palace author: yuan Zhen? (Tang)
in the faded old imperial palace, peonies are red, but no one comes to see them.
the ladies-in-waiting have grown white-haired, debating the pomps of Emperor Xuanzong.
Yuan Zhen (779-831) was born in Luoyang, Henan Province, and was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. The tenth grandson of Emperor Zhaocheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Shiyi, has a father of Yuan Kuan and a mother of Zheng.
Yuan Zhen was brilliant and resourceful, and he was famous when he was young. He shared the same subject with Bai Juyi and became lifelong poetry friends. Both of them advocated the new Yuefu movement, known as "Yuan Bai" in the world, and his poem was titled "Yuanhe Style", leaving the world with an eternal saying that "once the sea was difficult to water, forever amber".
Yuan Zhen's poems are shallow and sorrowful, like a lonely phoenix lamenting, which is extremely gripping and touching. In Yuan Zhen's creation, poetry is the greatest achievement. His Yuefu poems are mostly influenced by Zhang Ji and Wang Jian, and his "new topic Yuefu" is directly due to Li Shen. His masterpieces include the legendary Biography of Yingying, Chrysanthemum, Five Poems of Leaving Thoughts, and Three Poems of Sorrow. There are more than 83 existing poems, including 1 volumes of poems and fu, imperial edicts, admonitions, and discussions, among which yuanshi county Changqing Collection remains.
