Looking back at Hua Qing Palace Chang 'an, there are piles of embroidery, and thousands of doors are opening at the top of the mountain. As soon as I rode on the smile of smoke and smoke, no one knew that the fresh fruit litchi was sent from the south. Litchi sighed that Su Shi had a flying dust in ten miles, and a soldier in five miles was urged by fire. I know it's pear branches and longan branches. Flying over the mountains and seas, the leaves and branches of the wind are as fresh as new ones. Palace beauty a broken face, the court shocked, blood shed.

Rain is good for gold, but people are not hungry or cold. Look at the millet buds by Wuyi Creek, which grow in front and grow in cages in Cai Xiang.

The story of Yang Guifei eating litchi, specifically, Yang Guifei, who loves 3,000 yuan, was born in Sichuan (Shanxi) and likes to eat litchi in eastern Sichuan since childhood. Later, she found that litchi in Guangxi and Guangdong tasted better, and the court specially arranged Lingnan area to pay tribute to litchi every year for the imperial concubine to enjoy.
Because Tang Xuanzong loved Yang Guifei, he naturally tried his best to satisfy her preferences. Eat litchi, and eat fresh litchi-this important issue has also been put on the table. At that time, the distance from Lingnan, which was rich in litchi, to Chang 'an was more than 2 100 kilometers.
Litchi is not easy to preserve. In the Tang Dynasty without modern means of transportation, it was very difficult to transport litchi from the south to Chang 'an by flying horse. However, in order to please Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty made people ride fast horses and transported litchi from Lingnan for seven days and seven nights to Chang 'an from thousands of miles away for Yang Guifei to enjoy.
Extended information Yang Yuhuan was born in an official family in early June of the seventh year of Kaiyuan (7 19). His great grandfather, Wang Yang, was a minister of the Sui Dynasty and was killed by Li Shimin in the early Tang Dynasty. Father Yang Xuanyan was a manager in Zhou Shu; Uncle Yun, originally from Cao, Henan, spent his childhood.
In the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan, Yang Yuhuan, who was about 10 years old, was fostered in his uncle Hsuan Yang's home.
Yang Yuhuan's natural beauty and superior educational environment make her have a certain cultural accomplishment, graceful personality, proficient in temperament, good at singing and dancing, and good at playing the pipa. In Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow, there is such a description: God-given grace, undisguised, was finally elected to the royal family one day.
In July of the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Princess Xianyi, the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, held a wedding in Luoyang, and Yang Yuhuan was also invited to attend. Li Mao, the younger brother of Princess Xianyi, fell in love with Yang Yuhuan at first sight. At the request of Wu Huifei, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wrote a letter asking her to be the shroud princess of that year. After the marriage, the two were very loving.
Wu Huifei died in the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737). Li Mao's mother, Wu Huifei, was the favorite concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and she was treated as a queen in the palace. Xuanzong was unhappy for this. At that time, the harem Qian Qian was absolutely meaningless. Some people suggested that "the courtyards should be full of manners", and Xuanzong called Yang into the harem.
In the 28th year of Kaiyuan (740), in the name of Dou Taihou, the mother of Xuanzong, she wrote a letter to Yang, asking her to become a female Taoist, and signed it "too true".
In the fourth year of Tianbao (745), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty made Wei's daughter longevity a princess, and then became a noble lady. Since Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty abolished the king and queen, Yang Guifei is equivalent to the queen.

