In the past, Zhao Feiyan stood out from the crowd of beauties by virtue of her palm dance, and became a beauty that has been passed down through the ages. In the Tang Dynasty, the poem "The Song of the Han Palace" depicted Zhao Feiyan's slender figure and extremely lithe posture, and her steps were as if she was flying.

There is a beautiful woman in the south of the country, dancing with a light green waist. The Chinese banquet was held in the fall of the year, and the flying shirts brushed the clouds and rain. Fluttering as orchid camphor, as graceful as a swimming dragon lifting. The Vietnamese women have been in front of the river, and the Wu women have been using Boehmeria nivea.
This song by Li Qunyu of the Tang Dynasty, "Dancing at the East Tower on the Ninth Day of Changsha," depicts the softness, charm, and slenderness of the dancers to the fullest. It can also be seen that song and dance occupy a very high position in cultural life.
