu Zetian's appearance.
Words like dragon eyes and phoenix necks are really abstract, because no one knows what dragon and phoenix look like. must be very "atmospheric", similar to a " "Elegant and luxurious" beauty is for sure. Otherwise, such domineering words will not be used to describe appearance, the opposite is "Xiu Wai Huizhong" and the like. So, is it enough to describe Wu Zetian's appearance by just "graceful and luxurious"? Definitely not, at least from two aspects: First, Tang Taizong Li Shimin gave her the name "Mei Niang", then she must still have some Wu Mei ; second, from the perspective of her life , 训 Ma Shi's ambition, dare to be the domineering female emperor, so she must be very heroic.
Finally, how does Fan Bingbing look? No matter how many people comment on her poor acting skills, almost no one denies her beauty, and her beauty is also different from Gong Li’s traditional oriental beauty, but a kind of very airy beauty , hearty and hearty. Without losing exquisiteness. Even in the process of an interview, she bluntly stated that " is a wealthy man! ". She is so proud and speaking such words is definitely not a trace of domineering in her character. This is why she is so proud. The reason why fans call her "Fan Ye". It seems that Fan Bingbing and Wu Zetian fit well in appearance and character. Some people in the media even called out " Fan Bingbing is the queen of the entertainment industry! "
when they heard that Fan Bingbing starred in The Legend of Wu Mei Niang. It’s difficult for us to restore Wu Zetian’s true voice and appearance through other means; but it doesn’t hinder our imagination of her and find a "stand-in" in reality, just like many people like to say "Who is "Whose little one" is the same, , at least in terms of Fan Bingbing's voice and appearance, can satisfy many people's requirements for Wu Zetian.
