What is the history of Li Longji and Yang Guifei?
Yang Guifei first married Li Mao, the son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Later, after Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong met, Tang Xuanzong was fascinated by Yang Guifei's beauty and desperately wanted to make Yang Guifei a concubine.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty loved Yang Guifei very much, and there was a poem called: "When riding a princess in the world of mortals, she smiled, and no one knew it was litchi." It seems that Tang Xuanzong loved beauty to such an extent that he also built a Huaqing pool for Yang Guifei to bathe in. Later, for the crisis of imperial power, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty asked Bai Juan to let Yang Guifei commit suicide in Maweipo, and a touch of beauty disappeared into the world.

Anecdotal allusions

The origin of the name

Yang Yuhuan's name is not recorded in Old Tang Book and New Tang Book, nor is it clearly recorded in Zi Tong Zhi Jian. The legend of Song of Eternal Sorrow only says that she is "Yang Xuanyan's daughter". In the ninth year of the Tang Dynasty (855), that is, about 100 years after the death of Yang Guifei, Zheng Chuhui's Miscellanies of Ming Taizu first mentioned: "Yang Guifei's small character Yuhuan". Later generations still use it today.

Yang Guifei's three names "Yunu", "Yu Niang" and "Yuhuan" are all true, and the expressions of slave, mother and ring all set off Yang Guifei's names in different periods. Yunu was her childhood nickname; Yu Niang was her honorific title before her canonization; Yuhuan is her nickname after she was made a noble princess and gained weight. Yang Guifei's real name is Yu Yang.
