A brief historical introduction to Yang Guifei
1. Concubine Yang has a gentle personality, gorgeous appearance, is good at singing and dancing, and knows music well. Married to Li Mao, the son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and King of Longevity, as his concubine. In the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan (740), she was ordered to become a female Taoist priest, with the Taoist name "Taizhen". In the fourth year of Tianbao (745 years), she was canonized as a noble concubine.
2. Yang Yuhuan's name is not mentioned in the "Old Book of Tang" and "New Book of Tang", nor is it clearly recorded in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". "The Story of Everlasting Regret" only says that she is "Yang Xuanyan's daughter" . In the ninth year of Dazhong in the Tang Dynasty (855), which was about 100 years after Yang Guifei's death, the "Miscellaneous Records of the Ming Emperor" compiled by Zheng Chujie mentioned for the first time: "Yang Guifei's small character Yuhuan". Later generations still use it today. The three names of Concubine Yang, "Yu Nu", "Yu Niang" and "Yu Huan" are real. The terms "nu", "niang" and "huan" are all foils to Yang Guifei's name in different periods. Yunu was her nickname when she was a child; Yuniang was her honorific before she was canonized; Yuhuan was the joking name people gave her after she was conferred as a noble concubine and gained weight. Concubine Yang's real name should be "Yang Yu".
3. Yang Yuhuan was a court musician and dancer of the Tang Dynasty who was good at singing and dancing, and was proficient in music. Her musical talent was rarely seen among the concubines of the past dynasties, and she was praised by later generations as one of the four beauties in ancient China. Although she has a plump figure, history books also record that she was a master of dancing and was also proficient in Hu Xuan dance. Her figure was swaying and she jumped like the wind, which was dazzling. After Yang Yuhuan entered the palace, he followed the feudal court system, did not interfere in court politics, and did not intervene in power struggles. With his charm, meekness and extraordinary musical talent, he was favored by Xuanzong in every possible way. Although he once offended Xuanzong due to jealousy, As a result, he was sent out of the palace twice, but in the end Xuanzong still couldn't let go. If Yang Yuhuan had been born in another era, she might not have become Concubine Yang. People in the Tang Dynasty regarded plumpness as beauty, but Yang Yuhuan "condensed fat and rouge". Even the "fat" began to "condensate" and exude a "gorgeous" color like "rouge". This requires a certain amount of "skill".

Character introduction
Yang Yuhuan was born in the 7th year of Kaiyuan (719), also known as Yang Guifei. She was a famous court musician and dancer in the Tang Dynasty. His personal experience is quite legendary. His grandfather was an official of the Sui Dynasty and was killed by Li Shimin. Later, because of his outstanding appearance, he became the concubine of the longevity king Li Hao at the age of 21. Later, Li Mao's father, the then emperor Tang Xuanzong, took a fancy to her. He first used a trick to get Yang Yuhuan to become a monk, and then issued an edict to return her to secular life. After joining the palace, she was canonized as a noble concubine. From then on, he was blessed with thousands of blessings, and even his family was blessed with endless favors. During her period, Yang Guifei angered Xuanzong due to jealousy and was sent out of the palace twice, but Xuanzong could not let go. Unfortunately, official history later recorded that she died in Maweipo (today's Xingping, Shaanxi) during the Anshi Rebellion. Peony is the flower metamorphosis of Yang Guifei, which represents her grace and splendor and the beauty and fragrance of the country. There are endless poems, novels, songs and film and television works about Yang Guifei in later generations. Li Bai wrote in "Qing Ping Tiao" that "clouds think of clothes and flowers think of faces, spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is rich" and "famous flowers overwhelm the country and make the king smile." ", Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Regret" has "Looking back and smiling, you will be full of charm, the sixth palace has no color. "Starting from the film "Yang Guifei" in 1927, there have been more than 35 film and television works in which Yang Guifei plays the main or supplementary role.
