Pucheng Imperial Tombs – Tailing Tomb (continued)

Thread Content

——Thoughts while strolling in Tailing Tomb: Walking along paths filled with a gentle breeze, observing the prosperity along the roads, seeing willow fluff in the wind, in search of a masterpiece that has endured through the ages. The green tombs lie in silence, with magpies flying around them; the melody of \"Rainbow Skirts and Feathered Robes\" can no longer be heard, nor are those who once belonged to the theater troupe to be seen. What lies behind them is truly desolate! Once again, I’m transported back to the Tang Dynasty… That year, with pear blossoms and light rain, melodies of celestial music filled the Huaqing Palace, as dancers moved gracefully. Dressed in red, she captivated the entire palace; the king was fascinated, and the beauty was intoxicated—love began to blossom secretly! Cut a lock of black hair – it represents three lifetimes of wishes; write a line that symbolizes being together side by side – it brings joy for one lifetime. I travel thousands of miles just for a smile from her, ignoring what the world thinks. The drums of Yuyang disrupt the melody of Ni Shang; outside the imperial palace, thousands of soldiers raise dust in the air. Though orders are given, the troops refuse to move. Holding hands, we look at each other in silence, tears staining our faces; beauty and the land – which should one choose? The beauty parted her red lips gently: To have you in this life is enough; how could I risk losing the kingdom for your sake! The beautiful woman is resolute, free from love and fear; a three-foot length of white silk, with petals falling like rain… A history spanning a thousand years – no matter how thoroughly historians record it, how can they truly capture the depth of this profound affection? A smile from a thousand years ago – he determined her fate, and she became his forever! Heaven and earth endure forever; let this love be passed down!
