Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) has been commonly recognized as the most economically and politically prosperous time in Chinese history. However, when you look at the Fei Tian features painted in Tang Dynasty, you will surprisingly find out that they are most over-weighted. In the paintings, this over-weighted character was described as double or triple chins, some layers on tummy, and fatty but lovely hands and toes. You would not believe that people in Tang Dynasty thought an over-weighted female body was actually very beautiful. That was a remarkable aesthetic point of view. To think how many ladies were freed from the worry about their body shapes. Looking at the Fei Tian features in Tang Dynasty, you can tell there is content from inside on their faces. Over-weighted, yet beautifully, these Fei Tian features declared that it was more important to have a kind heart and peaceful mind, nothing else mattered. Who needed Feminism under that kind of social environment; who needed to be jealous of a skinny body; who needed to worry about their physical appearance at all?