Yang Yuhuan in the legendary story
Controversy over birthplace
There are many disputes about Yang Guifei’s birthplace, including Huayin County (Huayin, Shaanxi), Yongle County ( Yuncheng, Shanxi), Shuzhou (Chongzhou, Chengdu), Rongzhou (Rongxian, Guangxi), Guozhou Nexiang (Lingbao City, Henan Province), among which Guozhou Nexiang is relatively close.
The whereabouts are a mystery
There are many theories about the death of Yang Guifei. Tang Xuanzong Bai Ling gave her death, she was killed by the rebel army, she died by swallowing gold, etc. Historical records more agree that Bai Ling granted death. It is said that when Yang Guifei fled with Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty during the Anshi Rebellion, in Maweipo, the sergeants of the Imperial Army led by Chen Xuanli believed that Yang Guifei was causing harm to the country and the people, and unanimously demanded the execution of Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei. Later, they were killed with swords. Yang Guozhong is dead. Tang Xuanzong was reluctant at first, but he listened to Gao Lishi's persuasion and ordered Yang Yuhuan to die. Yang Yuhuan was 38 years old at this time. He was hanged with white silk silk and died under the pear tree in the Buddhist hall. Later, after the Anshi Rebellion was settled, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent people to search for the body with great regret and guilt, but could not find it.
Origin of the name
Concubine Yang’s real name should be "Yang Yu". The name Yang Yuhuan was not mentioned in the "Old Book of Tang" and "New Book of Tang" at first, and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" only recorded her as "Nv Yang Xuanyan". About 100 years after his death, Zheng Chujie's "Minghuang" "Miscellaneous Records" mentions for the first time: "Yang Guifei's small character Yuhuan". Later, Concubine Yang's name was determined to be "Yang Yuhuan". In addition, historical research has found that the three names of Yang Guifei, "Yu Nu ", "Yu Niang" and "Yu Huan", are real. The three words "nu", "niang" and "huan" are the terms for Yang Guifei in different periods. A foil for the imperial concubine's name. Yunu is said to be her nickname when she was a child; Yuniang is the honorific she was given before she was canonized; Yuhuan is a joke, which is the nickname people gave her after she was conferred as a noble concubine and her body gained weight.
Yuhuan shy flower
The allusion of Yang Yuhuan shy flower is rumored to actually be a kind of "mimosa". Legend has it that when Yang Yuhuan first entered the palace, he was frowning because he could not see the emperor. Once, when she and her maids were admiring flowers in the palace garden, they accidentally touched a mimosa, and the leaves of the grass immediately rolled up "shyly". The maids all said that it was Yang Yuhuan's beauty that made the flowers and plants feel ashamed and could not lift their heads in shame. Later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty heard that there was a "beauty that was shy of flowers" in the palace, so he immediately summoned her and made her a noble concubine. After that, "Shame Flower" became Yang Guifei's nickname.
The concubine smiled
It is said that Concubine Yang loved to eat lychees. Later, in order to please her, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered people to rush from Lingnan, Guangdong (there are also sayings from Sichuan or Fujian) when the lychees were ripe. Delivery of freshly picked lychees with dewdrops. Special personnel are always assigned to transport fresh lychees with dew from Sichuan (some say from Guangdong and Fujian) through the post station every five or ten miles. Later, in Du Mu's poem "Three Poems Passing the Huaqing Palace" (Part One), he wrote, "The concubine riding on the red dust is laughing, but no one knows that it is the lychee coming." Imagine that when the beautiful lady of the country ate lychees with fine wines and delicacies, she was "drunk by the singing and dancing of the Qing Dynasty, and the imperial concubine smiled with her wine." "scene. History is frozen at this moment, forming a beautiful picture.
The imperial concubine was drunk
It is said that Concubine Yang made an appointment with Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty on a certain day to go to the Flower Viewing Pavilion to enjoy flowers and drink together the next day. However, she did not arrive the next day. Later, the palace officials heard that It was reported that the emperor had gone to Concubine Jiang. So when she was angry, she drowned her sorrows with wine, forgot about herself, and became dissolute and charming. The scene was also unforgettable by the palace people. Later, the drunken concubine became a famous scene for Yang Yuhuan.
