Is Wu Zetian thin or fat? What does Wu Zetian look like?

Tang is fat as beauty: Wu Zetian was a talented person at the beginning, and then Zhaoyi. So for fat.

I think she's skinny every day, and she knows how fat she is.

I think it's skinny and too busy. All day long.

Whether fat or thin, Wu Zetian is beautiful.

There is no record in the history books, but it is certain that Wu Zetian looks very dignified, and the "Book of the Former Tang Dynasty" says that Wu Zetian is "beautiful posture", you must know that the "Book of the Former Tang Dynasty" is the official history, and the official history is based on fairness and objectivity, not everyone's beauty can be recorded by history, it can be seen that Wu Zetian is quite beautiful.

Wu Zetian's face has a rough outline: a wide forehead, a goose egg face, and big eyes.

The portrait of Wu Zetian (not painted in modern times), Wu Zetian wearing a phoenix crown is widely circulated, which is an exaggeration, which is obviously the style of the empress of the Ming Dynasty. At present, the more recognized is the queen described in Zhang Xuan's "Tang Hou Xing Congtu", which is most likely Wu Zetian himself.

The Journey from the Tang Dynasty was written by the Tang Dynasty court painter Zhang Xuan, describing the scene of Wu Zetian's travel, and this painting has long been lost. According to the "Xuanhe Painting Spectrum" records that the hail was buried, Zhang Xuan once painted five pieces of "Tang Dynasty Queen's Journey", and the current surviving ones are likely to have been copied in the Song Dynasty.

Dragon eyes and phoenix neck", it means that Wu Zetian has big eyes and a thin neck, according to Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu", Wu Zetian's neck was born with a "long bend and a sail neck show", and his skin quality is good. "Fang Forehead Guangyi" means that Wu Zetian has a brain and a goose egg face. Therefore, Wu Zetian will not be a melon seed face beauty, but a square forehead with a square face, and her appearance is more dignified and rich, and Yin Qi will also have a special temperament.

There is a passage in the "New Tang Book" that can be used as evidence of Wu Zetian in the eyes of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. "In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Taizong heard that the scholar was beautiful, and he was called a talented person, Fang 14. ......After seeing the emperor, he was given the name 'Wu Mei'.

The meaning of this sentence in the New Tang Dynasty Book is very clear, Tang Taizong Li Shimin heard that the daughter of the warrior Tong family was very beautiful, so he called for talent. The key is that as soon as he saw her, Tang Taizong Li Shimin gave him a name - "Mei Niang". Mei Niang's meaning is roughly the meaning of a good child (similar to a good girl like "Xiaofang").

In the eyes of Wu Zetian's copywriter Cui Rong, the image of the empress is "strange and moony, and the heart is full of springs." "Good guy, Cui Rong thinks that Wu Zetian is the appearance of the monarch of the world, and his appearance has the beauty of the closed moon, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary people. "The Book of Mourning".

In this text summarizing the life of Empress Wu Zetian, Cui Rong exerted unparalleled copywriting skills, with gorgeous words and flying literary brilliance, "To Zai Kunde, sink into Gangke." The strange phase of the moon is gone, and the heart is plugged.

Wu Zetian's facial features are exquisite, and his demeanor is majestic and kind.

Wu Cao [zhào] (624 December 16, 705), also known as Wu Zetian, was a native of Wenshui (present-day Wenshui County, Shanxi Province). A statesman from the Tang Dynasty to the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the founding monarch of the Wu Zhou Dynasty (reigned 690-705), and the only orthodox female emperor in Chinese history, the oldest (67 years old) and one of the longest-lived emperors (82 years old).

In the first year of Tianzhu (690), Wu Zetian was called the emperor, changed the name of the country to Zhou, set the capital of Luoyang, called "Shendu", and established Wu Zhou. Before and after his reign, he was "discerning and decisive", having more power and strategy, knowing people and being good at their duties, attaching importance to the selection of talents, and creating a system of palace examinations, martial arts examinations and trial officials.

He also rewarded farmers and reformed the rule of officials. At the same time, the Tang Dynasty clan was wantonly killed, and the "cool official politics" arose. Militarily, the four towns of Anxi were recovered and stabilized, and the Later Turks surrendered for a time. In his later years, he gradually became extravagant and arbitrary, and gradually developed maladministration.

Of course Wu Zetian is very beautiful, we don't dare to say if she is beautiful, at that time, Tang Taizong recruited her into the palace because of her beauty, but what does Wu Zetian look like? There is no record in the historical data, so the current experts have two speculations: one speculation is that it is because the history books record that her daughter Princess Taiping looks like "Fang Forehead Guangyi".

"Forehead" means the forehead, which is very square, and "Guangyi" means that the chin is very wide, and "square forehead Guangyi". Then the historical records recorded that this Taiping princess is very similar to her mother and very similar to Wu Zetian, so it means that Wu Zetian should also be "Fang Guangyi". Speculating from this theory, some people believe that there is a Fengxian Temple in the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang now, and the main deity in the Fengxian Temple is called Lushena Buddha, and this Buddha is sculpted according to the appearance of Wu Zetian.

Why? Because this grotto was completed in the second year of the last century, when we saw the first year of the last yuan, Wu Zetian was named the queen of heaven, and this grotto was built by Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian donated 20,000 guan fat powder money to build this grotto, so it is very likely that the Lushena Buddha in this grotto was shaped according to Wu Zetian's appearance.

