Yu Xuanji is a real person in history, her real name is Yu Youwei, and she is a talented woman in the Tang Dynasty.
She was once married to a concubine, but because she was not compatible with her wife, she could only become a female Taoist priest in Xianyiguan.
In Xianyiguan, Yu Xuanji lived a ** life, chanted poetry and friends, stayed overnight if he liked, and expelled from the door if he didn't like.
Her reputation was outstanding, and for a while, people in Chang'an City stepped through the threshold of Xianyiguan. However, her life is not peaceful, she suspects that her maid Midori is having an affair with her courtier, and out of jealousy or anger, she whips Midori to death and buries her hastily in the backyard of Xianyiguan.

Yu Xuanji rebelled against the ancient definition of a woman, she did not want to be a sister-in-law, but pursued her own happiness and freedom.
Through the mysterious story, the film shows the plight and struggle of women in ancient society, and also expresses women's desire for freedom and happiness. This film produced by Shaw Brothers is an alternative among costume romance films, it is not only a Y romance film, but also a work full of artistic sense and thinking. It makes us re-examine the fate and status of women in ancient times, and also makes us think about the role and value of modern women in society.
In ancient times, women's paths were narrow and winding, and they were often tied under the four corners of the family, either as objects of the powerful or as victims of the world.
However, there are always women who do not want to be dictated by fate, who yearn for freedom and who want to be in control of their own destiny.
Yu Youwei is one of them. She came from a humble background, but she has extraordinary ambitions and pursuits. She does not want to be an accessory to others, and she does not want to be bound by the shackles of the world.
So, she chose to become a female Taoist priest and embarked on a journey to find herself and freedom.
In the days of saltiness, Yu Youwei and the maid Lu Qiao depend on each other.
They practice the Tao together and ** life philosophy together. Yu Youwei's yearning for freedom infected Lu Qiao, and the two swam in the river together, enjoying the gifts of nature to the fullest.
However, fate is always full of uncertainties. One day, Yu Youwei met a river ranger - Cui Bohou while swimming.
He is personable, handsome and dashing, and like Yu Youwei, he does not want to be bound by the world.
The two developed feelings in an environment of lonely men and widows and spent the Spring Festival together.
However, Cui Bohou chose to leave, he was afraid that he would fall into the emotional quagmire.
Yu Youwei was extremely disappointed, she thought that the Taoist Temple was a place outside the world, but she didn't expect that the people in the Taoist Temple would inevitably be vulgar. She began to be suspicious and distrustful of the people around her, and even attacked Lu Qiao.
During the days of the Taoist temple, the relationship between Yu Youwei and Lu Qiao became more and more complicated, and finally staged a love drama.
However, the trick of fate did not end there. Lu Qiao later became pregnant and planned to leave Yu Youwei to marry away from home. Yu Youwei felt betrayed, and she felt that the people around her were not exempt.
During an altercation, she accidentally kills Midori. Yu Youwei was asked to be beheaded because of this, and the actor Lin Kailing of Luqiao almost withdrew from the circle, and there was no such person.
This story ends in tragedy, and people can't help but feel sorry for the fate of Yu Youwei and Lu Qiao.
However, this tells us that even if we have a bad fate, even if the road is tortuous, as long as we persist in the pursuit of freedom and independence, we can shine our own light on the stage of life! Awn!.
In the ancient halls of Xianyiguan, the dust of history is intertwined with secrets.
It was here that the love affair between Cui Bohou and Yu Youwei bloomed again. That night, Yu Youwei used the tenderness and strength of a woman to lead Cui Bohou to her world.
Her eyes were full of anger at Lu Qiao's betrayal and hatred for the relationship between Cui Bohou and Lu Qiao.
The picture in the movie is picturesque. Snowflakes fall and cover the earth, forming a pure white world.
And Yu Youwei, dressed in tattered clothes, was lying in the snow, with a faint stain of blood on her body. Her beauty, like the snowflakes, is poignant and tenacious.
The aesthetics of Shaw Brothers films are perfectly interpreted at this moment. When Lu Qiao's betrayal is revealed, Yu Youwei's fate also comes to an end.
She was sentenced to Z head, and Cui Bohou, although he had the heart to save him, failed to do so. In the end, the two walked together to the X field.
At that moment, their destinies, like falling snowflakes, were intertwined and could not be separated.
The movie "Tang Dynasty Heroic Girl" not only shows the glory of the Tang Dynasty in terms of costumes and props, but also gives them a unique charm in terms of character building.
Cui Bohou, like a ranger in the rivers and lakes, has the same thing as the Japanese ronin swordsman.
And Yu Youwei, her clothing and temperament also make people feel the charm of the Japanese style.
This can't help but make people sigh that the glory of the Tang Dynasty did affect many countries, including Japan.