Beauty secrets
Everyone loves beauty. The beauty of Yang Guifei is not only the natural beauty, but also the blessing of acquired beauty. For example, Concubine Yang abandoned heavy makeup and focused on light makeup to show the natural beauty of the human body. This also avoided the poisoning of lead and mercury in ancient cosmetics and prevented skin aging in advance; Concubine Yang loved hot spring bathing and patting. While she and Tang Xuanzong were enjoying themselves in Huaqing Pool, she often ordered people to soak peony bark, mulberry leaves, nettles, etc. in the water to calm the nerves, promote skin regeneration, and make it smooth and smooth. She also often tapped acupuncture points all over her body when bathing. , promote blood circulation and strengthen skin function; she also often eats an appropriate amount of lychees to supplement nutrition, benefit the heart, spleen, liver and blood, and improve people's color. With both inside and outside in harmony, Yang Guifei became more and more beautiful and won the fascination of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
The Mystery of the Queen
It is very strange that Concubine Yang was favored but was not canonized as queen. In fact, through historical records, it is not difficult to speculate that on the one hand, Tang Xuanzong originally snatched it from his son Li Mao through some means. The Tang Dynasty was influenced by foreign culture and was extremely open. No one dared to say anything. In order to appease Li Mao, he first He proposed marriage to Li Hao, but later he couldn't restrain his love for Concubine Yang. He loved Concubine Yang so much that he promoted many of her relatives and friends to important officials. However, due to his constant ethics, he has been unable to turn the daughter-in-law he snatched into a queen who is truly a mother-in-law. In addition, he can easily arouse Li Mao's resentment and trigger a coup. In addition, Yang Guifei's relatives and friends have formed a certain scale of political power in the court. power, canonizing her as queen is very risky and will affect the stability of the court. The most important thing is that after Yang Yuhuan and Tang Xuanzong were together, they had no heirs. The queen's son would be established as a prince in the future. There was no reason for Concubine Yang to be canonized without heirs. Later, Concubine Yang was granted the title of Concubine Yang and died in Maweipo. , there is still no chance of being banned.
Following the footsteps of Concubine Yang
Tomb of Concubine Yang
Located 500 meters west of Mazhen, Xingpingwei City, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, there is the tomb of Yang Yuhuan. The tomb is a hemisphere It is shaped like a tomb and is 3 meters high. The entire tomb is covered with blue bricks. There is a stele tower in front of the tomb, with the inscription: "The Tomb of Yang, the Imperial Concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty". Behind the tomb is a marble statue of Concubine Yang about 6 meters high. At first, the tomb was not surrounded by blue bricks. Later, it was said that women could use the soil from the tomb of the imperial concubine (concubine powder) to rub their face, which could remove the dark spots on the face and make the facial muscles delicate and white. Later, people continued to follow suit, and the tomb became smaller and smaller. The tombkeepers kept adding soil to the tomb, but it was soon removed again. Later, in order to protect the tomb, it had to be wrapped with green bricks.
The former residence of Concubine Yang
is located 100 meters east of Dutou Village, Shouyang Township, Yongji City, Shanxi Province. It is a nearly 100-acre Tang Dynasty folk residence. It is a castle-like single-family house with three courtyards. It is built along the mountain and runs north to south, overlooking the Yellow River. The building is divided into the fort gate, lower courtyard, middle courtyard, upper courtyard, west garden and imperial concubine pool. They are built from bottom to top on a central axis.
Tang Huaqing Palace
Located in Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, Huaqing Palace was built in the early Tang Dynasty and flourished after Emperor Xuanzong came to power. Inside, you can see the ruins of the "Noble Concubine Pond" given to Yang Yuhuan by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, which is relatively well preserved.
