Looking back at Chang 'an City in Huaqing Palace, there are piles of embroidery, and thousands of doors on the top of the mountain are opened for the first time. No one knows about the fresh fruit litchi sent by the south when riding on the smile of smoke and smoke. Litchi sighed Su Shi's flying dust in ten miles, and a soldier in five miles was urged by fire. I know it's pear branches and longan branches. Flying over the mountains and seas, the wind blows the branches and leaves like new flowers. Palace beauty a broken face, the court shocked, blood shed. Yongyuan Li went to Jiaozhou, and Tianbao Naluo was a tribute. So far, I want to eat meat from Fu Lin, and no one has ever traveled. I hope god has mercy on the child, I won't get sores. Rain is good for gold, and people will not be hungry and cold. Don't you see the millet buds by Wuyi Creek, which are caged in Cai Xiang behind the tripod. Strive for new pets, each with his own plans, and strive for official tea this year. This is what my king lacks, which leads to poor mouth. Luoyang Xiang Jun was loyal to his family, and pity also entered Yao Huanghua. The story of Yang Guifei eating litchi Specifically, Yang Guifei, who loves 3,000 yuan, was born in Sichuan (native of Shanxi) and likes to eat litchi in eastern Sichuan since childhood. Later, she found that litchi in Guangxi and Guangdong tasted better, and the court specially arranged Lingnan area to pay tribute to the best litchi for the imperial concubine to enjoy every year.
Because Tang Xuanzong loved Yang Guifei, he naturally tried his best to satisfy her preference. Eating litchi and eating fresh litchi-this important issue has also been put on the table. At that time, the distance from Lingnan, which is rich in litchi, to Chang 'an was more than 2 100 km.
Litchi is not easy to preserve. In the Tang Dynasty without modern means of transportation, it was very difficult to transport litchi from the south to Chang 'an by flying horse. However, in order to please Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty made people ride fast horses and transported litchi from Lingnan for seven days and seven nights to Chang 'an for Yang Guifei to enjoy.
Yang Yuhuan was born in an official family at the beginning of June in the seventh year of Kaiyuan (7 19). His great grandfather, Wang Yang, was a minister of the Sui Dynasty and was killed by Li Shimin in the early Tang Dynasty. Father Yang Xuanyan used to be a manager in Zhou Shu; My uncle is from Cao, Henan, and spent his childhood.
In the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan, Yang Yuhuan, who was about 65,438 years old, was fostered in his uncle Hsuan Yang's home.
Yang Yuhuan is born beautiful, and the superior educational environment makes her have a certain cultural accomplishment, elegant personality, proficient in temperament, good at singing and dancing, and good at playing the pipa. In Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow, it is described as: but due to the gift of heaven and the undeniable grace, it was finally elected to the royal family one day.
In July of the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Princess Xianyi, the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, held a wedding in Luoyang, and Yang Yuhuan was also invited to attend. Li Mao, the younger brother of Princess Xianyi, fell in love with Yang Yuhuan at first sight. At the request of Wu Huifei, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wrote a letter that year to make her a shroud princess. After the marriage, the two were very loving.
Wu Huifei died in the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737). Li Mao's mother, Wu Huifei, was the favorite concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and she was treated as a queen in the palace. Xuanzong was therefore very unhappy. At that time, the harem Qian Qian was absolutely meaningless. Some people say that "the charm should be all over the courtyard", so Xuanzong recruited Yang into the harem.
In the 28th year of Kaiyuan (740), she wrote a letter to Yang in the name of the mother of Xuanzong, Dou Taihou, and became a female Taoist in the name of "Taizhen".
In the fourth year of Tianbao (745), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty named Princess Shou, the daughter of Wei, as the imperial concubine. Since Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty abolished the king and queen, Yang Guifei was equivalent to the queen.

The story of Yang Guifei eating litchi The most famous story of litchi is related to beautiful women. One of the four beauties in the history of China is Yang Guifei, the beloved princess of Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The love story between Tang and Yang Guifei is a household name in China.
