There are piles of embroidery in Chang 'an. What does it mean that thousands of doors are first opened at the top of the mountain?

It vividly reveals that the rulers, in order to satisfy their appetite, did not hesitate to mobilize the masses, wasting people and money, and effectively castigated the arrogance and extravagance of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei. This poem is from Three Poems of Crossing the Qing Palace written by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.

Looking back on Chang 'an, Mount Li looks like a pile of magnificent scenery. On the top of the mountain, thousands of doors of Huaqing Palace opened in turn.

As soon as I rode, the smoke billowed and the princess smiled. No one knows that the south has sent litchi fresh fruit.

Writing background

Three Poems Crossing Huaqing Palace (I) was written by Du Mu when he passed through Huaqing Palace in Lishan Mountain. Huaqing Palace was built in the 11th year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (723), where Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei had fun. Many poets in later generations have written poems about Huaqing Palace, among which Du Mu's Three Poems Crossing Huaqing Palace is one of the representative works.

The first sentence describes the scenery of Mount Li where Huaqing Palace is located. The poet writes from the perspective of "looking back" in Chang 'an, just like a film photographer. First, he shows a broad and far-reaching panorama of Mount Li in front of the audience: lush trees, lush flowers and plants, palaces and castles stand among them, just like a beautiful group. "Embroidered Pile" not only refers to the East Embroidered Ridge and the West Embroidered Ridge on both sides of Mount Li, but also describes the beauty of Mount Li.
