Про одну из жён ханьского императора У (Иван Грозный?) по имени Гоуи рассказывают необычные легенды:

Чжао Гоуи была любимой конкубиной императора после самоубийства императрицы Вэй Цзыфу и ранней смерти от болезни Леди Ли. Он познакомился с ней во время путешествия или охоты. Помимо красоты у неё была необычная особенность: от рождения стиснутые в кулаки руки или рука. Царь У погладил их/её, и они/она чудесно раскрылись. При этом в руке у неё оказался красивый нефритовый крюк (по-китайски гоу). И она стала императрицей Гоуи, т.е. "держащей крюк". (Что за крюк? Серп? Полумесяц?) Ей было 18, и вскоре она родила царю сына. Царь был необычайно рад, так ему самому было уже 62 года, а также потому что беременность её продолжалась необычный срок 14 месяцев (может, на самом деле 7 месяцев?) - такой же как у мифического императора Яо, одного из первоцарей Китая - поэтому У назвал ворота дворца супруги (consort) "Воротами матери Яо". А сына в связи с удачей назвал Фулин (弗陵).
Затем мать с сыном оказались вовлечены в борьбу за наследование, в результате которой старший сын У и Вэй Цзыфу Лю Цзюй после ложного обвинения и затем неудачного восстания бежал и совершил самоубийство с матерью (и снова самоубийства!). Лю Фулин в семилетнем возрасте стал наследным принцем, позже он стал следующим императором Чжао. Но при этом царь У принял решение убить его мать Гоуи (под его давлением она также совершила самоубийство), боясь что она и её родственники при малолетнем императоре приобретут слишком много власти и влияния, подобно тому, как это случилось с императрицей Люй Чжи, супругой императора Гаоцзу, основателя династии (Дмитрий Донской?).
Много историй рассказывалось о смерти Гоуи. Например, что её труп источал аромат, благоухание более чем на 10 ли (ли равен примерно 0,5 км) и сохранялся в течение месяца от времени смерти до погребения. Согласно другой истории, Гоуи говорила императору У, что ей предназначено родить ему сына и умереть когда сыну будет семь лет (а может, 7 месяцев? Если считать возраст от момента зачатия, а не рождения). "Я умру в этот год", говорила она. "Дворец полон злых слухов, что вредят". Говорят также, что её гроб в Юньяне после её смерти опустел. А император У, чтобы общаться с её духом, соорудил во дворце Ганьцюань некую трибуну? (rostrum), на которую часто садилась синяя птица. После того как императором стал следующий после Чжао имп. Сюань, птица больше не появлялась. Сын Гоуи мобилизовал 20 тысяч солдат для возведения могильного холма для неё в Юньлине (пирамиды в Египте?) и основал городок с 3 тысячами жилищ для обслуживания могилы. А также посмертно присвоил матери титул вдовствующей императрицы.
Пишут, что людские толки по поводу смерти Гоуи обвиняли императора У в жестокости по отношению к супруге, другие наоборот восхищались его предвидением.

Своих жён убивали также Периандр, Камбис, Ирод, Синяя Борода. В целом, легенды о Гоуи говорят о её святости. Благоухание после смерти приписывали обычно святым. Вроде бы она предвидела свою смерть. Опустевшая гробница может говорить о воскрешении / вознесении. Благоухание возможно отражает бальзамирование? Периандр и Ирод, кстати, считается, общались посмертно со своими жёнами - возможно, эти слухи возникли под влиянием практики бальзамирования? А что может означать синяя птица? В Китае синии птицы, например, обитают на мифической горе Куньлунь, аналоге рая, и считаются посланниками царицы-матери запада Си Ванму:

У Гоуи была какая-то необычная беременность. И что означает история с кулаком и крюком?

"http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Яо (кит. 堯 — Высоченный, 2353 год до н. э. — 2234 год до н. э.) — легендарный китайский император
...Также Яо, совместно с Небесным стрелком И, усмирил взбунтовавшихся духов ветров.." - - Яо - Высокий (одно из прозвищ Одина также было Высокий), действовал совместно со стрелком И (Гераклом) - возможно, тоже отражение Андроника-Христа?

In 94 BC, then-Prince Fuling was born to a favorite concubine of Emperor Wu, Consort Zhao, who carried the title Lady Gouyi (鉤弋夫人). Emperor Wu was ecstatic in having a child at his advanced age (62), and because Consort Zhao purportedly had a pregnancy that lasted 14 months long—the same length as the mythical Emperor Yao – he named Consort Zhao's palace gate "Gate of Yao's Mother." This led to speculations that he, due to his favor for Consort Zhao and Prince Fuling, wanted to make Prince Fuling crown prince instead of Crown Prince Liu Ju, the son of Empress Wei Zifu. That, in turn, led to conspiracies against Prince Ju and Empress Wei, eventually forcing Prince Ju to pre-emptively rise up in military self-defence in 91 BC. Being misunderstood as a revolt, Prince Ju was defeated and went into exile, and both he and Empress Wei committed suicide soon afterwards.

