in the Tang Dynasty is different from that of other dynasties, and
is "fat as beauty"!
This makes many modern women unable to yearn for it,
eat and sleep casually every day.
But in fact,
's so-called Tang Dynasty's "beauty with fat" has long been stolen.
Tang Dynasty was strong and civilized. In this context, women are relatively less restrained. They can show their faces to the suburbs, play in the city, and watch football; they can meet men on outings, and they can even talk and drink together at the same table without avoiding suspicion. They can also participate in horse riding, hunting, and Feasting, playing ball... involved in various social activities.
So is there really such a big difference between the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty and the modern people?

We are familiar with the Tang Dynasty's beauty of fat, mostly because of the image of Concubine Yang.
In fact, if you take a closer look at the famous Tang Dynasty painter Yan Liben's "Step by Step Picture" and Zhou Fang's "Hairpin Lady Picture", it is not difficult to find that the palace ladies and ladies in the paintings are not obese at all. The nine palace ladies in the "Step by Step Picture" walked slowly around Li Shimin, some of them were carrying their children, some were wearing umbrellas, and some were raising fans. She seems to have a lot of strength, and she is definitely not a sick beauty who can't help but feel weak.
However, judging by their figures, they are really slim. The woman in "The Picture of Hairpin Lady" is probably due to a more noble status and a little older. The figure is slightly plump, but the standing posture is all graceful and graceful, as light as a spring breeze. There is no doubt that their figures can be described as "slim".
It is certain that in the beauty standards of the Tang Dynasty, there is also a slim item. "Old News of Ciliu Family", "Tang Yulin" and other documents record that when Tang Minghuang's son, Suzong Li Heng, was still the crown prince, he was trapped by Li Linfu and was in a dangerous situation. He was so worried that his hair and beards were all white. anxiety. After Tang Ming learned about it, he asked Gao Lishi to send Jing Zhaoyin (the mayor of Chang'an, the capital) to "choose five women, slender, white, and give the prince." It can be seen that the beauty pageant standards in the Xuanzong era are the same as today: slim, tall and fair skin.
The two poems of Guanxiu, a poetic monk, can also prove that the Tang people do not regard obesity as beauty: there is no respect for people, and don't learn to be fat ("White Snow Song"). This means that people, no matter how high or low, should not become obese. In other words, in the concept of honor and shame of the people of the Tang Dynasty, there is one "to be proud of being slim and to be ashamed of being obese." It can be seen that the people of the Tang Dynasty not only did not regard obesity as their beauty, but they absolutely hated obesity.
said that people in the Tang Dynasty did not regard obesity as their beauty, and they can also be strongly confirmed by the use of words such as "slim waist" and "slim" in Tang poems. In Tang poetry, "slim waist" and "slim" are both used to describe beautiful women.
