The historical background of the prosperous Tang Dynasty
First of all, the historical background of this drama is around the Anshi Rebellion in Xuanzong period of Tang Dynasty. The so-called Anshi Rebellion is the war waged by An Lushan and Shi Siming, the generals of the Tang Dynasty, from the last years of Xuanzong to the early years of Daizong (February 755 16 to February 763 17).

Shi Siming

Because the commanders who launched the anti-Tang Dynasty were mainly An Lushan and Shi Siming, the story was named An Shi.

There is also a villain in the play, Yang. After being favored, his official career climbed all the way until he was promoted to the prime minister and occupied more than 40 positions. During his tenure as prime minister, he wrongly monopolized the country, crowded out loyal sages, used adulterers and ruined the government platform. The contradiction with Anshi Rebellion eventually led to Anshi Rebellion. The historical background and villain of this play are probably clear.

Then there is Shen Zhenzhu, the heroine played by Jing Tian. The historical prototype is the Empress Ruizhen, named Shen, whose date of birth and death is unknown. Xing Wu Lian Shi, the concubine of Tang Daizong, the king of Guangping County, and Tang Dezong's biological mother, disappeared in the Anshi Rebellion and was later honored as the Empress Dowager.

Wang Guangping

Li Chu, the hero of Guangping, generally refers to Tang Daizong Li Yu, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Daizong Li Yu, formerly known as Li Chu, was the eldest son of Tang Suzong and the eighth emperor of the Tang Dynasty. His reign was from 762 to 779. First named Chu, formerly known as Chu, later renamed Chu. In 756 AD (Tianbao 15th year), An Lushan rebels captured Tongguan, Xuanzong fled to Mayi, and local people took Su Zong in, so they escorted him to Beidi Lingwu. An Shi Rebellion, in the name of Marshal, recovered Luoyang and Chang 'an. In 758 A.D. (the first year of Gan Yuan), he became king in March, and was appointed Crown Prince in April. In 762 AD (the first year of Baoying), eunuch Li killed queen Zhang, and Su Zong was shocked to death. Before Su Zong's coffin, he acceded to the throne according to his will and changed his name to Yu. In 763 AD, the Anshi Rebellion was put down. He died in 779 A.D., the temple was named Daizong, and Xiaowu, Wen Rui, posthumous title, was buried in Yuanling.
