The second part is folklore. In the "Mawei Incident", Yang Guifei did not die, but returned to Xianban, and Tang Xuanzong sent Taoist priests to look around.

Yang Yuhuan missed him very much after his death, so he looked everywhere. If he can't find it in reality, he will look for it in his dream. If he can't find it in his dream, he will look for it in fairyland. Finally, with the help of a Taoist priest in Lin Qiong, he found a woman in Penglai, such as the reincarnation of Yang Yuhuan, and then they met at the Changsheng Palace at midnight on July 7.
