Yang Yuhuan may have died in the Buddhist hall. "The Biography of Concubine Yang in the Old Book of Tang Dynasty" records: After the Forbidden Army general Chen Xuanli and others killed Yang Guozhong and his son, he believed that "the thieves are still there" and requested to kill Concubine Yang again to avoid future troubles. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to say goodbye to his imperial concubine and "hanged himself in the Buddhist chamber."
Yang Yuhuan may have died in the rebellion. This theory is mainly found in some descriptions in Tang poetry. In the second year of Zhide (AD 757), Du Fu composed a poem "Aijiangtou" in Chang'an, which was occupied by Anlu Mountain. There is a line in it, "Where are the bright eyes and white teeth now? The blood-stained soul cannot return", implying that Concubine Yang is not He was hanged to death in Mawei Station, because there would be no blood in hanging. Li Yi's Qijue "Guo Mawei" and Qilu "Guo Mawei Two Poems" include poems such as "I asked you to wash the lotus blood" and "Taizhen's blood stained the horse's hooves", which also reflects that Yang Guifei was killed by the rebel army. , the scene of death by weapons.
Some people say that she died by swallowing gold. This statement is only found in the poem "Ma Wei Xing" used by Liu Yuxi. Liu's poem once wrote: "The windy road in the green fields, the yellow dust and horses walking wildly, the Yang noble people on the roadside, the tombs are three or four feet high. When I asked the children in the house, they all said that it was fortunate that during the Shu period, the military lords punished the tyrants, and the emperor abandoned them. Enchantress. The nobles are holding the emperor's clothes, turning their beautiful eyes. The wind and the sun are like the sky. The nobles are drinking gold dust, and they are wearing apricot pills all their lives. "From this poem. It seems that Concubine Yang died by swallowing gold. Mr. Chen Yinke was quite curious about this statement and made a textual research in "Yuanbai Poems and Notes".
Some people believe that Concubine Yang did not die in Maweiyi, but lived among the people. Mr. Yu Pingbo made textual research on Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and Chen Hong's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" in "Miscellaneous Works on Poetry, Ci and Music". He believes that the original meaning of Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and Chen Hong's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" have other merits. If "Eternal Hate" is used as the title of the article, it is enough to write it to Mawei Station. Why should we assume later that Linqiong Taoist priest and Jade Concubine are too true? For this reason, Mr. Yu believes that Concubine Yang did not die in Mawei Station. . ?
There is also a theory that Concubine Yang fled to Japan. Japanese folk and academic circles have this view: At that time, it was a maid who was hanged to death in Mawei Station. Chen Xuanli, the general of the Forbidden Army, cherished the beauty of the imperial concubine and could not bear to kill her, so he conspired with Gao Lishi to kill her with his maid. Yang Guifei was escorted by Chen Xuanli's cronies and fled south. She sailed to the vicinity of present-day Shanghai and sailed to the sea. She drifted to Kutsu, Kutani Town, Japan, and stayed in Japan for the rest of her life. ?
