However, due to the gift of heaven and no concealment, it was finally elected royal one day. If she just turned her head and smiled, there were a hundred spells, and the powder and paint of six palaces disappeared without a trace.
It was early spring. They let her bathe in a pure pool to warm and smooth her creamy skin. Because she was tired, a maid lifted her up, when the emperor noticed her for the first time and chose her as his bride.
On the night of spring, the warm hibiscus curtains covered her fluttering hair, petals on her cheeks and golden ripples on her head. But the night in spring is short and the sun rises too fast. Since then, the emperor has given up his early hearing.
He wastes all his time on parties and revelry. He is the lover of spring and the tyrant of night. There are other ladies in his court, 3,000 of whom are stunning beauties, but his love for 3,000 is concentrated on one person.
The golden house is dressed up to serve the night. When the table in the jade tower is cleaned, she will wander around and drink wine slowly. Her sisters and brothers were all given titles because she lit up and glorified her family so much.
When a girl is born instead of a boy, she brings happiness to every father and mother in the empire. ... high rose plum palace, into the blue clouds, and the wide breeze carries magical notes.
The emperor's eyes are always staring at her. Until the sound of drums came from Yuyang, which shook the earth and broke the tune of rainbow skirts and feather clothes.
The Forbidden City, a nine-story palace, is hidden in the dust and travels southwest from thousands of chariots and horses. The imperial flag opened the way, suddenly moving and stopping, 30 miles from the capital and passing the west gate.
People in the army stop, and no one will move until they are under their hooves. They may trample on those moths. The gorgeous hairpin fell to the ground, and no one picked it up, a green and white Hosta and a golden hairy bird.
The emperor couldn't save her, so he had to cover his face. Later, when he turned to look, there was blood and tears. Hidden in the yellow dust from the cold wind, they crossed a cloud line at the crack of the steeple path.
Under Emei Mountain. The last few came, and the flags and banners lost their colors in the fading sun. But the water in Shu is always green and the mountains are always blue, so your majesty's love is constant and deeper than the sky.
He stared at the desolate moon from his temporary palace, and he heard the rain at dusk, cutting his chest. Heaven and earth in last contact, the dragon car comes home, and the emperor never leaves.
The memory and pain are buried in the soil of Maweipo. Where is her white face? . Rulers and lords, when their eyes met, cried on their coats. They rode horses, loosened the reins and slowly returned to the capital.
Pond, garden, palace, everything is the same as before, Taiye Lake hibiscus, Weiyang Palace willow. But the petals are like her face, and the willow leaves are like her eyebrows. Whenever he looks at them, what can he do but cry? .
Peach and plum trees are in bloom. In the spring wind, after the autumn rain, the leaves fall to the ground. The palaces in the west and south are scattered with evening grass, and the steps are piled with red leaves that are not swept.
Bai Faxin, a disciple of Liyuan, and the moth old lady in Jiao Fang. Fireflies were flying on the throne, and he was meditating in the twilight. , he will extend the wick to its end and still never fall asleep. ..
Bells and drums will slowly ring the long night, and before dawn, the Milky Way in the sky will become clear. And the porcelain mandarin ducks on the roof grow thick morning frost, and the jade is cold, so who and who * * *.
The distance between life and death is year after year, but no beloved soul has visited his dream. There lived a Taoist priest in Lingqiong. He was a guest in the sky and could summon the gods through his concentration.
People were moved by the emperor's constant meditation, and they begged the Taoist priest to see if he could find her. He opened a path in space, like lightning, cut through the sky, up and down, looking for it everywhere.
Above, he looked for the green void, below, the yellow spring, but he didn't find the one he was looking for in two places. Then he heard a story about a magical island at sea, which is part of the invisible world.
There are pavilions in the five-color sky, and exquisite immortals walk back and forth. And one of them, they call it forever true, has a face like her snow and flowers.
