    It was not her fault. It was the immoral Emperor's lust that caused the downfall of his empire. Why kind of person was he to steal your son's wife? But the Emperor was also at fault to give much power to her relatives as well.

    I'm from Thailand and very interested in history of China especially the Qing Dynasty. I'd like to know about Qainlong's Nara Empress who had been deposed. Since I cannot read any Chinese, it is very difficult to find any good description in English or Thai about that event. So It would be very kind of you to do a story about her background, her relationship with her husband the Emperor, other consorts and what makes her life ended so tragic like that. Thanks for a million times!!!

    Nope, I don't really think that Yang GuiFei was the one who destroyed the empire. The emperor n her brother were the culprits.

    A very sad story indeed. FYI they’re many television dramas and movies about imperial consort yang guifei in China. Her story still inspires a lot of dramatic love narratives to this day!

    Yang Guifei was the first of the four I learned about, through the mention of that poem about her in the Tale of Genji. Yep. A reference to a chinese poem in a thousand year old Japanese novel.

    Guifei or Noble Consort (not Imperial Consort) is one of 4 consort titles of women of equal rank just below Empress in the Tang Dynasty. In later Tang dynasty period the title Guifei became more prestigious.
    Imperial Noble Consort only appears later in the Ming and Qing Dynasty.

    I have just started watching the Chinese show, The Legend of Fuyao. May you please make a video that explains cultural aspects of Chinese texts that us Westerners may miss. Even an explanation of costumes would be great! Also, a Western Romance show vs Eastern Romance show may be a great comparison video.
