• W4299519923 abstract "T'ang Studies 8-9 (1990-91) Problems of Chinese Historiography As Seen in the Official Records on Yang Kuei-fei FAN-PEN CHEN UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY One of the most prominent beauties in Chinese history, Yang Yu-huan %'£M (717-756; known more commonly by her imperial title, Yang Kuei-fei MMbZ, and Taoist appellation, Yang T'ai-chen IB^M), was the favorite consort of the great emperor Hsiian-tsung %% (r. 712-756; Ming Huang W M of the T'ang) before his fall. A long literary tradition regarding her began about a generation after her death and has lasted until modern times. The romantic story of the emperor and the consort and her tragic death has become the basis for some of the greatest poetry and drama in Chinese literature. Yet even as a tragic heroine, Yang Kuei-fei is frequently censured for having brought about the downfall of the state. Moreover, many authors have accepted the apocryphal tradition that the consort carried on an illicit affair with the rebel An Lu-shan SSUi, while few seem to have been aware of her first marriage to Ming Huang's son, Li Mao $ S (the Prince of Shou IP 31). Hence, the potential for drama created by the emperor's appropriation of her from his son's harem has only been treated in one work.1 Yang Kuei-fei usually emerges as a state-toppler who is either a tragic, romantic heroine or an adulterous temptress. The reticence concerning her first marriage, the disapproval of her as a sensuous state-toppler, and the inclusion in the official histories of a fictional account of the unseemly intimacy between Yang Kuei-fei and An Lu-shan can all be traced to historiographical problems that influenced the compilation of most of the official sources about her.2 Indeed, while Yang's varying images seem to have been governed by existing historical and literary traditions, by 1 This work is a Ming ch'uan-ch'i && play entitled Tale of the Startled Wild Goose 8Sffis2 by Wu Shih-mei ^tttlS (ca. 1573). Other important sources from the T'ang and Sung for the literary tradition regarding Yang Kuei-fei are not official histories. They are Po Chii-i's fi ^ J§ Song of Everlasting Sorrow ^tBSfc and Ch'en Hung's RtW 'Tale of Everlasting Sorrow'' -5fB3K« which place Yang Kuei-fei on an immortal isle after her death; and the anonymous Biography of 83 Chen: Official Records on Yang Kuei-fei the temperament of their creators as well as by literary conventions of the genres in which tales about her appear, the root of the femtne fatale tradition pertaining to her lies ultimately in the official historical records. These accounts reflect problems inherent in Chinese historiography . They range from specific problems caused by attempts at covering up her previous marriage to more general problems found in differing degrees within all the dynastic histories. The hostility directed at her exemplifies a moral prejudice built into the historical tradition against wives of last rulers of dynasties. In the official histories such wives are deemed responsible for the fall of empires. Besides being the favorite consort of a glorious emperor brought low by a rebellion, Yang Kuei-fei was paternal cousin or sister to a chief minister who was an enemy of the prince who became the succeeding emperor. Since the first state histories in which Yang Kuei-fei appears were compiled during the reign of this succeeding emperor, her image is further tainted by disapproval of the behavior of her relatives on the part of the official historians. Hence, the historiography of Yang Kuei-fei's life also reveals the complicated factional strife during that era. The object of this paper is not to tell again Yang Kuei-fei's genealogy and life story, nor will it deal with stories of her relatives and the court politics of the time. Such topics have been discussed extensively in other sources.4 Rather it will examine the omission, presentation, or mispresentation of certain significant accounts that bear on the image of the consort in the official histories. The first historical record we have concerning Yang Yti..." @default.
