herself in front of the mirror with tiffany, and attached poetry: “how modest
you appear once I close to you, while like a fairy when overlook. Who is the
only one I dream of, Oh, It’s always you!” At the point of death, she urged her
mother and Chunxiang to bury her self-portrait under the rockery stone in

According to the death trial, Du Liniang will got revival, so she told Liu Mengmei
the truth. At first he felt astonished and later felt touched by mutual sincere
love. Therefore they decided to get married and followed Liniang’s advice to
open her coffin beneath the palm tree under Taoist nun Shi’s guidance. Finally,
Du Liniang got revival again.

the Marriage: Liu Mengmei met the father-in-law after he was in the first place
in the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, Du Bao, the father-in-law, did not
admit this secret marriage, which drove the newlyweds to report it to the
Imperial court. Through the grace decree of the Imperial court, gathering ail
of them in the palace, the marriage was approved by Liniang’s parents.
An Amazing Dream in the Garden: The phrase of
The Peony Pavilion is elegant and has endless charm. Just a phrase like
“amazing dream” is indeed a gem and reaches the acme of perfection. This play
tells a story that: Du Liniang amused herself in the backyard garden instigated
by the servant Chun Xiang, and saw all flowers blooming and all birds singing.
The sight stroke the chord in her heart. When return back and fell asleep due
to being exhausted, she saw Liu Mengmei and had a heart-to-heart talk in her
dream, even fell in love with each other with the assist of flower immortal.

to pour out. The Peony Pavilion with six songs combines emotion with scenery,
serving as a foil to moumful feeling in her heart. Also it is the important
reason why this play is always prosperous so far.
