History always gives people a sense of weight, because it carries too much right and wrong, success and failure, rise and fall, honor and disgrace; it leaves behind too much eternal fame and eternal infamy.
——Inscription
The Tang Dynasty is a bright spot on the historical picture, and its rich colors are eye-catching. When it comes to the Tang Dynasty, we have to mention Yang Guifei, a beauty in the eyes of many people.
"Who determines the rise and fall of the country, so is there no basis for success or failure?" This is the emotion of many people.
I remember that on the birthday of his concubine, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty took her to the foot of the beautiful Lishan Mountain - the magnificent Huaqing Palace. The imperial concubine was stunned. At this moment, she heard rolling thunder falling on the mountain, and the closed palace doors opened slowly. An envoy came galloping on a post horse, and another litchi arrived.
"When a red concubine rides on a horse and laughs, no one knows it is a lychee." All this has further strengthened history's view of Concubine Yang - she brought disaster to the country and the people, just like praising Si Daji. A smile from a noble concubine would cost tens of thousands of people, loads of gold and silver, and BMW horses!
"The fragrance is lingering when the sleeves are moving, and the red lotus owl is in the autumn smoke." The imperial concubine with "ice muscles and jade bones as strong as plum blossoms" spent huge sums of money playing the pipa in the Huaqing Palace, and composed "Dance of Colorful Clothes and Feather Clothes" with Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. There was singing and dancing in the palace, but there were complaints outside the palace. The civil and military officials in the court were sighing, and the people in the city were complaining: "Beauty is a disaster!"
But don't forget, she is just a woman. In that feudal society where men were gods and women were nothing, she could only use all means to gain status, fame and fortune. Will Yang Guifei, who is loved by three thousand people, cry without tears in the palace where people's hearts are so sinister?
Who could have known that she didn’t want to live in peace? Who can be sure that she doesn’t want the happiness of men farming and women weaving? "May I ask who in the Han Palace is like it? Poor Feiyan relies on her new makeup." Who can guarantee that Tang Xuanzong's heart will stay with Yuhuan for the rest of his life? There is no eternity in the palace, only power and status. She can only use every method to survive safely in the intrigues of the palace.
"Tianzi caused chaos in Anshi, and the west wind still cries for Bai Ling." How can Yuhuan be blamed for the Anshi Rebellion? Since there is a desire to rebel, how can there be no plan to rebel? I only cherish the beauty of the goddess, sigh at the appearance of heaven and humans, and pity only the encounters in troubled times. All this is not Yang Guifei's fault. Her beauty is not enough to cause such a serious crime that harms the country and the people, is not enough to cause wars and chaos, and is not enough to cause the overthrow of the dynasty!
It was the times and prejudice that destroyed her beauty. People forgot her weakness, but only remembered the disaster caused by her beauty.
