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 Xianyang, fell in love with Yang Yuhuan at first sight. At your request, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wrote a letter that year, naming her as the longevity princess. After marriage, the two are extremely sweet.
Life after marriage is happy and sweet. However, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty saw that she was in love with her country, but she rebelled against Chang Lun and wanted to keep it for herself. So he was recruited into the palace in the name of "being a female Taoist". After an unannounced visit to Chencang, Yu Tianbao was made a concubine in the fourth year (745) (these methods are exactly the same as those used by Emperor Gaozong after Wu Zetian became a monk). (At that time, it was the sixty-first year of Xuanzong and the twenty-seventh year of Guifei), and his father and brother were able to descend to the world.
Every time the imperial concubine rides a horse, Gao Lishi, a great eunuch, personally wields a whip. There are 700 weavers and embroiderers of the imperial concubine, and even more people compete for treasures. Both the author of Lingnan History and Guangling History and Wang Yi are highly praised for their outstanding contributions. As a result, hundreds of officials followed suit. Yang Guifei loves Lingnan litchi, so some people try their best to drive fresh litchi to Chang 'an. There is a poem saying that "no one knows that the world of mortals rides a concubine", so litchi is also called "concubine smile".
Yang Yuhuan was a court musician and dancer in the Tang Dynasty, and his musical talent was rare among concubines in previous dynasties. 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. Although she is a beautiful woman, she still has some shortcomings: she has a body odor, so she especially likes taking a bath.
In the fifteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan rose up, and Tang Xuanzong, who indulged in singing and dancing, fled in haste. Passing through Maweipo, general Chen, the right commander (imperial army), and other six armies (the "six armies" mentioned by Bai Juyi should be the imperial army of the northern government soldiers-left and right feather armies, left and right long and left armies, but Xuanzong dynasty actually only had left and right feather armies and left and right long four armies). The soldiers thought that Yang's family was a disaster for the country and the people, and refused to move forward, saying that this was because Yang (the cousin of the imperial concubine) had contact. Before opening the bow, the left and right leaders refused to move forward, saying that Yang was the cousin of your princess, and that her cousin was guilty, and it was inevitable that her cousin would hang in the Taoist temple. The Anshi Rebellion had nothing to do with Yang Guifei, who became the scapegoat of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Guifei died at the age of 38.
Yang Guifei's beauty is fat, the simplest beauty, the happiest beauty and the most emotional beauty.
He, Shi, Wang Zhaojun and Diophantine are also called the four beauties in ancient China. Use the idiom "sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon and feeling ashamed of flowers" to describe four people. She is the highest-ranking and most powerful beauty among the four great beauties in ancient China, and also the most influential queen in the world.
What's the name of the famous Yang Guifei? This is an interesting question.
Neither the Old Tang Book nor the New Tang Book is recorded, nor is it clearly recorded in Zi Tong Zhi Jian. The legend of Song of Eternal Sorrow only says that she is Yang Xuanyan's daughter. In the ninth year of the Tang Dynasty (855), that is, about 100 years after the death of Yang Guifei, Zheng Chuhui's Miscellanies of Ming Taizu first mentioned: "Yang Guifei's small character Yuhuan". Later generations still use it today. There are different views on this. Qin Shihuang said in Jin Yang Men Shi Hua: "The jade slave is too small." Zheng Chuhui and Zheng Bi are both Tang Dynasty people, living in the same era, and both are Jinshi, so their statements have credible reasons. Of course, it is also possible that both names belong to Yang, one is his real name and the other is his nickname.
No matter what Yang Guifei's name is, the old man named Li Longji likes it. He is really an old man. When we first met in the 28th year of Kaiyuan (740), Yang was only 22 years old and he was 56 years old. He is always older, but he is the emperor, so he can do whatever he wants. He not only doesn't care what her name is, but also doesn't care whether she is married or not, and doesn't even consider that she is married to her own son. As long as he likes it, he must take it.
When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty took a fancy to Yang Yuhuan, she had been married to Li Mao, the longevity king, for almost five years. Hu Feng prevailed in the court of the Tang Dynasty, and it seems common for Lao Zi to rob his son and daughter-in-law. "Everyone is equal before love", so there is no guardian crying to give the emperor the idea of "human relations". But this is not a glorious thing after all. In order to explain to the world, Tang Xuanzong did some work on the table. For example, at first, I listened to my sister Princess Yu Zhen's advice, and under the banner of filial piety, I ordered her to become a female Taoist priest, saying that I wanted to bless my mother Dou Taihou, and gave Yang Yuhuan the word "too true" to move out of Shouwangfu and live in Taizhen Palace. This is also to avoid people's eyes and ears and cheat. After five years' efforts, Xuanzong first solemnly fulfilled his "father's duty", betrothed Wei's daughter to the birthday girl Wang Li Mao as a princess, and then eagerly welcomed Yang back to the palace and officially conferred him as the imperial concubine. Yang Yuhuan is not only beautiful, good at singing and dancing, but also smart and considerate. He is simply the emperor's intimate "little cotton-padded jacket", and Xuanzong naturally likes it. Soon, Yang Yuhuan spoiled the harem, making it "six palaces of powder and makeup go up in smoke". At that time, the palace called her madam, and all the treatments (etiquette regulations) were also queen-level.
In this regard, Tang Li Shangyin has something to say. He wrote in "Love of Mount Li: Ode to Fei Yang": "The flying spring of Mount Li is warm and fragrant, and Gu Yulian's family in Kowloon, and the Ming people are lucky to live in the Palace of Eternal Life, not because of the golden jade, but because of the longevity king." It seems that Shouwang is really depressed and embarrassed. However, Xuanzong, regardless of human feelings, still wanted to take away his son's love. He could only sigh that Yang Yuhuan's beauty was too tempting. But according to common sense, Tang Xuanzong, who has entered the old age, loves Yang Guifei not only because of his lust for beauty and bed, but also because he regards her as a spiritual companion who is considerate in life and can cater to his hobbies.
For example, The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty says, "It's so gorgeous, good at singing and dancing, smooth in melody and brilliant. Every time I look forward to welcoming you, I move like this." The comments in "New Tang Book" are similar, only implicitly adding the hint of "special room banquet". Many literary works of later generations are addicted to obscenity, blindly amplifying the imperial concubine's ability to "invite pets with color". I think this is suspected of overestimating Tang's physiological function. Of course, no matter how old a man is, he is still very useful to a beautiful woman, and this beautiful woman looks like a fairy.
In addition to her outstanding appearance, Yang Yuhuan was attracted by her superb artistic accomplishment in music and dance. History records that she is "good at singing and dancing, and is familiar with melody", and Xuanzong has the same hobby. No wonder she is regarded as her artistic confidant and spiritual companion. This can be seen from his joyful tone of "if you get Yang Guifei, if you get treasure".
Tang Xuanzong was familiar with temperament and had rich knowledge of music and dance. He trained many noble children in the pear garden. According to the Old Book of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong once formed a "court band", and selected 300 children and hundreds of ladies-in-waiting for guidance. For such a talented "artistic" emperor, Yang Yuhuan, who is proficient in temperament, naturally stands out. It is said that once, Xuanzong proposed to hold a concert with five musical instruments in the western regions, and the imperial concubine responded positively. At that time, the imperial concubine embraced the pipa, and Xuanzong held the Jie drum, singing and dancing lightly, day and night. In this regard, there is Bai Juyi's poem as evidence: "slow song and slow dance, the emperor's eyes can't stare at her enough." Yang Yuhuan is also a master of percussion. When she played, "percussion was so loud that many new sounds were not heard by a disciple in the pear garden." In order to please the beauty, Xuanzong made Lantian sapphire as his chin and decorated it with gold cymbals and pearls, which was extremely precious.
Wu Huifei, the favorite of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, died of illness, and Xuanzong was very unhappy. Under the recommendation of Gao Lishi, a trusted eunuch, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty turned his attention to Yang Yuhuan, a daughter-in-law similar to Wu Huifei.
