In the seventh year of Kaiyuan (AD 7 19), Yang Yuhuan, a stunning beauty of the Tang Dynasty, was born in Xishu. 2 1 year later, Tang Xuanzong first met Yang Yuhuan in Lishan Hot Spring Palace, was fascinated by her gorgeous figure, and longed for alertness and agility. She immediately became a female Taoist and lived in Taizhen Palace.
In the fourth year of Tianbao (A.D. 745), Yuhuan was canonized as an imperial concubine. Since then, there has been a tragic love story between the emperor and his empresses in the history of China. In fact, it is an episode in the process of Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, which is so sad and touching and contains profound historical lessons. No matter what people say through the ages, it is acknowledged that Yang Guifei is a typical female beauty in China history, just as the rich and gorgeous peony embodies the aesthetic concept of the Tang Dynasty.
Yang Guifei:
Yang Guifei was originally from Huayin, Hongnong (Huayin, Shaanxi), and later moved to Zhou Pu (Yongji, Shaanxi). His predecessors were all high-ranking officials, and his great-grandfather Lingben also made a history of Jinzhou, and his family wealth declined from then on. Xuanzang's father was appointed as the steward of Zhou Shu's army. Located in West Shu, Shuzhou governs four counties: Jinyuan, Qingcheng, Xinjin and Tangxing, and the state governs Jinyuan County, which is now chongzhou city, Sichuan Province.
When the secretary joined the army, he was an assistant official in charge of the civilian families in the state and a junior official. In the early years of Kaiyuan, Yang Xuanyan worked in Zhou Shu. In historical documents, there is a record of the imperial concubine "Xuanzang's father and Zhou Shu's family", but only the biography of Yang Taizhen, a beginner of music history in Song Dynasty, talks about the birthplace of the imperial concubine in detail: "Xuanzang's father and Zhou Shu's family". The imperial concubine was born in Shu and fell into the pool by mistake, which was later called the princess-falling pool.
The pool is in front of Daojiang County. "In the Tang Dynasty, Daojiang County is now Juyuan Town, Dujiangyan City, adjacent to Zhou Shu. The Fallen Princess Pool in front of Daojiang County is located in Daojiang Village, Juyuan Town, Dujiangyan City, and the site still exists today. The pool is round and small, covering an area of 1 mu. Surrounded by fertile farmland and golden rice; There is a roll of trees called "water melon" by local people by the pool, with lush grass and beautiful scenery. The imperial concubine loved to play by the pool when she was a child, and accidentally fell into this pool, so this small pool became famous.
Creative background:
In the first year of Yuanhe (806), Bai Juyi was appointed as county commandant (now Xi zhouzhi county). One day, my friends Chen Hong and Wang Zhifu and I visited Xianyou Temple near Ant, and talked about Li Longji and Yang Guifei. Wang Zhifu believes that something as outstanding as this will disappear with the passage of time if it is not polished.
He encouraged Bai Juyi: "Lotte is deeper than poetry and deeper than love. How about trying to make a song? " So Bai Juyi wrote this long poem. Because the last two sentences of the long poem are "the earth lasts forever, and the sky lasts forever;" One day, both will end, and this endless sadness will last forever. "They called this poem" The Song of Eternal Sorrow ". At the same time, Chen Hong wrote a legendary novel "Song of Eternal Sorrow".
