"The Palace of Eternal Life" was created by Hong Sheng in the early Qing Dynasty, with a total of two volumes and fifty publications. It is based on the long poem "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" by Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi and the play "Wu Tong Yu" by Yuan Dynasty playwright Bai Pu. Through the love story between Tang Xuanzong and his imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan, it focuses on describing the huge disaster brought to the country by the emperor's fatuousness and political corruption during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, which led to the almost collapse of the dynasty. At the same time, it expresses sympathy for the love between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan, indirectly expresses sympathy for the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and entrusts the ideal of beautiful love.
