Above: Yang Guifei, by Takaku Aigai.
Yang Yuhuan, often known as Yang Guifei, and also known briefly by the Taoist nun name Taizhen (born June 26, 719, died July 15, 756), 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 Guifei to death because they blamed the rebellion on her cousin Yang Guozhong and the rest of her family. The emperor gave in and reluctantly had Guifei executed by strangulation at the hands of his attendant Gao Lishi.
