How did Yang Yuhuan die? According to historical records, the cause of death was related to An Shi Rebellion.

Presumably, many people have heard of such a great event in the history of China. The Tang Dynasty, which was in its heyday in history, attracted many historical researchers at home and abroad. However, Yang Yuhuan written by Bai Juyi and Xuanzong is more famous. Such a lovely woman suddenly lost Xiangyu, which puzzled countless people. Want to find out, how Yang Yuhuan died has become a big mystery.

First of all, how did Yang Yuhuan die? How did Yang Yuhuan die? Yang Yuhuan was born into a noble family. Yang Yuhuan is very beautiful and can sing and dance well. At first, she was the princess of the son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and later she was named the imperial concubine by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu and Bai Juyi also described her as extremely beautiful and envied by countless harem beauties. Li Bai, a poet, once wrote a poem for her, which made her famous all over the world.

Second, historical records show that in 755 AD after Yang Yuhuan's death, An Lushan rebelled and went all the way to Chang 'an. In the second year, Yang Guifei fled to Sichuan with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. When she arrived at Ant Post, the imperial army headed by Chen decided to kill Yang to solve the future trouble, and the soldiers joined forces to kill Yang.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty thought that the imperial concubine was not wrong and didn't want to hurt Yang Yuhuan, but the soldiers who followed him thought that the imperial concubine brought disaster to the country and the people, and the Anshi Rebellion was caused by the imperial concubine. Therefore, for his own safety, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty gave Yang Yi a white silk to hang under Mawei Slope. Therefore, Yang Guifei, a very famous and authoritative person as a queen, lost her life and her kindness in the past.

It can be seen from these historical records that Yang Guifei did die in Maweipo. After the Anshi Rebellion, so many beautiful women left only a cenotaph, and the tombstone read "Imperial concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty" for people to remember. But Yang Guifei, who is so beautiful and even known as one of the four beauties in ancient times, was unfortunate because of an accident, leaving future generations with infinite reverie.

Third, the different legends of Yang Yuhuan's death It is said that Yang Yuhuan died in a Buddhist temple. The Book of Old Tang Dynasty records that after the imperial army killed Yang and his son, it put forward the theory of femme fatale and demanded that Yang Guifei be killed again to eliminate future troubles. Yang Yuhuan then hanged himself in the Buddhist temple. The History of Music also records that after the separation of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei, Yang Yuhuan prayed at the Buddhist temple. Gao Lishi killed him at the Buddhist temple.

Yang Yuhuan may have died in the army. There are many expressions in Tang poetry. Du Fu described in "Ai Jiang Tou" that Yang Yuhuan didn't hang himself in Mayi Post. Li Yi's poems also echoed the scene of Yang Guifei's death in the turmoil. In the poems of Du Mu and He Wen, it is also considered that he did not commit suicide by hanging himself.

There are other stories about Yang Guifei's death. Some people once said that she died by swallowing gold scraps. This sentence was expressed by Liu Yuxi by borrowing Li's poem. Yang Guifei was abandoned by the emperor and had to swallow gold scraps. In the poem, gold scraps are like almonds. In an instant, the legendary woman died of her fragrance, which led to the conclusion that Yang Guifei committed suicide by swallowing gold.

Therefore, Yang Yuhuan's death was caused by the Anshi Rebellion, but there are still many unofficial history records that Yang Yuhuan survived after the Anshi Rebellion. Because many legends describe Yang Yuhuan's beautiful posture, her court life in the Sixth Palace and her love story with Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty have attracted people from ancient times to the present, Yang Yuhuan's death has become the focus of attention.
