Sleeping on Begonia, late spring, I wish I could see it in the palm of the Emperor Ming.
Nice clothes are chaos in the Central Plains.
If this jade ring had not caused Nalu Mountain, how could we know that the road to Shu was difficult! Translation:
Concubine Yang was as charming and beautiful as the sleeping begonia in late spring, which made Emperor Tang Ming long for it. Keep her in the palm of your hand and enjoy it. The song "Neon Shang" is the scourge of the Central Plains. If it wasn't because of Yang Yuhuan that An Lushan rebelled, how could Emperor Tang Ming have fled to Sichuan? How could he have known that the road to Shu was as difficult as reaching the sky! Comments:
