Guifei is not a given name, according to Basic rules for Hanyu Pinyin Orthography ( GB/T 16159-1996), it should be written in lower case. Yao Ziyuan 13:43, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
I am probably going to expand the article this coming week. I'd like to propose that the article be moved to Consort Yang Yuhuan as part of it, to conform with, for example, Consort Xiao (Gaozong) and Consort Wu (Xuanzong). -- Nlu ( talk) 21:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Google search 21,600 v.s. 2,470, I'll move it back.-- Keyi
The use of the term "Consort Yang" is ambiguous, since Xuanzong had more than one Consort Yang. Besides Yang Guifei, there was another famous Consort Yang, Yang Guipin (posthumously, Empress Yuanxian), mother of Emperor Suzong. Yang Guifei is popular in English works; however, if a translation were desired, "Yang Guifei" means Chief Consort Yang, or something like that. Dcattell ( talk) 20:56, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Yang Guifei's birthdate is given as 719. The date of her marriage to Li Mao is given as 733, which would make her either 13 or 14. However, the next sentence states that she was 16 at the time of her marriage. Is it known which of these dates/ages is correct? NeutronSoup ( talk) 19:50, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
I find the following sentence from the article a bit confusing: "Yang was known for having a full and fleshy figure, which was a much sought-after quality at the time, but must not be viewed in the modern context of someone who is overweight" (my italics).
What is the author trying to say here? That she would be considered overweight by modern standards, but not by her contemporaries? Or that she was curvaceous rather than overweight? Or something else entirely that I'm just missing? Maitreya ( talk) 11:40, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
