Yang Yuhuan is a beautiful and talented woman, a woman who is unlucky but bears the blame, and a woman who has been famous for her pet and let people sigh for thousands of years.
As one of the "four beauties", Yang Yuhuan was born beautiful and gentle. "till a little child of the Yang clan, hardly even grown, bred in an inner chamber, with no one knowing her. But with graces granted by heaven and not to be concealed, at last one day was chosen for the imperial household. If she but turned her head and smiled, there were cast a hundred spells, and the powder and paint of the Six Palaces faded into nothing. It was early spring. They bathed her in the FlowerPure Pool, which warmed and smoothed the creamy-tinted crystal of her skin. " Bai Juyi, a poet, described Yang Yuhuan as more beautiful than a fairy in Song of Eternal Sorrow. No wonder after Wu Huifei's death, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, tried to get his daughter-in-law, Yang Yuhuan, into his own hands.
Yang Yuhuan knows rhythm and is good at singing and dancing. Li Longji is a master of melody. He once wrote "colorful plumage" himself. When he summoned Yang Guifei, he asked musicians to play it, and put the golden hairpin in her bun. At that time, Yang Yuhuan, who was proficient in music and dance, danced gracefully, which won the favor of Tang Xuanzong.
She is also a woman who is unlucky and bears eternal infamy. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty told the imperial secretary, "If I get Yang Guifei, I will get a treasure." Yang Yuhuan actually lived in the position of the queen and got infinite favor. After all, the days of "riding a princess in the world of mortals and laughing, no one knew it was litchi" were short, and the joy of "Huaqing singing and getting drunk, and the imperial concubine laughing at the wine dew" quickly vanished. History ended the splendor of Yang Yuhuan "but his favours to three thousand were concentered in one body" in the fireworks of An Shi Rebellion. Chen Xuanli, the imperial guard, forced Li Longji to put an end to Yang Yuhuan's life after the Mayiyi mutiny.
The emotional story of Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji makes people call for the true feelings in the sigh. Yang Yuhuan is famous for Li Longji, and Li Longji is tired of her home country. She is undoubtedly a tragic figure. Du Fu once sighed in Ai Jiang Tou, "where are those perfect eyes, where are those pearly teeth?, a blood-stained spirit has no home, has nowhere to return." But beyond the story of Li Yang, people call for the true feelings of the world. Although "earth endures, heaven endures; some time both shall end, while this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever", who doesn't expect loyalty like "that we wished to fly in heaven, two birds with the wings of one, and to grow together on the earth, two branches of one tree."?
When I was in junior high school, I studied the "Anshi Rebellion" in history class. I knew that the reason for the outbreak of the "Anshi Rebellion" was that Tang Xuanzong loved Yang Guifei, drinking and having fun in the harem all day, and ignored the state affairs, which led to the outbreak of the "Anshi Rebellion". Since then, the powerful Datang has gradually weakened. It is concluded that Yang Guifei is a standard "femme fatale" and a sinner of the Tang Dynasty.
With the growth of age, now I feel that my previous understanding is a bit one-sided. The outbreak of "An Shi Rebellion" has a lot to do with Tang Xuanzong's love for Yang Guifei and his neglect of state affairs. However, according to historical records, as early as the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, that is, in 734 AD, when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty dismissed the sage Zhang Jiuling and appointed Li Linfu as the prime minister, it began to sow the seeds for later tragedies. Before that, when Zhang Jiuling was the prime minister, he had seen An Lushan and predicted that he would make an insurrection in the future. At that time, An Lushan was defeated and went to Beijing, so he asked Tang Xuanzong to behead him. Unfortunately, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty didn't listen. Later, when he was driven out of Chang 'an by An Lushan and rushed to Shu, he remembered Zhang Jiuling's advice and was deeply remorseful. It can be seen that the outbreak of the "An Shi Rebellion" was mainly due to the fact that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty had been the Taiping Emperor for too long and had no sense of taking precautions, and more importantly, his improper employment. As for Yang Guifei, it's just an excuse. She's just a scapegoat.
