Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 585: Don’t the Tang people regard fat as beauty~?


The next day.

Li Zexuan had breakfast and came to Yunshan early, only to meet 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 but ask.

The last time he came to Yunshan, when Li Zexuan invited a group of students in the school to eat, he heard a few students talk about Meng Wenhao, saying that he was working as a cashier in a grain shop, earning money to subsidize the family, so he didn’t follow They came to Yunshan together. Li Zexuan understood this at the time. In his previous life, he himself had worked during the vacation, so he was not blamed on Meng Wenhao.

"Sir~! You are here~! The student just came here the day before yesterday~! Please don't blame me for being late~!"

Meng Wenhao saw Li Zexuan coming in and hurriedly got up and said hello.

Yan Shaoning interjected in angrily: "Look at your students, none of them are more active than you. Someone was sitting on the fairy lamp dangling in Chang'an City a few days ago, it's so easy~!" /

Li Zexuan said speechlessly: "I was to prove to everyone that I did not brag~? Not for my personal enjoyment~? To some extent, I was also for the future development of Yanhuang Academy~!" /

Yan Shaoning curled his lips and said: "Yes~! You have a lot of wrong reasons~! But you are a student who is really good~! Not only is you a good hand at settling accounts, but also, the charm is really not ordinary~!" /

Li Zexuan was confused, and he didn't know why he said: "What do you mean~?"

Meng Wenhao blushed and said quickly: "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 the Huji grain shop, you, the student, not only defeated the original ones with mathematics Four of the accountants, and when they left, they almost abducted their 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 is quite accustomed to Li Zexuan's detached temperament. He also sat down and began to tell Li Zexuan about Meng Wenhao's "love affair."

So, two big men in the room sat together and started chatting gossip, but a young man and a half was fidgeting awkwardly beside him.

Half a quarter of an hour later, after learning the whole story, Li Zexuan got up and laughed and said, "Wenhao, you kid can do it~! I have not graduated yet, so I'll learn how to make girls~! Haha~! Not bad~! "

Meng Wenhao is very embarrassed. Although he doesn't know what "sister" means, he can guess an idea. He said: "Sir, the students just want to use what they have learned to make some change, and No intention to provoke anyone~!"

Li Zexuan waved his hand again and again and said, "Hehe~! You don't need to explain to the teacher, you still believe in your character as a teacher. But why don't you kid accept Miss Hu's mind~?"

"Um~! 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...just a slightly plump body, 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 yet~!"

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

"That's 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 their beauty~! It stands to reason that since Miss Hu's facial features are not bad, but her body is slightly plump, such a woman should be more popular with people nowadays, but looking at them now, it's obviously not the same thing~!

Yan Shaoning said with disgust, "Go~! Who said I like plump girls~? I haven't seen your kid like this~! Why do we have to like this~? Wenhao, you like this. Is it~?"

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

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

He remembered correctly, he was just misled.

In previous lives, people in the Tang Dynasty examined the saying that women "being obese as beauty" has been around for a long time and has 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 were able to eat and wear warmly, and keep healthy Physique; the culture of the Tang Dynasty is open, all-encompassing, wide-hearted and fat body; the royal family of the Tang Dynasty has a humble blood, which makes them naturally love women with strong physique...

In fact, this statement is wrong, at least not accurate.

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.

Actually, if you look closely at the famous Tang Dynasty painters Yan Liben and Zhou Fang, it is not difficult to find that the court ladies and ladies in the paintings are not obese at all. Among the nine palace ladies, surrounded by Li Shimin, they walked slowly, some of them were carrying elbows, some were wearing umbrellas, and some were holding 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 slim. The woman in the middle is probably due to a more noble status and a slightly older age. She is slightly plump, but her standing posture is graceful and graceful, light as a spring breeze blowing willows. There is no doubt that their figures can be described as "slim".

As for Concubine Yang, there are records in the literature that she is fat and fearful of heat. For example, say 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. According to records, Yang Guifei “every hangover first disappears, it is bitter and lung-heat.” She often went to the back garden alone in the early morning to **** floral dew to moisturize her throat. In order to moisturize the lungs, Concubine Yang takes a piece of cool 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 has "good aptitude". Specifically, they include: "good at singing and dancing, melody, and wise calculation, vigilant, welcoming and enlightening", that is, with literary and artistic expertise, clever and understanding.

Added to the description of the poem Du Fu 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 on Concubine Yang.

It is said that once Emperor Ming Emperor Tang was in the Baihuayuan Temple to look at it, Concubine Yang saw it and 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 flying swallow, and his body was too light. 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.

Li Bai wrote three poems by decree during the enshrinement of Hanlin, singing the beauty of Concubine Yang and the court life at that time. The second one is devoted to the beauty of Concubine Yang, the poem says:

A branch of Hongyanlu Ningxiang~IndoMTL.com~Yunyu Wushan is in vain.

Who would like to ask Han Palace? 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 form a stark contrast between fatness and thinness, then this kind of comparison is mocking 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 of "fat maid", which is probably a kind of 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 horse will walk fast, the prostitute can sing and dance". The horse is fat for beauty, but the cabaret is better for thin 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 distant grandson at that time, and Shang Ling is today.

A cart of white clay was used to make the mud item, and ten red flags were used to make up for the damage.

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

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

All signs indicate that the Tang people’s claim that obesity is beauty is lack of evidence, and this is the first year of Zhenguan, and the establishment of the Tang Dynasty is less than ten years ago. Even if the Tang Dynasty has a trend of obesity as beauty, now It must have not been fully formed, at least the grandson empress and princess Changle are not obese people, and they are still very slim.

"Wocao, there is a problem here~!"

Li Zexuan muttered to himself, he also suddenly thought of the empress grandson he had met, and then realized that people are not obese as beautiful at this time, otherwise the empress grandson could not be so thin~!
