At the foot of Bogda Peak, clouds are lingering and water waves are rippling. The Queen Mother of the West and Zhou Muwang, surrounded by fairies, raise their glasses and respect each other ... This is a scene in the musical Meet in Yaochi.

In folklore, Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain was once a fairyland where the Queen Mother of the West lived. According to Mu Biography, in 989 BC, people marched westward to Yaochi, Tianshan Mountain, and the Queen Mother of the West hosted a banquet and presented silk jade articles. The Queen Mother of the West improvised a song: White clouds are in the sky and the mountains are out. It's a long way, between mountains and rivers. The baby won't die, will it come back?

Zhou Muwang immediately sang: "Go back to the land of the East and manage summer harmoniously. All men are equal. I care about you. " . Compared with three years, it will return to the wild.

When leaving, the Queen Mother of the West reluctantly said to Zhou Muwang: I wish you a long life and wish you come again! However, Zhou Muwang is gone forever. Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, felt this sad love story, leaving behind a timeless swan song: Yaochi grandma leans against the window, and Huang Zhu sings sadness.
