Yang

Guifei

was

born

in

today’s

Yongji

County,

Shanxi

Province,

in

719.

The

girl

was

a

little

bit

fat

but

extremely

beautiful

in

appearance

of

bearing.

She

behaved

in

polite

and

lovely

manner.

From

her

childhood,

she

was

good

at

singing

and

dancing,

especially

at

pandering

and

catering

in

public

or

private

surrounding.

At

first

she

was

selected

as

a

concubine

of

the

Emperor’s

son

at

her

age

of

17.

However,

the

old

emperor’s original concubine Wu Hui died and substituted by Yang

years

later.

Actually,

Yang

became

the

first

wife

of

the

Emperor

falling

in love with her all day long. Although he was at the age of 61, still

his mind and heart were full of the 27-year-old beauty. The Emperor had

been lazy to manage public affairs every day since his favorite beauty

joined his life.

唐玄宗整天沉迷于酒色，

杨贵妃家族 一时权力显赫

，

政治越来越腐败

< br>，

边

地将领势力逐渐增强，最后爆发

了

“

安史之乱

”

。

756

< br>年，杨贵妃

被士兵陕西兴平市西马嵬坡缢死。

&ldqu o;

安史之乱

”

时间持续

7

年之久，

唐朝由强盛开始走向衰败。

As

a

Chinese

saying

goes,

"An

old

husband

married

a

young

wife."

the

Emperor

was

deeply

intoxicated

in

debauchery.

The

"new bridegroom" spent much more time in leading his life of

indulgence

in

sensual

pleasures;

therefore

he

neglected

his

administrative duty. Simultaneously the Emperor tried to appoint more

officials

from

Yang’s

family

and

relatives

who

played

an

important

part in the court, and the original higher officials, especially in the

border regions, got so furious that rebellions happened at last. The

rebelling army killed her first cousin and at the same she was hung in

756,

in

Maweipo,

Xingping

County,

Shaanxi

Province.

Although

it

took

seven

years

to

wipe

out

the

seething

rebellion,

the

Tang

Dynasty

turned

progressively worse.

作为中国古代四大美女之一，人们对杨贵妃都感到同情

和惋惜，关于她的

故事也一直被人们津津乐道

。我们现在夏季

常吃的水果

——

< br>荔枝

也是杨贵妃的最爱。唐朝大诗人

< br>杜牧的《过华清宫绝句》就讲述了这个真实的

故事。

However, as a beautiful concubine, Yang Guifei was still attractive

to

everyone

showing

great

sympathy

and

regret

to

her.

So

the

common

people

still told about her story as a pleasure. Particularly in early summer

when we have various sorts of fruit to eat, we will be used to remind of

the beautiful lady who took litchi as her favorite fruit. And still her

story has been told about litchi. Here I’d like to quote the Tang

Dynasty famous poet Du Mu’s poem about it.

“

长安回望绣成堆，山顶千门次第开。一骑红尘妃 子笑，无人知是荔

枝来。

”

荔枝不容易保存，在没有现代化交通工具的唐代，靠飞马从南方

传送荔枝到长安是多么 的困难

。但是为了讨好杨贵妃的欢心，唐玄宗还是令人

骑上快马，从岭南七天七夜，以接力的方式，从千里之外运送荔枝到长安，以供

杨贵妃享用。

在荔枝传送的途中，

差官和马匹常常会累 死，

他们的千辛万苦只是

为了换得杨贵妃的一笑，而人们不知道 送的是荔枝，还以为是紧急公文呢。

I look back Chang’an hilltop embroidered in multicolor,Its

palace gates consecutively open one after another. Whipping the horse

galloping up dust is the rider, No one knows the concubine smiled for

litchi drew near.

The poem tells us a true story in his poetic way. In ancient times,

no easy traffic provided as we have but riding as the best way. In order

to transport litchi from the southern China to the capital city of the

Tang Dynasty, it was necessary for heralds to ride on turn for one stop

to

another

and

still

another.

The

herald

should

carry

litchi

on

horseback

and whipped it galloping fast to the traveling palace on Lishan- hilltop

as a termination so as to meet the beauty’s favorite need.
