Summary
[edit]DescriptionChunfeng Taoli (春風桃李) - “Song of Unending Sorrow” Charm - Primal Trek.jpg |
English: An Asian numismatic charm with images in the area surrounding the square centre hole showing four (4) couples making love in various sex positions. (Or in an alternative interpretation, displaying one couple making love in four (4) different positions.).
Surrounding the images of people having sex are 4 (four) Traditional Chinese characters referencing an ancient Chinese poem which is entitled “Song of Unending Sorrow” or the “Song of Everlasting Regret”. This old poem describes the great love of the Tang Dynasty Emperor Xuanzong (685-762 AD) for his deceased beautiful consort named Yang Guifei, and expresses his feelings of deep sorrow upon her death. The Traditional Chinese characters displayed on the marriage coin charm are as follows:
The inscription is read in the same order as “spring, wind, peach, plum”. These are the first (1st) four (4) Traditional Chinese characters of a line from the poem which translates into the English language as “Gone were the breezy spring days when the peach and plum trees were in bloom”. |