In October of the 28th year of Kaiyuan, Yang Yuhuan, who had been married to Li Mao for five years, left Shouwangfu and went to Lishan. At this time, she was only 22 years old, and Xuanzong was 56 years old. Xuanzong shilled her to become a monk in recognition of her mother, Dou Taihou, and gave her the name of "too true".
In the fourth year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty made Wei's daughter a princess, and then she became a imperial concubine. Since Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty abolished the king and queen, there has been no queen, so Yang Guifei is equivalent to the queen.
Yang Guifei has three sisters, all of whom are very beautiful. They are also called into the palace, and they are named Mrs. Han, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Guo respectively, and each receives a salary of 100,000 yuan per month. Guo's wife, Yang Huahua, ranked third. She was born beautiful and self-beautiful, not fake powder. Du Fu's poem "Mrs. Guo" said: "Mrs. Guo accepted the Lord's favor and got on the horse and entered the Golden Gate. But I think the color of the powder is too bright, and the moth eyebrows are facing the supreme. " ("Detailed Explanation of Du Fu's Poems" Volume II) is a portrayal of the facts.
Since entering the palace, Yang Yuhuan has followed the feudal imperial court system, never asked about state affairs, and never intervened in power struggles. With his charming, docile and extraordinary musical talent, he was loved by Xuanzong in all aspects. Although he angered Xuanzong because of jealousy, he was sent out of the palace twice. In addition, Yang Yuhuan had an affair with An Lushan in the palace, but Xuanzong finally found it hard to give her up. It was not until the Anshi Rebellion that Emperor Xuanzong fled to the west with Yang Guifei. When Ma Jipo was remonstrated, Yang Guifei was forced to die at the age of 38.
Today, there is a tomb of Yang Guifei in Xingping City, Shaanxi Province, covering an area of 3,000 square meters. On the side of the tomb are poems by Li Shangyin, Bai Juyi and Lin Zexu. At the northern foot of Mount Li in Lintong, there is Huaqing Pool, which is said to be the relic of Yang Guifei's "It was early spring". They let her bathe in the pure flower pond to warm and smooth her creamy crystal skin. " Among them, the "Guifei Pool" is famous. It is said that it is specially used to bathe Yang Guifei, so it is also called "Princess Soup". There is a "hair cooling pavilion" beside the pool, which is said to be the place where the imperial concubine used to cool her hair and comb her hair after bathing. Because of their close relationship with the famous ancient beauty Yang Guifei, these places of interest have attracted many Chinese and foreign tourists and become famous tourist attractions.
Yang Guifei has a problem that has been puzzling later scholars, that is, since Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was so infatuated with Yang Yuhuan at that time, why did Yang Yuhuan remain an imperial concubine instead of becoming a queen?
Judging from the clues in Historical Records, the reason why Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty didn't canonize Yang Yuhuan as the queen is probably related to his humble means of getting Yang Yuhuan.
According to historical records such as Old Tang Shu, New Tang Shu and Zi Tong Zhi Jian, Yang Yuhuan was originally the princess of Li Mao, the son of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Mao took it from her son by unfair means. In July of the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Li Mao and Yang Yuhuan fell in love at first sight. At the repeated request of Wu Huifei (Li Mao's mother), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty named Yang Yuhuan as an immortal. After marriage, they were so sweet that he didn't see Yang Yuhuan.
Five years later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty met Yang Yuhuan and was fascinated by Yang Yuhuan's beauty at first sight. At this time, she has been married to Li Mao, the longevity king, for almost five years. However, Tang Xuanzong didn't care so much. He designed a superficial article. First, under the banner of filial piety, he said that he would recommend blessings to his mother Dou Taihou. Then Yang Yuhuan was ordered to become a monk, and given the word "too true", Yang Yuhuan was ordered to move out of Shouwangfu and live in Taizhen Palace. Then, he betrothed the daughter of minister Wei to Li Mao, the longevity king, and made her a princess to appease the longevity king. Five years later, after the expiration of Yang Yuhuan's legend, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent a letter to Yang Yuhuan to be secularized, and he was admitted to the palace, officially canonized as a imperial concubine and raised by himself.
