Price: 100-500 yuan
Hong Sheng (1645-1704), a famous litterateur and dramatist in the Qing Dynasty, is the writer of the drama The Palace of Eternal Youth, which took over ten years to create based on the Tang Dynasty (618-907) poem Everlasting Regret and Zaju of Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) Raindrops on the Phoenix Tree. The draft was revised three times before its completion. Hong Sheng depicted pure love between Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty Li Longji and the consort Yang Yuhuan in a context of the historical event "Anshi Rebellion" and the Tang Dynasty's downfall from the pinnacle of its power. With a wild imagination, he made the characters travel throughout the world, hell and heaven at will, and talk with one another sincerely, be they humans, ghosts or immortals.