The story of Yang Guifei eating litchi The most famous story of litchi is related to beautiful women. One of the four beauties in the history of China is Yang Guifei, the beloved princess of Li Longji in the Tang Dynasty. The love story between Tang and Yang Guifei is a household name in China.
Yang Guifei was born in July19 and now lives in Yongji, Shanxi. She is plump, beautiful, gentle and considerate. She has been proficient in music and dance since childhood. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, she became the princess of Shouwang, the 18th son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Wu Huifei, the favorite of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was very sad after his death. After he saw Yang Guifei, he put her in the palace. She was really beautiful. Accompanied by Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty gradually neglected state affairs.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty indulged in debauchery all day long, Yang Guifei's family was in power for a while, politics became more and more corrupt, and the power of border generals gradually increased, and finally the "Anshi Rebellion" broke out. In 756, Yang Guifei was hanged by soldiers in West Ma Po, Xingping City, Shaanxi Province. The "Anshi Rebellion" lasted for seven years, and the Tang Dynasty began to decline from prosperity.
As one of the four beauties in ancient China, people feel sympathy and regret for Yang Guifei, and the story about her has always been talked about by people. Litchi, a fruit we often eat in summer, is also Yang Guifei's favorite. Du Mu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, told this true story in his poem "Crossing the Qing Palace".
"Chang' an looks back at the embroidered pile, and the top of the mountain opens a thousand times. Riding the world of mortals and laughing, no one knew it was litchi. "Litchi is not easy to preserve. In the Tang Dynasty without modern means of transportation, it was very difficult to transport litchi from the south to Chang 'an by flying horse. However, in order to please Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty made people ride fast horses and transported litchi from Lingnan for seven days and seven nights to Chang 'an from thousands of miles away for Yang Guifei to enjoy. On the way to transport litchi, officers and men are often exhausted. Their hardships are only a smile from Yang Guifei, but people don't know that litchi has arrived, but they think it is urgent.

