How did Yang Guifei gain the favor of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang

It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, being fat was considered beautiful, but there seems to be no exact standard for this “fat”, after all, what we modern people call “fat” has already deviated from mainstream aesthetics. So we consider the Tang Dynasty to appreciate the “slightly chubby” physique, but Yang Guifei is not tall and weighs over a hundred. Why did she still receive the favor of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang? Actually, many people may have doubts after reading Yang Guifei’s introduction. Perhaps Yang Guifei is really one of the few beautiful “fat people” in the world.
There have been four great beauties in history, but with history, Yang Guifei should be the most beautiful woman.
Bai Juyi’s song ‘Song of Everlasting Regret’ elevated Yang Guifei to the position of the most beautiful woman.
Listen to his poems, “Spring cold bestows a bath in a clear pool, hot spring water washes away condensed fat” and “When a servant lifts up a delicate and powerless woman, it is the time to receive new blessings”, depicting a beautiful woman with skin like snow and a graceful figure.
But later generations also said that the Tang Dynasty regarded obesity as beauty. There are also historical records that state a height of 159 centimeters and a weight of 140 pounds. Of course, there must be some misunderstanding here. It’s probably a matter of converting units. Otherwise, with such a figure, no matter which dynasty, generation, or aesthetic perspective it belongs to, it cannot be considered a beauty.
Of course, Yang Guifei’s beauty lies mainly in her face. Yang Guifei’s face is truly more beautiful than flowers. Moreover, Yang Guifei also had a certain Hu bloodline, which was the main reason why Tang Xuanzong was mesmerized by the eerie beauty of her mixed blood.
The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty with an open atmosphere, and it was not the submissive little women that it liked, but the elegant and graceful women who represented health, vitality, vigor, and a tolerant mentality. And Yang Guifei’s greatest skill is the Hu Xuan dance. Think about it, a mixed race beauty with Hu blood, wearing a skirt with a big skirt and dancing the Hu Xuan dance, what a beautiful scene it would be.
Of course, the most important thing for Yang Yuhuan to monopolize the harem is her innocent temperament. Being like Wu Zetian would cause chaos in the harem, but Yang Yuhuan wouldn’t. She is just a girl with a natural and innocent nature.
Of course, the ultimate death of Yang Guifei on Mawei Slope marked the end of the entire prosperous Tang Dynasty.
