Features: The sense of transition between the Ming and Qing dynasties, similar to that between the Song and Yuan dynasties, differs from the simple change of ruling families. Yet, it is an indispensable part of the process of forming a unified Chinese nation. The Palace of Eternal Life borrows the popular story of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei from the Tang Dynasty and portrays the first half as a historical drama, opening up a new path for the later The Peach Blossom Fan.