This incident naturally caused profound harm to Li Mao, the longevity king, but it was his father who took away his beloved princess, and he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak. In this regard, Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote in the poem "Singing Yang Fei on Mount Li": "The flying spring on Mount Li is warm and fragrant, and Gu Yulian House in Kowloon clearly States that whoever lives a happy life will follow the life of the king instead of the golden jade." This poem describes the frustration of Li Mao, the birthday girl, and the embarrassment after Emperor Xuanzong robbed his daughter-in-law. However, Yang Yuhuan was so beautiful that Emperor Xuanzong ignored all this and got her, which showed the charm of Yang Guifei. In addition, the Tang Dynasty was a rare open dynasty in the history of China. It adopted an inclusive cultural policy, and various foreign customs blossomed everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, weakening the feudal ethical hierarchy. So Xuanzong did not attract much opposition.
But after all, it is not a glorious thing to rob her son's princess. Although Li Mao, the longevity king, dare not say it on the surface, it must be bitter behind his back. Therefore, although Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty loved Yang Guifei very much, he imposed all the benefits on her. Even her relatives and friends were promoted to important officials, which won the support of the court. Even there was an atmosphere among the people that "girls are happy without boys", but he refused to make her a queen. First, the imperial concubine snatched from her son is, after all, unethical. Although the customs were civilized at that time, the subject of discipline ethics still existed, and such a woman obviously could not become a queen. Secondly, if Yang Yuhuan is made queen, it will inevitably arouse the pent-up anger of Li Mao, the keeper of the king, and a coup is also very possible. Third, Yang Guifei's favorite immortals, chickens and dogs, her brothers and sisters, and relatives have all been reused by the imperial court and developed into a huge political force. If she is made queen again, it will definitely cause opposition from ministers and tilt of power, which is very unfavorable for maintaining stability. Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty refused to make Yang Guifei the queen.
In addition, there is another important reason why Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty could not make Yang Guifei the queen. This is why Yang Guifei has never had children since she followed Tang Xuanzong. As for why Yang Guifei was not born, we don't know, but not having a son is definitely a big obstacle for her to be a queen, because it was a very important event in ancient times, and it needed the participation of the monarch and ministers to show the world that the appointed queen must be a virtuous and graceful queen, which can set an example and inspire the world. The son she gave birth to will also be made a prince and will inherit the great system in the future. Therefore, the queen and the prince should generally be mothers with children or children with mothers, but at that time, the prince had been established for many years and grew normally, and Yang Guifei had no time to have a son, so there was no reason for her to be a queen. If the overlord tries to bow hard and let Yang Guifei be the queen, it is likely to arouse the opposition of the prince, Li Mao, the Long Life King and even the court ministers, and a palace coup will take place, so the loss outweighs the gain, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty will certainly not take the risk.
In fact, Yang Guifei did not become a queen, but the treatment she enjoyed was already the standard of the queen. As soon as she entered the palace, she gathered "only his kindness to 3 thousand", and the legend of "riding a princess in the world of mortals and laughing, no one knew it was litchi" circulated among the people. It can be seen that Yang Guifei's high status and deep luck are all designed for her. Although Yang Guifei has no queen's name, she is a queen and is more respected than the average queen. Yang Guifei was also very clever, and did not repeatedly ask Tang Xuanzong to stand on his own feet as a queen. Now that you have reached the acme of a woman and won the favor of the son of heaven, why care about the name of the queen? She only needs to give full play to her beauty and versatility and serve Xuanzong comfortably, and she will always be the queen in the real sense.
Legend has it that when Yang Yuhuan first entered the palace, he was sad all day because he couldn't see the king. Once, she and the ladies-in-waiting went to the palace to enjoy flowers, and accidentally met the mimosa, and the leaves of the grass immediately rolled up. Ladies-in-waiting all say that this is the beauty of Yang Yuhuan, which makes the flowers and plants feel ashamed and ashamed. Tang Huangming heard that there was a "flower-bashing beauty" in the palace, and immediately summoned him and made him the imperial concubine. Since then, "shame on flowers" has become Yang Guifei's nickname. Mimosa is ashamed to see people because of plant electricity. The leafy base of the mimosa,
There is a kind of parenchyma called "leaf mattress", which is usually filled with enough water. When the leaves are stimulated, the water in parenchyma cells immediately flows to the upper and both sides under the instruction of plant electricity. With the increase of leaf weight, the phenomenon of leaf closure and petiole drooping appears. Mimosa plants are slender and delicate. In order to survive, it has formed this special ability to adapt to the environment through long-term natural selection.
