Autumn Moon in the Han Palace

Pipa music was later adapted into Erhu, Jiangnan Silk and Bamboo, etc. It expresses the resentment and sorrow of the oppressed palace ladies in ancient times. During the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, Cai Wenji lived in the southern Huns for twelve years. As the wife of King Zuoxian, she missed her hometown very much.

When Cao Cao sent someone to take her back to the mainland, she was not allowed to leave her two children. The joy of returning home was overwhelmed by the pain of separation, and she felt very conflicted. According to records, Erhu was passed down by Mr. Liu Tianhua. "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace" is intended to express the resentment and sorrow of the oppressed palace ladies in ancient times and arouse people's sympathy for their unfortunate experiences.
