Yang Guifei, a beauty of the Tang Dynasty, was born in Hongnong Huayin, which is now Huayin City, Shaanxi Province. She was naturally beautiful and unparalleled in her beauty. Some books refer to her as "Yang Yuhuan" or "Yang Taizhen", but these appellations may not be accurate. Yang Guifei was skilled in singing and dancing since childhood and proficient in music. It is said that she was not only good at singing and dancing, but also a musician. She was proficient in Hu Xuan dance and could play various instruments such as the pipa. It is not difficult to imagine how much they were like-minded when they met, with Yang Guifei dancing gracefully and accompanying the pipa!

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang learned that Yang Yuhuan was a beautiful woman with both talent and appearance, and he eagerly wanted to meet her. Once he saw her, he was overwhelmed by her beauty and believed that she was a beauty from the fairy world. From then on, Emperor Xuanzong favored Yang Guifei for 11 years. Why could Yang Guifei maintain Emperor Xuanzong's favor for 11 years? First of all, her beauty spoke for itself. Secondly, Yang Guifei was understanding and could empathize with Emperor Xuanzong's inner distress and troubles. This was because Yang Guifei was intelligent and witty, and she could help Emperor Xuanzong solve his problems with her wit and humor. Thirdly, Yang Guifei took care of Emperor Xuanzong's diet and daily life meticulously, making him feel extremely comfortable and warm. Finally, Yang Guifei played a positive role in Emperor Xuanzong's authority and status. Yang Guifei was officially appointed as "Guifei", one of the highest-ranking concubines in the imperial palace. With the help of Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuanzong's prestige and reputation were widely spread and praised.

Although Yang Guifei was popular in the palace, some of her behaviors and actions were controversial at that time. For example, she had a rumored affair with An Lushan, which caused some powerful figures in the palace to resent her. Additionally, Yang Guifei also exhibited some arrogant and overbearing behaviors in the palace, which caused some disputes and conflicts regarding her position. However, during the Mawei Post Incident, Yang Guifei became the focal point of the dispute between Emperor Xuanzong and Prince Li Heng. Due to the strong demands of the soldiers, Emperor Xuanzong was forced to agree to execute Yang Guifei. It is said that Yang Guifei was strangled to death under a pear tree in front of the Buddhist temple. Although Yang Guifei's death was unrelated to the coup, her death became the spark of the incident. Emperor Xuanzong greatly admired Yang Guifei's beauty and intelligence, which helped consolidate his position in the palace. However, the death of Yang Guifei also caused him great sorrow. It is said that Emperor Xuanzong felt extreme regret and sadness after executing Yang Guifei.