Zhong, hometown of Zhong Kui, hometown of God of Wealth, arranged in Huxian County, Shaanxi Province, legend of everlasting regret:
Yang Guifei, formerly known as Yang Furong and nicknamed Yuhuan, was born in Yang Yuhuan. She is beautiful in appearance, graceful and considerate, proficient in temperament, especially good at singing and dancing and playing the pipa. Tang Xuanzong saw that she had the color of loving the country. She was elected to the palace in the fourth year of Tianbao (745) and was named the imperial concubine (when Emperor Xuanzong was 6 1 year old, the imperial concubine was 27 years old). The "Guifei Pool" in Huaqing Pool at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain in Lintong is specially used for bathing Yang Guifei, so it is also called "Feizi Decoction".
According to legend, after Zhong Kui was named "the sage of Fuzhen House" by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he was painted as "Fuzhen House in Zhong Kui" by Wu Daozi and hung in the bedroom of Imperial Palace Yang Guifei. It is widely rumored in the palace that "Fuzhen House is only true to Zhong Kui" and "Zhong Kui is really magical and has sent Fu Lushou to Xi 'an". In order to pray for peace, Yang Guifei worships devoutly every day and sandalwood fills the air. Facing the portrait of Zhong Kui all day long, the imperial concubine who was born with leopard head, leopard eyes, hideous face, strange appearance, brilliant, knowledgeable, upright and upright, can't help feeling for a long time, and regards Zhong Kui as her only confidant and confidant. She often confides her joys and sorrows with Zhong Kui, telling Zhong Kui that she can also play the pipa and dance "Nocturne in a Dress and Feather".
Accompanied by Zhong Kui, the true god, Yang Guifei is carefree, carefree and plump.
One day, it rained heavily and Yang Guifei prayed again. Just then, she saw a thunder and lightning in the air. Zhong Kui said, "Princess Huang, Zhong Kui Town, don't mess around!" Clashing loudly, the imperial concubine suddenly repented and bowed down to thank God. From then on, the imperial concubine paid more attention to Zhong Kui, calling Zhong Kui a single-minded "true gentleman" with no second thoughts.
In order to repay the kindness of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei, Zhong Kui later gave a dream to Bai Juyi, the magistrate of Zhouzhi County, and wrote an everlasting regret for his confidante.
During the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fled to Mayi Post, and the sergeant mutinied and killed Yang. Yang was furious and forced Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty to kill Yang Guifei. Xuanzong was helpless and ordered Gao Lishi to commit suicide for her. Finally, he was strangled under the pear tree in front of the Buddhist temple in the posthouse at the age of 38. Legend has it that a shoe on Yang Guifei's foot was lost when transporting the corpse, and was picked up by an old woman. Passers-by had to pay 100 yuan to borrow it, and the old lady made a fortune.
Some people say that Yang Yuhuan may have died in a Buddhist temple. The Biography of Yang Guifei in Old Tang Dynasty records that after the imperial generals Chen and others killed Yang and his son, they thought that "the thief was still there" and demanded that Yang Guifei be killed again to avoid future troubles. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to bid farewell to the imperial concubine and "hang the Buddhist temple". "Zi Tongzhi Jijiantang" records that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered eunuch Gao Lishi to take Yang Guifei to the Buddhist temple and hang her. Tang Shi Bu records that Gao Lishi hanged Yang Guifei under the pear tree in the Buddhist temple. Chen Hong's Song of Eternal Sorrow records that Emperor Xuanzong knew that Yang Guifei was bound to die, but he couldn't bear to see her die, so he led the people away, "turned around hastily and died under the ruler group". The Biography of Yue Shi Yang Taizhen records that when Tang Xuanzong bid farewell to Yang Guifei, he "prayed for Buddha's respect". Gao Lishi hanged the imperial concubine under the pear tree in front of the Buddhist temple. Mr. Chen Yinque pointed out in the Manuscript of Bai Yuan's Poems: "It can be noted that Yue Shi said that the princess was hanged under a pear tree, probably influenced by the phrase" Spring rain is like a pear blossom "in Xiangshan (Bai Juyi). It's ridiculous to go. " The statement in Le Shi comes from an addendum to Tang Shi, and Li Zhao's statement is probably influenced by Song of Eternal Sorrow.
