The most authoritative one is the inscription of Yang Fei in Puning County, Rongzhou, written by Xu Zizhen in the whole Tang Dynasty. The inscription says: "Yang Fei, a native of YANGCHONG in Rongzhou, is ten li away from the city and has a nickname of Yu Niang..." YANGCHONG, Rongzhou, is now yangwai village, Shili Township, Rongxian county.
