Maweipo mutiny is a colorful event in the history of China, which has far-reaching influence. Later scholars created a large number of literary works with Maweipo incident as the theme, among which there were many excellent works. However, there are also many literati who tamper with history for grandstanding, saying that Yang Guifei is not dead, which leads to a large number of stories. An Lushan, the initiator of "An Shi Rebellion", was cruel, cunning and wise, and was good at speculating on people's wishes. Tang Xuanzong liked him very much. In the 24th year of Kaiyuan (AD 736), An Lushan, then the general of Pinglu, lost the crusade against the Khitan, and Zhang Shou wrote a letter asking the court to behead him, but Tang Xuanzong disagreed. In the 14th year of Tianbao (AD 755), An Lushan rose up against the Tang Dynasty.

The following year, An Lushan's army marched westward, and Emperor Xuanzong was forced to leave Beijing. In Maweipo, soldiers who marched westward defected and killed Yang's brother and sister. The historical truth of this mutiny has always been a topic of active discussion in historians, and many scholars have done very in-depth research. Some scholars believe that this is an unplanned mutiny with no mastermind behind it. The soldiers marched all night, hungry, and launched a mutiny under the leadership of General Chen of Longwu, in order to protect themselves. This statement lacks credibility and is just a phenomenon. Chen, as a general of an empire, can't launch this mutiny. His power is limited and he doesn't have enough political motives. Probably hungry enough to start a mutiny. Other scholars believe that eunuch Gao is the mastermind behind the mutiny. Mr. Huang Yongnian, a scholar in Tang Shi, pointed out that Gao Lishi was an influential official in the Tang Xuanzong period. After Sun Chang Wuji and Chu Suiliang were executed by Emperor Gaozong in the Tang Dynasty, foreign prime ministers could not get their hands on the palace regime, and their power was generally limited to daily government affairs.
