    Liu Haohao's audition was chosen in the northwest corner of the Shuai Mansion's back garden, on a rockery near the bank of the bright blue Minjiang River.  On the mountain, Wang Sichang built a multi-storey pavilion, which was specially used by the general to enjoy the moon and listen to music.

    This pavilion leaning high into the clouds is just suitable for the flying of beautiful songs.  For this audition, Wang Sichang also invited many distinguished guests and spread out a banquet It can be seen that the Grand Marshal attaches great importance to this matter.

    [1] "Good Poems. Part One" [1] Du Mu. Poems

    The king is Yuzhang Shu, only thirteen is more than enough;

    Cuizhuo phoenix has a tail, and Danyelian has a tarsus.

    ?The tall pavilion leans against the sky for half a day, and the Qingjiang River is connected with Bixu;

    Try the king's singing here, and envoy Hua Yanpu.

    The dinner kicked off at the moment of lighting up.

    After a few pieces of graceful dance music as the opening, Liu Haohao's audition began.

    I saw Liu Haohao wearing an emerald green dress, curling up like a phoenix bird with bright tail feathers fluttering; her little red face is more like a crabapple flower swaying in the spring breeze, ready to bloom  .

    [2] "A Good Poem. Part 2" Poem by Du Mu

    The lord looked at the four seats and hesitated in surprise;

    Wu Wa raised her praises and lingered low to reflect her long train.

    The double servant girls can compete with each other, and only pass Qingluoru;

    Panpan hangs down his sleeves, and a young phoenix calls.

    Liu Haohao shyly stepped onto the stage under the guidance of a beautiful little male prostitute named Wu Wa[2].  She is like the crescent moon guarded by the stars, the moment she appeared, she illuminated the "Huayan" of the "high pavilion" a lot

    Wang Sichang looked around, and all the distinguished guests present were surprised by the little girl's delicate demeanor and lost their normalcy.

    Liu Haohao bowed his head and remained silent, fiddling with the long skirt on his chest with both hands; a pair of hairpins were of appropriate height, and the strands of hair were braided just over the blue silk outer jacket.  Her image of an infinitely soft and shy little loli has conquered the hearts of the audience, young and old

    Just after the shock, a soul-stirring flute sounded melodiously; countless delicate and beautiful petals fell from the sky and flew between the stages, and the refreshing floral fragrance made people intoxicated;  If the blooming buds slowly spread out to the surrounding.

    In the sky full of flowers and rain, Liu Haohao stood in the center of the stage like a secluded orchid in an empty valley. When she dropped her sleeve like Guan Panpan, a famous courtesan in Tang Dynasty[3], the banquet was filled with a clear, round and beautiful song like a little phoenix.  singing¡ª¡ª

    [3] "Rolling Bead Curtain. Returning to the Goose Passage" Li Shu/luna/Liu Huan. Lyrics Huo Zun. Song Xu Xiaoqing. Song

    [Song] "Engrave every eyebrow and heart, and think through the painting. It is stained, the ink is flowing, the thousands of family texts are yellowed, the night is quiet, and the window screen is slightly bright."

    Following Liu Haohao's light, beautiful, erratic dancing posture, the wide sleeves are opened and closed to hide her charming shyness.

    [Song] "Dancing with the sleeves is charming in the dream, lovesickness spreads over the heart. Still nostalgic, pear blossom tears, static painting red makeup waiting for who will return? Empty leave Iraqis, slowly haggard."

    The dignitaries and literati present here stared at the center of the stage with fascination, and almost forgot to breathe.

    Liu Haohao's beautiful eyes looked forward, making everyone's heart beat wildly, thinking in unison - she is looking at me

    [Song] "Ah! The smell of rouge, who is the beaded curtain for? Ah! The mist fades in Gaoxuan, the moon is bright at night, and the sleeves cover the darkness and weep."

    The sound of the drums vibrated, and the sound of the pipa became more and more urgent.

    Liu Haohao's figure is also dancing faster and faster, and her skirt is flying; her jade-like hands are like fat and catkins, lingering gracefully;

    The people on the stage are like flowers separated from the fog, dim and misty, flickering with colorful colors, but so far away

    [Song] "Ah! The smell of rouge, who is the beaded curtain for? Ah~! The mist fades in Gaoxuan, the moon is bright at night, and the sleeves cover the darkness and weep.

    The drizzle is crisp and moist, seeing the green poplars outside the smoke, tired of worrying about the spring injury.  Residual candles melt, the morning breeze is cool, where the geese pass by, the sound is melancholy, whoever plays the piano in the sky and water will break the heart"

    In the sky, a round of spring moon opened the palace mirror.