Yang Guifei may also die in the army. This theory is mainly found in the descriptions in some Tang poems. Du Fu wrote a poem "Mourning for the Head" in Chang 'an, which was occupied by An Lushan in the second year of Zhide (AD 757), including "Where are the perfect eyes and the pearly teeth?" A blood-stained soul has no home and nowhere to go, which implies that Yang Guifei was not hanged at Mawei Post, because hanging will not cause bloodshed. Poems such as "I ask you not to wash lotus blood again" and "I have too much blood and my horseshoe is exhausted" in Li Yi's seven sentences "Crossing the Horse Nest" and "Two Poems Crossing the Horse Nest" also reflect the scene that Yang Guifei was killed by the rebels and died by the sword. Du Mu's Thirty Rhymes of Huaqing Palace is full of blood and scattered feathers. Zhang has "Huaqing Palace and Scheeren" and "Blood Buried Concubine"; Poems such as "Ma Yi Tie" say that "there is no evidence that the soul disappears, and the grass is sad when the blood is buried", and it is also believed that Yang Guifei's blood spilled on Ma Yi Tie, and she was not killed by shackles.
There are other possibilities for Yang Guifei's death. For example, some people say that she died of swallowing gold. This statement is only found in Liu Yuxi's poem Ma Wei Xing. Liu's poem once wrote: "The green field helps the wind, Huang Chen rides on a horse, and the roadside boy is noble." The tomb is three or four feet high. But I asked Li's middle-aged children, and they all said that they were lucky in Shu, lucky in the military, and the son of heaven gave up the demon Ji. The princes crouched on the door screen, and the nobles held the emperor's clothes, with low eyes and beautiful weather. Why do you drink gold chips? Mu Ying has worn apricot Dan all his life, and the color is really the same. " Judging from this poem, Yang Guifei died of swallowing gold. Mr. Chen Yinque was curious about this statement and made textual research in Bai Yuan's poems and notes. Chen suspects that Liu Shi's theory that "the nobles drink gold scraps" comes from the mouth of "Li", so it is different from other people's statements. But Chen Ye did not rule out the possibility that Yang Guifei swallowed gold before being hanged, so the word "Li" came from this.
Others think that Yang Guifei didn't die in Mayi post, but lived among the people. In On Poetry, Mr. Yu Pingbo made textual research on Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow and Chen Hong's Biography of Song of Eternal Sorrow. He thinks that Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow and Chen Hong's Biography of Eternal Sorrow have different original meanings. If "Long Hate" is the title of the article, it is enough to write it to Ma Wei. Why should we assume that Lin Qiong Taoist and Jade Princess are too real? The reason why Job was so, Yu Xiansheng thought that Yang Guifei didn't die in Ma Yi Yi Yi. At that time, the six armies mutinied, the imperial concubine was robbed and the women entrusted the land. This poem clearly shows that Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty could not be saved, so the imperial edict of granting death contained in the official history would not have existed at that time. Chen Hong's "Song of Eternal Sorrow" said "make people take it away", which means that Yang Guifei was taken away by an emissary and hid in a far away place. Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow says that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty will rebury Yang Guifei when he returns to Luanhe River. The result is "that memory, that pain." Where is her white face? It is in the middle of the mud under Mawei slope, and even the bones can't be found, further confirming that the imperial concubine didn't die in Maweigang. It is worth noting that when Chen Hong wrote Song of Eternal Sorrow, he pointed out that "Xuanzong Biography exists for people who know the world" for fear that future generations would be unknown. As for those who are "unknown to the world", today there is a Song of Eternal Sorrow, which obviously implies that Yang Guifei is not dead.
