Did Yang Guifei die in Maweipo or in Japan?

Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties in the history of China, is the beloved princess of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and she fled the capital with Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. In Maweipo, Shaanxi, the army mutinied and seized power. Yang Guifei died here, and her tragedy is sighing. Because Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow records the history of Ma Tuopo's mutiny, the tragic love between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei has spread for more than 1000 years. Few people doubt whether Yang Guifei really died in Maweipo, but as an emperor, would Tang Xuanzong really watch his beloved princess die in the mutiny and be indifferent? Why is there an amazing evidence in Japan? This ancient written record shows that Yang Guifei did not die, but crossed the ocean and fled to Japan. Is this true or not? Is the tragedy thousands of years ago just a clever escape plan? In the dangerous mutiny scene, how did Yang Guifei escape safely in the face of the sword halberd? Is she really not dead? Did she escape to Japan? The famous writer Ye Guangqin's visit to Japan has uncovered the mystery of Yang Guifei's whereabouts for us. Today we are going to talk about a very romantic topic, which is the mystery of Yang Guifei's whereabouts. Why did I bring up the topic of Yang Guifei's mystery? Because I come from Shaanxi and xi, which is Chang 'an in the past. Yang Guifei left many traces in Chang 'an: Maweipo, Huaqingchi and Xianyou Temple, which was the royal temple in the Tang Dynasty, where Bai Juyi wrote the Song of Eternal Sorrow. Let's put aside the poem "Song of Eternal Sorrow" and talk about Tianbao's story and the process of Yang Guifei's hanging. Everyone knows this process. It was June 15th, the 15th year of Tianbao. That night, Yang Guifei was hanged. According to Old Tang Book, after Yang Guifei died, she was wrapped in a purple mattress and buried on the west side of Yixi Road at the age of 38. That is to say, without a coffin, she wrapped people in mattresses and buried them on the west side of the road. After Yang Guifei was buried, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fled to the west, passed through today's Baoji, entered the Big Three Pass, and reached the Qinling Mountains. After Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty left, there was a saying in the local area, that is, digging graves to see beautiful women. There is also a saying that "the soil here is still smelly after a long time", that is to say, when burying Yang Guifei's grave, the soil is as delicate as the powder on her face. In the past, some women near Maweipo, Shaanxi, put powder on their faces and went to Yang Guifei's grave to cut it. It is said that the soil is still fragrant, which is a legend. Then the next year, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty returned to his funeral. At that time, he was already the emperor's father, and his son became emperor. He once ordered the body of the imperial concubine to be reburied, so he quietly opened the grave and reburied it. But after the grave was opened, the old Tang book recorded that the skin was not good, but the sachet on the chest still existed. This skin is gone and rotten, only one sachet is still there, which raises a question for future generations, saying that sachets rot quickly? Or does the skin rot quickly? The skin is gone, why is this sachet still there? Is there a body here? Put forward such a question. When I was a child, I thought Yang Guifei was a mysterious figure. I work in a hospital. Someone in the hospital was working the night shift, so I changed the night shift. During the day, I took a big truck pulling medicine, from Xi 'an to Maweipo, to visit Yang Guifei's grave. It was raining lightly. I sat on the top of the truck and was soaked to the skin. When we arrived at Maweipo, the driver stopped and said. This is the tomb of Yang Guifei. I have a look, alas! The wind is biting, the rain is pouring, and it is a mound with a brick base and old corn fields around it. The corn has been harvested, and the yellow leaves and old stone tablets have fallen to the ground. Without the courtyard wall, the rain not only soaked me, but also all the surrounding land. Rain hits the leaves of old corn, and I think this is Yang Guifei's grave! This scene really suits my mood. I think this sadness is a true portrayal of Yang Guifei's tomb. However, what is Yang Guifei's tomb like today, when the artistic conception is ruined and desolate? Today's tomb of Yang Guifei is a beautiful hall, carved with stone statues of the imperial concubine. With the sales of tourism products outside, cars come and go. I said that this has lost the flavor that Yang Guifei should have, so I have never been to Maweipo again, and I can't find the feeling of the past. Of course, this is a cultural person's feelings about history. But the year before last, I was in Japan, and one day I took a bus to join a tour group and took to the road. Because I was sitting in the front, I suddenly found a big traffic sign on the roadside in front. what can I say? Yang Guifei's hometown is