What is the content of the Song of Everlasting Sorrow performance?

Answer 1

The performance of Song of Everlasting Sorrow was based on Bai Juyi's long narrative poem. It presented the love story of Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang in four levels and eleven scenes, including "mutual love","pampering and coquettish","parting in life and death", and "reunion in fairyland".

The prologue was " A Young Woman of the Yang Family ". A lotus flower bloomed on the Nine Dragon Lake, and Yang Yuhuan danced in the flower with a long veil draped over her shoulders. In the first act," A Dynasty Chosen to the King's Side ", the naturally beautiful Yang Yuhuan was summoned into the palace. Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty gave her a gold hairpin and box as a token of love. The Golden Hall held a coronation ceremony, and the courtiers congratulated her and performed singing and dancing. In the second act," When No One Whispers in the Midnight," on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and the Imperial Concubine looked up at the Milky Way, shared their heartfelt feelings, burned incense, and swore an oath of alliance. They danced in the moonlight, in the water, and in the forest to express their love. In the third scene," Bathing in the Huaqing Pool in the Cold Spring," Yang Guifei was bathed in a silk robe and chiffon surrounded by palace maids, forming a scene of " bathing in the hot spring." In the fourth act," Entering the Blue Clouds from the High Place of the Li Palace," An Lushan performed the Huteng Dance when he met Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and Imperial Concubine Yang. The Imperial Concubine led the dancers to perform the Huxuan Dance, disturbing the slow song and dance of the Feather Coat. Emperor Ming rushed to the middle to show his imperial dignity. In the fifth act,"The banquet in the Jade Tower ends, and the spring is drunk", Yang Guifei is enjoying the banquet, drunk and unrestrained. In the sixth act," Fairy Music is Everywhere ", in the pear garden at the foot of Mount Li, the imperial concubine led her disciples to dance among the hibiscus flowers. Emperor Ming of Tang was intoxicated by it. In Act 7," Yuyang Brows Agitated ", An Lushan rebelled, Tongguan fell, the capital was in an emergency, the flames of war raged, the palace servants fled, Emperor Ming's hibiscus tent was burned, and the dream of the Son of Heaven was shattered. In the eighth act," Mother-of-pearl fell to the ground and no one collected it." Emperor Ming of Tang fled west to Mawei Slope. The soldiers rebelled and forced him to kill Yang Guifei. Yang Guifei died tragically under the pale moonlight, and the desolate song echoed in the mountains. In the ninth act," Meeting in Heaven and Earth," Emperor Ming of Tang's soul came out of his shell and met Yang Yuhuan in the Moon Palace. The two looked at each other with tears in their eyes. The fairy danced with colorful silk in her hand, expressing her beautiful wishes of " being a pair of lovebirds in heaven and a pair of branches on earth."