Yang Guifei was born in July19, and now she is from Yongji, Shanxi. She is plump, beautiful, gentle and considerate. She has been proficient in music and dance since childhood. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, she became the princess of Shouwang, the 18th son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Wu Huifei, the favorite of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was very sad after his death. After seeing the truly beautiful Yang Guifei, he sent her to the palace. Accompanied by Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty gradually neglected state affairs.
Tang Xuanzong indulged in debauchery all day, Yang Guifei's family was in power for a while, politics became more and more corrupt, and the power of border generals gradually grew, and finally the "Anshi Rebellion" broke out. In 756, Yang Guifei was hanged by a soldier in West Ma Po, Xingping City, Shaanxi Province. The "Anshi Rebellion" lasted for seven years, and the Tang Dynasty began to turn from prosperity to decline.
As one of the four beauties in ancient China, people feel sympathy and regret for Yang Guifei, and the story about her has always been talked about by people. Litchi, a fruit we often eat in summer, is also Yang Guifei's favorite. Du Mu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, told this true story in his poem Crossing the Qing Palace.
"Chang' an looks back at the embroidered pile, and the top of the mountain opens thousands of times. Riding the world of mortals and laughing, no one knew it was litchi. "Litchi is not easy to preserve. In the Tang Dynasty without modern means of transportation, it was very difficult to transport litchi from the south to Chang 'an by flying horse. However, in order to please Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty made people ride fast horses and transported litchi from Lingnan for seven days and seven nights to Chang 'an for Yang Guifei to enjoy. On the way to transport litchi, officers and men are often exhausted. Their hardship was only a smile from Yang Guifei, but people didn't know that litchi was sent, but they thought it was an urgent document.

No one knows that it is litchi.
The drums in Yuyang awakened a night's dream of spring, and Ma Yili had already filled in a bleak rest for Song of Eternal Sorrow. Fortunately, the old vine and the faint crow are a once-in-a-lifetime sadness.
When Tianbao was in middle age, he asked An Lushan to do border defense work, which won the favor of Xuanzong, and made the Yang sisters and Lushan become brothers and sisters, while Yang Guifei recognized Lushan as his adopted son. Lushan openly flirted with Yang Guifei in the name of entering the palace to see his foster mother.
What is the story of Yang Guifei and Litchi? The story of Yang Guifei and Litchi is that when Yang Guifei wants to eat Litchi, it is naturally Tang Xuanzong's words. Although the road is long and full of difficulties, it is nothing. Then it is far from the origin of litchi. Litchi is delicious only when it is fresh, but in ancient times, the preservation technology was not enough, so it was too fast, killing people and horses.
Writer Su Shi has a poem "Litchi Tan", which describes the scene of Yang Guifei eating litchi at that time. The poem sighs: "Flying over the mountains and storks crossing the sea, the leaves are like new flowers. The beauty in the palace broke her face, and she was shocked by the dust and blood for thousands of years. " Many people put their lives in relay races that cross mountains and rivers again and again, and as a result, they "started the dust and shed blood." Finally, litchi was spread to the palace like a new pick. Mr. Su Lao's poem can be summed up in a vernacular: the litchi that Yang Guifei stuffed into her mouth was soaked with the blood and sweat of others.
The reason why Yang Guifei loves litchi: With the completion of the rescue archaeological excavation of Gao Lishi's tomb, the truth finally came out.
Gao Lishi's Tomb is located in Shanxi Village, Baonan Township, pucheng county, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province. It is the burial tomb of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Archaeological results show that Gao Lishi, whose real name is Feng, was born in Panzhou (now Maoming, Guangdong Province) and was sent to the palace in his childhood, and his surname is Gao. When studying the epitaph recording Gao Lishi's life, experts found unexpectedly that the litchi sent to the palace by Yima for Yang Guifei was a high-quality early-maturing litchi produced in Gao Lishi's hometown, named "White papaya". It can be seen that Yang Guifei would never be so interested in Lingnan litchi without Gao Lishi's recommendation. The experts then came to the conclusion that "the imperial concubine's love for litchi originated from Gao Lishi".