The emperor couldn't keep his heart, saying, "I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and a twig on earth." "When power and crisis came, the man who was so kind to Concubine Yang still chose to give up on her. He gave up as quickly as he was cunning when he robbed her. It's a pity that Yang Yuhuan's fate changed hands with a man after all. In the end, he was let down and died. The reason why beauties have short lives and beauties have short lives is because their excessive beauty attracts people to commit crimes. Beauty is not the original sin. There is no reason for her to be let down. Fate always likes to play tricks on helpless people. If possible, I hope that she will really turn into the "Taizhen" fairy in Penglai Palace and dance her favorite dance of colorful clothes and feathers, just like the legend.
Let’s talk about it later:
The series of four beauties is over. Do you have your favorite beauties?
Regardless of beauty or ugliness, appearance is often the first impression on people at the beginning, but to stay in people’s memory for a long time, more meaningful beauty is needed. Maybe it's Xi Shi who is a woman, maybe it's Wang Zhaojun who is marrying for the country, maybe it's Diao Chan who is upright and awe-inspiring, maybe it's the infatuated Concubine Yang. They all deserve to be remembered. Maybe they are not as beautiful as rumored, but in promoting history, their every move has blessed their beauty and become real beauties.
Who knows the exact birthday of Concubine Yang?
Yang Guifei’s birthday: June 1, 719
Biography
Yang Yuhuan (719-756), named Taizhen, was born in Yongle, Puzhou (now Yongji, Shanxi Province), and the daughter of Yang Xuanyan, Sihu of Shuzhou . The noble concubine of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
Yang's appearance is gorgeous, good at singing and dancing, and good at music. In 734 (the 22nd year of Kaiyuan of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty), she was adopted as the princess of Li Hao, the eighteenth son of Emperor Xuanzong. At that time, Yang was 16 years old and Li Hao was also about 16 years old. In 737, Xuanzong's favorite concubine Wu Hui died. There were thousands of concubines in the harem, but none of them could satisfy Xuanzong. In order to please Xuanzong, Gao Lishi recommended Yang Yuhuan, Princess Shou, to Xuanzong. In 740, Emperor Xuanzong visited the Hot Spring Palace and sent Gao Lishi to the Shou Palace to summon the Yang family and ordered her to become a monk, named Taizhen, and live in Taizhen Palace. In 745, the daughter of Wei Zhaoxun, the general of Zuowei Zhonglang, was appointed as Princess Shou, and Xuanzong named Yang as a noble concubine. "Father seizes his son's wife", which became a strange news in the Tang Dynasty palace.
Xuanzong personally composed the song "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes". When he summoned Concubine Yang, he ordered the musicians to play this new music. He gave Yang a gold hairpin and inserted it into her hair. Xuanzong said to the people in the harem: "When I get Concubine Yang, it is like getting the most precious treasure" (Volume 3 of "Secrets of the Ancient and Modern Palaces"). Copying the new song "Getting the Treasure Son" shows the great favor. At that time, there was no new queen in the palace, and everyone in the palace called Yang "Lady", who actually occupied the last position. Zheng Chujie told a story that after Yang Yuhuan was promoted to a noble concubine, a white parrot from Lingnan was presented as a tribute. It could imitate human speech. Xuanzong and Yang Guifei liked it very much and called it "Snowflake Girl". It is "Snowflake Girl". Xuanzong ordered his Ci minister to teach him the poem. After several times, the white parrot could recite it, which was very cute. Whenever Xuanzong played chess with Concubine Yang, and if the situation went against Xuanzong, the eunuchs who served him would call out "Snow Flower Lady" for fear that Xuanzong would lose the game, and the parrot would fly into the chessboard, spread its wings and flap its wings, "to disrupt its ranks." , or peck the hands of the imperial concubines and the kings, so that they cannot fight for the way. "("Miscellaneous Records of the Ming Emperor") Later, this lovely "Snowflake Girl" was pecked to death by an eagle. Xuanzong and Concubine Yang were very sad and buried it in the imperial garden, called the "Parrot Tomb". Yang Weizhen, a poet of the Yuan Dynasty, said in his "Untitled Shishang Hidden Style Poems": "Jin Qi has recently collected Qinghai Jun, and the brocade cage has just released the Snow-clad Lady. "("Tie Ya Ji") is about Xuanzong and Yang Guifei's pet white parrot. Xuanzong cherished his pet white parrot so much, and it goes without saying that he favored Concubine Yang.
