Chapter 593: Don’t Tang people regard fat as beauty~?

The next day.

Li Zexuan had eaten breakfast and came to Yunshan early, but unexpectedly saw

an unexpected person.

"Hey~? Wenhao~? When did you come~? Shouldn't you be at Huji Food Shop~?"

When he came to Yan Shaoning's temporary "office", Li Zexuan unexpectedly saw

Meng Wenhao who had disappeared for a long time, and he couldn't help asking.

The last time I came to Yunshan, when Li Zexuan invited a group of students in

the school to eat, I heard a few students talk about Meng Wenhao, saying that

he was working as a cashier in a grain shop and earning money to subsidize the

family, so he didn’t come with them. Yunshan, Li Zexuan understood this at the

time. In his previous life, he himself had worked during the vacation, so he

didn't blame Meng Wenhao for this.

"Mr~! You are here~! The student just came here the day before yesterday~! I

came here a bit late, please don't blame Mr.~!"

Seeing Li Zexuan coming in, Meng Wenhao got up and said hello excitedly.

Yan Shaoning interjected in an angry voice: "Look at your students, none of

them are more active than you. Someone was sitting on a fairy lamp dangling in

the city of Chang'an a few days ago. It's really free and easy~!"

Li Zexuan said silently, "I'm just to prove to everyone that I'm not

bragging~? It's not for my personal enjoyment~? To some extent, I'm also for

the future development of Yanhuang Academy~!"

Yan Shaoning curled his lips and said, "Yes~! You have a lot of wrong things~!

But you are a student who is really good~! Not only is you a good hand at

calculating accounts, but your charm is really not so big~!"

Li Zexuan was confused, so he said, "What do you mean~?"

Meng Wenhao blushed and quickly said, "It's nothing, command Yan, don't say

anything~!"

"This is a glorious thing, what's the embarrassment to say~?"

Yan Shaoning patted Meng Wenhao on the shoulder, laughed, and then said to Li

Zexuan, "Xiaoxuan, don't you know~? After you went to Huji Food Shop, you, as

a student, not only defeated the four of them in the same way. Mr. Accountant,

and when he left, he almost abducted the eldest lady~! Tsk tsk!"

Li Zexuan was taken aback, and asked with interest, "Oh~? There is something

like this~? Shaoning, come and listen~!"

After all, this guy hurriedly moved a stool and sat in front of Yan Shaoning,

anxious to listen to gossip, he looked like a gentleman~!

Meng Wenhao's eyelids jumped, rather speechless.

Yan Shaoning was quite used to Li Zexuan's detached temperament. He also sat

down and began to tell Li Zexuan about Meng Wenhao's "love affair".

As a result, two big men in the house sat together and began to talk about

gossip, but a young man and a half were fidgeting awkwardly beside him.

Half a quarter of an hour later, after learning the whole story, Li Zexuan got

up and laughed loudly: "Wenhao, you guys are okay~! Before you graduate,

you'll learn how to make girls~! Haha~! Not bad, not bad~!"

Meng Wenhao is very embarrassed. Although he doesn't know what "sister-in-law"

means, he can still guess a general idea. He said: "Sir, the students just

want to use what they have learned to earn some change. He didn't intend to

provoke anything. People~!"

Li Zexuan waved his hand again and again and said, "Hehe~! You don't have to

explain to the teacher, you still believe in your character as a teacher. But

why don't you kid accept Miss Hu's wishes~?"

"Uh~! This..."

Meng Wenhao scratched his head in embarrassment, but didn't know how to

answer.

Li Zexuan looked at Yan Shaoning and asked, "Could it be a matter of

appearance~? Shaoning, how does Miss Hu look like~?"

Yan Shaoning endured a smile and said, "The five senses are acceptable,

but...the body is slightly plump, there is nothing bad~!"

"Oh~!"

Li Zexuan gave a meaningful "Oh" and Meng Wenhao quickly said, "Sir, it's not

a matter of appearance, it's just that the students are young and haven't

considered marriage~!"

Yan Shaoning curled his lips and said: "Cut, pretend~! If it wasn't for the

appearance of the ghost~!"

"Right~!"

Li Zexuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Don't you guys like

Shaoning girls with plump bodies~?"

He remembers that in many books in his previous life, it was written that the

Tang people regarded fat as beauty~! It stands to reason that since Miss Hu's

facial features are not bad, but her body is slightly plump, such women should

be more popular with people nowadays, but looking at them now, it's obviously

not the same thing~!

Yan Shaoning said disgustingly: "Go~! Who said I like plump girls~? I never

saw your kid like this~! Why do we have to like this~? Wenhao, do you like

this~? "

Meng Wenhao hesitated for a moment, but shook his head.

Li Zexuan Nahan for a while, secretly said: Did he remember wrong again~?

He remembered it correctly, he was just misled.

In previous lives, people in the Tang Dynasty reviewed the saying that women

"beauty with obesity" has been around for a long time and spread widely.

After some textual research, some experts asserted that the people of the Tang

Dynasty really regarded obesity as their beauty, and pointed out several

reasons why the people of the Tang Dynasty regarded obesity as their beauty:

the Tang Dynasty's economy was prosperous, and people had the conditions to

eat and wear warmly, and maintain a healthy and full body; Tang Korean culture

is open, inclusive, broad-minded, and fat-hearted; the Tang Dynasty imperial

family has a humble descent, which makes them naturally love women with strong

physique...

