Lyrics background of qingpingdiao

In the early 1990s, Cao, a new generation writer at that time, was invited to create a seven-character quatrain of the same name by Li Bai, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, during the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, many precious peonies were planted in the palace next to Chenxiang Temple in the east of Xingqing Pool. When the flowers bloom, they are purple, light red and all white, and the colors alternate, which is really beautiful. One day, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty rode his beloved white horse shining at night, and Yang Taizhen, that is, Yang Guifei, took a small sedan chair to enjoy flowers together, and at the same time took the most famous musician in the palace at that time, that is, the famous Li Guinian. Li Guinian saw that the emperor and Yang Yuhuan were enjoying flowers with great interest, so he asked his disciples in the pear garden to take out musical instruments and prepare to play music and dance to entertain the emperor and the imperial concubine. However, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty said, "How can you always listen to these old songs when you enjoy flowers and love your concubine?" So I called Li Bai, the academician, to the palace. Li Bai came to the palace. After a little thought, he had an idea. He quickly wrote three "Qing Ping Diao" on Jinhua stationery. Tang Xuanzong was very satisfied with it. Immediately, the disciples of Liyuan played the silk and bamboo, and Li Guinian opened his throat and sang. Yang Guifei picked up the glass Qibao Cup, poured grapes and wine from Xiliangzhou, and enjoyed singing while drinking. His face lit up. Seeing that the popularity of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was getting more and more prosperous, he couldn't help blowing the Jade Emperor himself to entertain him. At the end of each song, he will extend, repeat and enjoy the music. After drinking wine and listening to perfect music, Yang Guifei bowed and thanked Tang Xuanzong. This legendary story from The Biography of Yang Taizhen may contain many exaggerated and fictional elements. But there is no doubt that although there are countless poems describing women around the emperor in history, few of them can be loved by the parties and praised by future generations, and the most famous one is probably Li Bai's "Sanqingpingdiao".
