It's mid-spring, the grass in the water has just emerged, and the yellow orioles between the willow trees are chirping freely. The water's edge on the outskirts of Luoyang is full of pear blossoms, pear blossoms bloom like snow, fall like snow, and fall flowers stay on the lawn like blankets.

Liu Fangping himself is very happy, he has a wife and three sons, it is a harmonious life, or more able to make him understand the sorrows of women. The court of the Tang Dynasty had a large number of palace women, trapped in the palace for life, and the prosperity of the empire was not related to them.

Pear blossoms have a kind of quiet beauty. This pear blossom writes the quiet of the pear blossom, the kind of brilliant quiet, like the moonlight.
The kind of pear blossom that blooms in the cold season of mid-spring and spring has a cold fragrance.
Compared with the pear blossoms, the brilliance of the peach blossoms is a little bit less beautiful and gorgeous.
Even if the peach blossom is beautiful, it is not as quiet and fresh as the pear blossom.
In the Tang Dynasty, such as the Han system, the royal orchard, of which the pear garden was used for the Shangwei Festival, where the pear blossoms were in full bloom, there were forests and water, and the royal polo was more concentrated in this period. In the tang xuanzong period, this was a place dedicated to cultivating royal musical talents, and three hundred disciples were selected to sit in the pear garden. Tang Xuanzong personally instructed the professor, and the musical talents who came out here were called the Royal Pear Garden Disciples.
Later generations called the opera industry a pear garden.

This is a song and dance written in the heyday of The Pear Garden, in the West Hall of the Pear Garden, playing the music of the Western Regions, hundreds of Pear Garden disciples, singing Liangzhou words, with the scenery of the border plugs and the protection of the country as the theme.
When it came to the time of the high-rise moon, the voice was high-pitched and majestic, and Tang Xuanzong was also excited.
Then there is also a background here, that is, this is a pear garden, and the pear blossoms are beautiful in the moonlight.
The song swirls in the moonlight, above the pear blossoms, with the pear blossoms, there is also the beauty of the extremely magnificent background, is this not another similarity of the border snow, stuffed with the moon? Thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom, and a Song of Liangzhou song enters the clouds.

After three years, I left my homeland, and it was the time when the pear blossoms in the mountains were in full bloom.
Although the poem is written about tang pear, the blossoms of tang pear and pear blossom are similar, and both belong to the pear genus. Between the ancient tombs of the barren mountains, countless wild tang pear trees bloom, which makes it seem that this place is quiet and desolate.
The wind blows down the snow-white petals of tang pears, floating above the ancient tombs and spring grass, and time and space suddenly become distant and eternal.
The white of the tang pear blossom is taken care of to the bottom of the heart, and there is a kind of sadness, and he has another famous sentence: "The tang pear blossom reflects the poplar tree, and it is all dead and alive and far away." “
Some people say that Bai Juyi's tang pear is not a pear blossom.
