Born in the 7th year of the New Century (719), Yang Yuhuan, also known as Yang Guifei, was a famous court musician and dancer during the Tang Dynasty. Personal experience is more legendary, the grandfather was once an official of the Sui Dynasty was killed by Li Shimin, and later became a concubine of Li Mao, the King of Shou, at the age of 21 because of his outstanding posture. Later, li mao's father, tang xuanzong, who was then emperor, was favored, and first used a ruse to make Yang Yuhuan out of the family, and then issued an edict to make her vulgar and enter the palace and be crowned as a noble concubine. Since then, thousands of graces have been in one, and even the family has been blessed continuously. During her reign, Yang Guifei was angry with Emperor Xuanzong because of jealousy, so that she was sent out of the palace twice, but Emperor Xuanzong was difficult to give up, but unfortunately, the Later Zhengshi recorded that anshi rebellion was given to die in Ma songpo (present-day Xingping, Shaanxi). Peony flowers are the flower metamorphosis of Yang Guifei, representing its grace and magnificence and the atmosphere of the national color and heavenly fragrance. Later poems, novels, songs, and film and television works about Yang Guifei appeared in an endless stream. Li Baizuo's "QingPing Tone" wrote that "the clouds want to dress and flowers, and the spring breeze blows Revlon" and "The famous flowers fall into the country and the two sides rejoice, and the king looks at it with a smile." Bai Juyi's "Long Hate Song" has "looking back at a smile and smiling, the six palaces are pink and colorless." "Since the 1927 film and television "Yang Guifei", there have been more than 35 film and television works in which Yang Guifei has appeared as the main or auxiliary plot.
Yang Yuhuan in the legend story
Controversy over place of birth
Yang Guifei's birthplace is controversial, including Huayin County (Huayin, Shaanxi), Yongle County (Yuncheng, Shanxi), Shuzhou (Chongzhou, Chengdu), Rongzhou (Rongxian, Guangxi), and Fuxiang (Lingbao City, Henan Province), of which Fuxiang is relatively close.
The whereabouts are a mystery
There are many theories about the death of Yang Guifei, Tang Xuanzong Bai Aya gave death, the rebel army killed, swallowed gold and died, and so on. It is said that when Yang Guifei fled with Tang Xuanzong during the Anshi Rebellion, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army led by Chen Xuanli, believing that Yang Guifei had harmed the country and the people, unanimously demanded the execution of Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei, and later killed Yang Guozhong with a knife. At first, Tang Xuanzong was reluctant to listen to Gao Lishi's persuasion and gave Yang Yuhuan death. Yang Yuhuan was 38 years old at this time and died under the pear tree of the Buddhist hall with a white aya. Later, after the Anshi Rebellion was settled, Tang Xuanzong was full of guilt and sent people to search for the remains, but they were never found.
Origin of the name
Yang Guifei's real name should be "Yang Yu". The name Yang Yuhuan was not first written in the Old Book of Tang and the New Book of Tang, and the Zizhi Tongjian was only recorded as "Yang Xuanyan's daughter", and about 100 years after his death, Zheng Shujie's "Miscellaneous Records of the Ming Emperor" was mentioned for the first time: "Yang Guifei's small character Yuhuan". Later, Yang Guifei's name was determined to be "Yang Yuhuan". In addition, historical research has found that Yang Guifei's three names of "Jade Slave", "Jade Niang" and "Yuhuan" are real, and the three words of slave, niang and ring are all a kind of foil for Yang Guifei's name in different periods. Yu Nu is said to be her childhood favorite name; Yu Niang is her honorific title before her canonization; Yuhuan is of a ridiculous nature, which is the nickname of people after she was crowned a noble concubine and her body was blessed.
Jade ring shy flowers
The allusion to Yang Yuhuan's shy flower is actually a kind of "mimosa". Legend has it that when Yang Yuhuan first entered the palace, he frowned because he could not see the emperor. Once, she and the palace ladies were enjoying the flowers in the palace garden, and accidentally touched the mimosa, and the leaves of the grass were immediately "shyly" rolled up. The palace ladies all said that this was Yang Yuhuan's beauty, which made the flowers and grasses ashamed of themselves and too ashamed to look up. Later, Tang Xuanzong heard that there was a "shy beauty" in the palace, and immediately summoned him and made him a noble concubine. After this, "shy flower" also became Yang Guifei's elegant name.
The concubine smiled
It is said that Yang Guifei loved to eat lychees, and later Tang Xuanzong, in order to please her, ordered people to quickly send fresh lychees with dew drops from Lingnan, Guangdong (also known as Sichuan or Fujian). It is always necessary to appoint special personnel to transport fresh lychees with dew from Sichuan (some say from Guangdong and Fujian) through every five or ten mile of stationwork. Later, Du Mu's poem "Three Songs of The Huaqing Palace" (one of which) wrote: "A red dust concubine laughs, and no one knows that it is a lychee coming.". Imagine that when a beautiful person who has fallen in love with the country eats lychees with fine wine and delicacies, "Hua Qingsheng is drunk in the song of neon, and the noble concubines smile thickly", she looks back at Tang Xuanzong and smiles, and the six palaces have no color." " scene. History freezes at this moment, forming a beautiful picture.
