About Yang Guifei
- Yang Yuhuan (simplified Chinese: ???; traditional Chinese: ???; pinyin: Yáng Yùhuán; Wade–Giles: Yang2 Yü4-huan2) (26 June, 719 — 15 July 756), often known as Yang Guifei (Yang Kuei-fei; simplified Chinese: ???; traditional Chinese: ???; pinyin: Yáng Guìfei; Wade–Giles: Yang2 Kuei4-fei1; literally: 'Imperial Consort Yang') (with Guifei being the highest rank for imperial consorts during her time), known briefly by the Taoist nun name Taizhen (??), was known as one of the Four Beauties of ancient China.
- She was the beloved consort of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang during his later years. During the An Lushan Rebellion, as Emperor Xuanzong and his cortege were fleeing from the capital Chang'an to Chengdu, the emperor's guards demanded that he put Yang to death because they blamed the rebellion on her cousin Yang Guozhong and the rest of her family.
- The emperor capitulated and reluctantly ordered his attendant Gao Lishi to strangle Yang to death.