in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. I was very surprised. I said there is also Yang Guifei's hometown here. At that time, I thought, how did Yang Guifei come here? Such a remote place, but on the roadside, Yang Guifei's shop, Yang Guifei's pub, Yang Guifei's hotel, everything. I said that Yang Guifei is very lively and is tossing around here. After returning home, I dug up a lot of information about Yang Guifei's hometown from here. I see this place is called Yamaguchi Prefecture, and there is Gumachi Village on the Xiangju Peninsula. At that time, I contacted Yougumaqi village through my friends. I said I wanted to see what happened to this Yang Guifei here. So one day I went, and several old people sat at the table drinking. The old people are already a little drunk, and their faces are red. I told them, I said I was from Xi 'an, and they said Xi 'an was Chang 'an? I said Chang 'an, and he said, Oh! Then you are Yang Guifei's family. I said yes, he said, can you tell us something about Chang 'an? I said yes, so I spoke Shaanxi dialect. Although my Shaanxi dialect is not authentic, I often speak Shaanxi dialect when there are no Shaanxi people. At that time, the old people were very excited and said, Oh! This is the language that Yang Guifei used to speak. Someone didn't hear me, so call me back and let me say it again. After speaking Shaanxi dialect several times, they felt that although they didn't understand the language, it was said by Yang Guifei, and they felt very cordial. Later, I said that these people have such feelings for Yang Guifei, as if Yang Guifei belonged to them. At the same time, some people say that Yang Guifei has descendants here, whose surname is Yagi. Later, I thought about the connection between Yagi and Yang, but I really couldn't figure out the internal connection. They said that Yang Guifei's tomb was in the Second Hospital. I said I'd go and have a look, and then I went to the Second Hospital. The building of the Second Hospital is very similar to our China. The toilets in the Second Hospital are all men's toilets and women's toilets. So I said, ouch! Just like when I first arrived in China, the pavilions were all Chinese pavilions with stone statues in them. This statue was carved by craftsmen from Xi 'an. They came to Yougu Town. She looks exactly like Ma Jipo, but a little thinner than Ma Jipo, because I can't accept that Yang Guifei is a fat beauty. They think it's thin or beautiful, because the Japanese may not be too fat, so Yang Guifei of the second statue looks thin and really beautiful! There is a five-story stone tower behind the tomb, which is very high. There is a stone tower about one or two meters high. They say this is Yang Guifei's tomb. There are many small stone pagodas under the tower, one around the big stone pagoda. Why do I say these little towers? He said that these towers were the graves of maids who came with Yang Guifei, and they were buried in this place. As for the tower, facing the sea, it is said that because the imperial concubine misses her hometown, she can overlook Chang 'an. I found the elders of the Second Zun Yuan at that time. I said Yang Guifei was buried here. Is there any evidence? At that time, he took out two books, one was blue cloth, and the other was straight ink on oily linen paper, which was left by the records of the 55th elder of the second statue. What does it say? He said: "In July of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, Yang Yuhuan, the beloved princess of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, went ashore with the Tang Ferry in Jin Jiu by empty boat and died soon after landing. She was sent by her family and buried behind the temple. " I said I was buried here, so what's the process? He said that if you look down, I will look down. The history below is completely different from ours. "Since the launch of the Sixth Army, the spirit of the imperial concubine has softened, and people want to save it, build an empty boat, buy food on board for several months, and exile it in the sea and let it drift." What is an empty ship? Later, I looked it up in the dictionary, that is, is it ok to go from China to Japan without boating? How did this happen? Moreover, we look at the history of the Tang Dynasty. How many times did Jian Zhen and monks cross to Japan? Finally, I went blind and crossed over. It's not that easy. It's a bit like a myth that I can cross the river without paddles. But the elder said that this is not a myth, and the place of Yougu Town is a very special place. He suggested that I go to Tangdukou to have a look, so I bid farewell to the second courtyard, along the beach, which is very high. There is a beach and a small stone building below, winding down to the seaside. Just say that Yang Guifei landed here. What did I see at Tangdukou? Japan is so clean, but the beach is full of rubbish. Take a closer look at this rubbish, which surprises me. These are rubbish from China, including empty bottles of our Head & Shoulders shampoo, bottles of farmers' mineral water and cloth shoes worn by women in China. There are also things floating from Korea. They said it was a trend, a trend from China. These things came by themselves, without passports and tickets, and they have been