How long did it take Yang Guifei to eat lychee in ancient times? "Chang' an looks back at the piles of embroidery, and thousands of doors are open at the top of the mountain. When I laughed on the world of mortals, no one knew it was litchi. "The famous sentence left by Du Mu in the Palace of the Qing Dynasty has spread the reputation of litchi throughout the ages, but few people know how litchi, which was extremely perishable in the Tang Dynasty, was transported from the south to Chang 'an.
Litchi fresh fruit goes bad easily. Bai Juyi said in the preface to litchi pictures: "If you leave this branch, it will change color one day, become fragrant on the second day, change flavor on the third day, and lose its color and fragrance on the fourth and fifth days." As can be seen from the historical records, all the dignitaries in the ancient north ate fresh fruit. To this end, the "Litchi Road" was specially opened to transport Litchi from south to north. The traditional explanation of "a concubine riding the world of mortals laughs" is that there was no air transport in those days. In order to let Yang Guifei eat fresh lychees of various colors and flavors, she had to send someone to change the lychees just picked into fast horses at a station and deliver them to Beijing the same day. Therefore, when Yang Guifei saw the dust from the fast horse, she knew that someone had sent her a favorite litchi, so she was all smiles. But from common sense, Lingnan is thousands of miles away from Chang 'an, and even the fastest horse can't arrive in one day. Later generations believed that the fresh litchi that Yang Guifei ate was sent to Chang 'an by transplanting this big tree with fruit. According to historical records: "Litchi with roots is planted in vessels, and it is transported from the southern part of Chu State to the Danhe River in Xiangyang in the northern part of Chu State to places where ships in Shangzhou and Qinling Mountains can't reach. However, if the fruit is ripe, it will be picked over the ridge and airlifted to Huaqingguan, so it can arrive within one day. " In addition, there are two different views. Some people think that litchi is the earliest fruit stored at low temperature and controlled atmosphere in China. "Guangdong Xinyu" records a method: "If the tree is harvested well, the pedicel is left one inch and sealed with wax, but after the pedicel is cut off, the incision is sealed with wax, and the taste and color will not change after several months." Xu Bo introduced another method in his Lychee Book: "Villagers often choose bright red litchi. They chose giant bamboo to cut a hole in the forest and put it on the Litchi Festival. They still use bamboo rafts wrapped in mud to seal the gaps. They can be hidden in winter and spring, with the same color and fragrance. " Yang Guifei eats an ancient poem of litchi, and Tang Du Mu's "Crossing Huaqing Palace"
Looking back at Chang 'an, Mount Li is like a pile of splendid scenery, and the doors of Huaqing Palace at the top of the mountain are opened in turn. No one knows about the fresh fruit litchi sent by the south when riding on the smile of smoke and smoke. What about the lychee that Yang Guifei ate? From Sichuan.
Judging from the traffic conditions at that time, the distance of four or five thousand miles, even the developed post biography in the Tang Dynasty, was close to the limit of horse speed (here, it does not refer to the daily mileage of a horse, but to the total distance that many post horses run in turn);
It will take ten days for litchi to keep fresh; The traffic from Sichuan to Chang 'an and crossing the Qinling Mountains is just in line with the scenes of "Looking Back at Chang 'an" and "Thousands of Gates on the Peak". It only takes two or three days to ensure the freshness of litchi.

The efficacy of litchi:
1 to replenish energy for the body.
Litchi can provide sufficient nutrition for brain tissue, relieve fatigue, improve insomnia and forgetfulness, and achieve the effect of strengthening the body. Litchi pulp is rich in sucrose and glucose, which can supplement the energy needed by the body and increase nutrition, but it can't be eaten on an empty stomach, because fresh litchi has a high sugar content, which will bring * * * to the gastric mucosa and cause abdominal distension and stomach pain.
2. Enhance the immune system function
Litchi meat is rich in vitamin C and protein, which can improve the immune system and the ability to resist viruses and bacteria. However, litchi is hot, so people with dry stools, habitual constipation and inflamed internal heat should eat as little as possible. In addition, patients with diabetes, liver and renal insufficiency and gastrointestinal diseases can't eat it. Eat no more than 80 grams of lychee every day, which means no more than 5 pieces every day.
