As concubine She was allegedly the inspiration for
The Beauty Song, composed by her brother
Li Yannian. Lady Li was born in an entertainer family; she was a dancer. Her parents and brothers were also entertainers. Lady Li's brother
Li Yannian was a musician for
Princess Pingyang. After he performed
The Beauty Song () for
Emperor Wu, the Emperor asked Li Yannian if he knew of such a woman, to which Princess Pingyang responded that the song was about Li's sister. The Emperor thus requested to meet with Lady Li, and she became one of his concubines. She had one son named Bo (髆).
Treason and execution of her family In the civil unrest between the Li family and Empress
Wei Zifu's family, several of Li's relatives were killed and executed. At the time Empress Wei Zifu was the head wife of Liu Che, and Wei and Li were jealous of each other. Moreover,
Li Guangli later surrendered to the
Xiongnu circa 90-89 BC and was accused of being a
traitor. Li's family was then tried and executed for
treason. ==Popular culture==
