"When the world of mortals rides a princess and laughs, no one knows it's litchi" means that when riding a princess in the sky, smoke billows and when the princess smiles, no one knows that the south has sent litchi fresh fruit.
Source: Du Mu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, wrote three quatrains about crossing the Qing Palace.
This poem lashed out at the extravagant life of Xuanzong and Yang Guifei through the typical event of sending litchi, and its artistic effect was subtle, exquisite and well-known.
The first sentence describes the scenery of Mount Li where Huaqing Palace is located. The poet writes from the perspective of "looking back" in Chang 'an, just like a film photographer. First, he shows a broad and far-reaching panorama of Mount Li in front of the audience: lush trees, lush flowers and plants, palaces and castles stand among them, just like a beautiful group. "Embroidered Pile" not only refers to the East Embroidered Ridge and the West Embroidered Ridge on both sides of Mount Li, but also describes the beauty of Mount Li.
Yang Yuhuan was born in an official family at the beginning of June in the seventh year of Kaiyuan (7 19). His great grandfather, Wang Yang, was a minister of the Sui Dynasty and was killed by Li Shimin in the early Tang Dynasty. Father Yang Xuanyan was a manager in Zhou Shu; Uncle Yun, originally from Cao, Henan, spent his childhood.
In the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan, Yang Yuhuan, who was about 10 years old, was fostered in his uncle Hsuan Yang's home. ?
Yang Yuhuan's natural beauty and superior educational environment make her have a certain cultural accomplishment, graceful personality, proficient in temperament, good at singing and dancing, and good at playing the pipa. In Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow, there is such a description: God-given grace, undisguised, was finally elected to the royal family one day.
In July of the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Princess Xianyi, the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, held a wedding in Luoyang, and Yang Yuhuan was also invited to attend. Li Mao, the younger brother of Princess Xianyi, fell in love with Yang Yuhuan at first sight. At the request of Wu Huifei, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wrote a letter asking her to be the shroud princess of that year. After the marriage, the two were very loving.
Wu Huifei died in the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737). Li Mao's mother, Wu Huifei, was the favorite concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and she was treated as a queen in the palace. Xuanzong was unhappy for this. At that time, the harem Qian Qian was absolutely meaningless. Some people suggested that "the courtyards should be full of manners", and Xuanzong called Yang into the harem.
In October of the 28th year of Kaiyuan (740), in the name of Dou Taihou, the mother of Xuanzong, Yang wrote to become a monk? The number of roads is too real.
In the fourth year of Tianbao (745), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty made Wei's daughter longevity a princess, and then became a noble lady. Since Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty abolished the king and queen, Yang Guifei is equivalent to the queen.
