In the movie "The Legend of the Demon Cat", a court banquet called "Feast of Bliss" was created, which was almost a historical condensation of the eve of the "Anshi Rebellion".
In fact, the background of the "Feast of Bliss" in the movie comes from a real royal banquet in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Mao's "Song Window Miscellaneous" has a detailed record:
During the Kaiyuan period, the imperial palace called the peony peony, and the palace cultivated red, purple, light red, and white colors, and Xuanzong had these peonies transplanted in front of the Shen Xiang Pavilion (Shen Tong Shen) in the east of the Pond of Xingqing Palace. Just in time for the peonies to bloom and flowers to bloom, Xuanzong rode the imperial horse, and Yang Guifei took a step to Shen Xiangting to admire the flowers. Emperor Xuanzong selected sixteen outstanding artists from among the disciples of Liyuan to perform, led by Li Guinian, the most expensive artist among the Tang Dynasty artists.
It was also this banquet that allowed Li Bai to write three pieces of "Qingping Music Words". The first song: "The cloud wants to dress and flowers, and the spring breeze blows Revlon." If it were not for the jade mountain head, it would meet the Yaotai Moon. The second song: "A branch of red dew condenses incense, and the cloud and rain Wushan break the intestine." Borrow the Han Palace who is like that? Poor Fei Yan leaned on the new outfit. The third song: "The famous flowers pour out of the country and the two are happy, and the king looks at it with a smile." Explaining the infinite hatred of the spring wind, Shen Xiangting leaned north on the railing. Among them, the sentence "Yun wants to dress and flowers and think of appearance" has been passed down through the ages and has become a famous sentence to describe the beautiful appearance of women in later generations.
After Li Bai finished writing, Xuanzong liked it very much, and asked the disciples of Liyuan to adjust the tone of the bamboo and let Li Guinian sing. Yang Guifei held a Pear (glass) Seven Treasures Cup, tasted Xiliang wine, and indulged in it. And Xuanzong personally played the jade flute and the song, and after that, Li Guinian often lamented this banquet when talking to people about this matter.