Concubine Yang has three sisters, all of whom are of national beauty. They were also summoned to the palace and were given the titles of Lady of Korea, Lady of Guo and Lady of Qin. Each of them was given 100,000 yuan of makeup and powder every month. Mrs. Guo Guo ranked third. She was beautiful with her natural beauty, without fake makeup. Du Fu's poem "The Lady of the State of Guo" says: "The Lady of the State of Guo accepted the Lord's thoughts and mounted her horse to enter the Golden Gate in the bright future. But he dislikes the color of makeup and powder, so he lightly sweeps his eyebrows towards the Supreme Being. "(Volume 2 of "Detailed Notes on Du Shi") is a portrayal of the facts.
Because Concubine Yang was highly favored, her brothers were all given to high officials, and even her distant brother Yang Zhao was originally a scoundrel in the market. Because of his good scheming, Xuanzong gambled with the Yang sisters, so he ordered Yang Zhao to calculate the gambling bills and give her a name. Guozhong, who holds more than ten positions as a branch doctor and controls the government affairs. Xuanzong visited Huaqing Pool and took five families of the Yang family as his retinue. Each family formed a team and wore the same color. The five families formed a colorful team. Jewelry dropped everywhere along the way, sparkling and extravagant. The Yang family married two princesses and two princesses. Xuanzong personally wrote and wrote the family temple monument for the Yang family.
Once, Concubine Yang offended Xuanzong because of her pampering and indulgence, and was condemned by Xuanzong to return to her natal family. However, after the imperial concubine left the palace, Xuanzong could not eat enough, so Gao Litu had to call her back. In 750, the imperial concubine stole the purple jade flute of Twenty-Five Lang (Fen Cheng) and played it alone for her own entertainment. When the incident happened, he was sent out of the palace again for disobeying the decree. After the imperial concubine left the palace, she cut a lock of green silk and asked Zhang Taoguang to bring it to Xuanzong. Xuanzong was horrified and ordered Gao Lishi to recall her. Zhang Hu's poem "Fengwang Xiaoguan" says: "Jin Yu was fortunate enough to have no one to see him, so he secretly blew Fenwang Xiaoguan. "(Volume 5 of "Collection of Poems of the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty") is about this incident. Concubine Yang knew that Xuanzong was without her, so she became restless and even more arrogant. The Yang family "did not ask when entering or leaving the forbidden gate, and the senior officials in the capital looked at her with suspicion." At that time, people had a saying: "Don't be sad when you have a girl, don't be happy when you have a boy." ("The Biography of Yang Taizhen"))) Li Zhao said: "Concubine Yang was born in Shu and likes to eat lychees. Those born in the South China Sea are especially better than those in Shu, so they gallop forward every year. "(Volume 1 of "Supplement to the History of the Tang Dynasty") Du Mu's poem "Passing through the Huaqing Palace" says:
Looking back at the embroidered city in Chang'an, thousands of gates are opened on the top of the mountain.
Riding on the red dust concubine pass, no one knew that the lychees were coming
(Volume 6 of "Middle and Late Tang Poetry Knocking Collection")
It is about the tribute lychees from Lingnan. In later generations, there were "concubine smiles" about lychees in Lingnan. It is said that it got its name from this.
When Tianbao was middle-aged, Fan Yang Jiedushi made An Lushan an outstanding figure and won Xuanzong's favor. He made the Yang sisters and Lushan become brothers and sisters, and Concubine Yang recognized Lushan as her godson. In the name of going to the palace to see his godmother, Lushan blatantly flirted with Concubine Yang.
