To give a few examples, ancient emperors who were able to sit on the throne were all powerful and lucky. Emperors in history are well dressed, and a few portraits and descriptions can prove that they are fat. Zhu Gaochi, the emperor of Emperor Renzong of Ming Dynasty, was described as short and fat in history, so he could intuitively know that the emperor was a fat man. Unofficial history recorded a joke about his obesity. Zhu Gaochi went to visit his mother, but he was too fat, so he knelt down. Most of the ancient generals were fat, and they were fat for nothing. It's hard to see the type of male chauvinism, don't you believe it Look for famous paintings handed down by ancient generals, or look through high school history books. Don't think that painters at that time deliberately painted so fat. In fact, they are such obese people. Han Xin in the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms Period, Zheng Chenggong in the Ming Dynasty and so on. Not only military commanders, but also civil servants have gained weight. Fat was beautiful in the Tang Dynasty, not only for women like Yang Guifei, but also for men.
The above examples are all "famous fat people" in history. The ancients thought that being fat was a blessing. There were indeed many fat people in ancient times, but this was also relative to the dynasties. Needless to say, in the Tang Dynasty, being fat was beauty. At that time, people's aesthetic concept also led to this phenomenon. Aesthetics has influenced people's living habits, and there are also periods in history when there are relatively few fat people. Wei and Jin dynasties, this is an era rich in beautiful men, when men's aesthetic tendency. Pan An, a famous handsome man, lived in this period, and his figure is well-proportioned in history books, which shows that he is not only beautiful, but also beautiful. According to the current aesthetic point of view, such adjectives were not suitable for men, but they were "popular" at that time.
There were quite a few fat people in ancient times. Under the background of the times, various factors interact, including handsome guys and fat people. Obesity is a variable. There are so many fat people in contemporary society, if you want to lose weight. Presumably there was no difference in ancient times. I think fat or thin depends on the aesthetic standards and personal physique at that time, just like some people in modern society deliberately lost weight and the Tang Dynasty flourished.
The above is just a personal opinion, if there are any shortcomings, don't take it amiss.