In fact, this statement is wrong, at least inaccurate.

The reason why people think that women in the Tang Dynasty regarded obesity as

their beauty mainly based on the posture of Concubine Yang and the images of

women in Tang Dynasty court paintings and lady paintings.

In fact, if you look closely at the works of Yan Liben and Zhou Fang, the

famous painters of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult to find that the

maids and ladies in the paintings are not obese at all. The nine palace ladies

in the middle, surrounded by Li Shimin, walked slowly, some of them carried

elbows, some of them with umbrellas, and some of them with 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 from their figures, they are really very slim. The woman in

Zhong is probably due to a more noble status and a slightly older age. She is

slightly plump, but her standing posture is all graceful, light as a spring

breeze blowing willows. There is no doubt that their figures can be described

as "slim".

Regarding Concubine Yang, there is a record of body fat and fear of heat in

the literature. For example, saying that she "has always had a body, but the

summer is bitter and hot." However, Concubine Yang's "vegetarian body" is by

no means as obese as people say today. At most, it's just a little muscular,

which is the "slightly muscular" mentioned above.

A person who is good at dancing usually has to move his limbs. It is normal to

have some muscles. Concubine Yang's fear of fever is not because she is obese,

but because of her physique. It is recorded that Yang Guifei “every hangover

first disappears, it is bitter and lung-heat”, and she often goes to the back

garden alone in the early morning to ** floral dew and nourish her throat.

In order to moisturize the lungs, Concubine Yang takes a piece of refreshing

jade fish in her mouth every summer.

And there is no historical record to show that Concubine Yang was favored by

Emperor Ming Emperor because of her obesity or plumpness. Both the old and new

biography of Concubine Yang records that the main reason for Concubine Yang's

favor is that she is "very good. Specifically, they include: "good at singing

and dancing, Xiaoxiao melody, wise calculation, vigilant, welcoming and

enlightening", that is, with literary and artistic expertise, clever and

understanding.

In addition, the poem Du Fu's description in a poem, "the state is strong and

the meaning is far-flung and true, the texture is fine and the flesh is

uniform", that is, gorgeous, dignified, temperament, and delicate skin. The

actual situation is that Tang Minghuang did not appreciate the muscles of

Concubine Yang.

As mentioned above, once Tang Minghuang was in the Baihuayuan Temple to read.

After seeing it, Concubine Yang asked him what book he was reading. Tang

Minghuang smiled and said, "Don't ask. You will feel uncomfortable if you know

it."

Concubine Yang grabbed the book and saw that it read: "Emperor Han Cheng won a

Feiyan, and he was too light to win the wind. For fear of it floating, the

emperor would sing and dance to make a crystal plate and make the palace

people palm...". At this time Tang Minghuang joked to her and said: "You can

withstand the wind more than her." Concubine Yang refused to accept it, and

said very confidently that she surpassed Zhao Feiyan.

During Li Bai's enshrinement to the Hanlin, three poems were written by

decree, singing the beauty of Concubine Yang and the court life at that time.

The second poem is dedicated to the beauty of Concubine Yang, the poem says:

A branch of red Yanlu Ningxiang ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Yunyu Wushan is in vain.

If you ask Han Palace, who is it? Poor Feiyan leans on new makeup.

The poem compares Concubine Yang to a peony and Zhao Feiyan. If Concubine Yang

is really obese, and Zhao Feiyan can constitute a sharp contrast between

fatness and thinness, then this comparison is a mockery and disobedience. It

is very possible that Concubine Yang herself also admired Zhao Feiyan and

would like others to compare herself to Zhao Feiyan. It is said that Concubine

Yang has the nickname "Fat Handmaid", which is probably a curse on her by

people who are jealous and hate her. This shows that people at that time never

regarded obesity as beauty.

The most interesting is Bai Juyi's two poems, "The fat horse walks fast, the

prostitute can sing and dance". The horse is fat for beauty, but the cabaret

is slender and tall. The obesity of prostitutes is simply an unforgivable

shortcoming. The famous poet Du Mu met a relatively fat prostitute in Shaanxi,

who was a bar girl, and he immediately wrote a poem that was extremely

satirical and ugly. Please see:

Pangu had a great grandson at that time, and Shang Ling is present today.

A cart of white clay is used to make up the mud items, and ten red flags are

used to make up for the damage.

Every walk in Waguan Temple, there are palm marks in front of Huayue Mountain.

There is no need to be melancholy and difficult to marry, and ask Le Kun about

the book.

All indications indicate that the Tang people’s claims of obesity as beauty

are lack of empirical evidence, and it is still the first year of Zhenguan,

less than ten years after the founding of Datang, even if the Tang Dynasty has

a trend of obesity as beauty, it must be Not fully formed, at least the eldest

grandson Queen and Princess Changle are not obese people, and they are still

very slim.

"Wocao, there is a problem here~!"

Li Zexuan murmured to himself, he also suddenly thought of the grandson

empress he had met, and then realized that people are not obese as beautiful

at this time, otherwise the grandson empress could not be so thin~!