In Chinese folklore, Empress Gouyi, known as a pretty woman from Jianli, was unable to open her fist until she met Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty on a trip to Mengzou. When she opened her fist in front of the emperor, people found that she had been holding a pretty jade hook (gou). She became "Empress Gouyi," meaning "the empress who holds a hook." According to The Records of History (Shi Ji) and The History of the Early Han Dynasty (Han Shu), Empress Gouyi was involved in one of the most complex cases of family politics in Chinese history. After the death of Emperor Wu's eldest son, the emperor wanted to make Empress Gouyi's son the crown prince, who was later known as Emperor Zhao. The crown prince was a baby when his father made this decision. Following the decision, Emperor Wu killed Empress Gouyi. When someone asked why he had killed the mother of the new crown prince, the emperor said that he was afraid that Empress Gouyi and her relatives would dominate the empire when the boy became an emperor. The potential power of the empress's relatives was a great fear of the central government during the Han dynasty (Sima Qian 1959: Book 49; Ban Gu 1962: Book 97).

Many stories have been told over the centuries about the death of Consort Gouyi. One is that the corpse gave off a fragrance that wafted more than ten li and that persisted for a month, from the time of her death until her burial. Another, recorded in the Song dynasty Taiping yulan, is that Consort Gouyi told Emperor Wu that sha was destined to bear him a son and to die when the son was seven. "I will die this year," she said. "The palace is full of evil humors that are harmful." And then she died. It is also said that her coffin in Yunyang was empty after she died. The Yunyang ji records that to communicate with Consort Gouyi's spirit, Emperor Wu built in Ganquan Palace a rostrum on which a blue bird would often perch. After Liu Xun (Emperor Xuan, 91-49 B.C.E.; r. 73-49 B.C.E.) succeeded to the throne, however, the bird was never seen again.
In the seventh month of the year he succeeded to the throne, Consort Gouyi's son conferred on her the posthumous title of empress dowager. He then mobilized 20,000 soldiers to build a grave mound for her at Yunling and established a township of 3,000 households to tend the grave.
...People have never ceased taking sides about the death of Consort Gouyi, either accusing Emperor Wu of cruelty or admiring him for his foresight. No one, however, ever charged him, as they should have, ...

The 'empress' who was killed because Han Wudi feared leaving a powerful empress dowager after his death was not Wei Zifu, but the concubine Lady Gouyi (surnamed Zhao). She was Han Wudi's most favoured concubine after Wei Zifu's suicide and Lady Li's (sister of Li Yannian and Li Guangli) early death from sickness. He had been presented with her in his 60's, on a hunting expedition. Besides her beauty, what made her special was that her hands apparently had been clenched tight ever since she was born. Han Wudi started stroking her hands, and they miraculously opened up. Lady Gouyi was 18 at the time, and she later bore Han Wudi's last son Liu Fuling. But just before his death, Han Wudi made 7-year-old Liu Fuling the Crown Prince, and then decided that Lady Gouyi must die in order to safeguard the stability of the throne (he had already instructed Huo Guang and other trusted ministers like Jin Ridi and Sang Hongyang to rule for Liu Fuling until he grew up, and an empress dowager might try to compete with them). So Lady Gouyi was forced to commit suicide. Later during the Northern Wei dynasty (Age of Fragmentation), this terrible custom of killing a crown prince's mother would be revived for a while, but it was never followed again during the Han dynasty.

On a fine day Emperor Wudi left the capital for a hunting tour in Hejian. An attendant skilled at necromancy told him that there must be some unusual person living in the area judging by the auspicious clouds gathering in the sky. Intrigued, the emperor ordered the guards to make a search. A moment later the guards brought back a very lovely girl. Apart from her shining visage, she did have something unusual about her: her hands were clasped into tight fists and she could not straighten her fingers.
Curious, the emperor walked up to her and stroked her hands gently. Gradually the girl extended her palms and began to move her fingers with facility. Pleased, the emperor took her with him and had the Gouyi palace built as her residence. Nicknamed the "Fist Lady," she joined the imperial harem at eighteen and became the last of Emperor Wudi's favorite consorts. Later she gave birth to a son after a pregnancy of fourteen months. Pleased to have a son in his old age, the emperor named the baby Fuling. Once he remarked to some attendants, "The great King Yao took fourteen months to be born. Maybe Fuling has something in common with Yao!" After that he bestowed increasing favor on the Fist Lady and her son.
A few years later a bizarre incident took place in the palace. A suspicious-looking man wearing a sword was seen by Emperor Wudi to walk into the palace without permission. The guards conducted a thorough search but failed to find the man. The emperor considered this to be an ill omen. In his later years Emperor Wudi became a sickly, irritable old man. He suspected that his illness was caused by witchcraft in the palace. At his order, the guards dug deeply into the palace grounds. They unearthed a wooden figurine, and a flurry of interrogation and torture followed. There was panic and confusion among the residents of the palace as more and more people became implicated in the witch hunt.
Then someone told Emperor Wudi that the heir apparent had made many wooden figures inscribed with vicious curses. The heir apparent went into panic and sought help from his mother, the empress. They decided to destroy the implicator by force. Emperor Wudi, informed that this was a revolt against him, commanded the troops to pacify the situation. The fight that ensued resulted in more than ten thousand casualties. Both the heir apparent and the empress ended by taking their own lives.