There is a strange saying that Yang Guifei went to America. Wei Juxian, a scholar in Taiwan Province Province, claimed in his book China Discovered America that he had verified that Yang Guifei did not die in Mayi, but was taken to distant America.
There is also a saying that Yang Guifei fled to Japan, and there is a view in Japanese folk and academic circles: at that time, a maid was hanged in the linen post. General Chen cherishes the beauty of the imperial concubine and can't bear to kill her, so he conspired with Gao Lishi to replace her death with a maid. Under the escort of Chen's cronies, Yang Guifei fled south, set sail near Shanghai today, drifted to Kuchi, Japan, and spent the rest of her life in Japan. There are also various sayings in Japan. There is a saying that the deceased was a double maid, and the military commander Chen and Gao Lishi conspired to replace her with a maid. Gao Lishi transported the body of the imperial concubine by car, and Chen was the one who examined the body, which made the plan successful. Yang Guifei, on the other hand, went south under the escort of Chen's cronies. Today, she set sail near Shanghai and arrived in Lukouchi, Japan.
There is a tomb of Yang Guifei in the hometown of Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. 1963, a Japanese girl showed her family tree to the TV audience, saying that she was a descendant of Yang Guifei. Yamaguchi Momoe, a famous Japanese movie star, also claimed to be a descendant of Yang Guifei.
As can be seen from the above, with the passage of time, the legends about the death of Yang Guifei have become more and more vivid, and there is a saying that these legends are getting farther and farther away from historical facts. According to this statement, Yang Guifei will die at the Mayi Post Station. According to the Biography of Gao Lishi, Yang Guifei died because of "sitting for a while". In other words, the soldiers of the Sixth Army hated Yang and implicated Yang Guifei. This is the point of view of Gao Dui. Because the biography was written according to his dictation, judging from the situation of the Mayiyi incident, Yang Guifei had to die. After the slaughter, the body was transported from the Buddhist temple to the post office and placed in the yard. Also call Chen He and other soldiers in to have a look. Yang Guifei did die in Mayi, and the old and new historical books such as The Book of the Tang Dynasty and As a Mirror are very clear, as are the miscellaneous notes of the Tang Dynasty such as Biography of Gao Lishi, Supplement to Tang Shi, Miscellaneous Notes of Ming Di and Deeds of An Lushan.
The folklore that Yang Guifei came back from the dead reflects people's sympathy and nostalgia for her. Soldiers of the "Sixth Army" demanded the execution of Yang Guifei on the grounds that "the curse is still there". If people insist on this view, then Yang Guifei will be regarded as a compliment, or a bad woman like da ji, and there can be no praise except the condemnation of the world. Even if she is the representative of stunning beauty in the world, or the representative of female beauty in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there will be no pity and forgiveness in people's potential consciousness. The whole problem is that Yang Guifei is not actually the source of the Anshi Rebellion. Gao Lishi once said that "the imperial concubine is sincere and innocent", which is not without one-sidedness, but there is no doubt that the imperial concubine is not the culprit. After the Anshi Rebellion, people began to reflect, sum up the historical experience of Tianbao Rebellion, and finally realized the truth of history. Folklore has its own fair judgment, and the praise and criticism of historical figures are often objective. Yang Guifei's death was not only her own fault, but also a victim. As a result, people fantasize that Yang Guifei, who is really dead, can be resurrected and have infinite memories.
Catalogers firmly believe that with the new archaeological discoveries, from the perspective of scientific and technological development, the mystery of Yang Guifei's whereabouts will be closer and closer to historical facts. According to the fourth and third volumes of Quantang Wen edited by Xu Zizhen in the Tang Dynasty and the article Inscription in Puning County, Rongzhou, Feiyang, it is not surprising that Yang Yuhuan should have at least three native places. The first native place is Yangwai Village, Shili Township, Rong County, where my biological father Yang Wei was born. The second native place is the ancestral home of the adoptive father Yang Kang, who works in the military department of Yeongju Prefecture. The third native place is Yang Yan, and the adoptive father is the governor of Yeongju Prefecture. Yang Yan was originally from Huayin, Hongnong, Shaanxi, and later moved to Yongle, Zhou Pu, Shaanxi.
