The origin of the famous idiom "ring fat and swallow thin" in history is also inextricably linked with Yang Guifei. The imperial concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was plump, while the empress Zhao of Emperor Chengdi of the Han Dynasty was thin. The fatness of these two famous beauties in history was used by Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, as a metaphor for the style of calligraphy works. Su Shi once wrote in Sun Xin's Miao Yan Poetry Year, "Ling Du's storytelling is expensive, thin and hard. I don't share this theory, there are differences between long and short, fat and thin. Who dares to hate Yuhuan Feibo? " The fatness of ancient beauties, which was originally different from calligraphy, was actually linked by Su Shi. It's amazing! Since then, this idiom has spread. But with the passage of time, this idiom gradually lost contact with calligraphy and returned to its original meaning, that is, the image of a woman.
Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the famous Song of Eternal Sorrow in order to express the beauty of Yang Guifei. Although there are not many descriptions of Yang Guifei's chubby, the phrase "frost crystal that warms and smoothes her skin" can make people feel the softness, fragrance and warmth of Yang Guifei's jade between the lines.
Zhou Fang, a painter in the Tang Dynasty, called "Zanhua Ladies" a symbol of women in the Tang Dynasty, which also made women in the Tang Dynasty thick and beautiful, like a blooming peony flower, fresh and full, nourishing the eyes of countless people in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, not only women but also men were fat. An Lushan, Yang Guifei's adopted son, is one of them. According to "Old Tang Book"; "Biography of An Lushan" records: "An Lushan was obese in his later years, and his stomach hung over his knees, weighing 330 Jin. Until Xuanzong's predecessor Hu Xuan danced like the wind. " It is incredible that you can dance Hu Xuan and fly like the wind. What is even more puzzling is: Why did people in the Tang Dynasty regard obesity as beauty? Why is the plump Yang Guifei so popular?
The Tang Dynasty was a wealthy dynasty. The poet Du Fu said in a poem: "The rice grain is fat and white, and the public and private granaries are abundant." The country is rich and strong, and the people have plenty of food and clothing. Most people can put down their stomachs and enjoy delicious spicy food. Under the external conditions of being strong and fat, they maintain the material basis of healthy and plump physique.
The beauty of "ring fertilizer" originated in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the north. The grandfather of Tang Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was big noble Dugu of Xianbei, and at least half of Li Tang's royal blood was Xianbei people. Starting from Guanlong Military Group, a nomadic tribe in Xianbei, the royal family of Li Tang still maintained some habits of nomadic life after entering the Central Plains. They like to admire peonies, love fat horses and admire the beauty of massiness. But the nomadic life of Xianbei people needs wildness and strong physique. The plump Yang Guifei was loved by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, so it is not surprising that she has her own special room.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty was a highly open country with diplomatic contacts with more than 30 countries. Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty was a magnificent capital. It was the largest international metropolis in the world at that time and the center of oriental civilization, attracting thousands of businessmen, travelers, scholars and religious believers of different beliefs from all over the world. At that time, Persia was closely related to the Tang Dynasty, and a large number of Persians lived in Chang 'an.
With the influx of people from the western regions, Chang 'an's lifestyle has also changed, and imitating the Hu people has become fashionable. For example, in terms of clothing, Chang 'an is deeply influenced by the atmosphere of the western regions, from Persia and Dong Bang to Turkic, Tuguhun and Tu.
The Tang Dynasty with big breasts and fat buttocks, and the gentle and fragrant Yang Guifei have fascinated countless people through the ages. It can be seen that there is nothing wrong with being fat! "The clouds in her hair, the petals on her cheeks, and the golden ripples on her head when she moves are covered by warm hibiscus curtains on spring nights. But the nights in spring are short and the sun rises too fast. From then on, the emperor gave up the early dynasty. He wasted all his time on parties and revelry. He is the lover of spring and the tyrant of night. There are other ladies in his court, and 3,000 are rare and beautiful, but his love is 3,000. " Yang Yuhuan is a fat beauty, so beautiful that Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, doesn't even want to ask about state affairs. So, let me think, "fat" should always have its unique charm!
