The Story Background of the Peking Opera "Li Shu Fu"

The background story tells the love story of Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty. Comparing Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow, we can see that the words in Pear Flower Fu refer to many poems in Song of Eternal Sorrow.

Lyrics of pear flower fu

Ode to Pear Flowers-Meng Jinhui

Word: Weng Sizai

Qu: Yang Nailin

Pears bring rain in spring.

Pear flower falls Chunyu Mud

This life is only for one person.

He said the king was crazy, too.

Love is also crazy.

However, given such a beautiful fate, how could she not be known?

However, given such a beautiful fate, how could she not be known?

Long hatred is an eternal mystery.

A song of eternal regret

Pears bring rain in spring.

Pear flower falls Chunyu Mud

This life is only for one person.

He said the king was crazy, too.

Love is also crazy.

However, given such a beautiful fate, how could she not be known?

However, given such a beautiful fate, how could she not be known?

Long hatred is an eternal mystery.

A song of eternal regret
