Shangguan Wan'er
Shangguan Wan'er (664?〔Historical sources indicate that Shangguan Wan'er was an infant when her grandfather Shangguan Yi and father Shangguan Tingzhi were killed in the winter of 664, implying, but not establishing with certainty, that she was born in 664. See ''Old Book of Tang'', vol. 51 () and ''New Book of Tang'', vol. 76.()〕–21 July 710) was a concubine/imperial consort to two emperors of the Tang dynasty. Although caught up in court intrigues and executed in 710, she is famous for her talent as a poet, writer and politician.〔"Far more influential in her day than any of these (Xue Tao, Yu Xuanji, Li Ye ), though barely two dozen of her poems are now preserved, was the elegant Shangguan Wan'er (ca. 664-710), granddaughter of the executed courtier and poet Shangguan Yi (?-665) who had paid the ultimate price for opposing empress Wu Zhao's (625-705) usurpation of imperial privileges." Kroll, Paul W. "The Life and Writings of Xu Hui (627-650), Worthy Consort, at the Early Tang Court" in ''Asia Major'', Third Series, Vol. 22, No. 2 (2009), p. 35.〕
When Wan'er was 13 years old, she became a secretary of Wu Zetian, who was then the empress of Emperor Gaozong and later became an empress in her own right. At age 42, when Wan'er became imperial consort to Wu Zetian's son Li Xian, later known as Emperor Zhongzong, she was given the imperial consort rank of Zhaorong (昭容).
==Childhood==
Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather Shangguan Yi had become a prominent official early in the reign of Emperor Gaozong and had become chancellor in 662. In 664, Emperor Gaozong was angry at the level of influence that his second wife Empress Wu (later known as Wu Zetian) was exerting over policies, and he consulted Shangguan Yi, who recommended that he depose Empress Wu. However, when Empress Wu discovered this, Emperor Gaozong changed his mind and instead blamed Shangguan Yi. At Empress Wu's instigation, her allies, the chancellor Xu Jingzong falsely accused Shangguan Yi of plotting with Emperor Gaozong's son Li Zhong, on whose staff Shangguan had served at one time, as well as the eunuch Wang Fusheng (王伏勝) (who had earlier reported Empress Wu's wrongdoing to Emperor Gaozong) against Emperor Gaozong. Li Zhong was forced to commit suicide, while Wang, Shangguan Yi, and Shangguan Wan'er's father Shangguan Tingzhi (上官庭芝) were put to death on January 3, 665.〔Kroll, p. 35.〕
After Shangguan Yi's and Shangguan Tingzhi's deaths, Shangguan Wan'er and her mother Lady Zheng—a sister of the official Zheng Xiuyuan (鄭休遠) -- were spared but became slaves in the inner imperial palace. As Shangguan Wan'er grew older, she learned to read and write from her mother. She read extensively and showed a talent for writing prose and poetry at an early age, as well as in matters of civil service regulations. After Empress Wu stumbled upon poems written by the 13-year-old Shangguan Wan'er in the crown prince's study, Empress Wu summoned Shangguan Wan'er and asked her to compose an essay based on a given theme right on the spot. Shangguan Wan'er performed marvellously, and the Empress was so impressed that she appointed Wan'er her personal secretary.
