History [ edit ]
Taiping was born in 1552 in the Jingjiang county of Jiangxi province, China. She was born into a wealthy family but left home as a teenager to become a Buddhist nun. She traveled to Tibet where she lived for 20 years to study Buddhism and at the same time marry her childhood sweetheart. They had one son, who died at an early age.
In 1578, after Taiping returned to China, her husband died. In order to regain the family's fortune, Taiping became a pirate and fought against the Jin dynasty, the former imperial rulers of China. After years of warfare and many victories, Taiping was eventually defeated by the Jin and was captured by the Yuan dynasty. To save her from execution, she pledged allegiance to the new regime, and became a concubine of the puppet ruler (who was actually her husband's younger brother).
Princess Taiping (Chinese: 太平公主; pinyin: Tàipíng Gōngzhǔ, lit. "Princess of Great Peace", personal name unknown, possibly Li Lingyue (李令月)[a]) (after 662 – 2 August 713[2]) was a royal princess during the Tang dynasty and her mother Wu Zetian's Zhou dynasty.