The noble concubine was drunk
It is said that Yang Guifei went to the flower viewing pavilion with Tang Xuanzong on a certain day to enjoy the flowers and drink together the next day, but the next day she did not wait, and later heard the palace people report that the emperor had gone to Jiang Fei's side. So in the case of anger, she borrowed wine to pour sorrow, oblivious, wandering skeleton, flattering life. The scene was also unforgettable by the palace people, and later, the noble concubine drunk became a famous scene of Yang Yuhuan.
Beauty secrets
Everyone has a heart for beauty, and Yang Guifei's beauty is not only a natural beauty, but also the blessing of acquired beauty. For example, Yang Guifei abandoned the heavy makeup and light brushing, showing the natural beauty of the human body, which also avoided the poisoning of lead and mercury in ancient cosmetics and avoided skin aging in advance; Yang Guifei loved hot spring bathing and patting. While she and Tang Xuanzong enjoyed themselves in Huaqing Pond, she often ordered people to immerse peony danpi, mulberry leaves, nettles, etc. in water, thereby calming the nerves, promoting skin regeneration, making it smooth and smooth, and often slapping the acupuncture points of the whole body when bathing, promoting blood circulation and strengthening skin function; she also often ate an appropriate amount of lychee to supplement nutrition, benefit the heart and spleen, nourish the liver and blood, and benefit people's color. In the case of internal and external adjustments, Yang Guifei also became more and more beautiful, and was deeply infatuated by Tang Xuanzong.
Queen's Mystery
It is very strange that Yang Guifei was deeply favored but was not crowned empress. In fact, through the historical records, it is not difficult to speculate that on the one hand, Tang Xuanzong was originally snatched from his son Li Mao through some means, the Tang Dynasty was influenced by foreign cultures, extremely open, no one dared to say anything, in order to appease Li Mao, he first gave Li Mao a marriage, and later could not restrain his favor for Yang Guifei, love the house and Wuxia, and promoted many of her relatives and friends as important officials. However, because of gang chang ethics, he has not been able to turn the stolen daughter-in-law into a real empress of the world, and he is also easy to 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 imperial court, and it is very risky to crown her as empress, which 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 empress's son was to be made crown prince in the future, and Yang Guifei, who had no heirs, had no reason to be canonized, and later until Yang Guifei was given the right to die in Ma Songpo, there was still no chance to be posthumously.
Follow in the footsteps of Yang Guifei
Tomb of Yang Guifei
Located 500 meters west of Mazhen, Xingping Ridge, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, there is Yang Yuhuan's crown tomb, the tomb is hemispherical, 3 meters high, and the entire tomb is wrapped in green bricks. In front of the tomb, there is a stele building with the inscription: "Tomb of Tang Xuanzong's noble concubine Yang Shi". Behind the tomb is a marble statue of Yang Guifei, which is about 6 meters high. At first, the tomb was surrounded by no green bricks, and later legend has it that women used the soil (guifei powder) on the tomb of the noble concubine to rub their faces, which could remove the black spots on the face, making the facial muscles delicate and white. Later, some people continued to follow suit, the tomb pile became smaller and smaller, and the tomb keepers continued to add soil to the tomb pile, but soon they were taken out. Later, in order to protect the grave, it had to be wrapped with green bricks.
Former residence of Yang Guifei
It is located 100 meters east of Dutou Village, Shouyang Township, Yongji City, Shanxi Province. It is a nearly 100-acre imitation Tang dynasty residence, which is a castle-like single-house three-entry courtyard, built according to the mountainous terrain, running north-south, overlooking the Yellow River. The building is divided into a fort gate, a lower court, a middle court, an upper court, a west garden, and a noble concubine pool, from bottom to top, built on a central axis.
Tang HuaQing Palace
Located in Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, Huaqing Palace was founded in the early Tang Dynasty and flourished after The reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Inside, you can see the ruins of the "Guifei Pond" given to Yang Yuhuan by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, which is relatively well preserved.
The most important thing is that the emperor's heart cannot be retained, saying what is "in the heavenly wish to be compared to the winged bird, in the earth willing to be a branch." "When the power and crisis came, the man who was all right for Yang Guifei still chose to give up on her, how treacherous he was when he took it by force, how quickly he gave up." It is a pity that Yang Yuhuan's fate is ultimately between the transfer of hands and men, and in the end he is still disappointed, and Xiang Yuyu dies. The reason why beautiful people have short lives, and the reason why red faces and thin lives are easy to become a norm is because their excessive beauty leads to crimes. Beauty is not the original sin, she has no reason to be disappointed, fate always likes to joke with helpless people. If you can, I hope that she will really become the "Taizhen" fairy in the Penglai Palace as the legend goes, dancing her favorite neon dress feather dance.
