What they say

Zhang Guogang, professor of history at Tsinghua University: "As we can see from the frescoes, even though hair was often tied up and necklines were low, it (cleavage in the Tang Dynasty) is not like how it's purposefully squeezed together in the television dramas."

Psychological counselor Xiao Xueping: Most of the reviewers are men and perhaps they envy the attractiveness of women’s secondary sexual characteristics, because theirs (referring to the Adam‘s apple) are relatively less so. The issue could have been solved by changing the times of broadcast and not completely removing the scenes.
