Xian: Song of Everlasting Regret


Composed by the famous poet of Tang Dynasty (618-907) Bai Juyi in the year 806, the Song of Everlasting Regret (or Sorrow) depicts the events surrounding the death of the lady Yang Guifei (the beloved concubine of the Emperor Xuanzong of Tang) during the Anshi Rebellion in 755. Nowadays, the two famous lines of “ On earth, we vow to be as two intertwined branches of a tree, Even the heaven and earth has their ending times” are usually used to describe the everlasting love of lovers.”

In recent years, the story was recomposed into a live historical dancing performance and is performed in Huaqing Pool, which attracts numerous tourists. With the Mountain Li as the background, the story is vividly displayed by the professional dancers under the help of the advanced stage technology. The show gives the audience a full play of the real deep love story happened between Yang Guifei(Concubine Yang) and Tang Xuanzong. Last year, I went there especially for the show during my Xian tour. I have to say—it is really spectacular and worthy watching very much.

This Beijing Xian tour made me became interested in Chinese history. No more word, please keep up with my lens ans step close to the live show.
