《長生殿故事》的作者大膽地拋開歷史的許多陳年舊賬,選擇人們很感興趣的一個側(cè)面,通過李隆基與楊玉環(huán)愛情的產(chǎn)生、發(fā)展、變化,生動地反映了那個特定時代的社會矛盾與斗爭。更值得欣賞的是作者對二人愛情賦予純粹神話的浪漫色彩。 The Palace of Eternal Youth is one of the most important classic repertory pieces of Kun Opera. It's about the tragic love story of Tang Emperor Li Longji and his imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan, one of the most inspiring beauties in Chinese history. Their legend conveys the universal value that true love will transcend the boundaries of time and overcome all difficulties. This book, with plain words, intends to help foreign readers understand the story and appreciate classic Chinese opera.