The drums in Yuyang awakened a night's dream of spring, and Ma Yipo had filled in a desolate rest for Song of Eternal Sorrow. The dead vine and the old tree are faint crows, which are fortunate to be tied with the once-in-a-lifetime sadness.
When Tianbao was middle-aged, he asked An Lushan to do border work, which won the favor of Xuanzong, and made Yang's sisters and An Lushan brother and sister, while Yang Guifei recognized An Lushan as her adopted son. Lushan openly molested Yang Guifei in the name of entering the palace to see his foster mother.
What's the story of Yang Guifei and Litchi? The story of Yang Guifei and Litchi is that Yang Guifei wants to eat Litchi, which is naturally a matter of Tang Xuanzong. Although the road is long and there are many difficulties, it is nothing. Then it is far from the origin of litchi. Litchi is delicious only when it is fresh, but the ancient preservation technology is not enough, so it is too fast, exhausting people and horses.
Writer Su Shi has a poem "Litchi Tan", which describes the scene when Yang Guifei was eating litchi. The poem sighs: "Flying over the mountains and storks crossing the sea, the leaves are like new flowers. The beauty in the palace is broken, and the dust is splashed with blood for thousands of years. " Many people put their lives in the relay races over mountains and mountains again and again, and the result is "shocking dust and spilling blood". At last, litchi came to the palace like a new pick. Mr. Su Lao's poem can be summed up in a vernacular: the litchi that Yang Guifei stuffed into her mouth was soaked with the blood and sweat of others.
The reason why Yang Guifei loves litchi: With the completion of the rescue archaeological excavation of Gao Lishi's tomb, the truth finally came out.
Gao Lishi's Tomb is located in Shanxi Village, Baonan Township, pucheng county, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province. It is the tomb of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Archaeological results show that Gao Lishi, whose real name is Feng, was born in Panzhou (now Maoming, Guangdong) and was sent to the palace in his childhood, giving him a high surname. When studying the epitaph that recorded Gao Lishi's life in detail, experts found by accident that the litchi sent to the palace by Yima for Yang Guifei was a high-quality early-maturing litchi named "White Papaya" produced in Gao Lishi's hometown. This shows that Yang Guifei would never be so interested in Lingnan litchi without Gao Lishi's recommendation. Experts then came to the conclusion that "the imperial concubine loves litchi, which originated from Gao Lishi".
How long did it take Yang Guifei to eat lychee in ancient times? "Chang' an looks back at the embroidered pile, and the top of the mountain is open. When I was riding the world of mortals and laughing, no one knew it was litchi. "Du Mu's famous sentence in Crossing the Qing Palace has spread the reputation of litchi throughout the ages, but few people know how litchi, which is extremely perishable in the Tang Dynasty, was transported from the south to Chang 'an.
Litchi fresh fruit goes bad easily. Bai Juyi said in the preface to litchi pictures that "if you leave this branch, it will change color one day, become fragrant on the second day, become stale on the third day, and lose its fragrance on the fourth and fifth days". As can be seen from historical records, all the dignitaries in ancient north ate fresh fruit. To this end, the "Litchi Road" was specially opened to transport Litchi from south to north. The traditional explanation of "a concubine riding the world of mortals laughs" is that there was no air transport in those days. In order to let Yang Guifei eat fresh litchi with good color and flavor, she had to send someone to change the litchi she had just picked into a fast horse at one stop and send it to Beijing the same day. Therefore, when Yang Guifei saw the dust raised by the fast horse, she knew that someone had brought her her favorite litchi, so she was beaming. But from the common sense, Lingnan is thousands of miles away from Chang 'an, and no matter how fast a horse can arrive in one day. Later generations believed that the fresh lychee that Yang Guifei ate was sent to Chang 'an by transplanting a big tree with fruit. According to historical records, "Litchi with roots was planted in a vessel, and it was transported from Nanchu to Danhe River in Xiangyang, bei chu to Shangzhou and Qinling Mountains, where the boat could not reach. But if the fruit is ripe, it will be picked over the ridge and transported by air to Huaqing official, so it can be reached in one day. " In addition, there are two different views. Some people think that litchi is the earliest fruit stored at low temperature and controlled atmosphere in China. "Guangdong Xinyu" records a method: "In the method of storing litchi, if the tree is harvested well, leave the pedicel one inch and seal it with wax, but cut off the pedicel and seal the cut mouth with wax, and the taste and color will not change after several months." Xu Bo introduced another method in his "Litchi Spectrum": "Villagers often choose bright red, choose giant bamboo to cut a hole in the forest and put it on the Litchi Festival, and still seal the gap with mud-wrapped bamboo rafts, which can be hidden in winter and spring, with the same color and fragrance." An ancient poem about Yang Guifei eating litchi, Tang Du Mu's poem "Crossing Huaqing Palace"
Looking back at Chang 'an, Mount Li is like a pile of splendid scenery, and the gates of Huaqing Palace on the top of the mountain are opened in turn. As soon as I rode on the smile of smoke and smoke, no one knew that the fresh fruit litchi was sent from the south. What about the lychee that Yang Guifei ate? From Sichuan.
According to the traffic conditions at that time, the distance of four or five thousand miles, even if the post was developed in the Tang Dynasty, was close to the limit of horse speed (here, it does not refer to the mileage of a horse every day, but to the total distance that many post horses run in turn);
It will take ten days for litchi to keep fresh; From Sichuan to Chang 'an, the traffic across the Qinling Mountains is just in line with the scenes of "Looking Back at Chang 'an" and "Thousands of doors on the Peak". It only takes two or three days to ensure the freshness of litchi.

The efficacy of litchi:
1 to replenish energy for the body.
Litchi can provide sufficient nutrition for brain tissue, relieve fatigue, improve insomnia and forgetfulness, and achieve the effect of strengthening the body. Litchi pulp is rich in sucrose and glucose, which can supplement the energy needed by the body and increase nutrition, but it can't be eaten on an empty stomach, because fresh litchi has a high sugar content, which will bring a sense of * * * to the gastric mucosa and cause abdominal distension and stomachache.
2. Enhance the immune system function
Litchi meat is rich in vitamin C and protein, which can improve the immune system and enhance the anti-virus and anti-bacterial ability. However, people with litchi fever, dry stools, habitual constipation and excessive internal heat should eat as little as possible. In addition, patients with diabetes, liver and renal insufficiency and gastrointestinal diseases can't eat it. The amount of litchi eaten every day should not exceed 80 grams, which means that it should not exceed 5.
