Through film and television dramas, we have all seen Wu Zetian's extremely high face value, which made many emperors and generals prostrate themselves under her pomegranate skirt. So what is the real Wu Zetian like in history?

According to historical documents, Wu Zetian is a big head and big cheeks. If the oval face and awl face are popular now, my friends, Wu Zetian belongs to the Tang Dynasty! Fat was the beauty in the Tang Dynasty, and each dynasty had different aesthetics, so the emperor liked girls with big faces. Historically, Wu Zetian wore big glasses, a long neck, a distinctive appearance and moonlight in her eyes.

So is there anything that can match the real appearance of Wu Zetian? According to historical records, the Lushena Buddha in Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang was carved according to the appearance of Wu Zetian. Lushenafo means to shine, much like Wu Zhao of Wu Zetian. Therefore, some people think that Lushenafo itself also provides clues for the emergence of Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian carved the Rushna Buddha with 20,000 silver at that time, so everyone must go and see the Buddha when they have the chance!

The height of Rushena Buddha is 17. 14m, the head is 4m, and the ear length is1.9m. ..

This is Wu Zetian's square forehead and generosity. Very substantial, very rich. Legend has it that it was carved according to the appearance of Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, and the locals also called it "the statue of Wu Zetian".
