The Legend of Everlasting Sorrow

In the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, the emperor was tired of government. When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty caught a glimpse of Princess Shou Yang Yuhuan in the Huaqing Palace, the fate of the empire quietly changed - her hair on the temples was like clouds, her steps were like lotus, and she sang "Neon Clothes and Feathers" to seal her love. The imperial concubine was favored, and the power of the Yang family was overwhelming. The folk song "Don't be sad when a girl is born, don't like a boy" was written with the envy of the world. However, the iron hooves of the Anshi Rebellion crushed the neon clothes, and the three armies in front of Maweipo did not move. The emperor hid his face, the beauty died, and a prosperous love ended abruptly with three feet of white silk. After returning from the chaos, the Supreme Emperor lives alone in the Nangong Palace. Every time he hears the old songs in the Liyuan, he will cry. The Taoist priests in Sichuan were able to master the heavens, and found the Jade Concubine Taizhen in the Penglai Fairy Mountain - the golden hairpin and the hairpin were divided into half, and the secret oath of the Chinese Valentine's Day is still in the ears: "May we always be husband and wife." This classic written by the legendary Tang Dynasty master Chen Hong is not only the creative blueprint for Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", but also reveals the shocking truth about the transition from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty: when love and country are in opposition, the ultimate romance eventually turns into the ultimate pathos.
