After Du Gu Boyuan moved into the tomb, the entire underground palace maintained a sense of vitality. Daily rituals, garden strolls, sleeping with concubines... It wasn't until he was near death that the place gradually returned to lifeless silence. A long dream returning to dust, leaving people sighing with emotion.
The Mengqing Pond was where Du Gu Boyuan and his concubines bathed and played together. He was near death at the time, but the life-long medicines he hoarded had no use, and selling them felt troublesome. Thus, he devised a medicinal bath that he shared with concubines, exploring its pleasures together.
The medicinal bath was the epitome of opulence. Li Xian and Wen Caishang arrived here, witnessing the scent of strong medicine emanating from the jade-built pool, filled with pale purple medicinal water, its surface shrouded in mist, like being covered with a veil of smoke.