So he went to the golden gate of the West Hall, knocked on the Jasper Gate, and asked a girl named Small jade to tell Shuang Perfect. This lady, after hearing the news of Emperor China's envoy, woke up from her dream in her canopy.
She pushed open the pillow, got dressed, shook off her drowsiness, opened the pearly curtain, and then opened the silver screen. Ji Yun is half asleep, and her flowered hat is loose when she walks along the balcony.
The wind blew the fairy's robe, as if she were dancing in a rainbow skirt and feather coat. Tears rolled down her sad and pale face, just like the spring rain on pear flowers.
But when she asked him to thank her monarch, her eyes shone with love. Since they separated, her form and voice were unfamiliar to her. Because happiness ends in the courtyard of the sun, the moon and dawn become long in the palace of Xianshan.
But when she turned to look down at the earth and tried to see the capital, there was only fog and dust. He expressed his love for the old man and sent him back a shell box and gold hairpin through his special envoy.
However, one branch of the hairpin and one side of the box were kept, and the gold of the hairpin and the shell of the box were broken. "Our souls belong to each other," she said, "just like this gold and this shell." Somewhere, at some time, on earth or in heaven, we will be together.
She sent him a message through his messenger, reminding him that only the hearts of the two of them knew the oath. On the seventh day of July, in the Palace of Eternal Life, we secretly told each other in the quiet midnight world.
We hope to fly in heaven, two birds become one, grow on the earth, two branches of a tree ... the earth lasts forever, and the sky lasts forever; One day both will end, and this endless sadness will last forever.

Bai Juyi
background
This poem was written in the first year of Yuanhe in Tang Xianzong (AD 806). The author was 35 years old and served as a county magistrate in Zhouzhi. As for the origin of this poem, according to Chen Hong, a good friend of Bai Juyi, he and Bai Juyi and Wang Zhifu visited the temple in October of the first year of Yuanhe. Occasionally speaking of this tragic story of Tang and Yang Guifei, everyone lamented. So Wang Zhifu asked Bai Juyi to write a long poem and Chen Hong to write a biography. The two complement each other and are used by future generations. Because the last two sentences of the long poem are "the earth lasts forever, and the sky lasts forever;" One day, both will end, and this endless sadness will go on forever. They called this poem "The Song of Eternal Sorrow" and that poem "The Song of Eternal Sorrow". At that time, prostitutes in Chang 'an boasted that "I recited Bai Xueshi's Song of Eternal Sorrow" and their value doubled.

Emperor Han valued the beauty of the whole country and was determined to find a peerless beauty. Unfortunately, I haven't found it for many years. There is a girl in the Yang family who has just grown up. No one has ever seen her face in the boudoir. Natural beauty can not be buried, and finally was chosen to be with the emperor. She turned to smile and showed all kinds of charm at the same time. The pink, white and green in the sixth house all faded at once. It's cold in spring, giving Huaqing Pool a bath, and the hot springs are slippery, washing her skin like condensed oil. The maid helped her out of the bath. She was lazy and weak. At this time, the first grace came. Flowers generally look like clouds, and jinbu shakes his head and shivers. Beautiful spring night, spring night is too short! How high was the sun before I opened my eyes, and I never got up early to meet the ministers again. Chasing happiness and serving banquets, she always revolves around the emperor. After the spring outing, it is spring, and the night is her exclusive. There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and the love of 3,000 people is concentrated on her. At night in the palace, she dressed up to serve the holy king. I got drunk with her at Lou Yu's party. My sisters and brothers have all been appointed government officials, so I envy them. A family is full of glory. Calling the world a parent's heart, I think it is better to have a boy than a girl.
