The play, also known as "Pavilion of a Hundred Flowers", originated from a local drama "Drunken Yang Concubine" during the Qianlong period, which was polished by Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang. It's one of the classic representative plays of the clan of Mei, especially the four flat tones at the beginning are the most classic.

The play tells the story of Emperor Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei who arranged to have a banquet the day before to enjoy flowers and drink wine.

The next day, Yang Guifei came to the pavilion and prepared a banquet for the emperor, but the emperor's carriage took a long time to arrive. Suddenly news came that the emperor had gone to the palace of Jiang Fei, and Yang Guifei was distressed to death upon hearing that.

Yang Guifei was a narrow-minded, jealous woman who was most likely to react when faced with injustice. She was so jealous of the Emperor that she could not help but feel a lot of depressive emotions. As a result, it was difficult for her to overcome her emotions at the moment, and the wine increased her grief, so even three drinks could make her drunk. Her lust for love was completely out of control.
