Where did Yang Guifei die? Thank you for your questions.

This is a well-known thing. Yang Guifei died in the "Ma mutiny". Whether it is the official records of the old and new Tang Shu, or the folk note novels and collections, or even the poems of the later Tang and Song Dynasties, they all hold this view. However, since the Republic of China, academic circles have made a breakthrough in the study of Yang Guifei, which is embodied in the following aspects: the traditional view of "Ma Yi Yi Yi mutiny" is different, the cause of Yang Guifei's death is doubtful, and some even put forward the theory that Yang Guifei entered the temple for Nepal or fled to sea for a long time. How did Yang Guifei, the main victim of the Mayiyi mutiny, die? The official record is hanged. For example, in "Biography of Yang Guifei in the Old Tang Dynasty", after Yang and his son were punished, "the fourth army did not disperse, and Xuanzong sent Lux to ask, saying that the thief was still there, referring to the imperial concubine. When Lux played again, the emperor had to make a decision with the princess and hang himself in the Buddhist room. " "Zi Tongzhi Jijiantang": "I was ordered to lead the imperial concubine to the Buddhist temple to hang." "Supplement to National History": "Xuanzong was lucky in Shu, went to Mayi Post, and ordered Gao Lishi to stay under the pear tree in front of the Buddhist temple." Chen Hong's Song of Eternal Sorrow: "I couldn't bear to see her die, but I hid my face and led her away. You turned around and died. " Biography of Yang Taizhen: "Go to the palace, help my concubine out of the hall, and stay at the north wall of Ma Dao, so that Lux will die." The princess sobbed, unable to express her feelings, but said, "I wish you all the best." I owe my country a debt of gratitude, and I died without complaint, so I beg for mercy. "The emperor said,' May the concubine have a good life.' Lux then squatted under the pear tree in front of the Buddhist temple. "Contained roughly similar, it is said that Yang Guifei died in Mayi Buddhist Temple. However, according to the poems about "Mayi mutiny" written by Tang poets Li Yi, Du Fu, Jia Dao and Wen, it is believed that Yang Guifei was killed by mutinous soldiers, not hanged. For example, Yi Lee's "Crossing Horse Inn" asks you not to wash lotus blood and leave a thousand years of concubine tears, and "Too true blood stained horseshoe" and "Where are those perfect eyes and that pearl-like tooth?" A blood-stained soul has no home and nowhere to go. "In Du Fu's Mourning for the Head, Du Fu's poem clearly states that Yang Guifei was not hanged. When he wrote this poem, it was only six or seven months before the Mayi mutiny. Jia Dao's Ma Wei also said: "Since the emperor was disappointed, the horseshoe has been fishy." Du Mu's "Thirty Rhymes of Huaqing Palace" says: "The horse's blood screams and the feathers are scattered; Unable to leave the country, there is fragrance in the soul. " Zhang's "Huaqing Palace and Du Sheren" says: "Blood burial concubine." Wen Tingyun's "Ma Wei Yi" says: "In the afterlife, we will not test the smoke, but we will be buried in the air." Zheng Wo's Jin Yang Men Shi Hua says, "Ma Youyi is unstoppable. Who will the Prime Minister shoot? Long eyebrows and temples are condensed, and kings sneak into the pancreas. " Yu Ang said in "Ponytail Post": "If you taste ponytail post, you will see the guests in front of the slope. A woman who kills herself and gives birth to a daughter is worried about the country and the people. " In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Lai's "Selling Zhongxing Monument" said: "The blood of Yuhuan demon is not swept, and Yuyang horse hates Chang 'an grass." It is said that Yang Guifei's blood spilled on Ma Yi's post. If she is hanged, she can't bleed. "The emperor couldn't save her, so he had to cover his face, turn his head and shed blood and tears." Bai Juyi described Yang Guifei's death as if he had been killed by a disorderly army. Especially from the rebels killed Yang and his son, Mrs. Han, Mrs. Qin, Wei, Wei and others. At that time, the mutinous soldiers all the way into the room where Xuanzong lived, and Yang Guifei was inevitably killed. In the official history, Yang Guifei was arrested, probably because she was "taboo". However, some people think that Yang Guifei was not strangled or killed, but died by swallowing gold. Liu Yuxi's "Ma Wei Xing" says: "The green field caresses the air duct, the yellow dust Ma Wei Yi, the roadside Yang Guiren, and the grave is three or four feet high. When the children in the room said that Shu was lucky and the military was lucky, the son of heaven gave up the enchantress. The ministers squatted on the door screen, and you followed the emperor's clothes, with low eyes and beautiful eyes, and the weather was sunny. After drinking gold chips, I was so angry that I ate apricot pills all my life. The color is really the same. " Said that Yang Guifei swallowed gold and died. Mr. Chen's Notes on Bai Yuan's Poems said: "According to what Yin Qia saw and recorded, everyone said that the imperial concubine hanged Ma Wei, and only dreamed that she swallowed gold and committed suicide. I suspect that Liu Shi said that "the nobles drink gold scraps" came from the mouth of Li, so this is another story. " There is another cloud: "In our country, there were many ways to die, and swallowing gold was just one of them. Before Yang Guifei died, or she swallowed gold, saying it was done by' Li', which is unknown. "What is even more surprising is that some scholars at home and abroad infer from some clues that Yang Guifei herself did not die in Mayi, but escaped. As early as the 1920s, Yu Pingbo, a famous redologist, wrote in the article "Song of Eternal Sorrow" and "Legend of Eternal Sorrow" that according to Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Sorrow", when Xuanzong passed by Ant Gang from Sichuan, he could not find the bones of Yang Guifei, indicating that another person died in the mutiny in Ant Gang, not the imperial concubine herself. The real Yang Guifei may be Jin Chan, who lived in the female Taoist temple (brothel) at that time. Yu's statement is based on Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow, which is a literary work with many romantic exaggerations and is difficult to rely on. Some Japanese scholars also believe that Yang Guifei didn't die in Mayi mutiny, in order to calm the rebels' anger. Yang Guifei was escorted overseas and fled to Jiugu, Japan. Tang Xuanzong also knew that the imperial concubine was not dead. After returning to North Korea, he sent an alchemist to find her "above, he searched the green void, below, yellow spring". More than ten centuries have passed since the Ma Yili mutiny. Was this incident that led to the downfall of Xuanzong premeditated by some elites or very accidental? Was Yang Guifei hanged or killed by mutinous soldiers? Did Yang Guifei escape or not? Except for a few people such as Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Chen and Gao Lishi, outsiders have no way of knowing the truth of this court event, and the historical books and legends handed down by later generations based on this are also hearsay. It is arbitrary and irrelevant to speculate with facts, especially what poets do. To explore the truth of this incident, we must start with the contradictions within the imperial court at that time and analyze the situation at that time. Before we really solve this mystery, we can neither easily demonstrate on the basis of some "historical materials" nor deny all kinds of inferences casually, because anything is possible. Some scholars laugh at the whimsical inference of Yu Pingbo or Japanese scholars that the imperial concubine did not die in Mayi, but it is not. Imagine that Yang Guifei's 20-year love is based on deep feelings, especially the affectionate seed of Tang Xuanzong. He will never sit back and watch his sweetheart die in front of him, and will try his best to save it. You can choose a maid who looks like a lady instead of death. This is the simplest thing. The mutinous soldiers don't know Yang Guifei, especially when they are "lucky in Shu". Therefore, it is not impossible for the imperial concubine to escape.
