She's a Beauty 唐美人


It's hard to imagine that once upon a time in China, fat women were considered beautiful. Imperial Concubine Yang (楊貴妃 718A.D. - 755 A.D.) must be the fattest one among the long list of all Chinese concubines. I wonder how fat she actually was. Too bad that there's never a record of her official weight.