In 2004, with the completion of the rescue archaeological excavation of Gao Lishi's tomb, a great eunuch of the Tang Dynasty, located in Shanxi Village, Baonan Township, pucheng county, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, it was verified that Gao Lishi's real name was Feng, and he was from Panzhou (now Gaozhou, Guangdong Province) in 14 prefecture under the jurisdiction of Rongzhou Prefecture. He was sent to the palace at an early age and was given a high surname. When studying the epitaph of Gao Lishi's life, experts found unexpectedly that the litchi that was sent to the palace by Yima for Yang Guifei was a kind of high-quality and early-maturing litchi named "White Poppy" from the hometown of Gao Lishi and Yang Yuhuan. Gao Lishi and Yang Yuhuan are both prefects of Yeongju, and Gao Lishi's hometown of Panzhou is only100km away from his hometown of Puning County, Yeongju, Yang Yuhuan. This new archaeological discovery verifies the long-standing controversy about the origin of litchi in Princess Riding with a Smile in the Red Dust. This new archaeological discovery also proves from another side that there are two ancient literature secretaries in the Second Palace of Yugutomachi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, which records the local legend about Yang Guifei: Chen, a military commander, could not bear to kill her because of her beauty, so he plotted to replace her with a maid in Gao Lishi, while Yang Guifei was escorted to Sichuan by Chen's cronies and sailed to Shanghai near the Yangtze River, drifting to Yugutomachi, Japan. Because Gao Lishi and Yang Yuhuan are fellow villagers, and they have close contacts in the palace, knowing Yang Yuhuan's life experience, Gao Lishi once asserted that "the imperial concubine is innocent". The only safe and reliable route for Chen and Gao Lishi to help escape is to flee to Sichuan in the south, take a boat along the Yangtze River to Shanghai and drift overseas.
The cemetery of Yang Guifei's tomb is small and exquisite. In front of the entrance, there are three memorial halls in antique style. Passing through the altar is the tomb, covering an area of about one mu and about three meters high. This tomb is made of blue bricks. There are cloisters on the east, west and north sides of the tomb, inlaid with stone tablets of different sizes, engraved with the travel notes and inscriptions of historical celebrities.
Yang Guifei's tomb is a provincial key cultural relics protection unit. At present, Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Sorrow" gallery and "An Shi Rebellion" exhibition hall are under construction. Yang Guifei's white marble statue has been erected in the cemetery expanded in the early stage.
Strange to say, there are two tombs of Yang Guifei in Japan, and there are also statues of her in ancient cities such as Kyoto. In history, Yang Guifei was hanged on Maweipo. The tomb of the imperial concubine He Lai in Japan has always been a mystery. However, domestic scholars Yu Pingbo and Zhou Zuoren wrote in their early years: "Yang Guifei moved to Japan to settle down. Longwu Watanabe, a Japanese scholar, said in the article "The Secret History of Yang Guifei's Resurrection" that after Yang Guifei escaped from Maweipo, she was helped by dancers and musicians in the Tang Dynasty and moved to Yangzhou, where she not only met her brother Yang, the eldest son's concubine and their youngest son, but also met Japanese envoys in the Tang Dynasty. With Fujiwara's help, Yang Guifei landed in Kudo, Japan on a Japanese missionary ship in 757 AD. After arriving in Japan, Yang Guifei was warmly received by Emperor Longxing. Later, with her intelligence, Yang Guifei helped Xiao Gan defeat a palace coup, and became famous in Japan, winning the favor of Japanese people, especially Japanese women. There are also Japanese women who say that she is a descendant of Yang Guifei. Some Japanese women always like to pack a bag of white "imperial concubine soil" when visiting Majipo. The local legend is that the white skin of the imperial concubine dyed the surrounding soil white, and women used the "imperial concubine soil" to wipe their faces for beauty, so there was less grave soil, and later they had to build bricks to cover the top and periphery.
