Bai Juyi also described it in Song of Eternal Sorrow:
However, due to the gift of heaven and no concealment, it was finally elected royal one day. If she just turned her head and smiled, there were a hundred spells, and the powder and paint of six palaces disappeared without a trace.
It was early spring. They let her bathe in a pure pool to warm and smooth her creamy skin. Because she was tired, a maid lifted her up, when the emperor noticed her for the first time and chose her as his bride.
On the night of spring, the warm hibiscus curtains covered her fluttering hair, petals on her cheeks and golden ripples on her head. But the night in spring is short and the sun rises too fast. Since then, the emperor has given up his early hearing. This passage reveals that Yang Guifei was favored by her beauty, and Xuanzong loved her gentle hometown deeply and never went to the early dynasty again. However, Yang Yuhuan was favored by Xuanzong for more than ten years, not only because of his beauty and plump figure, but also because his beauty could not last long. Yang Guifei has three sisters, all national colors, who were called into the palace. They were named Mrs. Han, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Guo respectively, and each person received a monthly reward of100000 yuan. Yang Jia, Mrs. Guo, ranked third. Her beauty lies in natural beauty, not false. According to unofficial history's records, when Mrs Guo entered the palace, she was favored by Xuanzong. It can be seen that beauty is not the main reason for Xuanzong's exclusive pet of Yang Guifei. Yang Guifei is familiar with melody and can sing and dance well. Xuanzong likes melody and is very good at music and dance. He trained many noble children in the pear garden. "Slow singing and dancing, condensed silk and bamboo, the emperor's eyes can't stare at her enough." Xuanzong composed colorful feathers and Yang Guifei arranged the dance of clothes and clothes, which made her feel that Yang Guifei was a treasure. Psychologists have found that music can promote right brain activity. The right brain, also known as the perceptual brain, is mainly used to process specific information such as sounds and images, and has the functions of imagination and high-speed memory. Simply put, in the music environment, people's perceptual thinking is stronger, and it is easier to get interested in people around them and remember them deeply. That is to say, why people are more likely to sink in the environment of singing every night. For example, Shang Zhouwang, the queen of Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu. And Yang Guifei is the person who applies the music effect to the extreme.
Yang Guifei can write poetry, and the whole Tang poem has a cloud from Dance for Zhang:
Pocket incense, red owl in autumn smoke.
The wind is shaking on the light cloud ridge, and the water is blowing by the tender willow pool.
"If she just turns her head and smiles, there are hundreds of spells." Laughing is also a killer for Xuanzong, just as the imperial concubine loves to laugh. There is a phenomenon in psychology called emotional response. There was an outstanding philosopher in ancient Greece named Demok Park Jung Su. He always smiles and greets people without putting on airs. He is called "smiling philosopher". At present, waiters in shopping malls and hotels have launched "smile service" in order to get a good emotional response. Similarly, Yang Guifei always smiles when facing Xuanzong. Even if the gongs and drums are loud, as long as Yang Guifei smiles, Xuanzong's gloomy mood can be alleviated. Yang Guifei is a person who knows the psychology of Xuanzong like the back of his hand, so even though she had an affair with An Lushan, Xuanzong didn't punish her.
