"The Song of Colorful Feather Clothes".
According to legend, Li Longji once dreamed that when he was visiting the Moon Palace, he heard fairy music playing in the sky and fairies wearing colorful feathers dancing gracefully. The songs of the fairies are mysterious and beautiful, and the dancing fairies are graceful. After Li Longji woke up, he still remembered the scene in his dream clearly.
I really want to record the music in my dream, let the musicians play it, and let the singers dance. He kept thinking and thinking and writing down something when he remembered it. Even when he went to court during the day, he still had a jade flute in his arms. While listening to the minister read the memorial, he secretly played the jade flute below. He was playing the flute and looking for tunes. He was fascinated by the fairy music, but he still couldn't compose the complete tune. Very distressed.
Once, Li Longji came to Sanxiangyi. He looked towards Nuji Mountain in the distance. The mountains were undulating and smoke was lingering. Suddenly many beautiful fantasies arose. He recalled all the celestial music he had heard in his dream. Record it on the score immediately. He composed a palace opera suitable for playing in the palace.
Li Longji ordered the musicians to rehearse "The Song of Feather Clothes", and his concubine Yang Yuhuan designed the dance. In order to give them a good place to rehearse, Li Longji established a pear garden in the palace (later generally referred to as opera singing) place).
Yang Yuhuan and the palace people rushed to arrange the ceremony day and night. Finally, I finished practicing a large-scale song and dance "The Song of Colorful Feather Clothes" and performed it at a grand festival.
The delicate and beautiful fairy music of "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes" played, and Yang Yuhuan led the palace maids to sing and dance, one by one like fairies descending to earth, and the eyes of the officials were all fixed. But Yang Yuhuan's dance skirt was stepped on by Mei Fei, causing the whole dance to fail.
