Yang Guifei appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also very dramatic to talk about her experience. Yang Guifei's name is not Yang Guifei, but Yang Yuhuan. In history, her existence is quite ingenious. She was originally the princess of Shouwang, but she was attracted by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. However, it is indeed disgraceful for her father and son to fight for a daughter in history. Tang Xuanzong let her become a monk and later became a concubine. The beauty of Yang Yuhuan was very shocking at that time, so Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan fell in love.
Du Fu, a "poet saint", also wrote a poem about Yang Guifei, which is called "Two Ways". In Du Fu's The Second Way, the image of Yang Guifei is "receptive, aloof, gentle, sincere and gentle, with soft skin and fine bones". So, what does this sentence mean? In fact, the general idea is that Yang is a beautiful woman with symmetrical figure (bone) and material (meat). In Song of Eternal Sorrow, Bai Juyi wrote: "Because of her fatigue, a maid held her up when the emperor first noticed her and chose her as his bride. When she moves, the clouds of her hair, the petals on her cheeks, and the golden ripples of her crown are covered by warm hibiscus curtains on spring nights. " It can be seen from Delicate and Golden Step that Yang Guifei is not fat.
According to historical records, Yang Yuhuan was a master dancer, proficient in Hu Xuan's dance, and had a very beautiful figure. It is particularly obvious that Yang Yuhuan is not fat, but plump and sexy. It is precisely because of unofficial history's excessive exaggeration of the rich and beautiful women in the Tang Dynasty that the concept of "taking fat as beauty" has spread to this day and become a beautiful misunderstanding!