Let's take a look at whether it is a square forehead, it seems that the forehead is very wide, the square forehead is wide, and she is still relatively beautiful, not that she is beautiful, she has a kind of let's take a look at her details, this is the first speculation of experts who study Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian may look like this. In addition, there is another one, that is, there is a Huangze Temple in Guangyuan, Sichuan, and the Huangze Temple is speculated to be Wu Zetian back then, and it was built to commemorate Wu Zetian. In 1954, a stele was unearthed there, and it was clearly written that this temple was Wu Zetian's family temple.

Therefore, there is a Maitreya reincarnation statue in this temple, and some people think that this is shaped according to Wu Zetian's appearance, so this Maitreya reincarnation statue is now called Wu Zetian's true face stone carving. Of course it was when she was old, it was supposed to be when she was old, and now the image has been retouched. Everyone doesn't know if there is anyone from Guangyuan, but after she retouches, it is ugly and looks very new, this was taken decades ago, but it is more real.

This is obviously done according to a real person, and it doesn't look like a bodhisattva. Of course, what Wu Zetian looks like, we can only speculate, maybe after the excavation of Qianling in the future, there will be some information in it that can prove what Wu Zetian looks like.

The earliest record of revealing Wu Zetian's appearance is the legend of "Yuan Tiangang's face", Yuan Tiangang looked at Wu Zetian, who was "still in swaddling clothes" and "dressed **", and gave some definite words called "Sun Horn Dragon Face", "Dragon Eyes and Phoenix Neck", "Fuxi Appearance". But none of us have seen the eyes of the dragon and the neck of the phoenix, Fu Xi is the king of ancient mythology, and his appearance is even more mysterious, so Yuan Shenxian's words are equivalent to not saying. Cui Rong, the son of the country who had revised the "Zetian Shilu", wrote for Wu Zetian after his death in the "Mourning Book of the Great Sage Empress of Zetian", which has such adjectives about Wu Zetian's appearance and personality traits, "To Zai Kunde, sink into Gangke."

The strange phase of the moon is gone, and the heart is plugged. The sentence that directly describes her appearance is "strange phase of the moon", but what kind of beauty is this "strange phase of the moon", just like the adjectives such as "sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and shy flowers", we are still confused when we read it. However, we can still know a little about Wu Zetian's appearance from some other documents.

It's hard for me to verify. However, giving birth to a male like a father and giving birth to a female like a mother, we can infer Wu Zetian through the physical records of Princess Taiping.

Chubby charm, because the Tang Dynasty people were beautiful in terms of aesthetics, and judging from her portrait, it is indeed so.

Maybe ...... ordinary looksBut the personality charm was ahead of time, so both emperors were fascinated ......Why must those who are fascinated by the emperor have to be beautiful women......

Bright and delicate, plump body, autumn water in the eyes, face like the morning glow, green silk high, light can chisel shadow, the country and the city, Chu Chu moving, strong personality.

"Strange Phases and Moons" means that Wu Zetian has a very good appearance and has the life of being a human king;

"dragon eyes and phoenix neck", which means that Wu Zetian's eyes are big and spirited, and his neck is slender;

square forehead Guangyi", which means that Wu Zetian's forehead is square and his cheeks are larger.

The square forehead has a square face, and the appearance is relatively dignified and rich, and there will be a special temperament. Combined with the plot of Yuan Tiangang who misjudged her gender when she met back then, Wu Zetian is a woman with a bit of a male appearance, or Wu Zetian is a very woman who reveals a man's majesty - this is very consistent with the aesthetic standards of women in the Tang Dynasty who regarded fat as beauty, advocated masculinity and generosity, and were not favored by slimness and femininity.

Note: From Wu Zetian's appearance test by Ni Fangliu).

It can't always be that only men are strong!

Wu Zetian is a big head, big cheeks, a slightly plump body, and a wide forehead. In the history books, it is said that Wu Zetian has big eyes, a long neck, and a very distinctive appearance, and her height is about the same, and she is a beauty that meets the aesthetic standards of the Tang Dynasty.

An ancient painting and documentary records are enough to show that according to the "Old Tang Book", Wu Zetian's daughter Princess Taiping is very similar to her, and the princess is rich and has a wide forehead. "New Words of the Tang Dynasty" also recorded: dragon eyes and phoenix necks, extremely expensive.

Let's look at the reason why she was summoned to the palace in the first place, it is because of her beauty, it can be seen that Wu Zetian's appearance should be more in line with the aesthetics of the Tang people.

The ancient paintings included in the "Portrait Praise of the Ancients of the Past Dynasties" also corroborate this, and I saw Wu Zetian's face on it was plump, with red eyebrows and phoenix eyes. Wu Zetian's innocent appearance in "Tang Houxing Congtu" is not bad, the specific size is one foot two inches long, two inches and four minutes wide, this gold slip is still in the Henan Museum, and Wu Zetian's height should be about one meter six or seven when converted.

Wu Zetian is the second daughter of the governor of Jingzhou. At the age of fourteen, he entered the harem and was a talented person of Tang Taizong and was given the name "Wu Mei". Tang Gaozong was crowned Zhaoyi, and Yonghui became the queen in the sixth year after the "Abolition of Wang Liwu" incident.

In the first year of the Shangyuan Dynasty (674), he was called "Queen of Heaven", and was called "Two Sages" together with Gaozong, and participated in the government. After the death of Gaozong, as the empress dowager of Tang Zhongzong and Tang Ruizong, he was in charge of the dynasty.