First, let the king dote on his life, and the charm is different. Yang Guifei can make Tang Xuanzong love thousands of things, and she still remembers her after her death. It is definitely not only because of her beautiful appearance, but she must have something different than ordinary people. After Yang Guifei entered the palace, she was sent home twice by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. As for the reason, there is no official record. For the first time, "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" simply recorded that the princess was jealous, angry and sent home. There are only six words in Zi Zhi Tong Jian, which was kicked out for the second time, "Yang Guifei replied." However, when Yang Guifei came home, Tang Xuanzong couldn't eat, and Gao Lishi had to recall her again soon. Yang Guifei was expelled twice and recalled to the palace twice, which shows her personal charm and her position in Xuanzong's heart. Her experience is unique among all the concubines in China's harem.
Yang's family was favored by Yang Guifei alone, and "all sisters and brothers were listed in the soil", which led to the people's "happiness when a girl was born rather than a boy" at that time. This was entirely the result of the king's lust for pleasure and putting the cart before the horse. What is wrong with Yang Guifei as a woman in a palace?
Second, a natural musician and dancer, Yang Guifei must be a versatile woman, who has deep attainments in music and dance. Her ability to choreograph Dancing in the Palace is the best proof. Although this dance has not been handed down, so that future generations have no chance to see its elegant demeanour, its influence at that time is definitely unparalleled. This can fully prove that Yang Guifei is a natural musician and dancer, but she is luckier than the average person and has been favored by the king. Fortunately, the king is congenial to her and also loves music and dance. Therefore, although their final outcome was tragedy, their sincere love moved thousands of people.
Third, the courage to die, in exchange for the peace of the king's life. In the Maweipo Incident, Yang Guifei was given the death, "the men of the army stopped, not one of them would stir" and "the Emperor could not save her, he could only cover his face", and Tang Xuanzong wanted to pardon Yang Guifei. However, the imperial soldiers all thought that Gui Fei was a femme fatale, and not dying was not enough to boost morale. In desperation, Xuanzong gave Yang Guifei the death, and finally paid the price for his pleasure for more than 20 years. I think that in those days, the soldiers of the Sixth Army could not and dared not shake a king, they could only look for a relatively weak person to vent their anger, so the poor imperial concubine "till under their horses' hoofs they might trample those moth-eyebrows". I think the imperial concubine must be calm when she received the news that she had to kill herself. In order to save the king who once gave herself everything, but now she is running for her life, she is willing to exchange her life for the peace of the king. This is also the reason why the king has always been obsessed with the imperial concubine in his lifetime.
Therefore, looking at Yang Guifei's life, although she only lived for 38 years, I still think she is lucky. God gave her unparalleled beauty and musical talent. She met someone who loved her most and understood her all her life, and this person was the supreme king. However, their love is too extravagant, especially the king, who forgets his most important responsibility and responsibility, so he is bound to be condemned by heaven, and their ending is bound to be a tragedy.
Yang Yuhuan is a famous woman in ancient China. She is not only the princess of Li Mao, the longevity king, but also the imperial concubine of Li Longji, the Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. She became one of the four beauties in ancient China with amazing beauty.
For such a woman, Yue Shijun thinks that to evaluate her, we must first restore to that historical environment.
Yang Yuhuan was born in an official family in the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty (7 19). After her father died as a teenager, she lived with her uncle.
In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan in Tang Dynasty (734), Princess Xianyi, the daughter of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, got married. Li Mao, the longevity king, saw Yang Yuhuan at the wedding banquet, which was amazing. Soon, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty made her the longevity princess.
In the 25th year of Kaiyuan in Tang Dynasty (737), Li Mao's mother, Wu Huifei, died, and the unhappy Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, under the advice of others, called Yang Yuhuan, the daughter-in-law and princess of longevity, into the harem.
In the fourth year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty (745), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty once again made Wei Zhaoxun's daughter Wei Zhaoxun the Princess of Life, and made Yang Yuhuan the imperial concubine. She was so pampered that Yang's family of chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.
In the 14th year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty (755), An Lushan, our envoy from Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong, rose up against the Tang Dynasty in the name of Yang Guozhong, the distant cousin of Yang Yuhuan, who killed him on the side of Qingjun.