floating here for many years. There are three or four Japanese old ladies picking up garbage there and picking up garbage on the beach. They told me that sometimes you can really pick good things here, so he said that Yang Guifei floated here with the help of this ocean current. This small fishing village is a rotating current, so it landed here. What else can prove this? There is a museum near the Jin Jiu Peninsula, which is called Duojingbang Museum. I also went to the museum. This museum is a very modern museum, built on the beach. From 1953 to 1988, the bones of 300 people were excavated at the seaside in about 30 years. Textual research shows that these 300 bones belonged to ordinary people in China two thousand years ago, but why did they belong to China? Because when these bodies were buried, their postures were very awkward, their necks were twisted, and all their heads were facing the sea and China. People say that this is the earliest immigrant in China, about 2,000 years ago during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, I'm afraid China's shipbuilding technology was not very developed, and it was impossible for people to sail from China to Japan. This is Japan's famous drifting theory. Why is Japan called Yamato Nation? Its ethnic composition comes from Korea, Tunguska, our mainland, South Asia and South China. These individuals formed the Yamato nation, which is today's Japanese version, so this is also a theory. There is another saying, why is it called Tangdukou? Wu Zetian founded the Zhou Dynasty, and she persecuted the relatives of the imperial clan in the Tang Dynasty. Many nobles in the Tang Dynasty fled to Yougu Town and Village with the help of this current, and landed from here, so it was called Tangdukou. In other words, people from China often came here in the Tang Dynasty. This view is the view of a professor at Yamaguchi University in Japan. He said this. Therefore, these provide a historical background for Yang Guifei's landing. Let's talk about whether Yang Guifei is dead or not. You've been talking for a long time. Are you dead or not? You give us a definite answer. Historically, the book of Tang Dynasty recorded June 13. Of course, this refers to the lunar calendar. On June 13th, the fifteenth year of Tianbao, at dawn, Tongguan was broken by An Lushan rebellion. The emperor and his concubines, including Yang Guifei and his prince and grandson, including the representative of the Sixth Army, Chen, led his army out of Yanqi Gate in Chang 'an and ran west. Where is it in the west? It is Xianyang. Comrades who have been to Xi 'an may know that Xianyang is very close to Xi 'an. Now, if you walk, you can get to Xianyang in about 20 minutes by car. Now Xianyang and Xi 'an are slowly connected, so it is difficult to distinguish them. But it was forty miles, and this group of people walked for a long time. At noon, they arrived in Xianyang. Originally, they wanted to call Xianyang county magistrate to receive them, but when Xianyang county magistrate heard of the rebellion, he ran faster than anyone and disappeared. At the same time, the emperor quietly ran out of Chang 'an, and no one dared to tell him, because it was very immoral for the emperor to escape. So officials went to court and found out why the emperor had disappeared, only to know that the emperor had run away, so Chang' an was in chaos, robbing shops, setting fires and robbing houses, so they all came out. So in this case, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty couldn't even eat in Xianyang. What was recorded at that time? Gao Lishi bought some biscuits from the street for the emperor to eat, and the soldiers also wanted to eat them. This is actually an opportunity and the most direct cause of rebellion. So it was the prince who really manipulated the rebellion. He wanted to usurp the throne, so he killed Yang and Yang Guifei's sister, including Yang's son. Yang's daughter-in-law fled this trouble spot. It is said that she went to Baoji, but I didn't know that she went to Hanzhong, and she was killed after all. So, after Chen was killed, he contacted the emperor as a representative and asked Yang Guifei to be executed. Why did he execute Yang Guifei? Because the soldier killed Yang Jiaquan, and the imperial concubine is still with the emperor, it is a disaster for you as a soldier to be uneasy. Although she said she wouldn't ask about state affairs, you are a threat to us after all, so she demanded that Yang Guifei be executed, otherwise, she wouldn't leave. In this case, Tang Xuanzong reluctantly gave up his love, so he killed him. So what does this Japanese blue book record? It read: "Gao Lishi called the imperial concubine out of her bedroom and hanged her under the tree in front of the temple. Chen, the representative of the Sixth Army, checked and confirmed his death. " This record seems to be not much different from ours. Some analysts said that Chen forced the emperor to execute Yang Guifei, which was really detrimental to the dignity of the emperor. If an emperor asks to kill his daughter-in-law, you will kill him. This face really hurts his face. Therefore, Chen is guilty and rude. He also knew very well that what he had done was against the emperor's wishes. The emperor