The Summer Palace is high in the sky. Yue Xian is floating in the palace and can be heard all over the world. The ladies-in-waiting danced slowly, played the piano slowly and played the flute slowly. The emperor can't get enough of it all day. Who knows that the drums of Yu Yang's rebellion will knock the earth-shattering, and the colorful feathers will be shocked! Smoke and dust appeared in the imperial capital, and thousands of horses fled to the southwest. I've just walked a hundred miles, and I'm standing while walking. What can we do if the Sixth Army refuses to advance? Butterfly beauty died in front of the emperor's horseshoe. Her buds were thrown on the ground and nobody picked them up, as well as the jade on her head, her goldfinch and her bald head. The emperor hid his face and tried to save face. In retrospect, tears and blood flowed together. When the plank road is inserted into the clouds, it twists and turns on the Jiange, and the wind blows yellow dust, which is particularly bleak. There are not many pedestrians on Emei Road, and the sky has lost the luster of colorful flags. The sunshine is so thin. The river in Shuhe is so green, and the mountain in Shuhe is so green. It is difficult for the emperor to miss his feelings day and night. Looking at the moonlight in the palace is sad, and listening to the rain ringing at night is also heartbroken.
Finally, one day, I returned to Beijing and came here-reluctant to leave. There is no land where beauty died in vain among the soil under Mawei slope. The monarch and his subjects looked at each other, their skirts shed tears, they looked east, and they believed that the horse would return to Beijing by reins. Come back to see the palace garden, the hibiscus in Taiye Pool and the willow in Weiyang Palace, which are still charming. Hibiscus flowers are more like her face, and willow leaves are more like her eyebrows. How can you not cry when you see a willow? Why can't you feel it? On the day when the spring breeze blows peach blossoms and plum blossoms, on the day when the autumn rain hits the plane leaves! The emperor's father lives in the west palace in the south, and the autumn grass is long and idle, and the leaves are not swept. At that time, the director of the pepper room was old, and the disciples in the pear garden had white hair on their heads. At night, fireflies flew over the palace, and the emperor's father quietly remembered. I can't sleep when I pick up the lonely lamp at night, only listening to the bells and drums in the palace ring slowly. The night is so long, look at the Milky Way still shining in the sky. It's almost dawn, not yet! The frost is so heavy, the Yuanyang tile above the house is so cold, and the jade is also cold. Who can unite? You're dead, I'm still alive. For a long time, I have never seen your soul enter my dream.
There is a Taoist priest who practices in Lin Qiong. He can sincerely invite the dead. What can be moved is the deep affection of the emperor tossing and turning, which makes the alchemist tirelessly look for her. He flew like lightning for nine days, and then went down to the underworld, but he didn't see her. Suddenly I heard that there is a fairy mountain on the sea, in nothingness. Fairy mountain pavilions are as exquisite as colorful clouds, and there are many wonderful fairies. One of them is too real, with snow-like skin and fancy appearance, which sounds like the person he is looking for. When the alchemist arrived at the Fairy Palace, he knocked on the door of the West Chamber, and it was Sister-in-law Xiaoyu and Dong Shuangcheng who reported the news. When she heard that the Korean family sent envoys, she couldn't help but interrupt her dream at the fairy home Jiuhua account. Push the pillow, put on your coat and get out of bed. The screen and bead curtain are opened in turn. I saw that the bun on her head was half off. Before Carola could adjust it, she woke up and walked down the hall. The wind made her fairy dress fluttering and dancing, just like her dress and feather dance. Jade makes loneliness drop a pair of tears, like a pear flower with rain in spring. She thanked the king emotionally: since "Where are you going" is difficult to meet, there is no news. The love in Zhaoyang Temple has been cut off since then, and the sun and moon in Penglai Palace are so long! Looking down on the world, you can only see clouds, but you can't see Chang 'an. I can only show my affection for the old things and bring back two things, a gold hairpin and a box. One gold hairpin, one cymbal box, half of our family. As long as our hearts are as strong as gold and silver, we can always meet each other, although we are far away from heaven and earth! When I leave, there is another word that is very important. Only he and I know this oath. On the seventh day of July, there was no one in the Palace of Eternal Life, and we talked quietly: in the sky, we would like to be lovebirds forever, and on the ground, we would like to take water as the graft. It will come to an end one day, and this hatred will never be eliminated.