In the 15th year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty (756), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fled to Sichuan with Yang Yuhuan, Yang Guozhong and others. When he passed through Mayi Post, Yang Guozhong was killed by the imperial guards' disorderly knives. In order to protect himself, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had to order Yang Yuhuan to die.
From this, Yue Shijun can give three aspects of Yang Yuhuan:
First, it's very beautiful.
Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote that "clouds want clothes and flowers to make them look beautiful, and the spring breeze blows the threshold to reveal the richness of China", and "famous flowers pour into the country and enjoy each other, making kings look with smiles".
Bai Juyi described "if she but turned her head and smiled, there were cast a hundred spells, and the powder and paint of the Six Palaces faded into nothing".
This shows that the eyes of Tang Xuanzong and his son are really not bad.
Second, special affection.
Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "people, compassionate, are wishing with tears, Jiang Hua and Cao Jiang are the ultimate" to illustrate the feelings of Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan in the Tang Dynasty, and Bai Juyi wrote the love of the two people through the ages with a long poem "Song of Eternal Sorrow".
Third, the special blessing.
Yang Yuhuan is not only beautiful, but also good at music, singing and dancing, and he is favored by Li Mao, the King of Shou, and Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.
She did not participate in the court struggle for power, but got everything she wanted, and was also remembered by Emperor Xuanzong after her death.
This is a strange girl, and Yue Shijun thinks she is very special.

Write interesting history and tell true legends ...
I'm Yue Shijun, 20 18. Let's work together!
Yang Yuhuan's beauty is vast, Yang Yuhuan's love has spread to this day, and Qixi laughs at the cows, that we wished to fly in heaven, two birds with the wings of one and and to grow together on the earth, two branches of one tree..
At the same time, she is also an unfortunate woman, born with beauty, proficient in melody, good at singing and dancing, and good at playing the pipa. So that Tang Xuanzong doted on her. The history books also record that she is a master dancer, and she is also proficient in Hu Xuan dance. Her figure is swaying and jumping like the wind, which is dazzling.
Till a little child of the Yang clan, hardly even grown, bred in an inner chamber, with no one knowing her. At that time, the youngest daughter married Li Mao, the king of longevity. After a few years of honey-like life.
Wu Huifei died in the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737), and Li Mao's mother Wu Huifei was Xuanzong's favorite concubine. Someone suggested that Yang Yuhuan was "graceful in appearance, and should be filled with courtiers", so Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty called Yang into the harem.
In the 28th year of Kaiyuan (740), in the name of Dou Taihou, the mother of Xuanzong, she wrote a letter to Yang to become a female Taoist priest, with the name "too true".
In the fourth year of Tianbao (745), after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty made Wei Zhaoxun's daughter Princess Shou, he made Yang Yuhuan the imperial concubine. Since Emperor Xuanzong abolished the king and queen, Yang Guifei was equivalent to the queen.
Imagine what happened to Yang Yuhuan in those days, that is, Princess Shou lived a good life and wanted to be an imperial concubine instead of doing it. But at that time, the fate of women was in their own hands.
An Shi rebellion, making peace with a weak woman. The men of the army stopped, not one of them would stir, turn around and die. Qing Jun's side, as a generation of kings, can't protect his favorite woman, which is Yang Yuhuan's sorrow. A woman, she can't bear so much.
Yang Yuhuan is a sad woman, who bears a whole body of blame, but what she can do for her own destiny in those days is nothing more than a victim of that particular period.
Till war-drums, booming from Yuyang, shocked the whole earth, and broke the tunes of The Rainbow Skirt and the Feathered Coat's heart moved, and she wept a thousand lines. Su Shi's "Litchi Sigh" is still there, but there is nowhere to find the stunning woman. Only leave this on the seventh day of the Seventh-month, in the Palace of Long Life, we told each other secretly in the quiet midnight world.
That we wished to fly in heaven, two birds with the wings of one, and to grow together on the earth, two branches of one tree..
Earth endures, heaven endures; some time both shall end, while this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever.
Yang Yuhuan was just a representative of social women at that time! However, because she is at the core of the dynasty, many things and things are actually the result of being magnified. As for whether there was any mistake in China, personally, she was just a product of the society at that time, and the decision was not in her own hands, just drifting with the current!
