(E-book) Beauties of the Tang Palace

The days grow cool, autumn waters fill the cities. Chang'an and Luoyang, once the Western Capital and the Divine Capital, have shed their glamorous past and become ordinary cities today. They are brimming with trendy modern culture. People occasionally discuss the comings and goings of ancient figures, yet they can no longer feel the splendor of the Tang dynasty. However, that vanished elegance has not truly disappeared.

If those stunning beauties whose names are etched in history still have spirits, they would surely return to their native land, reborn in a corner of the vast sea of humanity.

At some unexpected moment, they encounter the corridors and verandas where they once leaned while reading in a previous life, the mottled bamboos stained by their tears, the palace lanterns from which they trimmed the wicks, and the stone steps brushed by their silk shoes. Then, distant memories unexpectedly reawaken. They would understand why modern people so admire the Tang dynasty, which is so difficult to rebuild. It turns out that everyone might have been you, me, or him, passing by in those days.
