Yuan Mei
Don't sing the song of everlasting regret, the world also has its own galaxy.
In Shihao Village, the husband and wife say goodbye and shed more tears than in the Palace of Eternal Life.

The story of sadness and joy between Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Yuhuan, the imperial concubine, has aroused many literati's poetic thinking. Bai Juyi's famous Song of Eternal Sorrow not only reveals the political tragedy caused by Tang Xuanzong's love for Yang Guifei, but also expresses sympathy for their love tragedy. But Yuan Mei's poems are unconventional and innovative. He put the love tragedy of Li and Yang in the tragic experience of civilians, emphasizing that the suffering of civilians is far from comparable to that of imperial concubine. Song of Eternal Sorrow and Li Shihao are both well-known poems, and their creation background is the Anshi Rebellion. On the one hand, they take the life of the emperor as the theme, on the other hand, they take the experience of the people as the theme, which just constitutes a sharp contrast.