    Under the moon, Liu Haohao sometimes raised his wrists and lowered his eyebrows, and sometimes relaxed his hands.  Her ethereal singing echoed for a long time in the sky above the hall

    [4] "A Good Poem. Part Three" Du Mu. Poem

    Complex strings break through the button, and the plug tube cracks the round reed;

    The voices of the masses cannot be chased, and they curl up through the clouds.

    The lord sighed again and again, saying that the world is different;

    A gift of Tianma brocade, paired with a water rhinoceros comb.

    This clear and ethereal singing made the accompaniment instruments feel unsustainable, so that the strings of the piano were about to burst from the buttons, and the reed pipes were about to burst.  And Liu Haohao's curvaceous singing rhyme, but suppressedAfter passing the "All Voices", it penetrated the high pavilion and went straight to the sky.

    Wang Sichang couldn't help sighing: "Such a little girl has such a wonderful throat that shakes Liangchen, it's really rare in the world!" He rewarded Liu Haohao with a brocade of Pegasus horse and a pair of rhinoceros horn combs on the spot.

    Liu Haohao debuted on the singing field for the first time, and it can be described as a blockbuster.

    In the past, I only knew that Liu Haohao was a versatile girl, and I had also heard that she could sing, but I never thought that her singing voice was so wonderful!

    She won the favor of old general Wang Sichang, and when he learned that she was still the daughter of an official, he immediately instructed her to be included in the music book and became a camp performer who sang for the official army[4].

    Liu Haohao felt full of joy, thinking that a magnificent and prosperous door had suddenly opened to her.  The inexperienced Liu Haohao naturally doesn't understand what the life of a kabuki without freedom will mean to her life.

    Notes

    [1] "Zhang Haohao Poetry"

    "Zhang Haohao Poetry" is a poem written by Du Mu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty.  This poem uses heavy brushwork and heavy colors to recall Zhang Haohao's beautiful scene six years ago when he first uttered clear rhymes and became famous.  In just a few years, Zhang Haohao, who was graceful and graceful back then, has become the daughter of a "danglong" who sells wine in Dongcheng.  With exquisite poetic language, Du Mu reproduces Zhang Haohao's tragic life of ups and downs, and expresses the poet's deep sympathy for such suffering women who cannot control their own destiny.  The whole poem is full of emotions and elegant diction, which can be called a masterpiece of Tang poetry.

    ? Word notes:

    Shu: Shu beauty.

    Zhuo: z¨¢ grows, blooms.

    Tarsus: fu calyx.

    Hesitating: chi chu for an instant.

    ÁÑ: The front and rear parts of the garment.

    Hu¨¢n: hu¨¢n hair in a bun.

    Ru: ru short jacket.

    Qu: Qu extends in all directions.

    [2] Wu Wa

    The word "wa" originally meant a mature and beautiful woman.  The interpretation of "baby" in "Shuowen Jiezi" is "Ô², deep eyes and round eyes (appearance). Or, Wu Chu's leisure (between) is called a good baby.

    The original meaning of "good" is also beautiful.  From this we can infer that in the Han Dynasty, when the word "wa" was first used, it meant "beauty" and described a mature woman.

    In the writings of Tang and Song people, the age of women shown in this word has become significantly younger. The "baby" in many poems is a synonym for girls and young girls.

    After the Ming Dynasty, the age of the character "baby" dropped even lower.  In today's colloquial sayings, in addition to intimate nicknames, the word "baby" is more commonly used for infants and young children.

    [3] Guan Panpan

    A famous prostitute in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Yin, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was a concubine.

    In 804 A.D. (the 20th year of Zhenyuan), Bai Juyi passed by Xuzhou when he was appointed as the school secretary, and had a banquet with Zhang Yin. During the banquet, Zhang Yin asked Panpan to serve the banquet.  Bai Juyi wrote two lines of poems and presented them to her on the spot: "Drunk and charming can't win, and the wind blows peony flowers."

    Two years later, Zhang Min died of illness in Xuzhou and was buried in Beimang Mountain, Luoyang.  Guan Panpan couldn't forget the friendship between husband and wife, so she moved to the Swallow Tower at the foot of Yunlong Mountain in the suburb of Xuzhou to observe festivals for Zhang Min.

    In 815 A.D. (the tenth year of Yuanhe), Zhang Zhongsu, who had served under Zhang Yin for many years and had just been promoted to the rank of Secretary Wai Lang, visited Bai Juyi in Chang'an.  He knew Guan Panpan's life very well, told Bai Juyi the story of Panpan in detail, and showed Bai Juyi the three "New Songs of the Swallow House" written for Panpan.  Bai Juyi's three rhymes and poems.  When Panpan got the poem, he wept and said: "My concubine can't die. I'm afraid that my father will have a concubine who died from death. Standing clear and clear, it's a white poem, and he died without eating every day."
