Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was familiar with music and had extensive knowledge of music and dance. Many aristocratic children had been trained by him in Chang'an Liyuan. "Old Tang Book" records that Xuanzong once formed a "palace band", selected 300 disciples and hundreds of palace maids, and invited them to guide them. For such a talented "artistic" emperor, Yang Yuhuan, who was proficient in music, naturally seemed particularly charming. It is said that one time, Xuanzong proposed to hold a concert using musical instruments from the mainland together with five musical instruments from the Western Regions, and the imperial concubine actively responded. At that time, the imperial concubine held the pipa in her arms, and Xuanzong held the Jie drum, singing and dancing day and night. This is evidenced by Bai Juyi's poem: "Slow singing and graceful dancing of silk and bamboo, the emperor will never see enough." Yang Yuhuan is also a master of chime playing. When she plays, "the sound of the chime is calm and calm, with many new sounds. Although the disciples of Liyuan , no one can match it.” In order to please the beauty, Emperor Xuanzong specially made the chime made of Lantian green jade and decorated it with gold and pearls, which was extremely precious. Concubine Wu Hui, whom Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty loved, died of illness, making Xuanzong depressed. Under the recommendation of his confidant eunuch Gao Lishi, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty turned his attention to Yang Yuhuan, the daughter-in-law who resembled Concubine Wu Hui. In October of the 28th year of Kaiyuan, Yang Yuhuan, who had been married to Li Hao for five years, left the Shou Palace and came to Lishan. At this time, she was only 22 years old and Xuanzong was 56 years old. Xuanzong ordered her to become a female Taoist priest as his mother. Empress Dowager Dou commended him and gave him the title "Taizhen". In the fourth year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appointed Wei Zhaoxun's daughter as Princess Shou, and then appointed Yang Yuhuan as his concubine. Xuanzong had not established a queen since he abolished the queen, so Concubine Yang was equivalent to the queen. Concubine Yang had three sisters, all of whom were of national beauty. They were also called into the palace and were given the titles of Lady of Korea, Lady of Qin and Lady of Guo. Each of them was given 100,000 yuan of makeup and powder every month. Yang Huahua, the wife of Guo State, ranked third. She was beautiful with her natural beauty, without fake makeup. Du Fu's poem "The Lady of the State of Guo" says: "The Lady of the State of Guo accepted the Lord's grace and mounted her horse to enter the Golden Gate at dawn. However, she disliked the makeup and the pink color, so she lightly swept her eyebrows towards the Supreme Being." (Volume 2 of "Detailed Notes on Du Poems") is a portrayal of the fact. Since Yang Yuhuan entered the palace, he followed the feudal court system, did not interfere in court politics, and did not interfere in power struggles. He was favored by Xuanzong with his charm, meekness and extraordinary musical talent. Although he once angered Xuanzong due to jealousy, he even She was sent out of the palace twice. In addition, Yang Yuhuan had an affair with An Lushan in the palace, but in the end Xuanzong still couldn't let her go. Until the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fled westward with only Concubine Yang. During the remonstrance of Maweipo soldiers, Concubine Yang was forced to die at the age of 38. Today, there is the tomb of Yang Guifei in Xingping City, Shaanxi Province, covering an area of ??3,000 square meters. On the side of the tomb are steles of poems by Li Shangyin, Bai Juyi, Lin Zexu and other dynasties. There is Huaqing Pool at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain in Lintong. It is said that Concubine Yang bathed in Huaqing Pool in the cold spring, and the hot spring water washed away her fat. Among them, "Guifei Pool" is more famous. It is said that it was a bathing pool dedicated to Concubine Yang, so it is also called "Huaqing Pool". There is a "cooling hair pavilion" on the side of the pool, which is said to be the place where the imperial concubines cooled their hair after bathing and combed their hair. Because of their close relationship with the famous ancient beauty Yang Guifei, these scenic spots and historic sites have attracted many Chinese and foreign tourists and have become famous tourist attractions. Concubine Yang and Queen Concubine Yang has a question that has always troubled scholars of later generations, that is, since Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was so obsessed with Yang Yuhuan at that time, why did Yang Yuhuan remain a concubine instead of becoming a queen? Regarding this issue, there is no clear record in the history books. We can only discover and dig clues from relevant records and make relevant arguments and