It is generally believed that Liu Haisu, the master artist, was the first artist to use mannequins in China before 1920, and Chen was hired as the first nude model in the history of China. However, this is not the case. The earliest nude female model in the history of China can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. She is Tao Wangqing, the concubine of Wang Hui of Guang Chuan in the Western Han Dynasty. It is the earliest nude model recorded in China. But it is precisely because of Tao Wangqing's behavior that he brought himself a terrible death.

Tao Wangqing, whose birth and death date is unknown, is a beautiful woman in the Western Han Dynasty, with a small jasper, delicate facial features, slim figure, beautiful youth and a fairy-like appearance. As a princess, she married Liu Quqiang, the then king of Guang Chuan. According to Hanshu, Liu Qu named Tao Wangqing as Mrs. Xiumei, in charge of silks and satins. Zhao Xin after Liu Qu is a very famous narrow-minded and vicious woman in history. When she saw that Liu Qu loved Tao Wangqing, she often vilified Tao Wangqing in front of Liu Qu.

Once, Tao Wangqing found a painter who painted himself naked in the bedroom for daily self-appreciation. However, this incident made Zhao Xinhuang, who had many eyes and ears in the palace, know that he had seized a good opportunity and began to falsely accuse Tao Wangqing in front of Liu Qu:' Previously, the painter went to Tao Wangqing's residence to paint her, and Tao Wangqing leaned on him naked to wipe powder and flatter him. Tao Wangqing also went to the south study room many times to spy on young and beautiful officials. I suspect that there is an affair between them. Liu Qu believed such a false accusation.

Sure enough, Liu Qu thundered and ordered Yangcheng Zhao Xin to lead a group of concubines to Tao Wangqing's house, stripped her naked, beat her first, and ordered other concubines to burn the county seat of Tao Wangqing with red-hot iron bars. Tao Wangqing wailed for survival, threw himself into the well, and Zhao Xin was rescued in despair. Rescue is not to spare her, but to make her more miserable.

According to historical records, after saving Tao Wangqing's life, Zhao Xin ordered more cruel means to deal with Tao Wangqing, such as tongue and lips. Then Zhao Xin felt that this was not enough, so he directly threw Tao Wangqing into the boiling cauldron, added the so-called peach ash and poison, and cooked this peerless Maggie alive.

As the old saying goes,' A needle on a bee's tail is the most poisonous to a woman's heart.' A narrow-minded woman burned by the fire of jealousy is extremely cruel and terrible. Poor Tao Wangqing was tortured to death for drawing nude pictures. Yi sou thinks that although Tao Wangqing was later forced to death by her husband, it is undeniable that she dared to become the first female nude model in China history.