Concubine Yang celebrated her last birthday in Chang'an on June 1, 755, at the Huaqing Palace. "Fragrance" is the title of the song. In November of the same year, Anlu Mountain rebelled, and Xuanzong entered Sichuan in a hurry. The following year, when passing through Maweiyi (today's west of Xingping County, Shaanxi Province), the army mutinied, forcing Xuanzong to kill Yang Guozhong, and gave Yang Guifei to commit suicide at the age of 38. Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" tells the tragic story of Xuanzong and his imperial concubine.
What is Yang Guifei's crime?
China's history is very interesting. Once the country changes hands and the court is in turmoil, all the sins are attributed to women. In order to please the current emperor, the people who recorded history in the past dynasties always put the blame on some kind-hearted women.
According to the ancient emperors who had supreme power, they used their power to trap the beauties in the deep palace courtyards. They were afraid that these women would get involved with other men, so they built three palaces and six courtyards to give these women their status. All locked inside. It means that these women now belong to the widow. If anyone gets involved, they will be in trouble with the widow. You know, the lighter ones will have their heads on the ground, and the severe ones will kill the whole family and annihilate the nine tribes. That man dared to indulge his ambition, so most of the women who entered the palace and were not favored by the emperor lamented their beauty and grew old, until they died of old age inside. Or, according to the arrangement of the royal family, he may enter a nunnery and spend his life with the blue lantern wooden fish.
According to Tianya, even if the emperor changes one day, each one will take a turn, and the short decades of life will pass by. Therefore, the queens, concubines, empresses, talents and other women living in the palace are all jealous of each other for a man, intrigues, and secretly having sex with each other. No matter what it is, those who want to get close to the stinking emperor will do whatever it takes. Most of the women in the palace are kind when they enter. It is just because the environment has changed their conscience. In other words, all these sins are the fault of the emperor and the original one. It was caused by the rules that those people took photos of the emperor who was happy. If modern marriage laws were adopted, which woman would be willing to share a husband with another woman? No matter whether you are the emperor or the Jade Emperor, my aunt, I can't find another man.
Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty also loved Concubine Yang over three thousand times. This was the highest honor for women living in the palace. But since he had a beautiful woman, he has been intoxicated with beauty all day long, and he is too lazy to even go to court in the morning. This reversed the Anshi Rebellion and caused internal mutiny. Everything pointed the finger at Concubine Yang, as if she was the culprit of this rebellion. Yang Guifei was hanged alive in Maweipo. As for some people saying that she fled to Japan, these are all history anyway. You can think of it however you like.
Concubine Yang was hanged, and the Anshi Rebellion subsided. No one dares to say that Tang Minghuang is lustful. Anyway, even if he is lustful, it is natural. The purpose of compiling the history was probably to please the royal family, and to put all the charges on Concubine Yang. Anyway, this is not the first case in history that "beauties bring disaster". What's the harm in having one more case? Who in the world would dare Talking nonsense about revising history is just like being in trouble with the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who rebels against his ministers and traitors must be punished! With support from all quarters, Concubine Yang was naturally accused of "beauty causing trouble". According to these people, most women who can bear this crime are ordinary people. What about ordinary women who want to bear it but can't? Haha, it seems that Yang Guifei should thank these people for her knowledge.
Later generations wrote many poems and articles to criticize Concubine Yang, and there were also many poems and articles to express her injustice. Most of those who scolded Concubine Yang hated the behavior of Yang Guifei's brother Yang Guozhong, and those who called out for her were mostly sorry for her stunning appearance. Later, in the last generation of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xizong, who said that his playing skills could qualify him for the top prize, also fled to Maweipo to avoid the Huangchao Rebellion. Someone wrote a poem at the post house in Maweipo. As for who wrote the poem, some said it was Luo Yin. Anyway, no matter who it was, the purpose of writing the poem seemed to be to express injustice to Yang Gui. This poem: The smoke in Mawei and the willows are just there, and I am glad to see Luan Yu return to Shu again. At the foot of the spring, Ah Man should have something to say, but this time he would not blame the imperial concubine even more. The general meaning is that this time your descendants have fled to Maweipo and can no longer blame Concubine Yang! It can be regarded as clearing Concubine Yang's guilt.