speculations. Judging from the clues in historical records, the reason why Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty did not canonize Yang Yuhuan as queen was probably related to the despicable means he used to obtain Yang Yuhuan. According to historical records such as "Old Book of Tang", "New Book of Tang", and "Zizhi Tongjian", Yang Yuhuan was originally the concubine of Tang Xuanzong's son, King Shou Li Hao. Tang Xuanzong stole it from his son through unfair means. Came here. In July of the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Li Mao and Yang Yuhuan fell in love at first sight. At the repeated request of Concubine Wu Hui (Li Mao's mother), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to appoint Yang Yuhuan as Princess Shou. After their marriage, the two became extremely sweet. Tang Xuanzong did not see Yang Yuhuan. Five years later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty saw Yang Yuhuan, and was deeply fascinated by Yang Yuhuan's beauty at first sight. At this time, she had been married to the longevity king Li Mao for almost five years."This is the origin of Concubine Yang's temple. It was once destroyed, leaving only one ruins. Later, it was restored many times, and more and more tourists visited. Whether Concubine Yang is a native of Rongxian County has always been debated by historians. An endless topic. "The Stele of Concubine Yang in Puning County, Rongzhou" records the legendary life of Yang Yuhuan, who grew up with Concubine Yang during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty (about 734-755 AD). Four-door University was a component of Taixue, the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty. The four-door teaching assistant was equivalent to a professor at Peking University today). Written by Xu Zizhen, it once stood 120 steps east of Rongcheng and was included in the "Yongle" compiled by the royal family. Dadian", "Quan Tang Wen" and other historical books record that "Concubine Yang was born in Yangchong, Rongzhou, ten miles away from the city, and her nickname was Yuniang. -------In the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan, Emperor Ming came to the palace with the imperial edict. He was named Taizhen and was greatly favored. Tianbaojian was registered as a noble concubine. "This is the closest official article that historians can find written by someone close to Yang Yuhuan's time. Because Rongzhou in the Tang Dynasty was a large state in Lingnan, and governed the fourteenth country including today's former Vietnam, Hainan, and part of Guangdong. There are more than 60 counties in each state, and today's Rong County was called "Puning County" at that time, so this monument is called "The Monument of Yang Fei in Puning County, Rongzhou." "Although there are many versions of Concubine Yang's birthplace across the country, the most convincing one is currently the inscription of Concubine Yang in the "Quan Tangwen". In addition, one of Yang Guifei's food habits-eating lychees can also be explained. This point - when a person travels thousands of miles away from his hometown and still wants to deliver lychees on an "800-mile rush", this is naturally a hobby developed in childhood. However, given the climate and environment at that time, it was obviously impossible to grow in Sichuan and Xi'an. There are lychees. Yang Guifei and Mimosa have a small and exquisite flower. Its compound leaves are like hibiscus branches, and the dots are symmetrical, like bird feathers. The plant is decorated with several small red flowers, which look like bayberry with one finger. , its pinnate leaflets quickly closed, and the petioles slowly drooped, just like a girl who was new to the world. Because of her purity and simplicity, she was so shy and shy, so people called it "Mimosa". Legend has it that Yang Yuhuanchu. When she entered the palace, she was depressed all day long because she could not see the king. Once, she and the palace ladies went to the palace garden to enjoy flowers, and accidentally touched a mimosa, and the leaves of the grass immediately rolled up. It was Yang Yuhuan's beauty that made the flowers and plants feel ashamed and couldn't even lift their heads. When Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty heard that there was a "flower-shy beauty" in the palace, he immediately summoned her and named her a noble concubine. From then on, the "shy flower" became Yang. The elegant name of Mimosa is due to the plant's electricity. At the base of the leaves of Mimosa, there is a parenchyma cell tissue called "leaf mattress", which is usually filled with enough water. When stimulated, the water in the parenchyma cells immediately flows to the upper part and sides under the instructions of the plant electricity. As the weight of the leaves increases, the leaves close and the petioles droop. The Mimosa plant is slender and delicate. Weak, in order to survive, it has developed this special ability to adapt to the environment in the long-term natural selection.
