According to legend, Zhao is good at walking, and his light posture can dance in the palm of a person's hand. His dancing skill has reached the level of "walking well, shaking with flowers in his hand, others can't learn". When Emperor Hancheng first saw her in Princess Yang A, he was immediately fascinated by her beautiful appearance, charming eyes, beautiful voice and graceful posture, and couldn't wait to take her back to the palace. However, Emperor Han Chengdi was not satisfied with this. Zhao's sister Zhao Hede is also very beautiful, gentle and charming, and even Zhao is ashamed.
Emperor Cheng ordered them to be recruited into the palace, and the sisters were all Jieyu, so they paid great attention to the harem. This is the origin of the allusion of "flying swallow and combining virtue" in today's textbooks. Zhao's thinness also had a great relationship with the aesthetic preferences of the society at that time. It seems that only the Tang Dynasty was fat in China for five thousand years. There is a saying in the Han Dynasty that "the king of Chu has a thin waist and many people in the palace are hungry". Later generations created a large number of literary and artistic works about Zhao, the most important of which was her graceful posture and exquisite dancing skills. Zhao Chuanqi's life made her enjoy a high artistic reputation in history, and she became a rare woman who stayed in history books. Even though she didn't surpass Yang Guifei, it is undeniable that she made great contributions to the history of ancient dance in China.