Also known as: Yang Taizhen Yang Yuhuan
Gender: Female
Dynasty: Tang Dynasty
Birth and death years: 719-756
Country: China
Place of birth: Yongji, Shanxi Province
Origin of name: Yang Guifei Village, on Dutoupo of Leishou Mountain. The noble concubine Yang of the Tang Dynasty was born in Hongnong. Her father, Yuan Yan, lived in Dutou Village in Puzhou, during which she was born. After entering the palace, she was named Guifei, so her village was named Guifei Village. Today's Dutoupo was the village site in the Tang Dynasty.
Life experience: The favored concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. One of the four great beauties in ancient times (Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Wang Zhaojun). A native of Yongle, Puzhou, Tang Dynasty (now Yongji, Shanxi). The small character is Yuhuan, and the number is too true. Continuous temperament. At first she was the concubine of Xuanzong's son Shou Wang, but later she entered the imperial palace and gained favor and was granted the title of noble concubine. The sisters are both distinguished and honorable, and the cousin is loyal to the country and good at state affairs. In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755), Anlu Mountain rebelled in the name of killing Guozhong. Xuanzong rushed to Shu and arrived at Maweiyi (now Xingpingxi, Shaanxi Province). The sergeants killed Guozhong and she was also hanged. He is proficient in music, singing and dancing, and is especially good at "Nancy Clothes and Feather Clothes Dance". It played a certain role in the development of singing and dancing in the Tang Dynasty.
Note on birthplace: Chinese masterpieces such as "Ci Yuan", "Ci Hai", "New Book of Tang", "Old Book of Tang", "Genealogical Records of Chinese Emperors, Queens, Princes, and Princesses" all contain: The birthplace of the imperial concubine is Yongle (Today's Yongji).
The hidden picture reproduces the birthday celebration scene of Concubine Yang.
An existing picture in Huaqing Palace depicts the large-scale celebration scene of Concubine Yang’s birthday (June 1st, Tianbao year). In front of the Feishuang Hall in the Huaqing Palace, there are lights and colorful lights everywhere. The elegant lady in the center of the picture is Yang Guifei. She is good at singing and dancing and is deeply loved by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty especially admired her "Dance of Colorful Clothes and Feather Clothes", which included rapid rotations. In the picture, Concubine Yang danced exactly this dance. The concubine's charming appearance and superb dancing skills made Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty infected by the strong atmosphere, and he took advantage of the opportunity to play the Jie drum. His eyes closely followed the concubine's dancing. The two seemed so in tune and in harmony with each other that the dancers also danced accordingly.
Look at the disciples in the Liyuan in the painting, they are arranged on both sides step by step. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was a musical talent and an emperor who loved singing, dancing and making music. In order to adapt to his hedonistic life, he expanded the institution of court music and dance. He was able to compose music, and legend has it that when he was conducting orchestra rehearsals in the palace, he could hear even a single mistake in a note. He liked "Fa Qu" very much, which is music with singing and dancing in the traditional style of the Central Plains. For this reason, he established a special institution "Liyuan" in the palace to facilitate the rehearsal and performance of "Fa Qu". Tang Huaqing Palace Pear Garden, also called Suijia Pear Garden, was established in the second year of Kaiyuan of Tang Dynasty (AD 714). It is located in the east courtyard of Huaqing Palace. It was first named after the orchard where pear trees were planted.
On the screen, next to the imperial concubine is Xie Aman, who is good at limbo dancing. Xie Aman was good at dancing. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang Guifei liked her very much, so they taught her "Lingbo Dance" personally. Thanks to Aman's cleverness, she quickly learned it. There is also Zhang Yunrong. She has a tall bun, a delicate face, long clothes and wide sleeves, and looks like a fairy. With the ups and downs of the music, she stretched her arms and waist, bringing people into a beautiful artistic realm with her graceful dance. There are also artist Ma Xianqi, musicians Li Guinian, Zhang Yehu, He Huaizhi, etc. Appreciating Concubine Yang's dancing and the wonderful performances of the artists through the screen, it is not difficult for us to imagine the lively festive scene of Huaqing Palace in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, when "blue clouds filled the sky above the Li Palace, and fairy music could be heard everywhere." (Hua Qing)

How to describe the beauty of Concubine Yang in "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"
In "Song of Everlasting Regret", Bai Juyi combined the virtual and the real, from both direct description and indirect description, and used metaphors, foils, renderings, meticulous descriptions and other techniques to depict the beauty of the imperial concubine.
