In the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, there were many famous women in history, the most famous of which was Wu Zetian. She was the only woman to ascend the throne as emperor and possessed immense power and wisdom. However, behind her, there is another woman who also has a splendid life and legendary story, she is Shangguan Wan'er.
In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there are many amazing female figures, the most well-known of which is Wu Zetian. However, Wu Zetian was not the only woman in the Tang court with a chaotic private life. Behind her, there is an equally amazing woman - Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er, a palace maid in the court of the Tang Dynasty, was deeply favored by the emperor. She was beautiful, intelligent and witty, and was the most favored of all the palace ladies. However, her private life is even more chaotic than Wu Zetian. Shangguan Wan'er, originally a beautiful child famous for Wu Zetian's favor, her beauty made the princes of the Western Regions compete to propose marriage, and many military generals of the Tang Dynasty fell for it. However, Wan'er's private life is even more chaotic than Wu Zetian. Contrary to many rumors, Wan'er did not have an affair with Wu Zetian, but had a turbulent emotional entanglement with many ministers and army generals. She attracts and confuses ministers with her unique charm, playing Game of Thrones.
First of all, Shangguan Wan'er's fatherhood is controversial. According to court insider rumors, Shangguan Wan'er's real father was not a high-ranking official in the palace, but an ordinary person from Jiangnan. However, after Shangguan Wan'er was discovered, her mother brought her into the court and handed her over to the emperor to raise. The identity of this illegitimate daughter was rumored and speculated, and became a major topic in the court.
Among them, the most shocking is the relationship between her and Fang Xuanling, who is in power. Fang Xuanling was known for his talent and political skills, and he should have fought for the national righteousness of the Tang Dynasty. However, he lost his mind in his relationship with Wan'er, not only giving up his ambition to pursue supreme power, but also privately tampering with the epitaph of the Tang Dynasty, weakening Wan'er's merits and status one by one to alleviate his sins.
Secondly, Shangguan Wan'er's love life is equally staggering. As a palace maid, she was supposed to serve the emperor faithfully, but she privately pursued her love. It is said that Shangguan Wan'er had emotional entanglements with several men in the court, including a prince and a high-ranking official. This kind of behavior was extremely rare in the court, and it was even more incredible that she could maintain these feelings so smoothly without being detected by the emperor. This made many people wonder if there was a more mysterious power behind Shangguan Wan'er.
And this truth was not revealed until the Tang Dynasty was dying and the long river of history was rushing endlessly. A historian, by an accident, found a doctored epitaph, which recorded the true story of Shangguan Wan'er. For a time, the papers of historians caused great controversy and attention, and people became very interested in this history.
The most shocking thing is that a tampered epitaph reveals the true identity of Shangguan Wan'er. It is said that after her death, the court built a luxurious mausoleum for her. However, over time, the mausoleum gradually became forgotten. Until recently, an archaeological team from the court accidentally discovered a doctored epitaph in the mausoleum.
In the epitaph, Shangguan Wan'er is not a woman full of intrigue and betrayal, on the contrary, she is a woman who is pampered and demanded by everyone. She is gentle and kind, and accepts her identity and status. The love between her and Fang Xuanling is not wishful thinking, but a sincere emotional blend between them. However, Fang Xuanling, because of the desire for power, because of fear and guilt, distorted historical facts and knocked Wan'er down in the dust.
After expert identification, this epitaph is full of mysteries and incredible contents. The epitaph writes that Shangguan Wan'er's father was not an ordinary person from Jiangnan, but a nobleman from the ancient country. This ancient country is said to have magical powers beyond human imagination, and Shangguan Wan'er inherited this power. The epitaph also records her emotional entanglements with the prince and high-ranking officials, and claims that she was a witch who could manipulate men's hearts.
The discovery shocked the entire academic community and made Shangguan Wan'er a controversial topic. People began to re-examine the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty and rethink this era full of legendary stories. The revelation of Wan'er's private life also makes people think new about historical judgment and evaluation of women.
However, history has passed, although the truth has been revealed, the glory of the Tang Dynasty will not be forgotten. Although Shangguan Wan'er has a chaotic personal life, she is also full of strong humanity and emotions. The historical traces left by her, whether true or false, highlight the unique charm and ideological pursuit of the Tang Dynasty woman.
This is puzzling. Is Shangguan Wan'er an ordinary palace maid, or a witch with mysterious powers? Why is her private life even more chaotic than Wu Zetian? These mysteries may only be solved with time. The history of the Tang Dynasty has left many mysteries, and Shangguan Wan'er's mausoleum and doctored epitaph are just one of them. Let's continue to explore this falsified history of the Tang Dynasty and see what other mysterious events are not recorded in the history books.
In the history of the Tang Dynasty, although women's achievements were mostly hidden in the shadow of patriarchal society, Shangguan Wan'er's story regarded her as a model of women's independent thinking and pursuit of personal value. Although the historical fragments are not perfectly revealed, this does not prevent us from reacquainting ourselves with this legendary woman.
