Did the ancients have any poems, sentences and articles? About the beauty of being fat?

Since ancient times, China people have stubbornly believed that the standard of beauty is to be tall and fat. The beauties sung in The Book of Songs, whether male or female, are tall and fat: Li praises a beautiful dancer: "The master is fat, and the master is tall, which shows that being fat is the standard of beauty; Feng Weishuo praised a lady and said, "Shuo people are beautiful and well dressed. "Tall is tall, tall and fat. How fat is it? -"Soft, the skin solidified. Collar like a cockroach, teeth like a rhinoceros. "'Soft catkins' are the tender buds of plants, and' coagulated fat' is coagulated lard." "Collar" is the neck; Gryphon ",later pronounced" Griffin ",is the larva of Gryphon, white and obese. Think about it: a fat bug with a bulging neck and swollen fingers, is this image worthy of the nickname "a basket of oil"? Later, in Cai Yong's Xie Chufu, the metaphor used to describe beauty is more elegant: "The face is like a full moon, the brightness is like the morning sun, the color is like lotus flowers, and the muscles are like condensed honey", but the overall image is still the same as "a basket of oil". But in ancient times, this "basket of oil", like Madonna, was definitely an idol that people admired and worshipped. At that time, people not only advocated that women were obese, but the fatter they were, the more beautiful they were. "Tang-style pepper chat" praised the woman: "His son is clumsy and huge; His son is clumsy, huge and clumsy. "Giant without friends, that is,' Big Mac', in the eyes of the ancients, women of this tonnage are beautiful and moving at home. When we read the Book of Songs, we can notice that almost all sentences praising beauty are inseparable from "saying": for example, Chen Fengze Pi: "There is a beautiful person who is huge and curly"; Postscript to the Wind and the Wolf: "Gong's skin is a little red", "Feng Qiyi", "Yi Chang Xi", "Feng Wei tells people", "Say people are proud" and so on are all examples. Some people may say that the Book of Songs mentioned above are all poems in the north, and the aesthetic standards in the south may be different? Please look at the beauty described in The Songs of the South: "Flesh and bones are weak, just for entertainment". The so-called "skinny flesh" means that you can't see the bone shape in the light, which is just the opposite of the "skinny feeling" required by modern beauty selection; Look down again-"once your cheeks were leaning against your ears, your eyebrows were just right", which is even more amazing. The so-called "Zeng cheek" means "cheeks", that is, the shape of the face and neck is not very clear, like the male host of a foreign TV station (sorry, I forgot my name). This is exactly the same as the beauty sung in The Book of Songs, because Feng Wei once praised it as "giant and elegant", while Volume 368 of Taiping Yulan was quoted as "giant and beautiful". Note: "Yi, heavy Yi also", "heavy Yi" is synonymous with "Zeng cheek" and is also a double chin. One more chin than others, which was a rare beauty in ancient Wei and Chu. This shows that in ancient times, the beauty standard of hypertrophy was not only men and women, but also north and south. It is precisely because in ancient times, obesity was the most important thing that the word "Shuo Ren" became synonymous with "beauty", such as Xiaoya Baihua: "Singing songs hurts people's feelings and thinks about others"; Cai Yong's "Qing Yi Fu": "Xuanguang is moist, and the collar is like a cockroach. Lanky Ran Ran, a great man "; Chen Lin's "Zhi Yu Fu": "Bright and beautiful, more beautiful than people" and so on, are all such use cases. The description of beauty in Zuo Zhuan is called "beautiful and gorgeous", and "gorgeous" is interpreted as "good and long" in Shuowen, that is, beauty is high. Literally speaking, the word "Yan" comes from "Feng", which itself means hypertrophy and fullness. For example, Sima Xiangru's Beauty Fu, Ge Hong's Miscellaneous Notes on Xijing, Cai Yong's Xie Chu Fu and Xiao Yan's Ye Jing Fu. , all directly use "muscular" to describe beauty. This reflects the tendency to focus only on the quality of meat to measure beauty. In addition, ancient women were also called "Niang". The word "Niang" is a vulgar word, and its original meaning is "Niang". According to Shuowen, "Niang" means "fat". "E" is also a good name for a beautiful girl. The word "E" from "I" comes from my words and has the meaning of being tall. In ancient times, female beauty was also called "Yan" and "Ai". What are "Yan" and "Ai"? " Shuowen said: "Yan Yan, looks like" hey, a good-looking talent "; "My Fair Lady" in the poem "Watching Luo" is the most classic name for beauty. The so-called "My Fair Lady" is to change Feng Wei's adjective "ao ao" into "ao ao" and "Mao Chuan". In addition, the reduplication of the word "ao ao" was changed to two-syllable "e e": Liezi Zhou Muwang: "Zheng Wei's maiden, e-e-e-e-e", later changed to "e-e" and "Songs of the South": "Many women are jealous of-e-e-e-e". It turns out that ao ao, my fair lady, e-e-e-e, e-e-e all mean tall. Later, the so-called "slim" was also transferred from "slim" and "slim". Its positive meaning is only tall and does not include the meaning of "thin" now. Yu Meiren, an ancient man, only emphasized that growth is an important condition. In Er Ya, "It is beautiful to appoint a committee", Sun Yan said, "It is beautiful to grow up. "On Balance": "People in the world are good. Biography of Historical Records and Su Qin: "There are beautiful women. "On Salt and Iron: Talking about the beauty of Motome in Zhongshan," is also a long white woman. "There are many such examples. In ancient times, the word "graceful posture" was often used to describe the beauty of men, indicating that "fat" is also the primary condition of male beauty. There were two famous handsome guys in the pre-Qin period, one was Zi Zi and the other was Zi Chong. And everyone, big also; Full, long