【The emperor of Han Dynasty was obsessed with beauty and wanted to overwhelm the country. He couldn't get it from Yu Yu for many years. There is a daughter in the Yang family who has just grown up. She is raised in a boudoir and no one knows her. ] (Side description) [Natural beauty is hard to give up] (Direct description), once chosen to be on the side of the king. [Looking back and smiling, the sixth palace has no color. 】 (direct description) Hanci bathes in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water washes away the [fat]. (Skin) [The waiter lifts me up weakly] (Beautiful gesture) It is the beginning of the new grace. [Flower face on the temples] (the image of a beautiful woman) The golden step shakes, and the hibiscus tent warms the spring night.
[The spring night is short and the sun is rising. From now on, the king will not go to court early. There is no leisure for Cheng Huan to serve banquets, and all the nights are dedicated to spring outings. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and three thousand people love her. The golden house is made up to serve as a charming lady at night, and the jade tower is full of drunkenness and spring. Sisters and brothers are all from the earth, poor and glorious. Therefore, the hearts of parents all over the world are determined not to be reborn as a boy but to be reborn as a girl. 】 (By writing about Xuanzong's favor, the beauty of the imperial concubine is described in profile).

Extended information:
In this long narrative poem, the author uses concise language, beautiful images, and a combination of narrative and lyrical techniques to describe the love tragedy of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei during the Anshi Rebellion: Their love was ruined by the rebellion they caused. We are endlessly eating the bitter pill of this spirit.
Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang were both historical figures. The poet did not stick to history, but relied on a little shadow of history, based on the legends of the people at that time and the songs of the neighbors, to create a twists and turns and moving story. Describe and sing it in a round and round, sentimental art form.
Because the stories and characters in the poem are all artistic and are complex and true representations of real people, they can create ripples in the hearts of readers of all ages.
At the beginning of the poem, the poet explained the reasons for the chaos in the Tang Dynasty and revealed the tragic elements of the story with the sentence "The Emperor of Han valued beauty and thought of his country." It seems very ordinary, as if the story should have been written from here, and the author did not need to put any thought into it. In fact, these seven words are of great content and are the outline of the whole story. They not only reveal the tragic factors of the story, but also evoke and governs the whole poem.
Everything that follows follows from this. After that, the poem gradually unfolds, narrating layer by layer: First, it talks about Tang Xuanzong's emphasis on color, and after pursuing it in every possible way, he finally takes Concubine Yang into his arms, who "looks back and smiles with all the charm, and the pink and white in the sixth palace have no color." Then, he describes the beauty of Concubine Yang and describes how charming she is and why she is favored in the harem.
"Sisters and brothers are all in the earth", as the saying goes "when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven", the Yang family became powerful and arrogant because of Concubine Yang. After getting Concubine Yang, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty lived a life of indulgence and pleasure, indulging in singing, dancing, drinking and sex all day long, so much so that "from then on, the king did not go to court early in the morning." The poet repeatedly exaggerated this to point out the reasons for the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.
This part is the foundation of the entire love tragedy and the internal cause of "everlasting hatred". "Through this realistic depiction of life in the palace, the poet ironically introduces us to the hero and heroine of the story: an emperor who values beauty over country, and a charming and pampered concubine. He also vividly hints to us that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was obsessed with lust. Misleading the country is the root of this tragedy.
The above is all about the famous scene of Yang Guifei, the brief historical introduction of Yang Guifei, and the related content of Yang Guifei's name. I hope it can help you.
