From: Song of Eternal Sorrow, a long narrative poem by Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi, the original text is as follows:
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 narrative about the magical island at sea, and the mountains were in nothingness. 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.
Translation:
Ascension to heaven and looking for heaven and hell everywhere have no result. I suddenly heard that there is a fairy mountain surrounded by white clouds on the sea. Exquisite buildings and pavilions are supported by colorful clouds. There are countless fairies, all of which are graceful. One of the characters is too real, and her skin looks like snow, which seems to be the Yang Guifei that the king is looking for.
Write a Taoist priest to help Tang Xuanzong find Yang Guifei. Poets use romantic methods, from heaven to earth. Later, Yang Guifei was found on the ethereal fairy mountain at sea. She sent a message with deep affection and keepsake, reiterated her previous vows, took care of Tang Xuanzong's thoughts on her, and further deepened and rendered the theme of "Song of Eternal Sorrow".
