PrefaceOn seventh day of seventh moon when none was near,At midnight in Long-life Hall he whispered in her ear：On high we would be two birds flying wing to wing;On earth two trees with branches twined from spring to spring.Such is the love story of Emperor Xuan Zong of the Tang Dynasty and his favorite Lady Yang, as told by Bai Juyi in his Song of Everlasting Regret. Such is also the theme of the tragedy of Love in Long-life Hall written by Hong Sheng of Qing dynasty. The emperors love for his Lady which ends in the armys revolt and in her tragic death is considered as a turning point of Tang dynastys decline and fall. Since olden days the rise and fall of dynasties hinge more or less on the fate of a beauty. It is true not only in the East but also in the West; for instance, the fate of Roman Empire might have been altered by the life or death of the Queen of Egypt. As Pascal said, if the nose of Cleopatra, Egyptian Queen, had been an inch longer, the history of Roman Empire might have been rewritten, for if she were not so bewitching, the Roman General might not have fallen in love with her and lost the empire.Cleopatra was hundreds of years earlier than Lady Yang of the Tang dynasty. Her contemporary was Lady Li, favorite of the Martial Emperor of the Han dynasty, whose beauty is glorified in the following poem：There is a beauty in the northern lands,Unequalled, high above the world she stands.At her first glance, soldiers would lose their town;At her second, the monarch would lose his crown.How could monarch and soldiers neglect their duty?For crown and town are overshadowed by her beauty.But the Martial Emperor did not neglect his duty. Instead, he sacrificed the beauty for his empire, and after her death he wrote an elegy, in which he said how lonely and dreary he felt on seeing her robe without finding her person, and on walking along the marble steps without seeing her foot print. Even when he found a fallen leaf on the threshold of her bedroom deserted and empty, he would think it transformed by her soul unwilling to tear herself away from her former abode. Her bedroom, her silk robe, the marble steps belong to the external world, while the emperors grief and loneliness to his internal world. Here we see the external world is described to reveal the internal world. In other words, scenic expressions are used as lyric expressions. Such is the method used in poetry.In the Book of Poetry compiled in the 5th Century B. C., poetry may be divided into three kinds： songs, odes including feastal and epical odes and hymns. As for the art of versification, three methods are used, that is, narration, comparison and association. This tradition has been inherited and developed, in scenical as well as lyrical expressions. For instance, we may read Li Bais description of the beauty of Lady Yang：Her face is seen in flowers and her dress in cloud,A beauty by the rails caressed by vernal breeze.If not a fairy queen from Jade Mountain proud,Shes Goddess of the Moon in crystal hall one sees.In the first two lines we see the poet compares the lady to a flower, and in the second she is associated with a fairy queen and the Moon Goddess. That is to say, comparison and association are used. In Bai Juyis Song of Everlasting Regret, we find verses describing Lady Yang：Turning her head, she smiled so sweet and full of grace That she outshone in six palaces the fairest face.In the first line narration is used, while in the second the lady is compared with or contrasted against the fairest face to emphasize her beauty.序七月七日长生殿，夜半无人私语时：在天愿作比翼鸟，在地愿为连理枝。这是唐代白居易《长恨歌》中写唐明皇和杨贵妃海誓山盟的名句。唐皇和杨妃轻歌曼舞、生离死别的爱情故事，在中国流传了一千多年，最著名的剧本是这部清代洪升著的《长生殿》。林语堂认为洪升的生花妙笔才能使此恨绵绵，天长地久。陈寅恪却认为唐皇对杨妃的爱情，朝欢暮乐，从此君王不早朝，是中国黄金时代由盛转衰的关键，因为玉颜自古关兴废。不但中国如此，西方也有例证，法国哲学家巴斯加就说过：埃及女王克柳葩的鼻子假如高了一公分，世界历史就要改写，因为假如她不是那么美艳，古罗马的凯撒大帝就不会坠入爱河，大将安东尼也不会不爱江山爱美人，那西方的古代史就要重写了。埃及女王克柳葩比杨贵妃要早几百年，和克柳葩同时的中国美人有汉武帝的李夫人，她的哥哥李延年为她写了一首诗：北方有佳人，绝世而独立。一顾倾人城，再顾倾人国。宁不知倾城与倾国？佳人难再得。但汉武帝并没有像罗马大将那样让美人倾国倾城，而是为了江山牺牲了美人。但是在她死后，他却写了一首哀悼她的《落叶哀蝉曲》：罗袂兮无声，玉墀兮尘生。虚房冷而寂寞，落叶依于重扃。望彼美之女兮安得？感余心之未宁。汉武帝思念李夫人，看见她穿过的罗衣，却听不到她穿衣的窸窣之声；看见她走过的台阶，却盖满了尘埃，看不到她的脚印；卧房里空荡荡的，身体感到寒冷，心里觉得寂寞，看到门槛上一片孤零零的落叶，仿佛是李夫人的幽灵，依依不舍地留恋着寝宫的房门。这首诗没有描写李夫人的外形，只写看到的、听到的、感到的环境，用景语来写情，再通过武帝之情来想象李夫人之美，这是一种通过外部世界来写内心世界，又通过内心世界来想象外部世界的写法。关于杨贵妃的描写，中国古诗也用景语来作情语，这在《诗经》中叫做比兴之法。如李白著名的《清平调》：云想衣裳花想容，春风拂槛露华浓。若非群玉山头见，会向瑶台月下逢。就是先把杨妃比作花，又把她比作月中仙子的。但在白居易的《长恨歌》中，却是先用一个特写镜头：回头一笑百媚生，再用反比来作衬托：六宫粉黛无颜色。到了洪升的《长生殿》，描写就更含蓄细致：看了这粉容嫩，只怕风儿弹破。袅临风百种娇娆，还对镜千般婀娜。这是含蓄地把杨妃比作临风玉树，显示了深厚的文化底蕴。
