'Appreciating the Festive Lantern'
(Movement 1, 3 & 4)
One of the most significant Nanyin music suites, the song speaks of the story ‘Leaving Behind My Embroidered Shoes’. Set in the Song dynasty, a young man named, Guo Hua was on his way to the imperial examination when he met a beautiful lady in a rouge shop. He bought her some rouge and agreed to meet her at the Xiang Guo Temple on the night of the Lantern Festival. However, on the appointed night, Guo had one too many drinks with his friends and slept through the night at the temple. Disappointed, the young lady left but not before leaving behind her shoes as evidence of her presence.
