1. Prologue: The Tang Dynasty shrouded in mystery
The year 756 was the year of the Tang Dynasty in China, but it was also the beginning of a sudden change.
Tang Xuanzong and his favorite concubine Yang Yuhuan enjoyed the luxurious life at the peak of power, but a rebellion called the "Anshi Rebellion" broke the peace of Chang'an City and led the turbulent waves of history.
2. Betrayal and flight: Chang'an's heartless separation
Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan fled from Chang'an in the troubled times and fled all the way to Shudi, Sichuan. Under the harsh environment and the urgency of the pursuing soldiers, the history books recorded that the tragedy of Yang Yuhuan's death occurred in Maweipo.
However, there are other historical materials and legends that Yang Yuhuan did not die in Ma Weipo, but mysteriously disappeared in the chaos, and his whereabouts have become an unsolved mystery for future generations.
3. Mysterious eastward crossing and secluded life
In the Tang Dynasty, exchanges with Japan had already begun, and envoys continued to come and go. According to legend, Yang Yuhuan successfully escaped the territory of the Tang Dynasty with the help of loyal guards and aristocratic forces, and embarked on a secret journey to Japan.
In the land of Dongying (Japan) at that time, Yang Yuhuan changed her name to seclusion, and although she was in a foreign country, she still maintained her elegant demeanor and artistic accomplishment. And her beauty and style have also spread in the local area, and it has become a good story of a generation.
Fourth, the inheritance of the hidden bloodline and Yamaguchi Baihui
Time flies, after centuries of evolution, Yang Yuhuan's blood in Japan has gradually disappeared in the dust of history. It wasn't until the 20th century that a woman named Momoe Yamaguchi appeared in the world's eye.
She shocked the world with her otherworldly beauty and unique artistic talent, which inevitably reminded people of the Tang Dynasty and the legendary beauty thousands of years ago.
Some people speculate that the Japanese actress may be evidence of Yang Yuhuan's descendant, although it cannot be verified, but it adds another mystery to Yang Yuhuan's legend.
5. Cultural integration and eternal legends
Over time, the possible connection between Yang Yuhuan and Yamaguchi Momoe has attracted the attention of historians and cultural researchers. They began to explore whether there was a clue to some kind of cultural convergence between the two.
Yamaguchi's voice and smile, as well as her gentle demeanor, are considered to be the embodiment of the cultural influence of the Tang court.
At the same time, the nobility and strong will displayed in her artistic career and private life seem to have a similar effect to Yang Yuhuan's legendary character.
6. Exploration and Scrutiny: A Symphony of History
Historians have summarized historical sources and parsed legends in an attempt to find a balance between short-lived facts and fiction. In the process, they discovered many related historical documents and ancient Japanese artifacts, which may contain clues to Yang Yuhuan's eastward journey to Japan.
Through careful scrutiny, a possible historical version has been constructed: Yang Yuhuan did flee to Japan, where she lived out the rest of her life, and her children and grandchildren in her later years were integrated into local society, possibly leaving behind a lineage.
And for various reasons, the information of this bloodline has been in an extremely secret state, until the appearance of Yamaguchi Baihui, this mysterious bloodline has become the object of speculation and inquiry from the outside world.
7. Conclusion: The flow of the mystery of love through the ages
The story goes back to modern times, and although there is no solid historical evidence to support the relationship between Yamaguchi Momoe and Yang Yuhuan, such legends add vivid imagination to the cultural heritage of the two eras.
Whatever the truth, this legend that transcends time and space embodies the endless quest for beauty, history and culture. The figure of Yamaguchi Baihui symbolizes the connection between the past and the present, and the story of Yang Yuhuan is like the immortal starlight, shining in the sky of history.
And we, as viewers of later generations, enjoy the reverie and poetry brought by this thousand-year-old mystery, and feel the light and emotion flowing in the depths of time in the back of Yang Yuhuan and the fleeting song of Yamaguchi Baihui.
Between inquiry and imagination, everyone will have their own story of Yang Yuhuan and Yamaguchi Baihui in their hearts.
