Yuzhen Princess Li chiying, whose name is Xuanxuan (692-762), is the daughter of Tang Ruizong and the younger sister of Tang Xuanzong, the granddaughter of Wu Zetian. When she was young, she joined the Tao together with Princess Jinxian under the order of Tang Ruizong and studied under the Taoist Shi Chongxuan. Her childhood was spent in fear. When Princess Yuzhen grew up, it happened that the court struggle was the most complicated and bloody. Therefore, at the age of eleven or twelve, Princess Yuzhen began to study Taoism and yearn for a quiet life. Later, Princess Yuzhen became a monk and studied Taoism.

If you keep on using electricity, you'll never find a trace. When to enter the young chamber, the queen mother should meet. ——Li Bai's poem of Yuzhen immortal.

Yu Lun Pao

In the ninth year of Kaiyuan, Wang Wei, a talented young man, came to Chang'an from Puzhou (now the west of Yongji, Shanxi Province) thousands of miles away to take the exam. Just when Wang Wei was full of ambition and wanted to win the crown, he heard that a Poet Zhang Jiugao had been promised to be the first in the palace examination through the way of Princess Tang. Wang Wei was at a loss, so he had to consider with his good friend Li Fan (Xuan Zongdi). The other side thought hard for a long time and came up with a clever plan. King Qi is ready for two things: one is to record his ten fresh and meaningful poems; the other is to compose a piece of Lute Music. Five days later, I introduced her to the princess. On the day of introduction, Li fan dressed up for Wang Wei and made him dance with the music ball in a prominent position. The extraordinary image of miaoyian, white and beautiful, jumped into the eyes of the princess and was favored by her. Li Fan asked Li Fan about him. Li said with a smile, "he is a bosom friend." The princess heard that there was a sound outside the words and ordered her to play the lute. The confidant, with a clear mind, played a new song "Yu Lun Pao", which deeply touched the hearts of the audience with its superb skills and vivid emotions. At the end of the song, all the guests were moved. Princess Daqi, Qiwang also introduced: "this life is not only about rhythm, but also about CI." After reading the poem, the princess was extremely shocked and said, "these are the works that I usually recite. I thought they were good works of ancient sages. Are they the works of my son?" As a result, he was promoted to a guest seat and treated well as a VIP. When the princess learned that Wang Wei was also a Ju Zi who came to Beijing for the exam, she said, "who should we treat more if these talented people don't come to the top of the list?" He also called the examiners to the third place, and the maidservant of the palace passed on the message. The examiner certainly understood. On top of the palace examination, Wang Wei finally became "the leader of the world", and then embarked on his official career and became famous all over the world.
