Yang Yuhuan ()
Imperial consort
Cultural legacy
Yang was known for having a full and
fleshy gure, which was a much sought-
after quality at the time. She was often
compared and contrasted with Empress
Zhao Feiyan, the wife of Emperor Cheng of
Han, because Yang was known for her full
build while Empress Zhao was slender.
This led to the Four-character idiom
yanshou-huanfei (simplied Chinese:
; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin:
ynshu-hunfi, literally "slender Yan,
plump Huan"), describing the physical
range of the types of beauties. Lychee
was a favorite fruit for Yang, and the
emperor had the fruit, which was only
grown in southern China, delivered by the
imperial courier's fast horses, whose
riders would take shifts day and night in a
Pony Express-like manner, to the capital.
(Most historians believe the fruits were
delivered from modern Guangdong, but
some believe they came from modern
Sichuan.) A copy of the outline of her right
hand still exists, having been carved on a
large stone at the site of the Xi'an
Palace.[7] Yang was also granted use of
the Huaqing Pool which had been the
exclusive private pool of previous Tang
emperors.
