Extended information
The idiom of "as light as a swallow" comes from Zhao Feiyan, who, according to legend, has a slim figure and a light, graceful body, and dances as if she were a swallow.
Zhao Feiyan is the *** of Princess Yanga's family, with a delicate face and a lithe body. In history, there is a "swallow thin ring fat", Yan, is Zhao Feiyan; ring, is the Tang Xuanzong's consort Yang Yuhuan. Once, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty "micro line" through the home of Princess Yang A, Princess feast hospitality, called out a few beautiful women singing and dancing to help. The emperor saw one of the bright and colorful girl, singing and dancing, and could not help but be swayed, so he begged the princess to give Feiyan to herself, and brought her back to the palace, so that she could become the new owner of the Zhaoyang Palace.
Zhao Feiyan's father was Feng Wanjin, who was a servant in the King of Jiangdu's mansion. He had an affair with the King's granddaughter, Gusu, and gave birth to two twin sisters, Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Heide. Because the princess was married to Zhao Man, a lieutenant of Jiangsu Province, the sisters took the surname Zhao. When they grew up, they were sold to the house of Zhao Lin, the family of the Princess of Yang'a, to learn singing and dancing, and because of their lightness, the elder sister gained the title of "Feiyan".
After Empress Xu was deposed, Zhao Feiyan became the new empress for various reasons. In order to please the new empress, Emperor Cheng ordered the craftsmen to build a magnificent imperial boat, called the "Palace Boat", in the Taiyi Pond of the palace.
One day, Emperor Cheng took Fei Yan with him to enjoy the scenery. Feiyan was wearing a cloudy purple dress and light raw silk from South Vietnam, and she sang the song "Returning to the Phoenix" and danced on the other side, and Emperor Cheng made his retainer Feng Wufang play the pianoforte to match Feiyan's songs and dances. When the boat reached the middle of the river, a fierce wind arose and almost blew down Zhao Feiyan, who was as light as a swallow. Feng Wufang, on the order of Emperor Cheng, threw down his musical instrument and dragged the empress by her feet, while Feiyan continued to sing and dance. Since then, the palace has been rumored that "Feiyan can dance on the palm of her hand".
