(1) Jang Han-ga (performance): 60 minutes
This is a long epic poem written by Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty in China, in his youth. It is about the tragic love story between Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, and consists of four chapters.
Chapter 1 sings of the meeting between the emperor at the top of power and the peerless concubine Yang Guifei, and the utmost affection that Emperor Xuanzong showers on Yang Guifei.
Chapter 2 depicts the emperor's heart breaking with regret and loneliness over having accidentally caused the death of Yang Guifei while on his way to the An Lushan Rebellion.
Chapter 3 describes the emperor spending his time thinking only of Yang Guifei after his return to the capital.
In Chapter 4, the Taoist's illusionist magic allows him to find Yang Guifei's soul and confirm their future love vows, but the severance of the heavenly and human worlds leaves a lasting impression of the bitter regret he must relive as long as he lives.

FAQ
The Terracotta Army holds immense historical significance as the funerary army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor. It was created to protect him in the afterlife, reflecting his ambition and the Qin Dynasty's military might. This vast collection of thousands of life-sized warrior and horse figures, each with unique facial expressions and armor, offers unparalleled insights into ancient Chinese art, military organization, and burial customs from over 2,200 years ago. Its discovery reshaped understanding of the period.
The Terracotta Army was accidentally discovered in March 1974 by local farmers drilling a well near Xi'an. They unearthed fragments of clay figures, bronze arrowheads, and bricks, which quickly led to archaeological investigation. This chance discovery unveiled the first of several pits containing thousands of terracotta soldiers, horses, and chariots, hidden underground for over two millennia. The site has since become one of the most significant archaeological finds of the 20th century.
Yes, the excavation of the Terracotta Army is still ongoing at the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. While Pit 1, the largest, is largely unearthed and displayed, archaeologists continue to work on Pits 2 and 3, uncovering new sections and figures. Recent revelations include more detailed armor types, specific weapon placements, and additional civilian figures, offering deeper insights into Qin dynasty society. Each new discovery contributes to understanding this monumental archaeological site and its intricate details.
Visiting the Terracotta Army offers an unparalleled glimpse into ancient Chinese history, allowing travelers to witness thousands of meticulously crafted, life-sized warriors.
