The so-called beauty in Datang is overweight

The Tang Dynasty was an open society, allowing bare chests and bare arms. The physical beauty of women is broad forehead, round face and fat body. According to unofficial history's research, Yang Guifei's height1.64m and weight1.20kg.. It doesn't matter now. The fat place is fat, and the thin place is thin. Such a figure can be called fullness in ancient times and modern times.

However, we have no way to prove how fat Yang Yuhuan really is. We can only find clues from some documents. For example, the "Bath Map of the Imperial Lady" drawn in the Tang Dynasty left a spring scene for later generations, and Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Sorrow". Although there is not much description of Yang Guifei's fatness, the phrase "cream crystal that warms and smoothes her skin" can make people feel Yang Guifei's fullness between the lines.

Extended data:

Tang Dynasty's founding emperor Li Yuan's grandfather was big noble Dugu, and at least half of Li Tang's royal blood was Xianbei. Starting from Guanlong Army Group, a nomadic tribe in Xianbei, the royal family in Li Tang still maintained some habits of nomadic life after entering the Central Plains, loving peonies, fat-ass Malaysia and advocating magnificent beauty. The nomadic life of Xianbei people needs a brave and strong body. It is not surprising that the plump Yang Guifei is popular and loved.
