There are rumors that Yamaguchi Momoe is a descendant of Yang Guifei. Is this statement reliable?

Lady Yang

How beautiful does a woman have to be to be a femme fatale? Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties in ancient China, can definitely be called a femme fatale. She was favored by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, who used to be his father-in-law. In the name of filial piety, she was driven away from her son and prayed for the queen mother in the temple. Later, she became the most beloved of all the concubines. My father-in-law became my husband, and my husband became my son. Even now, we feel that we seldom hear it. During the Anshi Rebellion, she lost her fragrance, but more interestingly, I heard that this legendary woman was not executed, but fled to Japan. Maybe the beauty around you now may be her offspring!

There has always been a view in Japanese folk and academic circles that it was a maid who was hanged at the Mayi Post Station. Not Yang Guifei herself, but Chen Aimei, an imperial general, couldn't bear to kill her and plotted with Gao Lishi to replace her with a maid. Under the escort of Chen's cronies, Yang Guifei fled south, set sail near Shanghai today, drifted to Kuchi, Japan, and spent the rest of her life in Japan. It is rumored that Yang Guifei died shortly after drifting to Japan, because she missed her hometown and her body was not acclimatized.

Statue of Yang Guifei

Today, the tomb of Yang Guifei has been built in the "hometown of Yang Guifei" in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. 1963, a Japanese girl showed her family tree to the TV audience, saying that she was a descendant of Yang Guifei. Yamaguchi Momoe, a famous Japanese movie star, also claimed to be a descendant of Yang Guifei.

Why do Japanese people like to get involved with Yang Guifei and want to get involved with her?

Four beauties, Yang Guifei

Because Japan called Cleopatra, Yang Yuhuan, ancient Egyptian beauty Onomachi and Japanese beauty "the three beauties of the East". They are regarded as talented, intelligent and witty, which shows Yang Yuhuan people's curiosity and love for Japanese. Therefore, if you can be a descendant of Yang Guifei, you will not only have a wonderful sense of historical legend, but also an affirmation of your beauty. Therefore, the love of beauty is regardless of nationality and gender, and we all like beautiful things!

Take fullness as beauty.

As time goes by, we are more and more confused about historical facts. We don't want to believe that the beautiful romantic figure who closed the moon and was ashamed of flowers left the historical stage in such a gloomy way. We always hope that she can leave her unique mark in the world in a different way from ordinary people.
