The Everlasting Regret is a well-known narrative poem from the poet of the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi. The poem is about the tragic love story between the emperor and his concubine from the Tang Dynasty. After the rebellion of An Lushan, Yang Yuhuan was forced to her death by the generals of the Emperor of Tang in Slope Mawei. This incident had put him in sorrow. “I’ve searched through the heavens and the netherworld, yet she couldn’t be found either way.” A king that was obsessive to lust over his country, and a concubine who was elegant and loved. It sounded like a tragedy caused by lust. Yet, is this the moral of The Everlasting Regret story? Is there further definition for this poem?
