What does it mean to have three thousand harem beauties?

There are many beautiful women in the emperor's harem. The "three thousand" here is a rough figure, which is of great significance.

Belle 3,000: According to the Biography of Eunuchs in the Old Tang Dynasty, there were 40,000 maids in Chang 'an Palace, Daming Palace, Xingqing Palace, Prince Ten Palace, Grandson Baisun Palace, Dudong Palace and Shangyang Palace during the Kaiyuan and Tianbao years.

From Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow in the Tang Dynasty: "There are other women in his court, and there are 3,000 stunning beauties, but his love for 3,000 beauties is concentrated in one body."

These two poems mean that there are countless beauties in the harem of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, but Yang Guifei is the favorite.

Song of Eternal Sorrow tells the love tragedy between Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei. With the help of historical figures and legends, poets have created touching stories and reproduced the truth of real life through their own artistic images, which have infected readers for thousands of years. The theme of this poem is "Song of Eternal Sorrow".

Creation background

In the first year of Yuanhe, Tang Xianzong (806), Bai Juyi was appointed as the county commandant of _ _ (now zhouzhi county, Xi).

One day, my friends Chen Hong and Wang Zhifu and I visited Xianyou Temple near Ant, and talked about Li Longji and Yang Guifei. Wang Zhifu believes that something as outstanding as this will disappear with the passage of time if it is not polished. He encouraged Bai Juyi: "Lotte is deeper than poetry and deeper than love. How about trying to make a song? "

So Bai Juyi wrote this long poem. Because the last two sentences of the long poem are "the earth lasts forever, and the sky lasts forever;" One day, both will end, and this endless sadness will last forever. "They called this poem" The Song of Eternal Sorrow ". At the same time, Chen Hong wrote a legendary novel "Song of Eternal Sorrow".

The Tragic Love Story of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei

Yang Guifei was originally the princess of Shouwang, the son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. However, due to the death of Wu Huifei, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he was unhappy every day, and many Chaocheng chose suitable beauties for him in different places. So someone reported to Tang Xuanzong that there was a beautiful woman in the palace with elegant qualifications, like a fairy. After seeing it, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was attracted by Yang Yuhuan's beauty, and Yang Yuhuan was also good at singing and dancing, which was very suitable for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty who was proficient in melody.

Since Yang Yuhuan is his son's princess, if he is publicly accepted as his concubine, he will be spurned by the world. Therefore, Yang Yuhuan is called a female Taoist, which is too real. Five years after Yang Yuhuan became a monk, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty named Yang Yuhuan the imperial concubine.

In the fifth year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent Yang Guifei back to her family in a rage because she was jealous. However, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty without Yang Guifei was not happy in the palace. He misses Yang Guifei every day, but he has to pretend to be happy because of the king's face. Finally, Yang Guifei asked the minister to give her hair to the minister, who then gave it to the emperor.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty saw the hair of the imperial concubine and missed it very much, so he took Yang Guifei back to the palace. Yang Guifei, who was taken back to the palace, is even more blessed. She can be described as a special pet. From then on, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty left other concubines aside, only pampering Yang Guifei, making Yang Guifei inseparable every day and taking her with him at official banquets.

Tang Xuanzong knew melody very well and loved melody, songs and dance, while Yang Guifei had high attainments in dance. According to historical records, when Emperor Xuanzong first met Yang Guifei in Huaqingchi Hot Spring, he wrote down colorful feathers. Yang Guifei immediately danced with this song, dancing beautifully, just like a fairy descending to earth. Tang Xuanzong was very happy. Later, he often asked her to dance colorful feather dance, and sometimes accompanied her personally.

Once in the Eternal Life Palace in Huaqingchi, on July 7th, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl Bridge met. Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei both knelt on the hall of eternal life. They vowed: "Life is short. I hope we will always be husband and wife. After this life, there will be an afterlife." Poet Bai Juyi wrote this scene into an eternal love poem: "How we wish two birds could be one, fly in the sky, live and grow together on the earth, and have two branches in one tree." It has been passed down through the ages and is immortal.

Because of Yang Guifei's love, Yang Guifei's family has also been promoted. Yang Guifei's brother was made a vassal, and three sisters in the family were also made the wives of the princess. Among them, Yang Guifei's cousin Yang was made prime minister, but he did many things that endangered the country during Yang's administration. Traitors are in power and eunuchs are dictatorial. However, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty associates with Yang Guifei every day, caring nothing about state affairs and indulging in pleasure.

In June of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, Tongguan fell. Tang Xuanzong only wanted to save his life, so he fled with Yang Guifei and some of his family. In the process of escape, Tang Xuanzong and others came to the horse station. At this time, the army immediately surrounded Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, and told Tang Xuanzong to hand over Yang Guifei, otherwise he would defect.

Among the beauties of mountains and rivers, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty finally chose mountains and rivers and gave Yang Guifei a three-foot white silk to die. Yang Guifei's fate finally fell on Ma Yitie. Back in the palace, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty missed Yang Guifei very much, but he never saw Yang Guifei again. He ordered the workers to draw a portrait of Yang Guifei and hang it in the palace, looking at the portrait all day and thinking about Yang Guifei.
