Chaos in the Han Palace

"Song of the Han Palace" (Xu Ning) Water flows like jade frost before the flute, Zhao Feiyan, of the Zhao family, serves in Zhaoyang Palace. When the dance in the palm ends, the flute falls silent, And the autumn nights in the thirty-six palaces stretch long. The phoenix perches in the parasol tree. A phoenix will not perch anywhere else. They were once supernatural beings of different forms, one a phoenix, the other a parasol tree. One mutual attraction sealed their tangled fate... But as a phoenix, she had no choice but to obey Heaven's mandate and change the fate of the Han dynasty. And though the parasol tree resented her departure, she still could not bear to leave her. She followed her, and for a thousand years, for a hundred centuries, she would belong to her... After becoming entangled in the Han imperial harem, they both became legendary women remembered throughout history. Only, no one would ever know again that they had loved each other. Ban Jieyu: If only life were always like our first meeting, why should the west wind grieve over a painted fan? Zhao Feiyan: The cool wind rises, and frost falls from the sky. I yearn for my beloved, yet he is too far away to behold. My heart is stirred with sorrow and longing. Theme:
