“Sung said Emperor Xuanzong from the eighth century loved horses so much that he had a stable of more than 40,000. For one birthday celebration, he invited a troupe of 400 dancing horses to perform the “Song of the Upturned Cup.”
This is one of those statements that make me think ‘are we just spending our lives on earth not knowing what to do and filling it up with wasteful things like this’?
It’s good to be king.
That was just his birthday party, imagine what his xuanzong must have been like.
