Why is Yang Shengping, one of the four concubines, unknown to everyone?

Introduction to Yang

Yang, a native of the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, was the daughter of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and one of the "Four Concubines" of the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Yang is the biological mother of Li Ke and Li Cheng. There are very few historical records about Yang. Only the biography of Wu Ke has records, but there are not many people. It's unclear when Young died.

Yang’s biological mother is not recorded in historical materials. There are many possible surnames, but there is no conclusive basis for them. Some scholars believe that Yang was born into a family of high-ranking concubines, some believe that she was born into a family of ordinary concubines, and some believe that she was born after Xiao. There's a lot of debate about this. Emperor Yang Di loved traveling throughout his life and traveled all over the country. During this period, Yang also traveled to many places with her father, so she had a wide range of knowledge.

In the ninth year of Wude, that is, after the Xuanwumen incident, Li Shimin proclaimed himself emperor. According to the biography of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, it is the simplest collective term for concubines, but Yang should have been named a princess after succeeding to the throne and was one of the four concubines. According to the four-star system of Zhou rites and the system of the Tang Dynasty, the status of the "four concubines" is second only to the queen. They are "noble concubine", "noble concubine", "virtuous concubine" and "virtuous concubine". Unfortunately, however, Fei Yang's specific title is unknown and has been lost when she won it. Yang is the title given to Yang by our descendants based on the situation at that time. The year of Yang's death is unknown, and whether Yang was buried together with Zhaoling.

Yang’s life

Yang was born in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty. Her name is unknown, her birth and death dates are unknown, and her birthplace is not recorded in history books.

As one of the few children, Yang lived a carefree and well-fed life and received a good education from the royal family. Yang Di has been passionate about traveling throughout his life and has traveled all over the country. During this period, Yang also traveled with her father, so her knowledge was very broad. For the character Yang, there are many blanks in history.

In the context of the Sui Dynasty, in just a few years, she fell from the emperor's sweetheart to the daughter of a subjugated country. There are many unknown things about Yang's life experience, such as when Yang married Qin, when Yang was canonized, etc. There has always been a lot of controversy about Yang's title ban. One view is that Fei Yang is one of the four concubines, so her title is not contradictory. Another view is that Fei Yang died early and she was sealed later. Therefore, there are still many different disputes about her title, but there is no basis to confirm which one it is.

The year of Fei's death is unknown, and the name "Fei Yang" is not included in the burial list of Zhaoling in the Tang Dynasty. However, the list requested by the Tang Dynasty is not complete, so it is unknown whether Fei Yang will be buried with Zhaoling. At the beginning of the fourth year of Hui's reign, Li Ke was involved in a political struggle and died unjustly. Her brother Li_ was also implicated, but this case did not affect Fei Yang's life, so it is difficult to judge whether the historical materials were lost or whether she died before this incident.
