Yang Guifei, also known as Yang Yuhuan, was a famous Chinese consort during the Tang Dynasty. She was born in 719 AD and became one of the four great beauties of ancient China. Her beauty and charm captivated Emperor Xuanzong, leading to her rise in prominence at the imperial court.
Yang Guifei played a significant role in the political and cultural life of the Tang Dynasty. Her relationship with the emperor is often associated with the decline of the dynasty, particularly during the An Lushan Rebellion, which was partly fueled by court intrigues and her influence. Despite her tragic end, she remains a symbol of beauty and love in Chinese literature and folklore.
