In ancient China, since Zheng He began to rule, the wives of emperors of all dynasties were called queens. Many emperors have various titles of wing rooms, and different dynasties have different titles. Imperial concubine is actually a title of the emperor's side room, but this title did not come into being simultaneously with the title of the emperor. According to the examination, the title of imperial concubine was first set in Liu Ge to the Southern Dynasties, ranking second only to the queen, and has been set up along the Qing Dynasty ever since. I'm afraid few people will pay attention to her anymore, but now when it comes to the word "imperial concubine", the first thing people think of is Yang Guifei, who was knighted during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. There is no doubt that Yang Guifei was the most famous imperial concubine in ancient China, and it can even be said that the imperial concubine has now become synonymous with her. When people talk about the imperial concubine, as long as they don't take their surnames, no one will mistake it for Zhang Guifei's Li Guifei or San Guifei, but everyone knows that it refers to Yang Guifei. It is said that Yang Guifei is a peerless beauty. She is plump and sexy, which fully embodies the elegant beauty respected by the Tang Dynasty. According to "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty", she was born in Yongle, Qingzhou (now Yongji, Shanxi), the concubine of Li, the son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Because of her beauty, good melody and good dancing, she was attracted by Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, so she was taught to become a nun.
In 745 A.D., she was made an imperial concubine, and her sisters were all dignitaries, so her cousin Yang was reused and her politics was ruined. However, she once fell out of favor, and later generations specially made up a play called "The Imperial Lady is Drunk". With the help of Yang He, she was once again favored by Xuanzong and received the same courtesy. Finally, An Lushan demands national loyalty. Tang Xuanzong had no choice but to flee the capital Chang 'an and come to Makepo, where "the soldiers in the army stopped and no one moved" and General Chen, and then demanded the execution of Yang Guifei on the charge of "stirring up trouble". In this way, a generation of beautiful women died in front of Emei at the age of 38.
