Chinese Valentine's Day is a traditional festival to express peoples' love for each other. In China, there are many touching love stories that have been passed down for thousands of years, and tourist attractions to see associated with them.
Song of Everlasting Regret is a long poem by Bai Juyi (772-846), depicting the romance between Emperor Tang Xuanzong (685-762) and his beloved concubine Yang Yuhuan (719-756).
Yang Yuhuan, one of the four beauties in ancient China, first married the son of Emperor Xuanzong and somehow came into Xuanzong’s favor and became his consort. Emperor Xuanzhong was indulged in the beauty of Yang Yuhuan that he ignored the state affairs and finally led to An’s rebellion in 755. Yang Yuhuan was blamed for the rebellion and forced to hang herself by the Emperor’s disgruntled officers and soldiers. Tang Xuanzong was so grieved that he later abdicated the crown and passed on his leadership to his son.