and tall. As can be seen from their names, they are handsome because they are big. Speaking of names, it reminds us of the names of the ancients. Their choice of "name" and "word" also highlights the concept of beauty when growing up. " "Zuo Zhuan Yin Gongyuan" contains the name of Zheng Gongzi, which is sealed. "Lu" is also called "Fu" in ancient Chinese (see "Lu Punishment" in Shangshu, Book of Rites and Xiaojing). And "Erya" said: "Fu, uncle. "Huainanzi Astronomy": "Those who are loyal to Lu are also grand; Nanlu, Renbaoda also "; Dialect: "Lu, Nagano. Lu Yue, Song Lu, is also big. As his "word", "feng" also means big. According to Mao's legend, "Feudal Jue Fu" in The Book of Songs, Shang Song Yan Wu, "abundance is great. "Zuo Zhuan Xiang Gong Twenty-two Years" contains the name of the State of Zheng, which is both beautiful and beautiful. According to the meaning that both "overseas Chinese" and "production" have grown up. Shuowen: "Overseas Chinese are tall people"; Erya: "Overseas Chinese are high." There is another saying: "It means Joe, and the great red means production", which means that both "overseas Chinese" and "production" mean growing up. Growing up is beautiful, so it is also beautiful. The same article "Zuo Zhuan" records that the surname of Song, Gong Sun, is willing to get it, and the word inherits the father. " "Wish" and "deduction" are both big meanings. "Erya": "Wish, big head also; In May of Yuan Dynasty, Mao Chuan wrote "Xiaoya June": "Yuan, Daye." Dialect: "Yi is both wide and big. The words are also. " Er Ya: "Yi, grandpa." The word "Fu Shuo" in the Book of Rites Tan Gong only quoted Shiben as "the stone father", and Shitong said that he was only the same father, but elegant: "Say, uncle"; Shuowen: "Shuo, big head also"; The meaning of "fu" has been seen. "Eleven Years of Zuo Zhuan Gong" contains Song Buzi Stone, the word Emperor Father. "Stone filling" means great beauty. Shuowen: "Full, long and high". "Lu Lan must be for himself": "Disaster fills heaven and earth"; "Huainanzi said the mountain training": "If it is near, the bell will be full", and it is noted that "it is also full." Mencius wrote: "Abundance is beautiful, and abundance is brilliant." It's a charger, beautiful and great. Shi Tongshuo is also beautiful. Like his word "yellow", it also means great beauty. Erya: "the beauty of the emperor"; "corpse guangze chapter": "the emperor is great"; Zhou Song trembled: "God is the emperor", and Mao said: "The emperor is beautiful". It can be seen that the emperor is great and beautiful, and beauty is great. And "Zuo Zhuan Zhuang Gong Eleven Years" contains Song Nangong Pills, with a long word. According to Wan Naiman's poems "Tongjiazi" and "Truffle Tonggong": "Confucius is a master", while Mao Legend says: "Man is a long man". In ancient times, there was "Wan Dance", which was called "Man Dance". Dancers are all grown up, so they are called Mann. Therefore, this person's name "Wan" and its word "Dragon" have the same meaning, and they all entrusted people's requirements for beauty at that time. On the other hand, being fat is beautiful, so being thin certainly means being ugly. Ancient books say that people are "difficult" and often use the word "appearance". In the Biography of Tian Han Fen, "Tian Fen looks at it and sleeps", and Yan Shigu notes that "the short one is called sleep". Some people say that there were times when thin people were optimistic in ancient times. For example, I like Chu Zhuangwang with a thin waist and Han Chengdi in Zhaoli. Yes, it's true. But occasionally like thin, just another embodiment of the concept of taking fat as beauty. It's like a person eating meat all day, getting tired of it and suddenly wanting to eat steamed stuffed buns. Wotou only gets tired of him occasionally. Therefore, even if he eats Wowotou, he will never deny that meat is better than Wowotou. Therefore, judging from the ancient history of China, the orthodox aesthetic view of taking fat as beauty has never wavered. It is precisely because of such aesthetic standards in ancient times that most monarch beauty pageants choose tall women. "Historical Records Tian Shijia" records the beauty pageant of Qi State: "Choose women of Qi State who are more than seven feet for the harem". There is a rule in the beauty pageant in the Han Dynasty: "When choosing a woman in August, the length must be appropriate, and the long white is the virtue." According to The Biography of Were Han Qin Feng, Yan Feng was less than seven feet long. "I am often ashamed of being short and ugly, and I am afraid of my children, so I marry a long wife for my son"; The Book of the Tang Dynasty also said that Emperor Xuanzong chose an eldest daughter to serve the prince. This is for women, in fact, it is the same for men, and fat people are the first choice. When the school was founded in the early Han Dynasty, the doctor's children should be good-looking, tall, undressed and have a physical examination, and there should be no scars ("no gold and no chronic diseases"), just like the old lady who bought fruit in Beijing. Only in the draft of the Tang Dynasty can you enter the professional examination through "four selections", that is, body, speech, writing and judgment. As the first level, "body selection" is to check the body and appearance of candidates and select plump and stalwart people, and all short and thin people will be eliminated. Legends in the Tang Dynasty often describe the story of Agatha falling in love with prostitutes, probably because Agatha's beauty can win the favor of prostitutes. Especially in ancient times, a man's fat and stalwart figure not only won the love of women, but even saved lives. Hanshu records that when Zhang Cang was beheaded for a crime, he took off his clothes and lay on the chopping block waiting for a knife. Seeing that he was white, fat, smooth and loved him very much, the beheading official Wang Ling went to Liu Bang to intercede for him, and later he was saved from death. -This is the power of beauty.
