What a beautiful little account of the Tang dynasty.

Oh what a time to be alive and prosperous!

This is just one facet of observing that golden age, remember, varieties were very common in those years. Even divorce was socially accepted and the ladies could re-married without discrimination, isn’t that awesome !

I wonder how this freedom and advance thinking for women came about at such a time. It must be some amazing story there. If anybody knows, please, do tell me.

Well during the Tang dynasty there was a Female Emperor who ruled for 40 years. Her name is Wu Ze Tian, a brilliant Emperor in her own right tho the men at that time loathed the fact, but couldn't oppose her. I think her influence played a big part in advanced thinking for women.

@@elleem3951 OMG I know of Empress Wu Ze Tian, my idol but I always thought she ruled for only 10 years. (Sorry didn't do in depth research) It's 40 years? Wow! Love her even more. It seems Tang dynasty flourish during her rule. Of course the men are gonna talk crap when women are at the top. It's still the same now, no matter where you are in the world. (talking from experience). Don't ever let peanut brain men stop you from what you want to do. Emperor Wu Ze Tian will always be my role model. Thanks for the reply.💜

The faces of the young girl statues reminding me of 💘 👶🐼 He Hua..😆..In the olden days, voluptuously well rounded figures were always preferred over the skinny sticks figures as Kate Moses's made in 🇺🇸..😂..Just a wild guessing, in the olden days, well rounded representing for wealthy having more foods to eat than normal people's on streets..This concept applied 2 both the East and West cultures according to those movies I watched..Nowsadays, it is the other ways around that women figures were down sizes according to those models measurements from 🆚 or 🐈 runaways..😹😸..

The female did have these kind of freedom in life way back Empress Wu Zetian

Who to say these figure represent beauty back then? May be just maker, model, average person, elites etc...

雕塑而已 並不能代表那時的人長成那樣!

冥器。不能参考现实。。现实。需要判断场合。如清宫就分常服 礼服 朝褂 便服 各种各样。，分布不同年龄段和男女。 生活器。工笔画。才是有价值的参考。