There is no doubt about Yang Yuhuan's beauty, but the fundamental reason is the ruler's own desire. At the top of power, control and possession are the reassurances of all kings. Yang Yuhuan first married Li Mao as his concubine, and then was designed to become Li Longji's favorite concubine. This experience just shows that Yang Yuhuan can't make her own way of life. As for whether she is true love or not, she is just a poor person at the mercy of rights and desires.
In the old era of kingship, it was difficult for women to control their own destiny. As a vulnerable group at that time, no matter whether they had the so-called "natural beauty and gentle temperament" or the "if she but turned her head and smiled, there were cast a hundred spells" beauty, they could not get rid of the result of serving others with color. The replacement of dynasties is not something that will happen overnight, but the result of accumulation over time. It is absurd to blame a woman for the prosperity and change of a dynasty.
Knowing what the emperor loves and being good at what he loves will naturally cater to or flatter the king. And the king himself can't control it, and he has begun to lose control of the court! Perhaps there is true love between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, but the bystander thinks that there is no choice before the emperor, but only obedience or obedience. Yang Yuhuan, who is obviously clever, chose to submit and obey. "As soon as I rode on the world of mortals and laughed, no one knew it was litchi." Two people have their own needs, and they have the same hobbies!
Finally, how ridiculous it is to force Yang Yuhuan to choose an emperor for the so-called Lee Dynasty!
Yang Yuhuan was first of all a famous musician, pipa player and dancer in the Tang Dynasty. Is not a simple woman! Is a woman with a story. "but with graces granted by heaven and not to be concealed, at last one day was chosen for the imperial household." Yang Yuhuan became the imperial concubine and the well-known Lord of the harem because of her beauty (there was no queen in the palace at that time, and Li Longji has never set up a queen since she abolished the king). If you have children, with Li Longji's "3,000 doting on Yang Yuhuan", Yang Yuhuan is very hopeful that "the mother instrument will be the best in the world". Chen Hong recorded in the Biography of Eternal Sorrow: Ju Yige said: "Sisters and brothers are all in the soil, and, because she so illumined and glorified her clan; She brought to every father, every mother through the empire, happiness when a girl was born rather than a boy. " It reveals the "infinite scenery" of the Yang family's "one person gets the word" and the "infinite envy" of the world. As everyone knows, how many people can "understand" Yang Yuhuan's "sad dedication" and inner "suffering" and "embarrassment"? Daughter-in-law "married" the old man, "superior" the "little mother" of "ex-husband", and Yang Yuhuan and her ex-husband are still quite loving.
However, before Yang Yuhuan's mother-in-law Wu Huifei's bones were cold, Yang Yuhuan was taken into her arms by her father-in-law Li Longji. A young loving couple lived for less than three years and were "forced" to separate. Five years later, Yang Yuhuan became "Yang Guifei". It is said that in order to comfort Yang Yuhuan's ex-husband, Li Longji married a daughter-in-law for his "precious son" before formally conferring the title of Yang Yuhuan.
Li Longji's love for Yang Yuhuan is absolutely true. I absolutely believe: "if she but turned her head and smiled, there were cast a hundred spells, and the powder and paint of the Six Palaces faded into nothing. It was early spring. They bathed her in the FlowerPure Pool, which warmed and smoothed the creamy-tinted crystal of her skin. And, because of her languor, a maid was lifting her, when first the Emperor noticed her and chose her for his bride. The cloud of her hair, petal of her cheek, gold ripples of her crown when she moved, were sheltered on spring evenings by warm hibiscus curtains. But nights of spring were short and the sun arose too soon, and the Emperor, from that time forth, forsook his early hearings. And lavished all his time on her with feasts and revelry, his mistress of the spring, his despot of the night. There were other ladies in his court, three thousand of rare beauty, but his favours to three thousand were concentered in one body. " Describe the facts, at least close. But never believe: "and she sent him, by his messenger, a sentence reminding him, of vows which had been known only to their two hearts. On the seventh day of the Seventh-month, in the Palace of Long Life, we told each other secretly in the quiet midnight world. That we wished to fly in heaven, two birds with the wings of one, and to grow together on the earth, two branches of one tree.. Earth endures, heaven endures; some time both shall end, while this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever. " The poem describes the so-called "love" between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan. It is estimated that Yang Yuhuan will be angry if he knows under the spring, and he will stand up and say, "In this case, why doesn't Saburo fight hard to protect me?" Yang Yuhuan certainly doesn't want to live such an embarrassing, shameful and miserable life in his next life.
