Yang Guifei, one of the "Four Beauties", once left a set of precious musical instruments, but in later generations, the instrument inexplicably disappeared. As for where the legendary instruments are? If you want to know, let Xiaobian reveal the secret for you:

"Chang'an looked back at the piles of embroidery, the thousand doors on the top of the mountain opened for the first time, and a red dust concubine laughed, and no one knew that it was a lychee coming." A gentle Tang poem that exhausts the grand scene of the Tang Dynasty period and also interprets the glory of Yang Guifei when she was pampered. On the road from Chang'an to Lingnan, Tang Xuanzong specially used fast horses to transport lychees, but the purpose was only to win the smile of his concubine, and this favored beauty was Yang Yuhuan, the daughter of the shy flower, one of the "four beauties" in ancient times.
Yang Yuhuan was born in a family of eunuchs, and his father was also a high official in Shuzhong, and after passing through the media, Yang Yuhuan married Li Mao, the King of Shou. But no one could have imagined that on the wedding day, Li Longji, as the emperor, took a look at Yang Yuhuan and looked at the beauty in front of him, he thought about right and wrong, and even had an impulse to accept him as a concubine. Of course, Tang Xuanzong was well aware of the etiquette and knew that Yang Yuhuan was his son's wife, and his father's open robbery of his daughter-in-law would indeed be ridiculed by the world.
But the emperor was the emperor after all, and after the death of Tang Xuanzong's favorite concubine Wu Huifei, he felt more and more empty in his soul, and his thoughts for Yang Yuhuan were also doubly urgent. Finally, at the suggestion of the official eunuch Gao Lishi, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ordered that Yang Yuhuan be demoted to a Daogu, cut off her relationship with her son Li Mao, and quickly returned her to the palace after a few months, from then on, there was Yang Guifei, who was known to women and children.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's favor for Yang Guifei was a thousand times greater than that of Wu Huifei, and in the face of Yang Guifei, who was younger than his own daughter, Li Longji's love was like the sea. Yang Guifei has always loved to eat lychees, it is said that when Guifei eats lychees, the cherry can not swallow the whole lychee in a small bite, so it is necessary to gently bite a piece, and it is this action that makes Tang Xuanzong addicted. In order to allow the noble concubines to eat more lychees, Tang Xuanzong specially ordered people to transport lychees from Lingnan to Chang'an with fast horses, during which countless horses were exhausted, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources, but Tang Xuanzong still enjoyed it.
Zhao Feiyan of the Han Dynasty was able to dance in the palm of his hand, and Yang Guifei also had her own area of proficiency, because she was influenced by a good environment from an early age, so her kung fu of knocking was a must. It is a special percussion instrument in ancient China, and it is also a recognized ceremonial instrument, which originated from a certain flaky stone labor tool, and its shape has changed in many ways later. Generally speaking, there are many kinds of materials for making chimes in ancient times, including gold, copper, jade, etc., because the sound of its percussion is crisp and pleasant, so it is called the "stone" sound in the "eight tones". Yang Guifei would often perform the chime for Tang Xuanzong, and in order to reward the noble concubine Niangniang, Emperor Xuanzong personally ordered someone to make a chime with the best Blue Field Jade and give it to the Noble Concubine Niangniang. It is said that the Lantian Jade Gong can make an extremely pleasant sound when it is tapped, and the notes played by the beauty strikes, so Emperor Xuanzong is very satisfied, and he does not forget to praise the crowd after each viewing.
Unfortunately, since the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty began to go downhill, and Emperor Xuanzong finally paid the price for his absurd behavior. On the way to Sichuan led by Tang Xuanzong, passing by a place called "Ma Songpo", the generals had been resentful for a long time and eventually led to a mutiny, demanding that Yang Guifei, who was "red-faced and troubled by water", be killed. Tang Xuanzong had no choice but to endure the pain of cutting love to give his lover to death, and watched her xiang disappear and die. After that, the crown prince Li Heng returned to the capital to inherit the throne, but was controlled by Empress Zhang, and even after Tang Xuanzong returned, he could only become the emperor and live in the Western Palace, which was monitored by people.
Curiously, the history books do not mention the whereabouts of the Lantian Jade Stone after the Anshi Rebellion, where did it end up? The jury is still out. However, we can infer that there are roughly three possibilities: the first Lantian Jade Stone is likely to be burned in the midst of the rebel army, after all, the war will destroy all good things. The second Lantian jade pipe may be stolen by some people who are greedy, especially the eunuchs in the palace who are in charge of the property of the internal affairs office, who are the most suspicious people. The Third Lantian Jade Stone may be destroyed. Empress Zhang herself was a wise man, and her presence even in The Lantian Jade Stone would have a detrimental effect, so in order to eliminate the poison of the Tang Xuanzong period, the empress herself would most likely order someone to destroy it in order to consolidate her power.
No matter what the result is, we will feel sorry, because in the eyes of the ancients, the Lantian Jade Chi may be just an object, but in our eyes, it is an important cultural relic, but also a treasure, and it is indeed a pity when you think about it carefully.
