Yáng Guìfēi (Simplified Chinese: 杨贵妃; Traditional Chinese: 楊貴妃; Pinyin: Yáng Guìfēi), Yáng: (a common surname), Guìfēi: 'highest-ranking imperial concubine' (literally means 'precious princess consort'), (June 1, 719 — July 15, 756), born Yáng Yùhuán (楊玉環), was one of the Four Beauties of ancient China. She was the beloved consort of the Xuanzong emperor for many years, but was ultimately executed (together with her sisters and her cousin Yáng Guózhōng 楊國忠) because the enraged Imperial bodyguard troops were convinced that the Rebellion of Anshi was the fault of the Yang family.