was very unhappy, so he was also timid. Our history books also record that "the soldiers of the Fourth Army heard of Yang Guifei's death, that is, they cheered and Chen bowed without armor." He took off his armor from his military uniform. Why did he take it off? Confess your sins! Kill the emperor's daughter-in-law and confess your sins. So in this case, it means that he didn't examine Yang Guifei's body. In this case, it is really disrespectful to examine Yang Guifei's body and the queen's body. Does he dare? He didn't dare, and who executed Yang Guifei's death sentence? In fact, it was Xiao Zhang who strangled her, so it is impossible to find an expert who specializes in hanging people in the process of escape. Therefore, it is not so easy for Xiao Zhang to strangle people and strangle a person, not to say that one person will die. What's more, this Xiao Zhang can kill Yang Guifei with a little intention or even unintentionally. The emperor of the army has left, and this Yang Guifei is slowly recovering, but she is recovering, so there is no need to do it again. It's not necessary. This matter has been settled and settled. She lives, so she lives. When Yang Guifei woke up, there were only the chamberlain and maid-in-waiting who handled her funeral. Some analysts say that Yang Guifei stayed for four reasons. The first point: It is said that Yang Guifei is very generous to people, and the so-called troublemaker is also a kind person, so he may not be guilty in the palace. Everyone has great feelings for her. The second point: Who was regulating the relationship between Xuanzong and the army during his escape? His son's name is Li Mao, the longevity king. Who is Li Mao and Li Mao is Yang Guifei's ex-husband? Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty took a fancy to his son's daughter-in-law, so he took his daughter-in-law as his own, and Li Mao also gave him his beloved wife. So after this happened to his beloved wife, do you think he can not help? He will certainly help. The third reason: Gao Lishi helped. Not to mention the relationship between Gao Lishi and Yang Guifei, this Gao Lishi first designed Yang Guifei as a female Taoist, and then married Tang Xuanzong. He designed all this. He can't strangle her any more. Last point: Yang Guifei's nephew helped. Her nephew is called Yang Xuan. She had several nephews, and all the others were killed by soldiers. Only this Yang Xuan was not dead at that time. Who's Yang Xuan? It's Yang's son. Yang is Xu's son and Princess Wan Chun's husband. He lives in Hong Qing. What is the official of Hon. Qing? He is the foreign minister, the foreign minister of the Tang Dynasty, and has a deep friendship with the envoys who went to the Tang Dynasty. In the accompanying team, do you remember the envoys of the Tang Dynasty? If such a thing happens to the aunt of the foreign minister, it is reasonable to send them to help in these crisis times. Then how did Yang Guifei get to the seaside when she was going to Japan by boat? This gives us an idea of what path Yang Guifei will take if she doesn't die. When Mr. Yu Pingguo explained the Song of Eternal Sorrow, he also suggested that the imperial concubine should not die. Yang Guifei has only one way to escape, from Zhouzhi, Shaanxi, how to get there. She can't follow Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and go to Jiange and Sichuan via Baoji and Fenzhou, but she can't. Follow the emperor. It's too dangerous. But she can't go back to Chang 'an. Chang 'an is a mess, and there is only one way for her to go, that is, Luo Luo Lu in Zhouzhi. Luo Luo Lu started from Luokou Post Station (now called Luokou Village) in zhouzhi county, entered the mountainous area, crossed the Qinling Mountains and left Yangxian County, Shaanxi Province. She came from such a Shu Road, which was first built. Recently, Shu Dao has been walking up and down the valley, along the river valley. However, this Luoluo Road is a mountain crossing. When crossing the river in water, it goes straight up and down. Today, the flight route from Hanzhong to Xi 'an still flies along Luoluo Road, so you can imagine what kind of road it is, and it is the steepest. That is to say, Yang Guifei may come in from Luo Pass along this Luo Road, go out from Yangxian County, go south along the Han River, then go to the Yangtze River, and then go south to the seaside. Of course, this is just a statement. The official history of China is completely different from the written records of the Japanese. We don't judge who is who. History has left us such a story. The intangible beauty of Yang Guifei and the illusion we can't catch behind Maweipo are the artistic tension, which gives space for the development and expansion of literature and art. Therefore, from the anecdote of Tianbao, in history, no matter poetry or biography, there are many poems written by literati in Yang Guifei's tomb in Maweipo, as well as some dramas such as "Palace of Eternal Life", "Tang Taifei" and "Emperor Taizong". This is the wealth left by our ancestors. We say that Yang Guifei danced from clothes to death and went to visit her hometown in the valley town in front of an Emei horse. Yang Guifei can't catch this. This confusion may be Yang Guifei's original intention!