"Women are a disaster" is a "underwear" carefully made by feudal dynasty scholars for those "shameless" and "incompetent" kings, and it is simply a "fig leaf". Yang Yuhuan, of course, was "wantonly accused" by later generations, and was naturally splashed with "dirty water". Even Yang Yuhuan's eldest sister (named Mrs. Korea), third sister (named Mrs. Guo) and eighth sister (named Mrs. Qin) were all stained with "light" and were also splashed with "dirty water". Who told them that they were really touched by the light of "Yang Yuhuan", and they were rich and distinguished. The historical truth is: Yang Yuhuan's three sisters (especially the third sister, Mrs. Guo Guo) never had an affair with Li Longji, and Yang's four sisters have deep feelings and a very good relationship. You know, Yang Yuhuan is very strict about Li Longji's private life. Li Longji has married several women "aboveboard" and Yang Yuhuan has "adamant4", not to mention his own sister? But the Yang family's wealth is definitely the result of Li Longji's "pleasing" Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yuhuan's fate is extremely tragic, very unfortunate and even more humiliating. She was a victim of the imperial power of the feudal dynasty-"Princess Shou became an imperial concubine", and even more a political victim of the Tang Dynasty-"the men of the army stopped, not one of them would stir, till under their horses' hoofs they might trample those moth-eyebrows."
Tracing back to the source: It was not Yang Yuhuan who brought down the Tang Empire, but the "An Shi Rebellion"! And the root of "An Shi Rebellion" is you, Li Longji!
What even a eunuch knows, why don't you Li Longji understand? Lao Li, Lao Li, what can I say about you? Alas! Let's not talk about it!
The historical truth is: after entering the palace, Yang Yuhuan followed the feudal court system, did not ask about court politics, did not intervene in the power struggle, and was favored by Li Longji in every way for his charming and docile music talent. Sure! Yang Yuhuan is a woman first! She is also a woman with personality. Although Li Longji was angered by jealousy, he was sent out of the palace twice, but in the end, Li Longji was still hard to give up.
As the saying goes, "Every man is innocent, but he is guilty." I think this sentence is also quite appropriate to evaluate Yang Yuhuan.
First of all, Yang Yuhuan was just a little more beautiful and had a little talent in music, but what's wrong with that? Originally, she lived a good life as Princess Shouwang, so she was attracted by her father-in-law Tang Minghuang Li Longji, and she wanted to get her regardless of the world's leisurely mouth. Don't say why people didn't refuse, but the other party was a generation of emperors who ruled the world. Her husband Shouwang Li Mao didn't dare to scream. How could she resist a weak woman? Her life was also a life, and behind her was a large family.
Then, when they entered the palace, they just wanted to live their own lives, sing and compose music, and then make a small oath with Saburo. All her honors were given to her voluntarily by Tang Xuanzong, but because of this, she was to blame for Tang Xuanzong's neglect of state affairs, and her family, Yang Guozhong, was to blame for her power in ruling and opposition, but in fact, the root of all this was Li Longji himself.
In the end, the "An Shi Rebellion" broke out, and An Lushan rebelled against the court. She was the first to bear the brunt. She was regarded as a femme fatale and was forced to hang herself. But in fact, what did she do? It was just that all people did not dare to blame the person directly responsible and pulled her out as a punching bag.
In fact, I feel more and more sympathy for the so-called "femme fatale" such as Yang Yuhuan, da ji and Congsi.
They are just the most vulnerable women in feudal society, but they have to bear the pot of national subjugation because they are attracted by a single husband. No one can stand up as early as possible, only after the country dies, the "ordinary people" push the "responsibility" to women.
Their existence can also be regarded as one of the interpretations of "cannibalism"!
A woman! A beautiful woman! A miserable woman!
